personal blog posting

1. Visit the Web Design Chapter #1 Online Companion Web page (scsite.com/web3e/ch1/) and click Google, Ask.com, Windows Live Search, and Mamma in the Your Turn links.

Ok

2. Perform a keyword search using each of the four search tools using the same keyword or phrase of your choice. Compare the search results returned by each search engine.

I searched the word "music" and from google i got 1,410,000,000 results, from mama i got only 15 results. on windows live i got
835,000,000 results which is not as much as google and on ask.com i got 160,000,000 which is less than google and windows live.


a. Are the Web pages listed in the search results lists the same or different?

The search results from mamma and ask.com are difrent but google and windows live had alot of the same stuff.

b. How do the search results from the Mamma metasearch engine differ from the search results returned by the other three search engines.

Each search result was from a diffrent music genre and there where only 15 search results


c. How can you use a similar exercise to identify appropriate meta tag keywords and descriptive Web page titles when planning a Web site?
Use words that apply to what your website is about use words that could apply to your website.
