Also contact the hosting service used by the company, any company that benefits from the theft and any search engine(s) concerned.

See also Hit and Unique Visitor.


30. What is Politeness Window?
Ans- In order not to overburden any particular server, most search engine spiders limit their access to each server.

32. What do you mean by a Referrer?
Ans- The URL of the web page from which a visitor came. The server's referrer log file will indicate this. If a visitor came directly from a search engine listing, the query used to find the page will usually be encoded in the referer URL, making it easy to see which keywords are bringing visitors. The referer information can also be accessed as document.referrer within JavaScript or via the HTTP_REFERER environment variable (accessible from scripting languages).

33. What is Relevancy Algorithm?
Ans- The method a search engine or directory uses to match the keywords in a query with the content of each web page, so that the web pages found can be ordered suitably in the query results.

38. What do you mean by Skewing?
Ans- Artificially changing search engine results so that, for example, popular queries will return artificially created listings. Infoseek is currently experimenting with this technique, using a small group of reviewers to artificially force higher relevance for certain sites.

Ans- The name of the spider used by Inktomi.

40. What is Sniffer?

41. What is Spamdexing?
Ans- The alteration or creation of a document with intent to deceive an electronic catalog or filing system. Any technique that increases the potential position of a site at the expense of the quality of the search engine's database can also be regarded as spamdexing - also known as spamming or spoofing.

42. What do you mean by Spamming?
Ans-An unauthorized mail which disturbs you or sending mails to some one repeatedly against his desire.
Spamming is also used more generally to refer to the sending of unsolicited bulk electronic mail, and the search engine use is derived from this term.

43. What is a Splash page?
Ans- Similar to a gateway page but provides an initial display which must be viewed before a visitor reaches the main page. This usually acts as a kind of "opening title" sequence, and can be extremely annoying.

44. What is SSI?
Ans- Server Side Includes. Used (for example) to add dynamically generated content to a web page.

45. What is Stemming?
Ans-Putting the relative keywords close to each other.
A function of some search engines and directories which allows results to be returned from some or all keywords based on the same stem as the keyword entered as a search term. For example, when stemming is switched on, a search for the word dance will return matches for any word whose stem is danc-, matching the keywords dance, dancer and dancing.

46. What is a Stop Word?
The words like in, and, or etc. Which Google does not take into account while indexing the content.
A word which is ignored in a query because the word is so commonly used that it makes no contribution to relevancy. Examples are common net words such as computer and web, and general words like get, I, me, the and you.

47. What is a Unique Visitor?
Ans-Visitors from different IP.
A real visitor to a web site.

Web servers record the IP addresses of each visitor, and this is used to determine the number of real people who have visited a web site.

If for example, someone visits twenty pages within a web site, the server will count only one unique visitor (because the page accesses are all associated with the same IP address) but twenty page accesses.

48. What is a Virtual Server?
Ans-A server for backup or for gateway.
An account on a hosting company server, usually linked to its own domain. This provides an inexpensive way to run a web site with its own top level domain, and is usually indistinguishable from having a separate physical server, except that the virtual server may share an IP address with other virtual servers on the same machine. A virtual server account is fine for most uses, but will often be slower to respond than a physically separate server, and physical access to the machine will seldom be allowed. The cost of a virtual server account is a small fraction of that needed to run a real server, mainly because of the expense of the dedicated line needed to connect the server continuously to the rest of the net.

49. What is Voila?
Ans- A search engine from France Telecom with interfaces in at least different languages and a mission to become one of the leading international engines. Their (international) English interface at http://www.voila.com/ is produced in collaboration with Reuters, Infospace and Looksmart. Their original French language interface is at http://www.voila.fr/

50. What do you mean by ODP?
Ans-Open Directory Program.
A directory project run by thousands of volunteer editors. In principal, this is a very exciting and powerful way to organise the web. In practice, there have been some problems with the behaviour of some of the editors, which has caused some initial difficulty for the organisers. Initially known as NewHoo, the project is now part of Netscape (and therefore of AOL).
