Most search engines automatically search the entire web looking for new websites and web pages to add to their index. This is called "crawling the web" and may be carried out every few hours, days, weeks or months. Timing depends on the site being crawled; some sites are crawled more often than others. However, there are a few situations in which you would do well to submit your website to be indexed by a search engine. These include: - If you use a subdomain website (especially one of those free ones), it would be better if you asked for it to be indexed. Large search engines like Google are reluctant to crawl and index subdomain websites for reasons that are not clear. - You have added new content since your website was last crawled. - You have important information that you want to appear in search engine results immediately. - Your website is brand new.

As a precaution, every Facebook user should be prepared to leave the service if the need ever arises and the only way to do this is to delete your account. Deleting your account is not an option which Facebook readily offers. The handy option on your account allows you to deactiv

If you are a regular user of the internet, then you probably repeat the following every time you connect to the internet: 1. You type in the web address (URL) of your email provider (Yahoo!, Gmail, etc), log in and read your mail. 2. You type in the URL of a search engine (Google, Yahoo!, etc) and look up information on varied topics. 3.

There are free programs available as add-ons for browsers that can automate the entire process of visiting websites and logging in, and even clicking on specific buttons, links o

The introduction of  Google  Chrome has changed the browser landscape and has compelled other developers like Mozilla and  Microsoft  to devote even more resources to their own web browsers. With its new V8  engine which loads web pages fastest, innovative browser security and a totally revamped user interface, Chrome is the fastest growing browser in terms of usage statistics. While Google Chrome is highly impressive and efficient in plenty of ways, it has a number of shortcomings These include: Memory Usage Google implemented a novel method of rendering tabs in Chrome in which a separate process is created for every tab that is opened. This differs from other browsers which handle all tabs as one process. The advantage of Google Chrome's method is that it prevents a problem in one tab from affecting other tabs, therefore, preventing the entire browser from crashing. However, the creation of separate processes causes Chrome to use up a lot of memory as it runs. This may

Some web browsers have a feature that allows users to search directly from the URL address bar where you normally enter web addresses. Such browsers include  Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Google  Chrome. Some of these browsers can only produce results from a particular search engine when used in this manner. For example, Firefox only produces Google results and Internet Explorer produces results from the default search engine (usually Bing). Google Chrome on the other hand, allows you to search any website or use any search engine in the above manner. When Chrome is first installed, it comes with at least three search engines: Google, Bing and Yahoo! Search. Any of them can be used directly from the address bar and Google is set as the default.

Public key message encryption is also known as public key cryptography or asymmetric encryption. It is a type of encryption which uses a pair of different keys known as public and private keys. A public key is used to encrypt messages and a private key is used to decrypt messages. A pair of public and private keys is specific for a particular individual. He or she distributes the public key so that anyone who wishes to send a message to him or her can encrypt the message using the public key. The private key remains known only to that individual and is used to decrypt received messages. Note that encrypted messages can still be altered by an attacker if you use some types of encryption algorithm. Encrypted messages can also be decrypted by a dedicated attacker with unlimited computational power (such as the government of a country). Besides these, encryption can go wrong if not used properly. The following are tips that will help you avoid some of these pitfalls. Do Not Selective
