Microsoft, while dominating the operating system and office software markets, has failed to make any sort of dent in the online world. Microsoft and Yahoo have already been working together in the past few years in an attempt to claw back some market share from Google.
Will Google be worried?
..read moreFor the last quarter of 2007, Google's profit increased $608 million to $1.21 billion. But yet many analysts are disappointed, expecting Google's profit to increase by even more.
There is something crazy in a market where a relatively young company makes over a billion dollars in profit in 3 months, which is an increase of over 100% and totally dominates its market and analysts are still disappointed.

This tool allows you to check the Google PageRank of up to five websites at a time. I may increase the limit to ten in the near future, but I need to monitor the impact on the server first.

I think these so called experts are wrong and have often used directory submissions as one way to obtain inbound links.
