When you view the search results, sometimes you see some additional links to other pages, including a single search result for the page. This often happens when the search engine finds your query navigation, and you want to find some specific page on the site. For example, if you want to visit the homepage of WordPress, Instead of typing «wordpress.org» or «wordpress.com» in the browser address bar, you can type «wordpress» in the search form. The possibility exists that you want to get into a WordPress page, instead of finding sites that mention the word «wordpress».
Search engines do not always use the same mechanisms, which direct you to the page, but there is a significant number of similarities. For example, using the word «wordpress» in search engine Google, you will see the homepage wordpress.org top of search results as well as several links to pages on this site, including the page where you can download the software, as well as a page with links to support forums. In a similar finding in Yahoo you will see the homepage wordpress.com – accommodation services of blogs, as well as additional pages of the categories of blogs, which can be found on the page.
Why does Google show site where you can download the software, and Yahoo shows- accommodation services blogs?

Is your organization considering setting up a profile on a social networking site? Are you wondering what tasks are involved, how much time it will take, and how you might streamline your efforts? Maybe your organization has established a presence on MySpace and is now contemplating adding one to Facebook. Perhaps you are wondering how you can juggle multiple profiles and still have time left to do other work.
As more and more organizations jump on the social networking bandwagon, people are seeking ways to make the time spent on these tools as efficient and fruitful as possible. I recently surveyed several nonprofit professionals and social networking mavens about their social networking habits. The tips below, taken from their responses, offer suggestions for effectively managing your profiles and contacts on social networking sites, finding people with relevant interests to your nonprofit or professional goals, working between multiple social networking sites, and getting the most out of social networking tools even if you’re not a Web designer or techie.
1. Invest Time in Your Network
While most online social networks cost nothing for your organization to join, keep in mind that creating a strong online presence on one can require an investment of up to two hours a day, especially in the beginning when you are learning how to use the site, setting up your profile, and making friends. If you’re unprepared to make this commitment, you may want to reconsider using these tools at your organization.
If you don’t have someone on-staff who can help manage your social networks, you may want to seek outside help. Heather Mansfield, Community Manager at Change.org, suggests finding a social networking intern or an assistant who can spend a minimum of 10 hours per week managing your site or sites, noting that many organizations are seeking full-time staffers to do the job. “I am starting to see larger nonprofits creating full-time social networking positions for 40 hours a week,” she said.
Keep in mind that there is a fair amount of trial and error with using social networking sites, and your organization may not see results right away. “There is a learning curve; don’t expect immediate results for at least three months, whatever your objectives may be,” advised Alex De Carvalho, Community Manager of multimedia social networking site Scrapblog. “Take the time to build your profile correctly and learn the ropes of what works and what doesn’t.” Nick Noakes, a director at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, stresses the value of this “no-guilt” exploration time. “It has brought me knowledge and contacts more than a lot of planned things I do,” he said.
