Xbox 360 and PS3 owners can now go download the demo for NBA 2K11, arriving three weeks ahead of the full game's release. The game gives you one five minute quarter of Lakers-Celtics on the pro difficulty but you may only play as the Lakers. The audio commentary is also removed, but the pre-game animations are there to give you a sense of how a big game will be presented.

SEO: A Comprehensive Guide for Beginners

SEO is starting to get big and I believe it can potentially be the next "call center" industry here in the Philippines. I have been closely working with the SEO team in the office so i decided to start reading about it.

You hear the term all the time, but how do you actually rank higher in the search engines? I know when I first heard the term, it sounded like some voodoo magic that only a few people understood how to use.The reality is, SEO isn’t rocket science. Some gurus would have you believe it takes years of dedicated study to understand it, but I don’t think that’s true. Sure, mastering the subtle nuances takes time, but the truth is that you can learn the fundamentals in just a few minutes. So, I got to thinking, "Why don’t I lay out the basics, all in one post?" It’s a long one, to be sure, but after years of studying SEO and working behind the scenes to help companies get first page rankings, I’m convinced this is all you need to know. If you are looking to boost your traffic so that you can increase your sales, just follow these basic guidelines.

Google Instant

Google yet steps up in making our lives easier to search on the web. Can't wait for this to be implemented in the Philippines.

Google Instant is a new search enhancement that shows results as you type. We are pushing the limits of our technology and infrastructure to help you get better search results, faster. Our key technical insight was that people type slowly, but read quickly, typically taking 300 milliseconds between keystrokes, but only 30 milliseconds (a tenth of the time!) to glance at another part of the page. This means that you can scan a results page while you type.

 The most obvious change is that you get to the right content much faster than before because you don’t have to finish typing your full search term, or even press “search.” Another shift is that seeing results as you type helps you formulate a better search term by providing instant feedback. You can now adapt your search on the fly until the results match exactly what you want. In time, we may wonder how search ever worked in any other way.
