It is believed that we men comprise the more privileged lot in our society, but if we look closely, then reality lies far away from these pre-conceived notions. We often deal with internal pressures and societal expectations to conform to the universally accepted principles of being a ‘Man’ in the modern society. So, this International Men’s day, we bring to you some of the typical Indian ways in which men are stigmatized in our society and what it really means to ‘be a man’ here. Boys don’t play with Barbies’, that’s what we’re told through all our childhood years. You’ve got to love GI Joes, know all about Superman and want to wrestle other boys. And more than that, you’re supposed to stay away from anything pink and ‘girly’. That’s how we’re welcomed into the world of gender stereotypes.  From an early age, we are hard-wired to be ‘strong’ and not show any weakness. We are often directed to suppress are feelings and not be cowards even if it means going through physical...

In a question answered on  Twitter , Google’s Gary Ilyes said, it’s ok to add tabbed content in mobile-first world and it will be given full-weight contrary to desktop content. In the mobile-first world content hidden behind the “Read More” tabs will be given full weight by Google’s search engine crawlers, however this is either devalued or not indexed on desktop. Two years ago  Google had said  that content within tabs and click to expand might not be either ranked or indexed. John Mueller had said, “content within click to expand menus or tabs could be discounted as Google knows it is being hidden from users. As a result of this, the page may not be ranked for content by Google within those sections as it knows users do not view content by default.” Source

' Every child comes with the message that God is not yet discouraged of man ' - Rabindranath Tagore. As we celebrate Children's Day today, let us pause for a moment and look back at some of the best young talents we have in our country. They way they have achieved such brilliance so early, is worthy of applause. 1. Shorya Mahanot - A prodigy in abstract art Seven year old Shorya Mahanot started his tryst with colours when he discovered his sisters' art books. But unlike them, he gravitated towards abstract works, very much like Jackson Pollock, who incidentally happens to be this young prodigy's role model. When asked about Pollock in an interview, Shorya replied, "He also makes paintings like me." 2. Truptraj Pandya - Correction. That's Master Truptraj Pandya Pandya was just 18 months old when he started playing the tabla. At age 6, he was awarded with a certificate from Guinness Book of World Records for being the youngest ever Tab...

US Republican Donald Trump beat Democrat Hillary Clinton to win the election that will make him the 45th President of the United States, AP reported. After a long and bitterly-fought campaign, Trump today engendered a shock upset by winning 276 electoral votes, six more than the 270 needed to win the Presidency. His opponent, former Secretary of State Clinton, won a fewer-than-expected 218 votes. Results are still coming in from some states, but they no longer matter. Crucial for Trump were wins in the 'swing states' Ohio, North Carolina and Florida. 'Swing states' are states that don't consistently vote for any of the two major parties. Unlike his rival Clinton, who has served as a US Senator and Secretary of State, Trump has never before held public office. The 70-year-old Republican was, until the campaign began, famous for his abrasive hosting of The Apprentice, a reality television series. He's chairman and president of the Trump Organization, a c...

Wondering what's up with local search rankings lately? Columnist Joy Hawkins has the scoop on a recent local algorithm update that local SEO experts are calling 'Possum.' For those of you wondering what “Possum” is, it’s the name we in the local search community decided to give the massive Local algorithm update that happened September 1, 2016. Phil Rozek suggested the name, pointing out that it is fitting since many business owners think their Google My Business listings are gone, when in fact they are not. They have just been filtered — they’re playing possum. What was the update? All the evidence seems to indicate this particular update only impacted ranking in the 3-pack and Local Finder (AKA the local results or Google Maps results). There is talk of another update that happened right after, which impacted organic results. I believe the main purpose of the update was to diversify the local results and also prevent spam from ranking as well. Based o...
