Recession is caused when consumers do not spend money hence become savers to cut company costs.
It is the time period of great suffering for employees of every company. The workforce which get severely affect are software engineers, labours and every other employer related with Information technology.
On the contrary this the period where webmasters can take advantage to the most.
To whatever level the recession has reached people will not stop surfing the internet, there still will be huge surfing and clicking of the websites addresses as well as google ads.
Here comes the concept of SEO, which apart from being in the mid of marketing, benefits alot to the webmasters. This is because of the reason a webmaster know the technique and idea behind pay-per-click and also they are aware of every concept about marketing strategy.
Whether you're the webmaster of a site with a moderated blog, forum or discussion lists you're always able to keep your work on track even if the recession monster is haunting the world.
In simple words lets say that a web master is a masterblaster or you can say he/she is a multi talented personality having sound knowledge of HTML,CSS and other web technologies as well well equipped with the knowledge of how to sell your product in market that's what people in industry call it MARKETING.
Even if the recession monster haunts, a webmaster can challenge it with full zeal.Let's take an example:
Suppose that a industry runs a business of hardware selling. During recession there may be a situation where the demand of people decrease but the marketing of the products need to be done. Here the webmaster take the advantage, because he is the one dealing with real marketing world and knows the strategy of how to indulge the customers atleast on to reading there marketing banners, blogs, emails related to the product.
1.Web Master is also known as website administrator,its main focus is to
1.maintain website,
2.web servers
3.Operation hardware and software,
4. Most importantly check traffic though the website.
Basically web master put there mind in designing as well as marketing of the particular website..
so that user or customer able to get information about our website.
So it is necessary that Web master should smarter than a s/w engineer because s/w engineer put
the main duties of a software engineer involve programming computers i.e .to implement practically
where as webmaster promote the website ,increase the traffic so that our website shiuld recongise by the user
and work of s/w engineer get noticed....so webmaster should be smarter.
Q2. What is Importance of blog link submission, url submission, and Ad Posting for SEO cum Web Master?
Ans2.Blog link submission url submission, and Ad Posting are helpful in getting backlinks and traffic.
It is one of the most prominent ways to improve SEO for your blog or website.The following technique
will be helpful in following ways they are as follows:-

7.Ad posting:the website business owner can use any size or any number of words to create an
impressive online ads posting.
Q3.Why Google , Yahoo, Microsoft like only those Web Masters, whose Website and Blogs have huge number of visitors?
Ans 3.Webmasters whose blogs and websites have huge number of visitors will substantially carry huge traffic with them.
With this huge blog traffic, very soon, that blog will come out of the top and will receive better traffic and more user who can read the blog or website.
This in turn will increase the search engines clicks and increase in reliability,usability towards the particular search engine.
For example :a user search on google a topic on how to download movies ? and if user satisifed with result then 'popularity' of the search engine increase.
The search engines do not want to carry worst names for showing results for the blogs Due to the high marketing value of targeted search results,
there is potential for an adversarial relationship between search engines and Webmasters.thats why.
Q4.Why all Search Engines do not prefer to work with less Traffic generated Website and Blog?
Ans4.The majority of web traffic is driven by the major commercial search engines such as Google, Yahoo ,Bing and MSN.
Google attracts approximately 60% of worldwide searches at 37 billion, with Yahoo (8.5 billion) and Microsoft (2.2 billion)
88% of users disregard their search if the first 3 pages don't provide an answer to their question
This is the reason why search engines prefer high traffic websites because favouring less traffic websites will in turn result
in disregard the search from that particular search engine and thus decreases the popularity of the search engine.
No search engine can't tolerate with itself that is why high traffic websites are given top most priority.
just take an example when you search best movies of bollywood in 2011 then will you to look for the thousands
of search results shown by the engine. But obvious answer is NO because each don't have a so much time to check all results
usually u jst check 3 or 4 pages which have a high trafficing.
Q5.How an Smart Web Master can take advantage of Global recession?
First of all what is Global recession?A global recession is a period of global economic slowdown.Every coin has 2 faces
the one face is that:- when consumers do not spend money hence become savers to cut company costs.
It is the time period of great suffering for employees of every company. The workforce which get severely affect are
software engineers, labours and every other employer related with Information technology.
where as other face is webmaster who takes the advantage of recession because what will be economic condition
people dnt stop surfing the internet there still will be huge surfing and clicking of the websites addresses as well as google ads
This is because of the reason a webmaster know the technique and idea behind pay-per-click and also they are aware of every
concept about marketing strategy.so that there website is available on the top and get money for each click.
for example:
Suppose that a industry runs a business of software selling. There may be a situation where the demand
of people decrease but the marketing of the products need to be done. Here the webmaster take the advantage, because he
is the one dealing with real marketing world and knows the strategy of how to indulge the customers by ad posting,email,

On the eve of their yet another fast for an effective Lokpal Bill, Team Anna on Tuesday hit out at the government, with anti graft crusader Anna Hazare accusing the government of repeatedly going back on its promises.
Addressing mediapersons here, Hazare said, "The aim is to campaign for a Lokpal Bill. The government is only giving us assurances, but takes no action."
Elaborating on his meeting with the Law Minister, he said, "The government sent Salman Khurshid to meet me at my village. He said that the government was willing to pass the Lokpal Bill that we wanted. But nothing was done about it. The government has betrayed us time and again."
"The Government, Standing Committee and various commissions have let us down," Hazare said, adding, "the government does not want to check corruption."
He informed that he would sit on indefinite hunger strike at Jantar Mantar from Sunday, four days after his aides Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia and Gopal Rai kickstart their campaign.
Meanwhile, key Team Anna associate Arvind Kejriwal alleged that President-elect Pranab Mukherjee and 15 central ministers including the Prime Minister were corrupt.
"Pranab Mukherjee is also among the 15 corrupt ministers. It's unfortunate he will become the President tomorrow," Kejriwal said.
He demanded setting up of fast track courts to deal with corruption cases related to the members of parliament.
"All those parties who supported Pranab have betrayed the country. 162 MPs in Lok Sabha and 39 MPs in Rajya Sabha have cases of corruption against them. Fast-track courts should be made to dispose off such cases against them," Kejriwal said.
Team Anna has demanded setting up of a Special Investigation Team to probe corruption allegations against Union Ministers, besides constituting a fast track court to try cases against MPs and a strong Lokpal Bill. (ANI)
TEAM A:
1. Anna Hazare (RTI campaigner)
2. Shanti Bhushan (Lawyer)

AMERICAN Airlines aims to lay off 1200 non-unionised workers, with its sights on sky caps, cargo staff, airport agents and reservationists, it revealed today.
Parent AMR Corp. is seeking $US1.25 billion ($1.2 billion) in annual concessions from its workers in order to reduce its costs and successfully restructure in bankruptcy-court protection.
Cutbacks include paring annual costs for its 10,000 non-union staff by $US95 million, or 20 per cent.
Next Monday, American will begin its argument in US Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan for why the judge should allow the company to abrogate its current labor agreements with its three big unions so that the carrier can impose terms on those workers, The Wall Street Journal reported.
The unions, representing pilots, flight attendants, mechanics and ground workers, will be able to mount their case for why they believe AMR is asking for too much next month.
The judge has indicated he will render a decision on June 6, and it is expected that he will encourage the parties to try to reach consensual agreements on new terms before then.
The Fort Worth-based carrier today said its staff changes will be implemented within the next 60 to 120 days, the Star-Telegram reported.
It also plans to shut its regional reservations office in Tucson, proposing to move some of the 750 agents there to home-based work, and make cutbacks in its premium traveler clubs.
“The decisions in reshaping these departments — including in some cases, outsourcing, creating different tiers of work, closing some operations and moving some work to home-based positions — were not made lightly,” said airline spokesman Bruce Hicks.
“While very difficult, all of these approaches are designed to preserve tens of thousands of jobs and return American to a sustainable, profitable airline.”
