The newly formed Ruby Sevens Series is still running as scheduled with interesting results from teams like Malaysia who dominated its first Asian Rugby Sevens Series in Brunei to go undefeated and triumph in the final against Philippines 28-7.

After dominating its Brunei pool on day one with wins against Laos, India, Philippines and the hosts, Malaysia started day two equally strongly with an emphatic 47-0 win over Brunei to book a place in the final against the other form team, Philippines, who beat Laos 48-0.

In the Cup final, the Philippines were in contention for much of the match but the Malaysians proved the stronger side, eventually winning 28-7.

Lower down the competition, hosts Brunei continued their strong form, running India close 12-5 before upending fourth seeds Laos.

Having hit top form, the Malaysians must now prepare to play on home soil in Sabah, Malaysian Borneo on 31 October and 1 November, in the Series' fourth event.

I will start looking for Asian Rugby Sevens Rankings

Search engine optimization (SEO) will help your site rank highly in popular search engine results.
Search engine optimization is the act of optimizing a website (in terms of code, content and links) to increase traffic from major search engines, like Google, Yahoo! and Bing.

What Do Search Engines Look For?
Search engines index content on the web with computer programs called "bots," which move through websites by "crawling" from link to link. In order to provide the most useful search results, search engines assess pages in terms of:

• Relevance: The relevance of content on a site depends on how closely it matches a search query. A site's content is considered more relevant when the queried terms appear in the title or headings of the content and HTML tags.
• Popularity: A website's importance is measured by the number of times other sites link back to it. These are called backlinks, and when they come from a highly respected site, like the New York Times, for example, they carry more weight.

 

Five Ways to Boost SEO
There are lots of ways to improve how high your site ranks on major search engines, and we've highlighted five to get you started:

1) Add Unique Content to Your Site
Brainstorm keywords that your audience might use to find you. Anytime you add content to your site — blog posts, product descriptions, an "About Us" section, etc. — it should be rich with those keywords. Unique, quality content also gives other sites reasons to link to you, and building backlinks is part of the popularity factor search engines pay attention to.

2) Place Keywords in Key Places
Those same keywords should appear in your page titles, headings and subheadings (in terms of content and code). However, that doesn't mean you should cram them anywhere you can. Use them where they're relevant, and if they aren't relevant in certain places, replace them with words that are.

3) Create a Sitemap
Sitemaps can improve SEO by displaying links to pages on your site that search engine bots might miss otherwise. Structure your site's pages from broad to specific, and try to keep them no more than three clicks from the homepage. Google Webmaster Tools, available via your control panel, explains how to create sitemaps and submit them to Google.

4) Add Links with Strong Anchor Text
When linking to relevant sites, tell your readers where you're sending them. The anchor text (the wording displayed in a hyperlink) should closely match the URL you are pointing to. For example, here are two ways to link to http://www.google.com/webmasters/:

Strong anchor text:
"Check out Google Webmaster Tools."

Weak anchor text:
"Check out Google Webmaster Tools, here."

5) Submit Your Site to Search Engines
SEO tools allow you to submit your website to popular search engines. Gold and Platinum plans offer competitor analysis, meta tag generation, and more.

 

Search engine optimization takes time, but sticking with it will help establish a strong visitor base for your site, or expand your online business through increased sales.

Google on Monday released an experimental new content browser called Fast Flip that makes it possible to see a curated set of content sites using a physical "turn the pages" metaphor. Fast Flip pages are cached by Google and load very quickly, which is cool. And if your brain is stuck in 1969 and you want to pretend that new-fangled computer in front of you is a microfilm reader, it'll feel natural to use.

Fast Flip is a good solution for putting a magazine or newspaper online, and it makes scanning even a more modern Web feed really fast. But it still feels forced. It's an intermediate online format that gives you an experience that's even more linear than a print publication, and it provides less overall context than you can get from a moderately well-design Web site.

I believe it’s an amazing tool & I wish it will be adopted by our local newspapers soon.

On Sep 11 2009 Published in The National, a new English newspaper launched by the Abu Dhabi Media Company.

Dubai Exiles enjoy their iftar feast with a deluge of points

DUBAI // The iftar enjoyed by Ghaith Jalajel, the Jordanian hooker, will have tasted even sweeter than usual yesterday evening.

The Dubai Exiles No 2 touched down in time just as his try all but sealed a 42-14 opening day Gulf Cup victory over Muscat.

Jalajel’s score, which put the Exiles 26-0 up, followed shortly after sunset and he celebrated by breaking his day-long fast with a well-earned banana. A dramatic storm just before kick-off did little to affect the preparedness of the winning team as strong winds blew down the fence that rings the neighbouring netball court at The Sevens, and there was even some unseasonal rainfall.

Jalajel’s front-row colleague Chris Deacon also went over for the victors and John Beeton dotted down in the corner.

The rest of the scoring was left to Paul Beard, the Arabian Gulf full-back, whose 27-point haul included two tries.
