Scottie Claiborne – who is Scottie Claiborne? review on scottie of successful-sites

Who is Scottie Claiborne?

There are some people, who live in a dream world, and there are some who face reality; and then there are those who turn one into the other and Scottie Claiborne matches the third.

Right from her childhood, she was in touch with sales and marketing and took her first lessons in marketing from her mother’s jewelry shop. Thus her sales ideas grew, found out new strategies in the game of marketing, caught the tactics behind the career and finally employed it as her vocation.

She enjoyed the fun in watching different sales techniques, how it worked and how it failed at times. Scottie found interesting how the chain of marketing ran successful that started from message, and ended up in audience through merchandise.

Scottie placed her first step in online marketing successfully when she became confident of managing sales in any stage. Since 1998, Claiborne has been developing corporate intranets and was managing online content management system for Levity Technologies, Inc. as Vice President of Product Development. She then started Right Click Web Consulting in 2001 with the idea of maximizing the potential of the web.

Right Click Web Consulting is a result of clear planning, right management and bright execution of ideas. She knew what a website was in need of and was upright in the decisions she took.

“Succeeding on the web is all about timing, creativity, and usability. It’s more than marketing since a website acts as the billboard, storefront, and processing center all in one,” says Scottie with a deep and strong knowledge about the networking world. Her Masters Degree in IT is an added feather to her colorful success.

Scottie Claiborne also contributes to newsletters and articles and takes an authoritative tone in the concepts she deal with. Staying ahead of Competitors, Web Analytics Terminology, Hiring a Search Marketer etc are right examples for her creative contributions to the field of online marketing. Scottie’s articles carry an experienced pitch and could confidently handle any subject she was familiar with.

Scottie proved herself unbeatable. As days pass by, she might open up new doors in the field of online marketing.

Site:www.example.com Returns 5x Greater Number of Pages Than on the Site

A webmasterworld poster reports he is seeing more than 5x of pages showing in the site: command of google, as many are aware of site: command shows the pages that are indexed under a particular domain, It is an useful command for various reason one good is reason is if you want to find a particular information on a news site or some information site we can use the keyword that document contains with the site:www.domain.com and find that page,

From what i can see there are no changes in site: command, probably what that user found was just a glitch,

How do you spell Levenshtein?

Saw an interesting posting in MSN search blog about their spelling correction system implementation into their new MSN beta search, see what have are saying,

How do you spell Levenshtein?

Doing a good job of helping Search users to

correct misspelled queries is super important for two main reasons: a) 5 billion

crawled docs and a bleeding edge ranking algorithm can’t do much if the query

isn’t spelled right and b) more than 10% of all searches are misspelled! So we

made sure our new search engine included a revamped spelling correction system

that’s much better than our old one.

To improve the speller we worked with

Silviu Cucerzan and Eric Brill from Microsoft Research’s Text Mining, Search and

Navigation Group. Silviu and Eric have developed some novel techniques for using

search query statistics and iterative transformation of query strings to improve

spell correction. Their published paper on this topic – Spelling correction as

an iterative process that exploits the collective knowledge of web users –goes

into much more detail on some of the technical thinking that inspired the

spelling correction system we built.
