Is reading the newspapers part of your daily routine? How many newspapers do you usually leaf through on a regular basis? Imagine being able to see the main headlines from all over the world and read only the articles you are interested in. This is made possible on the Drudge Report website, a page that has links to the hottest articles in different fields including politics, showbiz, and finance, to name but a few. The Drudge Report presents you the main newspapers from the whole world. The papers are set alphabetically, and by simply clicking on one title, you can get the contents of the entire newspaper.

Key Word Search

If you are interested in a particular article that has appeared today you can get hold of that by introducing a key word that appears in the article or in the headline. For example by introducing the word "koala" the website sent me to four Washington Post articles containing this word. In this way you may be sure you don't miss any of the info you are interested in, and will be up to date with the domains that appeal to you.

Drudge Report Archives

Visit the Drudge archives to read older articles that you might have missed at some point. This can be done by going to the archive section and introducing a word for advanced search. Introducing the word archive has led to two interesting articles from 2003 about the assassination of John Lennon. The archiving process has started in November 2001. These archives take a snapshot of the drudge report every two minutes all day long. You will have free access to sensational photos that have accompanied the articles.

Local News

For local news, you can enter your zip code and you will get the latest news from your area. Click on your area on the map, and you’ll get the related channels and the hottest news in each part.

The World's Front Pages

You can browse through today's world front pages, get The Sun, the New York Times or Die Zeit headlines and see how the front pages of these publications look like each day. The Drudge report presents you 428 front pages from all over the world.

Other features of this site include TV ratings and programs as well as movie Box-office results. In some cases there are videos linked the up-to-the-minute news, videos that you can view for free.

In conclusion, the Drudge Report is a complex website, it is actually a complete website containing all the news possible. Don’t get discouraged by the simple layout, which only features a few photos and some written lines. There is actually a lot of info behind these lines. A minus of the Grudge report would be that it is supported by advertisers that appear way too often. However, if you get past these advertisements, there is a great deal you can get, read and see from this site and it is all for free.

He lives in Miami? I thought he lived in LA

--

Drudge actually got his start in LA, posting gossip and news working at a, I think, gift shop. His dad bought him a computer, which he swiftly put to use. Later on he moved to Miami, where he lived in a ritzy hotel/apartment complex. I believe he moved to his own house recently.

Title

The title of a web page appears in search results as the link to that page. Learn more ...

Purpose

The title of a web page appears as a clickable link in search results and bookmarks. A descriptive, compelling home page title with relevant keywords can increase the number of people visiting the site.

Search Engines

Search engines view the text of the title tag as a strong indication of what the page is about. Accurate keywords in the title tag can help the page rank better in search results.

Length

A title tag should have fewer than 70 characters, including spaces. Major search engines won't display more than that.

Content

The title tag of your home page (and any other page on your site) should not contain the site’s domain name or URL. These will appear near the title in search results, so use your 70 characters to tell people what the page is about. The title tag should not contain any HTML, because it will be displayed incorrectly or not at all.

  • Good: This web page has a title tag.
  • Good: The title tag is a good length.
The title of this site's home page:

Meta Description

Search engines often use the meta description of a web page to describe it in search results. Learn more ...

Purpose

The meta description tells searchers what a web page is about. It is often displayed below the title in search results, and helps people decide if they want to visit that website.

Length

Search engines will read 200 to 250 characters, but usually display only 150, including spaces. The first 150 characters of the meta description should contain the most important keywords for that web page. Using fewer than 50 characters could mean you’re not saying enough about the page.

Content

The meta description should be engaging, and should include keywords that accurately reflect what visitors will find on the web page. The keywords should be the same ones that a site's potential customers are using to search. Include a site’s location if it is important.

  • Problem: The meta description is either empty or missing entirely.

H1 Headings

The H1 heading is an important sentence or phrase on a web page that quickly and clearly tells people and search engines what they can expect to find there. Learn more ...

Just one H1

In most cases, a web page should have just one H1 heading. Using multiple H1 headings is okay if that is a logical way to organize the page, but they should be used sparingly. That’s because search engines can view multiple H1 headings as an attempt to signal that all the content on a page is equally important, a tactic that’s seen as an attempt to game the search engine algorithms.

Purpose

Search engines look for an H1 heading to determine what a page is about. Human visitors do, too.

Content and placement

The H1 heading appears on the web page itself, unlike the page title, which people will see mostly in search results.

The H1 tag (which contains the H1 heading) is usually listed first among the other heading tags for a page. None of the major search engines, however, will penalize a site for listing H2 through H6 tags ahead of the H1 tag.

The H1 heading for a page should be different from its title. Each can target different important keywords for better SEO.

  • Problem: This web page does not have an H1 heading. It should have one.

Robots

Your website's robots.txt file can tell search engines to ignore parts of your site. Learn more ...

Purpose

Website owners usually use robots.txt to let search engines know which pages or sections of their site shouldn't be indexed — for example, web contact forms, print versions of web pages and other content that's duplicated elsewhere on the site. Robots.txt can also be used to request that specific robots not index a site. For more information, read How To Use Robots.txt.

Be careful!

If you're going to use robots.txt, be careful not to accidentally exclude search engines from pages you want people to find. To learn more, read Don't Block Search Engine Crawlers.

Search engine robots

You'll need to know the names of specific search engine robots - or "bots" – if you’re going to exclude any or all of them from any part of your site.

  • Google’s bot is called Googlebot. Google is the world’s largest search engine, and is where many people discover new websites.
  • Bing’s bot is called msnbot. Bing also provides search results to people using Yahoo to search the Web. Together, Bing and Yahoo are the second largest search resource, after Google.
  • Baidu’s bot is called Baiduspider. Baidu is a major search engine in China, and the number of people using it is increasing rapidly.
  • AboutUs.org’s bot is called AboutUsBot. To create a Site Report, AboutUs uses crawling technology that’s similar to what search engines use.
  • Good: This website’s robots.txt file is not blocking major search engines from crawling its pages. Your website can appear in any engine’s search results.

Canonical Url

This website can live at www.DrudgeReport.com or DrudgeReport.com. It's best for your site's visibility to live at just one URL, or web address. You'll want to create a 301 redirect to the URL you choose from the other URL. Learn more ...

Choose one or the other

Whichever of these URLs you choose, make sure your website lives ONLY at that location, which is called the canonical URL for your site.

Be careful!

If you choose www.MyWebsite.com for your site, make sure people who don't type www can get to your site, too. Create a permanent 301 redirect from MyWebsite.com to www.MyWebsite.com.

If the same web page exists at two different URLs, people can choose to link to one or the other. Links from other sites to your website are valuable — they tell search engines that your site is important to people. By splitting valuable links between two identical pages, you're diluting the power of those links to help a page rank higher in search results.

  • Problem: Your website resides at both www.DrudgeReport.com and DrudgeReport.com. You should permanently redirect one to the other, using a 301 redirect.
