How To Rank High On Google In 48 Hours

How To Rank High On Google In 48 Hours

Believe it or not, it’s easy to rank high on the Google search engine in 48 hours. There may be various SEO techniques out there, but here is one that works for me.

Most people who work online must have heard of Alexa. Alexa is a website in which you can find out the traffic ranks of any website in a snapshot. In other words, this gives you a good measure of how much traffic a website is bringing in. Now, which websites will help you get your pages to rank high in Google in 48 hours?

There are many article websites on the web (articlebiz, ezinearticles etc). You can find out the articles that rank the highest simply by searching for article them on google. Simply enter your search keywords (articles sites, article submission etc.) in the Google search engine and click enter. Take a good look at the search results that appear after you enter your keyword or phrase. These articles that show up on the front page are valuable; probably beating millions of other results for that keyword.

Submit your articles to high ranking article websites and your webpages will probably have a better chance of getting near the front page of Google. If you have doubts about website traffic rank, use Alexa. There are other factors that play a role here, but this is one helpful hint to how you can get a better chance of ranking high on Google fast and free.

Here is what I do.
1) Go to Google Adwords Keyword Tool
2) Enter keywords of your subject
3) Find a keyword that has very little competition
4) Use those keywords as your article title(this is crucial). Also include those keywords in your article post a few times(this is also crucial).
5)Go to alexa or google and search article sites. Once you know which sites rank the highest on Google,sign up for those article sites and submit your articles with the same keywords in your title, and the same keywords in your article a few times
6) Submit your article.
After a few days, go to the google search engine and type in those keywords you used. Scroll down the search results to see your article in the first 1-3 pages.
Note that this method works depending on which keywords you use.
Good Luck! Hope that helped!

Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and other social media sites may be the talk of the town, but that does not discount power of the punch that comes packed in the first page ranking in any of the 3 major search engines, particularly Google. Regardless of all the hoopla, traffic from search engine is still the holy grain in 2011. SEO in 2011 is still relevant.

You should, hence, pay a close attention to every word written in this article, as all of them have the capacity to take your dead webpage by its hand and pull it on the first page of Google. Each of the 51 SEO secret tips shared in this article are gold nuggets, which you will not like to slip out of your hand into the dark water of oblivious online market.

And once you have a fair understanding of these SEO secrets, you can either apply these to your business by yourself, or hire a virtual assistant to do the SEO tasks for you.

1. 1. Limit the Use of JavaScript on your page, but when it becomes almost impossible to remove JavaScript from the drop-down menu, image links, or image maps then make sure that you have text links to all those pages at some place on your website. These are the links and not the JavaScript ones which search spiders will follow.
   
2. A lot has been said, read, heard, and proclaimed about PageRank, but it is nothing more than an oft-quoted snippet of the Google search algorithm. It does matter, but not so much to outrank all non-PR pages. Many times a well-optimized page outranks a webpage with high PR in Google SERP. So do not be too fanatical about it.
   
3.  Virtual home of ABC Company Ltd. is not the ideal title tag to go for. You cannot even buy a pint with this kind of title tags, and repeating such tags on all your pages means nothing more than piling up of SEO sins. Make sure you provide a unique keyword-rich title tag to all the web pages in your website.
   
4. If you feel guilty when leaving out your company’s name from the title tag then you can use it towards the end of the title tag preceded by a pipe sign (Keyword-rich Title Tag| Your Company Name).
   
5.  Content, content, content, and content. Do you want me to repeat this some more times to make you understand how important high-quality, keyword-rich, relevant content is for the success of your SEO campaign? High-quality content is the absolute must for SEO — insider news is Google is going to bring a major change in its search algorithm which will push the website with low-quality content down to the bottom, if not flush them at all. So, no more auto blogging for 2011.
   
6. When it comes to building back links, slow and steady wins the race. Build as many backlinks as you can, but go slow. Google can tell from a distance if the links are on dope (artificially built), and do it every day. Google loves continuity, breaking it will mean you are not such a good sport, and no one loves that. Not even Google.
   
7. Do not chase every “link celeb” (backlink), some links are more celebrated then others. Links from authority sites, EDU domain, GOV domains, and high-PR websites are like MJ (Michael Jackson) of backlinking world. Chase them, and let the struggling aspirants (lesser known backlink sources) struggle for their bread.
   
8. Links from within your website will make life easy for search bots, so they always reward the website with better internal linking structure. Do not discount the value of keyword-rich internal linking. It delivers.
   
9. Search spiders are busy people. They keep on scanning millions of pages full of words and phrases, most of which are duplicate and stale. They do not like taste of stale food (content). Provide them fresh and tasty (read relevant) content every day, and they will come to your website for feast. It will mean better ranking for you.
   
10. Google is huge and so is its ego. Do not downplay Google (or even Yahoo! and Bing) by designing a website first and then thinking of search engine optimization. Always think of SEO first then of including any element in your web design. Too many flash and AJAX will strip your website off the opportunity to get indexed. These content are opaque.
    
11. If Flash and/or AJAX are must for your website then you must have new-generation Flash and AJAX, which is not as fortified behind the strong walls as were earlier ones. Google bots now can access these.
    
12. Always remember ALT Tag. This is the only way to make search spiders make sense of those cool graphics on your page. You must attach keyword-rich ALT tag to all the images on your website.
    
13. Use keyword-rich descriptive caption in your image. This plays an important role in getting your image indexed for your keyword.
    
14. Make description tag interesting enough to excite people to click on the link. SEO will not be of much use if the visitors do not click on your result in SERP, and only a compelling description can guarantee that.
15. Do not insert primary keyword more than once in description tag. Use secondary and/or tertiary keywords instead.
    
16. Local search is going to be the next battle ground. If you sever one particular market then include the name of the city in the keyword, for example: San Antonio web design, New York SEO, etc.
    
17. Jumping between using http://, http://www., www., and now-www version of your domain names will dilute your link building effort. Use your domain name consistently when building backlinks to your website. For example, if you have been using http://www.YourDomain.com then stick to that and refrain from using www.YourDomain.com or http://yourdomain.com or http://www.YourDomain.com/index.html in your backlinks. Google consider each of the three above described domain names as separate websites, so consistency is must.
    
18. You must add rel=canonical to your domains or use 301 redirect to tell Google which domain to list.
    
19. Do not use frames. They are quite bad for SEO.
    
20. In SEO, regardless of what self-confessed SEO Gurus say — it includes even those who have just returned from Himalayas (read Google den) — the file extension in an URL doesn’t matter. Use .HTML, .HTM, .PHP, .ASP, or whatever file type you feel is suitable for your website.
    
21. Getting the new website indexed by Google is a tricky affair. Regular submission can take weeks if not months before your website starts appearing in search results. There is a shortcut to get indexed fast and that is to get a backlink from high-quality website.
    
22. Write high-quality press releases and submit it to high PR press release directories. Include relevant links in the release and give 110-140-word gap between two links.
    
23. Article marketing is never dead. It is a great source of getting high PR authority backlink.
    
24. Ride on the popularity of established blogs. Write high-quality guest posts for them, and use your signature to get visitors. And when you do so, make sure that the landing page, page on the other side of the links, are relevant for the readers of that blog. You should also include a subscription box on the landing page to convert visitors into subscribers.
    
25. Quality is always better than quantity. Do not go after thousands of PR0 links, a handful of backlinks from authority websites and PR5+ websites will be enough.
    
26. Add blog to your domain and post new articles/blog posts at least thrice a week. This will give search bots enough fodder to munch on.
    
27. Use your main keyword in all important HTML tags (H1, H2, H3, bold, italic, etc.). But do not over do it. Do not make bold all the instances of a keyword, do it just once.
    
28. Use your primary keyword in the first 50 words of your article. Make sure it comes as early as possible. But keep readability in mind. Stuffing keywords will not give you higher ranking.
    
29. Keep an eye on the bounce rate, and minimize the bounce rate by providing a website with an uncluttered design, clear navigation, and high-quality keyword-focused content.
    
30. Make sure your keyword-rich backlink is surrounded by related terms. The text around your link should be related to the keyword in the anchor text. Her Highness never travels alone. She is always with her folks.
    
31.  Do not go to the hiding, it will make you look a thief. The domain which does not disclose ownership information in WHOIS could be considered SPAM by Google. You should not go for a privacy registration, unless you are someone who wants to stay under cover, come what may.
32.  When using a shared hosting for your website, you must check the neighborhood you are going to live in. A neighborhood (read server) which is shared by proxy spammers and banned websites should be avoided. It will affect your ranking. You may cry innocence, but it will fall on deaf ears.
    
33. Do not just add blog to your domain and write posts, but optimize each one of them with a keyword, may be long-tail ones, if all of the short tailed ones are taken. When doing so do not forget to optimize title tags of each blog post independent of blog’s title tag.
    
34. It sounds stupid, but the speed at which your website loads is one of the 250 factors on which Google ranks a website. Everyone loves agility, even machines (Google bots).
    
35. Another thing that does not look so important but affects ranking immensely is website usability. Make your navigation flatter, and website easy to use, as complicated website does not impress anyone, not even a philosopher or Google.
    
36.  Love grows exponentially when shared freely. What make you think it is not so with link love? The more you will give (link out to other domains) the more you will get (backlinks from good domains), so share your link love.
    
37.  You feel pang of regret for not using that sleek flash or that cool picture on your homepage than make sure that you have text links below it, in below the fold area.
    
38.  Get backlinks from .EDU and .GOV websites for your domain. These are highly esteemed in the eyes of Google, Yahoo!, and Bing, as well as other search engines.
    
39.  Do not go crazy by attaching too many keywords to one page. Do not over-optimize your website, and do not optimize one page for more than one keyword, it will dilute the overall ranking. Focus the content to one single keyword in all your off-page activities.
    
40.  Keep your backlinks natural. Do not use the same anchor text in all the backlinks. It looks so artificial. Let some links go nude, and some have other keywords.
    
41. If you are out fishing for the links than make sure you have good baits. Create attractive linkbaits. You can have a list post like this, an infographic, or a video, or a survey for the linkbait. The better a bait is the higher number of links you will get.
    
42. Optimize your RSS feed content using keyword-rich title tag, and eye-catching description.
    
43. In a blog post, add category keywords and other relevant terms as tags. This will get indexed by Google.
    
44. Create context for links and images on your site. Surround the images and links on your website with content relevant to the ALT tag and caption of the image and anchor text of the link, respectively.
    
45. Add both XML and HTML sitemaps to your website. You must generate XML sitemap to Google, Yahoo!, and Bing.
    
46. Add video to your website, submit it to YouTube, and optimize it with relevant tags and descriptions. Video often appears towards the top of the search result.
    
47. Create documents like PDF, DOC, and PPT files and submit it to free document sharing sites. It will add versatility to your backlinking effort.
    
48. Include strong call-to-action in your meta description tag. You should also ask users to post comments, if you have a blog. This will add fresh content to your website without any extra effort.
    
49.  Install comment to post plug-in for your WordPress blog. This will get your comments indexed as pages, which means more listing in search results.
    
50. Image search is going big on Google, you should, therefore, assist Google bots index all images on your website by enabling “enhanced image search” ion your Google Webmaster Central account.
    
51. If I get to conclude what SEO is in four words than I will say: content, links, popularity, authority. All of them in the given order.
    
52. Useful SEO Tips

When doing SEO always remember that it is not a one-shot process and it takes time before your efforts can start producing results. Hence, you need to have some patience.

Second thing that I would like to tell is about call to action. No matter how well-optimized your website is if there is not a strong and consistent call to action, all your effort will be wasted. You must include a strong call to action in your content.

When done patiently and for a period of time, SEO gives you more result than any pay per click (PPC) campaign can give. And unlike PPC, in SEO there is no additional cost for getting one extra visitor. Once set, SEO does wonder. It produces trustworthy result.

If you've worked with Google in the past you’ll know just how hard it is to rank for Google Places for many searches. It’s also apparent how important Google Places have become – they often take up the top parts of the page for a search term. So even if you rank first for a certain keyword, you could see three to six Google Places ranking above you. The question is, what tricks can you use to secure your spot?

1. Set Up

First of all you have to set up your business page, which can be done by completing your profile on Google Places. All you need is a Google Account which is free and easy to set up, then onto the more interesting stuff.

2. Citations

If you don’t know what a citation is (you should if you’re reading this), it is basically a mention of your business on another site. As close as you can get to the exact match of your Google Places listing the better. So if you have your link, description, contact information or anything else, make sure it matches to your Google Places page. This will also help your organic rankings as well – it serves a dual purpose.

3. Get Listed

This is important to get the best citations. They can come from pages such as Yahoo, Superpages, Insiderpages, Angie’s List and many more, but these are the ones that are regarded as giving you the most juice. This will allow you to give Google all the relevant information about your business. You will want to make sure that your details are comprehensive because filling out as many fields as possible can really help with your rankings for all different kinds of search phrases.

4. Make Sure of the Accuracy of your citations

You will need to go back and check that all your existing citations are correct, as well as the ones you are getting listed – there is no point in getting listed with the wrong information. Make sure your citations have accurate names, addresses and the correct phone numbers. It has even been thought that providing a physical address can help your placing. It is important to ensure that your website details are correct but more importantly that the data on your website is correct and the same as these citations.

5. Build more local links

Not simply the general SEO link building back to your site, but more local links that mention your business name, address, phone number and URL. As with normal SEO you can include them in forms of social media and posts, but it would be beneficial to get these links from other sites such as bloggers, business sites and directories because they act as a sort of review.

6. Reviews

Now onto reviews and as hinted above, reviews are strong links that show trust. Reviews are important to both getting the citation indexed and ranked highly in Google as well as propelling the Google Places listing. You will want to get as many reviews as you possibly can on as many different sites as you can, this will help a lot in improving your ranking. You can get people to review by encouraging customers and suppliers to do it, or by securing mutual agreement reviews from businesses in the same industry to help get the review ball rolling.

7. Make updates to your places page

Just by changing the main areas of your Google Places page, you can create a jump in rankings. You don’t have to edit the images and videos, but in my experience, just by editing the description and related areas can make a difference.

Everybody wants to make their site into Google Top 10. So they do all sort of SEO and listen to tips and techniques of SEO firms and professionals. The problem with this approach is that they do make changes to the site design and structure as and when they get the SEO tips. This is not a correct approach.

If you want to make your site into Google Top 10, then you need to follow some standard SEO techniques that not only increase your SERP but also enhance your web Page Rank. By consistently, following these Search Engine Optimization SEO Tips you look natural and your site skyrockets into Google Top 10.

Keyword Research:

Conduct an effective keyword research. Do not go for most searched keyword. As it is involves a strong competition, stay away from such competitive keywords. Always opt for long tail keywords as they have low competition and are more targeted. Keyword research is the most difficult step in the development of site. So you need to be through and effective. Get the help of Keyword Research SEO Tools and ease your things.

Unique Content:

Do not copy the content from other sites. Use your own language and get unique content. Make it more refreshing and interesting to the visitors. This will help you to get more traffic and thus into Google Top 10.

Submit Site To Directories:

Even though there is a controversy going on the submission to paid directories, Google like the paid directories like Yahoo Directory. Make sure that you read the guidelines before submitting the site to the directories especially DMOZ which increases your Google Top 10 ranking like anything.

Article Submission:

Write articles about your subject and submit them to the SEO friendly article directories like Ezine, GoArticles etc. They are really a great source to build your link popularity. If your article is great informative, then many of the webmasters will use that article and link back to your site.

Add Refreshing Content:

Blogging is a very effective tool to add refreshing content to the site. Google loves the sites which are constantly updated with refreshing content. So the visitors come back again and again as they expect more authoritative and un-biased information from you.

Promote Site Online & Offline:

Do not think that offline promotion is a time waste process. But always have a blend of online and offline promotion methods. All the promotion activities should look natural. Whether it is Google or any other search engine, they all love to be natural.

Learn About Search Engine Optimization SEO: As I said you earlier, you do need to implement all the SEO tips and techniques learnt. But make sure that you are always competent with SEO methods. This will help you to decide what is best and what is worst for your site. Always make sure that you ease SEO work by using the recommended SEO software. This will ensure that you complete the repetitive and automated things in less time and thereby spend your time effectively.    

Step 1: Understand the Business Model
My first goal when considering a new contract is to get a good understanding of a company's business - how they earn revenue, what their current sales look like, how they get leads through the web, etc. We always sign an NDA first, then typically spend an exploratory 15-45 minutes on the phone together. I need to know how their sales process operates online if I'm going to help, and there are plenty of times when this conversation will end with a referral, oftentimes because I'm not comfortable working with what essentially turns out to be an affiliate marketer, or because I think we won't be able to provide a high level of value.

Step 2: Give them My Honest Opinion
Either during the exploratory phone call, or after I've spent some time investigating their site, their competition and the industry I'll share my take on a potential partnership. This is the start of what I'd call "the pitch" - I explain to them where I see opportunity, return on investment, weaknesses in the search results and tactics that other companies have failed to exploit. Oftentimes, I'll lay out a strategy or give specific ideas - ads to buy, places to get links, articles or blogs to write, etc. I find that the more I ideas I generate over the phone, the more excited the client is about the possibilities. It runs both ways, actually - if I'm pumped up about a project and see lots of room to improve and gain market share, I usually start running through ideas one after the other in a swell of passionate SEO-marketing-speak. It sounds corny, but I think that people get really engaged when they can tell you're excited about making them money.

The flip side of this is when my opinion runs counter to their hopes. Sometimes, even once we've progressed to this level of dialogue, I'll let the client know that I think they're flatlining. In some cases, I tell them they need to get some business strategy advice before they can make an online success, and in other cases I talk to them about starting from scratch - building a new site with new content foci and a new way of selling their products or services. Many times, these become our biggest clients (6 figures+).

Step 3: Hammer out a Rough Proposal
With almost every client who doesn't have a very specific need (like a day of on-site training or a block of ten consulting hours), I offer to send them an email with a list of tasks we'll perform, an outline of the timeframe for delivery and a cost schedule. It might look something like this:

Deliverables:

• Keyword Research Report
• Site Review Report
• Competitive Analysis Report
• Analytics Recommendations Report
• On-Site Training

Pricing & Schedule:

• Total Contract Price: $50,000
• Contract Period: 3 months
• Day 1 - Contract Signing - $15,000
• Day 30 - Delivery of Keyword Research & Competitive Analysis Report - $15,000
• Day 60 - Delivery of Site Review & Analytics Recommendations - $10,000
• On-Site Visit and Training (between delivery of site review & end of contract, schedules permitting)
• Day 90 - $10,000

I send this to the client via email and they send me something back - either a full approval or modifications to make it fit with their needs/budget/timeframe.

Step 4: References
Between 1/4 and 1/3 of our new clients request references, either direct names and contact information of people they can speak to about our work, or just the list of companies we've done work for. This is one of the most frustrating parts of my job, because although we have a good number of clients who are happy to give referrals, more than 75% of our clients don't allow us to reveal their names publicly or let people know that we've done work for them. Fully half of these private few don't even allow us to mention them privately to potential clients under NDA. Grrrrrr.... I'm literally considering offering a 10-15% discount for clients who agree to have us publicize our work for them.

Step 5: Legal & Payment
Luckily, this is the part of the process I can distance myself from. Once the client and I have agreed to the contract's general terms, I hand it over to Gillian, who constructs the formal contract, works with the client's legal team to put the finishing touches in place and sets up payment systems. We don't have payment terms, per se, but our contracts are strict about ensuring that the payment must take place for work to continue, so we don't run into situations where we're working without payment.

If this all sounds too easy, that's because it really is. We are incredibly lucky to have a high profile and high demand for our services. Several years ago, we pitched contracts and RFPs just like any other firm and it was ugly. Competing on price, sweating over details, being bullied into taking a loss and walking away from a signed document with a queasy feeling was all too regular. It's one of the reasons we're taking steps now to insure we have additional streams of income outside the client services model - I never want to return to those dark days.

Creating an online store is a process that may seem mysterious and complicated when you first look at it. This guide will help to simplify the process and get you selling in no time. If you want to use WordPress to manage your e-commerce operation, then we’ll take you there from start to finish.
There are two ways to sell on your website. The quickest way is to add a “Buy Now” button, which is linked to your account with PayPal or another payment processer. The transaction will then take place at the payment processor’s website and not on your own.
The second way to sell on your website is to use your payment gateway’s API to process transactions directly on your website. This means that when the customer checks out, everything happens on your website. This is preferable to the customer getting redirected to another site for the purchase. It’s this second process that we’re going to focus on in this tutorial. So let’s take the guesswork out of it and walk through the four main elements that you will need for an effective e-commerce setup.

1. Merchant Account

A merchant account is a type of bank account that allows your business to accept payments by debit or credit cards. This is not your own business bank account. You will need to acquire a merchant account. You may be able to get one through your bank, but sometimes this isn’t easy for a small business. More than likely you will need to go through an intermediary for an internet merchant account. When selecting a merchant account provider, you’ll want to research and compare fees among them, make sure they offer a guarantee, as well quality support and policies that suit your business’ needs.

2. Payment Gateway

A payment gateway is an e-commerce service that authorizes payments for online businesses. It handles the technical part of the transaction processing, similar to the way a physical POS (point-of-sale) terminal would do so onsite for a retailer.
Some merchant accounts come complete with their own payment gateways. However, the gateways may not be compatible with your shopping cart, so you’ll need to make sure that you’re not getting set up with some obscure gateway that no cart will support. Also, you don’t have to use your merchant account provider’s gateway. You can select one on your own. You are probably safest selecting from one of the most widely-used gateways, such as PayPal, Authorize.net, Google Checkout, 2CheckOut, or Amazon Payments.
We can’t necessarily recommend which would be best for you because each business will have different needs and varying volumes of transaction. However, we can offer a few tips to help you with the selection process.

Tips for Selecting a Payment Gateway:

• Easy to Integrate with WordPress – Do a little research to make sure that your payment gateway will be easy to set up with WordPress. It’s helpful to already know which plugin you’ll be working with to provide your shopping cart, as you’ll need your gateway to be supported by the shopping cart you use.
• Performance and Reliability – You’ll want to choose a payment gateway that is known for rock solid reliability, as you don’t want their service to go down when your customers are trying to make purchases.
• Security -Your customer’s information must be safe with the gateway that is processing your credit cards. Therefore, you want to make sure that the provider follows industry standards for encryption and security protocols.
• Support – Select a payment gateway that is known for providing excellent support, because it will be taking a percentage of your sales. Make sure that they will be able to answer any of your questions and swiftly handle support issues if anything goes wrong.

3. SSL Certificate

SSL stands for “Secure Socket Layer”. SSL certificates are used to confirm the identity of a website or server, encrypt data during transmission, and ensure the integrity of transmitted data.
If you’re processing transactions on your website, you will need to have an SSL Certificate. Ordinarily, this is something that you obtain from your host. If you do not purchase it from your host, you can usually get your hosting provider to install the certificate for you. For most sites, an SSL certificate will generally be in the range of $20 to $80 a year, depending on your needs.

4. Shopping Cart

WordPress has many shopping cart plugins and the one you choose will depend on the complexity of the functionality your store requires and what gateway you intend to use to process your payments. You have many to choose from in both the free and premium categories and I suggest that you make a checklist of everything you’re hoping for your cart to do before settling on a plugin.

What to Look For in a WordPress Shopping Cart Plugin

• Updated for the latest version of WordPress – This is important for security reasons as well as a sign that there is an active development community surrounding the plugin to continue to improve it.
• Ease of Implementation – If you’re setting up your store yourself, then you’ll want a shopping cart plugin that is basically plug and play, unless you have decent experience with PHP.
• Payment Gateways Supported – You will either choose your cart based on what payment gateway you’re planning to use or choose your gateway based on what your cart supports. In either scenario, you’ll want to verify which gateways are supported.
• Design of the Cart – If the shopping cart you select is very unattractive right out of the box, then you’ll need to spend a lot of time theming it and it will take you more time to get off the ground.
• Documentation and Professional Support -You’ll want to select a cart that has decent documentation and support for customizations you want to add now and in the future. While your store may be a simple setup at first, you want the ability to expand as necessary.

Conclusion:

The bottom line is that if you have a website dedicated to selling online and you don’t accept credit cards, then you’re losing massive amounts of business and opportunities to further brand your products and services.
Certainly, the ease of simply adding a “Buy Now” button that redirects you to an offsite payment gateway is probably much less time consuming to set up. However, in this scenario you will lose your ability to keep your branding consistent throughout the purchasing process. Why sacrifice your traffic for a little convenience? This is your website and you want it to be as professional and effective a tool as possible. If you put a a little more effort into how your online store is set up, you’ll have total branding control over your transactions, as well as the ability to steer and retain your customers.

Anita passed away in 2003, and we created the Anita Borg Memorial Scholarship in 2004 to honor her memory. Anita's legacy lives on today through this scholarship and the organization she created, which has since been re-named the Anita Borg Institute for Women in Technology. This year they'd like to recognize and congratulate the 65 Google Anita Borg Memorial scholars and the 82 Google Anita Borg Memorial finalists, all of whom attend universities in the United States, Canada, Europe, the Middle East or Africa. These students will attend the annual Google Scholars Retreat this summer, where they will have the opportunity to attend tech talks on Google products, network with other scholars and participate in social activities. Students from the U.S. and Canada will attend the retreat in Mountain View, Calif., and students from Europe, the Middle East and Africa will attend the retreat in Zurich, Switzerland.
