The road has been bumpy this year for Ghacks, with an accidental drop in traffic thanks to a change in Google&#8217;s search engine algorithm in June, and a recovery in October. The wait time until the recovery was something that I do not want to experience again.</p><p>This showed me however that I need to diversify my Internet portfolio even further to limit the damage such a drop can cause. Ghacks is back in full strength after the recovery and I have all intentions to keep it that way.</p><p>What are my plans for the next year?</p><p>I want the site to grow organically, and add more &#8220;permanent&#8221; content like the <a
href="http://www.ghacks.net/2010/12/20/microsoft-windows-update-overview-all-you-need-to-know/">Windows Update</a> or <a
href="http://www.ghacks.net/2010/12/23/mozilla-firefox-web-browser-all-you-need-to-know/">Firefox</a> article which are five to ten times the usual size of articles here at Ghacks.</p><p>I plan to continue working on Ghacks and publish my 3-5 articles every day. That along with continued support from writers such as Jack or Mike will keep the content fresh and you, my dear readers, happy.</p><p>But it is not only what I want, it is also about what you want. I would like to know what your expectations are for the coming year.</p><p>What would you like to see? Should we cover a topic that we have not so far? Drop a topic? Add more articles about in a specific niche? Add or remove static contents? Add new features, functions or widgets to the site? Let me know everything that comes to your mind, even if it sounds silly.</p><p>I&#8217;d like to know what you have in mind so that I can collect and think about it. There are of course a few things that I cannot change. The ads for instance or some page elements that are important for SEO. I could however create a donators account for instance which would remove ads from the site for donators.</p><p>Let me know what you think, and thanks in advance for your input.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.ghacks.net/2010/12/25/post-your-suggestions-regarding-ghacks/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>30</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Google Sets</title><link>http://www.ghacks.net/2009/08/05/google-sets/</link> <comments>http://www.ghacks.net/2009/08/05/google-sets/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Wed, 05 Aug 2009 17:45:52 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Martin Brinkmann</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Google]]></category> <category><![CDATA[create sets]]></category> <category><![CDATA[google labs]]></category> <category><![CDATA[google sets]]></category> <category><![CDATA[suggestions]]></category> <guid

This can be a useful feature to explore a subject in greater detail and to find additional related terms. A mundane example would be to enter Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7 as the example items. The set that is returned after entering these three terms will consist of other Microsoft operating systems mainly but also other related terms such as Linux or software.</p><p>Up to five examples can be entered by the user to define the topic of the set. A few examples are provided on the website including colors, newspapers, movies, locations and many more.</p><p><span

Many different websites are for instance provided in the set if you enter a handful of popular ones. The user can select between a small and large set. A small set will provide up to 15 results while a large set can easily provide 30 or more results.</p><p><img

It does have its applications on the other hand and those that would like to explore sets can use the tool to create them easily.</p><p><strong>Update:</strong> Google Sets has been discontinued. The service is no longer available.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.ghacks.net/2009/08/05/google-sets/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>1</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
