What would you prefer, Google Plus invite or Facebook video calling? If you ask this question to anyone, the unequal response is known to us all. It will be Google+
It has not been launched yet. Nonetheless it is being talked about in very positive words and everyone seems to be smitten by it. So are we closer to yet another great product from Google, the search and advertising czar.
Google started off as a search engine. Initially it tried to find ways to satisfy its investors about its viability and its ability to generate fund and make profit. But when it discovered the moneymaking ability through its small adds on every other page on the internet, everything else fell in line.
Now it is the biggest advertisement agency along with being the largest search engine with close to sixty five percent of the search engine market across the world.
For the last two years there has been increased talk of Facebook overtaking Google not just in its reach but business as well. Facebook at one point of time was increasing its membership at menacing speed.
But now things are changing. Even before Google Plus became a talking point, there were reports that Facebook membership in its key markets in Europe and USA was declining. In the last few months alone Facebook lost close to 16 million users in the US market. And mind you, US market is financially most important market in websphere followed by Europe.
Now with Google Plus, facebook is now facing an existential threat from the internet giant that has killed many big time players in websphere. Yahoo, Hotmail, MSN just to name a few were among the top players. But they don’t remain at the same level any more.
So is it the turn of Facebook to face the onslaught from Google with Google Plus? During the more than a week it seems that everyone has been smitten by Google plus and its affiliates including Hangouts, circles besides other Google Plus adages.

+ The --exclude and --excludefile now support IPV6 addresses with
netmasks. [Colin]
o Scanme.Nmap.Org (the system anyone is allowed to scan for testing
purposes) is now dual-stacked (has an IPv6 address as well as IPv4)
so you can scan it during IPv6 testing. We also added a DNS record
for ScanmeV6.nmap.org which is IPv6-only. See
http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2011/q2/428. [Fyodor]
o The Nmap.Org website as well as sister sites Insecure.Org,
SecLists.Org, and SecTools.Org all have working IPv6 addresses now
(dual stacked). [Fyodor]
o Nmap now determines the filesystem location it is being run from and
that path is now included early in the search path for data files
(such as nmap-services). This reduces the likelihood of needing to
specify --datadir or getting data files from a different version of
Nmap installed on the system. For full details, see
http://nmap.org/book/data-files-replacing-data-files.html. Thanks
to Solar Designer for implementation advice. [David]
o Created a page on our SecWiki for collecting Nmap script ideas! If
you have a good idea, post it to the incoming section of the page.
Or if you're in a script writing mood but don't know what to write,
come here for inspiration: https://secwiki.org/w/Nmap_Script_Ideas.
o The development pace has greatly increased because Google (again)
sponsored a 7 full-time college and graduate student programmer
interns this summer as part of their Summer of Code program!
Thanks, Google Open Source Department! We're delighted to introduce
the team: http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2011/q2/312
o [NSE] Added 7 new protocol libraries, bringing the total to 66. You
can read about them all at http://nmap.org/nsedoc/. Here are the new
ones (authors listed in brackets):
+ creds: Handles storage and retrieval of discovered credentials
(such as passwords discovered by brute force scripts). [Patrik
Karlsson]
+ ncp: A tiny implementation of Novell Netware Core Protocol
(NCP). [Patrik Karlsson]
+ omp2: OpenVAS Management Protocol (OMP) version 2 support. [Henri
Doreau]
+ sip: Supports a limited subset of SIP commands and
methods. [Patrik Karlsson]
+ smtp: Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) operations. [Djalal
Harouni]
+ srvloc: A relatively small implementation of the Service Location
Protocol. [Patrik Karlsson]
+ tftp: Implements a minimal TFTP server. It is used in
snmp-ios-config to obtain router config files.[Patrik Karlsson]
o Improved Nmap's service/version detection database by adding:
+ Apple iPhoto (DPAP) protocol probe [Patrik]
+ Zend Java Bridge probe [Michael Schierl]
+ BackOrifice probe [Gorjan Petrovski]
+ GKrellM probe [Toni Ruotto]
+ Signature improvements for a wide variety of services (we now have
7,375 signatures)
o [NSE] ssh-hostkey now additionally has a postrule that prints hosts
found during the scan which share the same hostkey. [Henri Doreau]
o [NSE] Added 300+ new signatures to http-enum which look for admin
directories, JBoss, Tomcat, TikiWiki, Majordomo2, MS SQL, WordPress,
and more. [Paulino]
o Made the final IP address space assignment update as all available
IPv4 address blocks have now been allocated to the regional
registries. Our random IP generation (-iR) logic now only excludes
the various reserved blocks. Thanks to Kris for years of regular
updates to this function!
o [NSE] Replaced http-trace with a new more effective version. [Paulino]
o Performed some output cleanup work to remove unimportant status
lines so that it is easier to find the good stuff! [David]
o [Zenmap] now properly kills Nmap scan subprocess when you cancel a
scan or quit Zenmap on Windows. [Shinnok]
o [NSE] Banned scripts from being in both the "default" and
"intrusive" categories. We did this by removing dhcp-discover and
dns-zone-transfer from the set of scripts run by default (leaving
them "intrusive"), and reclassifying dns-recursion, ftp-bounce,
http-open-proxy, and socks-open-proxy as "safe" rather than
"intrusive" (keeping them in the "default" set).
o [NSE] Added a credential storage library (creds.lua) and modified
the brute library and scripts to make use of it. [Patrik]
o [Ncat] Created a portable version of ncat.exe that you can just drop
onto Microsoft Windows systems without having to run any installer
or copy over extra library files. See the Ncat page
(http://nmap.org/ncat/) for binary downloads and a link to build
instructions. [Shinnok]
o Fix a segmentation fault which could occur when running Nmap on
various Android-based phones. The problem related to NULL being
passed to freeaddrinfo(). [David, Vlatko Kosturjak]
o [NSE] The host.bin_ip and host.bin_ip_src entries now also work with
16-byte IPv6 addresses. [David]
o [Ncat] Updated the ca-bundle.crt list of trusted certificate
authority certificates. [David]
o [NSE] Fixed a bug in the SMB Authentication library which could
prevent concurrently running scripts with valid credentials from
logging in. [Chris Woodbury]
o [NSE] Re-worked http-form-brute.nse to better autodetect form
fields, allow brute force attempts where only the password (no
username) is needed, follow HTTP redirects, and better detect
incorrect login attempts. [Patrik, Daniel Miller]
o [Zenmap] Changed the "slow comprehensive scan" profile's NSE script
selection from "all" to "default or (discovery and safe)"
categories. Except for testing and debugging, "--script all" is
rarely desirable.
o [NSE] Added the stdnse.silent_require method which is used for
library requires that you know might fail (e.g. "openssl" fails if
Nmap was compiled without that library). If these libraries are
called with silent_require and fail to load, the script will cease
running but the user won't be presented with ugly failure messages
as would happen with a normal require. [Patrick Donnelly]
o [Ncat] ncat now listens on both localhost and ::1 when you run ncat
-l. It works as before if you specify -4 or -6 or a specific
address. [Colin Rice]
o [Zenmap] Fixed a bug in topology mapper which caused endpoints
behind firewalls to sometimes show up in the wrong place (see
http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2011/q2/733). [Colin Rice]
o [Zenmap] If you scan a system twice, any open ports from the first
scan which are closed in the 2nd will be properly marked as
closed. [Colin Rice].
o [Zenmap] Fixed an error that could cause a crash ("TypeError: an
integer is required") if a sort column in the ports table was unset.
[David]
o [Ndiff] Added nmaprun element information (Nmap version, scan date,
etc.) to the diff. Also, the Nmap banner with version number and
data is now only printed if there were other differences in the
scan. [Daniel Miller, David, Dr. Jesus]
o [NSE] Added nmap.get_interface and nmap.get_interface_info functions
so scripts can access characteristics of the scanning interface.
Removed nmap.get_interface_link. [Djalal]
o Fixed an overflow in scan elapsed time display that caused negative
times to be printed after about 25 days. [Daniel Miller]
o Updated nmap-rpc from the master list, now maintained by IANA.
[Daniel Miller, David]
o [Zenmap] Fixed a bug in the option parser: -sN (null scan) was
interpreted as -sn (no port scan). This was reported by
Shitaneddine. [David]
o [Ndiff] Fixed the Mac OS X packages to use the correct path for
Python: /usr/bin/python instead of /opt/local/bin/python. The bug
was reported by Wellington Castello. [David]
o Removed the -sR (RPC scan) option--it is now an alias for -sV
(version scan), which always does RPC scan when an rpcinfo service
is detected.
o [NSE] Improved the ms-sql scripts and library in several ways:
- Improved version detection and server discovery
- Added support for named pipes, integrated authentication, and
connecting to instances by name or port
- Improved script and library stability and documentation.
[Patrik Karlsson, Chris Woodbury]
o [NSE] Fixed http.validate_options when handling a cookie table.
[Sebastian Prengel]
o Added a Service Tags UDP probe for port 6481/udp. [David]
o [NSE] Enabled firewalk.nse to automatically find the gateways at
which probes are dropped and fixed various bugs. [Henri Doreau]
o [Zenmap] Worked around a pycairo bug that prevented saving the
topology graphic as PNG on Windows: "Error Saving Snapshot:
Surface.write_to_png takes one argument which must be a filename
(str), file object, or a file-like object which has a 'write' method
(like StringIO)". The problem was reported by Alex Kah. [David]
o The -V and --version options now show the platform Nmap was compiled
on, which features are compiled in, the version numbers of libraries
it is linked against, and whether the libraries are the ones that
come with Nmap or the operating system. [Ambarisha B., David]
o Fixed some inconsistencies in nmap-os-db reported by Xavier Sudre
from netVigilance.
o The Nmap Win32 uninstaller now properly deletes nping.exe. [Fyodor]
o [NSE] Added a shortport.ssl function which can be used as a script
portrule to match SSL services. It is similar in concept to our
existing shortport.http. [David]
o Set up the RPM build to use the compat-glibc and compat-gcc-34-c++
packages (on CentOS 5.3) to resolve a report of Nmap failing to run
on old versions of Glibc. [David]
o We no longer support Nmap on versions of Windows earlier than XP
SP2. Even Microsoft no longer supports Windows versions that old.
But if you must use Nmap on such systems anyway, please see
https://secwiki.org/w/Nmap_On_Old_Windows_Releases.
o There were hundreds of other little bug fixes and improvements
(especially to NSE scripts). See the SVN logs for revisions 22,274
through 24,460 for details.

o [NSE] ssh-hostkey now additionally has a postrule that prints hosts
found during the scan which share the same hostkey. [Henri Doreau]
o [NSE] Added 300+ new signatures to http-enum which look for admin
directories, JBoss, Tomcat, TikiWiki, Majordomo2, MS SQL, WordPress,
and more. [Paulino]
o Made the final IP address space assignment update as all available
IPv4 address blocks have now been allocated to the regional
registries. Our random IP generation (-iR) logic now only excludes
the various reserved blocks. Thanks to Kris for years of regular
updates to this function!
o [NSE] Replaced http-trace with a new more effective version. [Paulino]
o Performed some output cleanup work to remove unimportant status
lines so that it is easier to find the good stuff! [David]
o [Zenmap] now properly kills Nmap scan subprocess when you cancel a
scan or quit Zenmap on Windows. [Shinnok]
o [NSE] Banned scripts from being in both the "default" and
"intrusive" categories. We did this by removing dhcp-discover and
dns-zone-transfer from the set of scripts run by default (leaving
them "intrusive"), and reclassifying dns-recursion, ftp-bounce,
http-open-proxy, and socks-open-proxy as "safe" rather than
"intrusive" (keeping them in the "default" set).
o [NSE] Added a credential storage library (creds.lua) and modified
the brute library and scripts to make use of it. [Patrik]
o [Ncat] Created a portable version of ncat.exe that you can just drop
onto Microsoft Windows systems without having to run any installer
or copy over extra library files. See the Ncat page
(http://nmap.org/ncat/) for binary downloads and a link to build
instructions. [Shinnok]
o Fix a segmentation fault which could occur when running Nmap on
various Android-based phones. The problem related to NULL being
passed to freeaddrinfo(). [David, Vlatko Kosturjak]
o [NSE] The host.bin_ip and host.bin_ip_src entries now also work with
16-byte IPv6 addresses. [David]
o [Ncat] Updated the ca-bundle.crt list of trusted certificate
authority certificates. [David]
o [NSE] Fixed a bug in the SMB Authentication library which could
prevent concurrently running scripts with valid credentials from
logging in. [Chris Woodbury]
o [NSE] Re-worked http-form-brute.nse to better autodetect form
fields, allow brute force attempts where only the password (no
username) is needed, follow HTTP redirects, and better detect
incorrect login attempts. [Patrik, Daniel Miller]
o [Zenmap] Changed the "slow comprehensive scan" profile's NSE script
selection from "all" to "default or (discovery and safe)"
categories. Except for testing and debugging, "--script all" is
rarely desirable.
o [NSE] Added the stdnse.silent_require method which is used for
library requires that you know might fail (e.g. "openssl" fails if
Nmap was compiled without that library). If these libraries are
called with silent_require and fail to load, the script will cease
running but the user won't be presented with ugly failure messages
as would happen with a normal require. [Patrick Donnelly]
o [Ncat] ncat now listens on both localhost and ::1 when you run ncat
-l. It works as before if you specify -4 or -6 or a specific
address. [Colin Rice]
o [Zenmap] Fixed a bug in topology mapper which caused endpoints
behind firewalls to sometimes show up in the wrong place (see
http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2011/q2/733). [Colin Rice]
o [Zenmap] If you scan a system twice, any open ports from the first
scan which are closed in the 2nd will be properly marked as
closed. [Colin Rice].
o [Zenmap] Fixed an error that could cause a crash ("TypeError: an
integer is required") if a sort column in the ports table was unset.
[David]
o [Ndiff] Added nmaprun element information (Nmap version, scan date,
etc.) to the diff. Also, the Nmap banner with version number and
data is now only printed if there were other differences in the
scan. [Daniel Miller, David, Dr. Jesus]
o [NSE] Added nmap.get_interface and nmap.get_interface_info functions
so scripts can access characteristics of the scanning interface.
Removed nmap.get_interface_link. [Djalal]
o Fixed an overflow in scan elapsed time display that caused negative
times to be printed after about 25 days. [Daniel Miller]
o Updated nmap-rpc from the master list, now maintained by IANA.
[Daniel Miller, David]
o [Zenmap] Fixed a bug in the option parser: -sN (null scan) was
interpreted as -sn (no port scan). This was reported by
Shitaneddine. [David]
o [Ndiff] Fixed the Mac OS X packages to use the correct path for
Python: /usr/bin/python instead of /opt/local/bin/python. The bug
was reported by Wellington Castello. [David]
o Removed the -sR (RPC scan) option--it is now an alias for -sV
(version scan), which always does RPC scan when an rpcinfo service
is detected.
o [NSE] Improved the ms-sql scripts and library in several ways:
- Improved version detection and server discovery
- Added support for named pipes, integrated authentication, and
connecting to instances by name or port
- Improved script and library stability and documentation.
[Patrik Karlsson, Chris Woodbury]
o [NSE] Fixed http.validate_options when handling a cookie table.
[Sebastian Prengel]
o Added a Service Tags UDP probe for port 6481/udp. [David]
o [NSE] Enabled firewalk.nse to automatically find the gateways at
which probes are dropped and fixed various bugs. [Henri Doreau]
o [Zenmap] Worked around a pycairo bug that prevented saving the
topology graphic as PNG on Windows: "Error Saving Snapshot:
Surface.write_to_png takes one argument which must be a filename
(str), file object, or a file-like object which has a 'write' method
(like StringIO)". The problem was reported by Alex Kah. [David]
o The -V and --version options now show the platform Nmap was compiled
on, which features are compiled in, the version numbers of libraries
it is linked against, and whether the libraries are the ones that
come with Nmap or the operating system. [Ambarisha B., David]
o Fixed some inconsistencies in nmap-os-db reported by Xavier Sudre
from netVigilance.
o The Nmap Win32 uninstaller now properly deletes nping.exe. [Fyodor]
o [NSE] Added a shortport.ssl function which can be used as a script
portrule to match SSL services. It is similar in concept to our
existing shortport.http. [David]
o Set up the RPM build to use the compat-glibc and compat-gcc-34-c++
packages (on CentOS 5.3) to resolve a report of Nmap failing to run
on old versions of Glibc. [David]
o We no longer support Nmap on versions of Windows earlier than XP
SP2. Even Microsoft no longer supports Windows versions that old.
But if you must use Nmap on such systems anyway, please see
https://secwiki.org/w/Nmap_On_Old_Windows_Releases.
o There were hundreds of other little bug fixes and improvements
(especially to NSE scripts). See the SVN logs for revisions 22,274
through 24,460 for details.

Linked In Confirms Data Breach, Here's What You Can Do !
Phishers are coming out of the woodwork trying to bait panicked or otherwise unsuspecting LinkedIn users into supposedly 'confirming' their account, but what they're really doing is hijacking login credentials. They're also compounding the situation, whereby LinkedIn has now confirmed it suffered a data breach in which encrypted user passwords were compromised. Here's what you should do.
First and foremost, log into LinkedIn by typing the site's address directly into your browser and change your password. Don't click on any links in emails, even if they appear to be legit, which some of them do. It's unclear whether or not LinkedIn has begun notifying its members of the data breach via email, but according to security firm ESET, plenty of legitimate looking phishing emails are making the rounds.
The next thing you should do is change your password on any other site that uses the same login credentials. You should be using different passwords for different sites anyway, but if not, now's a great time to get into the habit of separating your online accounts.
According to reports, around 6.5 million LinkedIn passwords fell into malicious hands, so there's a good chance yours is one of them. If you want to know for sure, LastPass has an online tool that will compare the SHA-1 hash of your password with those that have been compromised. But is it safe to fork over your LinkedIn password to LastPass?
"The above tool asks you to enter your LinkedIn password, and then computes its SHA-1 hash and sends the result to LastPass.com to search the list of 6.5 million leaked password hashes. A hash is a mathematical function that is simple to perform in one direction, but very difficult to reverse. Meaning, the tool will convert your password into a series of characters in such a way that it will be very difficult to re-construct your original password," LastPass explains.
LastPass says that only the hash of your password is sent to LastPass.com's servers, not your actual password. And according to Mashable, LastPass doesn't store your hash on its servers. Still, if you're feeling uneasy, go ahead and change your LinkedIn password regardless.

World IPv6 Launch Gives Crowded Internet Much Needed Breathing Room !
If you're reading this, you must be online, and if you're online, let us say 'Welcome to a larger Internet.' Today kicks off theWorld IPv6 Launch event organized by the Internet Society and intended to bring major internet service providers (ISPs), home networking equipment manufacturers, and web companies around the world together to enable and embrace the IPv6 protocol for their products and services.
Count Google among them. As the sultan of search points out, few could have imagined that the Internet today would serve nearly 2.5 billion people and 11 billion devices when it was launched operationally back in 1983. But that's what happened, and suddenly the Internet is running out of addresses.
As constructed, there's room for around 4.3 billion addresses. Internet Protocol version 6 expands that number exponentially, to "about 340 trillion, trillion, trillion!," Google says.
"Today's World IPv6 Launch, coordinated by the Internet Society, marks the day that participating websites, Internet Service Providers (ISP), and network hardware manufacturers switch on IPv6 permanently in parallel with IPv4," Google said in a blog post. "We’re proud to be one of the founding participants; virtually all Google’s services have been available over IPv6 for a while, but IPv6 access was only available to networks participating in the 'Google over IPv6' program. From now on, they will be made available to any IPv6 network on the Internet (well, almost any).
IPv6 still has a ways to go in terms of widespread adoption. Most ISPs haven't embraced the new standard yet, and the same is true for many websites. Not all home network equipment supports IPv6 either, though some can be upgraded with a relatively simple firmware updates. Others will need to be replaced entirely.
Are you ready? If you want to test your setup and infrastructure, head here.

Dell Launches Inspiron 14z Ultrabook, 'Fashionable' Inspiron 15R and 17R Laptops !
The very last thing in the world students heading out into summer vacation want to think about right now is the fact they'll have to go back to school in a few months. Parents, however, know the back-to-school season is coming, and they're the ones Dell is pitching its "tailored line-up of Inspiron laptops" to, including Dell's first Inspiron Ultrabook model, the 14z.
Dell's 14z rolls off the lot with a Core i3 processor, though you can upgrade to a Core i5 or Core i7 Ivy Bridge processor before driving it home. It's only Dell's second Ultrabook model, joining the XPS 13, and it sports a brushed aluminum finish in Moon Silver or (later this summer) Fire Red. A baseline build weighs 4.12 pounds and measures 0.83 inches at its chunkiest point. And if that's too big, Dell also announced a 13-inch version (13z) that weighs 3.81 pounds. Pricing starts at $700 for the 14z and $600 for the 13z.
In addition to Ultrabooks, Dell today rolled out new Inspiron 15R and 17R laptops with high definition displays and a variety of processor, memory, and storage options. They also feature optional color SWITCH lids, Intel Wireless Display technology, and Waves MaxxAudio 3 sound processing. Special Edition versions up the ante with Full HD displays, Blu-ray options, Skullcandy speakers, and Nvidia graphics options (17R). Pricing starts at $550 for the 15R ($900 for the Special Edition) and $600 for the 17R ($1,300 for Special Edition).

The Art of Deception {TOP HACKING BOOK EVER} MUST DOWNLOAD !
Kevin Mitnick's exploits as a cyber-desperado and fugitive from one of the most exhaustive FBI manhunts in history have spawned dozens of articles, books, films, and documentaries. Since his release from federal prison in 2000, Mitnick has turned his life around and established himself as one of the most sought-after computer security experts worldwide. Now, in The Art Of Deception, the world's most famous hacker gives new meaning to the old adage, "It takes a thief to catch a thief."
Inviting you into the complex mind of the hacker, Mitnick provides realistic scenarios of cons, swindles, and social engineering attacks on business - and the consequences. Focusing on the human factors involved with information security, Mitnick explains why all the firewalls and encryption protocols in the world will never be enough to stop a savvy grifter intent on rifling a corporate database or an irate employee determined to crash a system. He illustrates just how susceptible even the most locked-down information systems are to a determined con artist impersonating an IRS agent or any other seemingly innocent character. Narrated from the points of view of both the attacker and the victim,
The Art Of Deception explores why each attack was so successful - and how it could have been averted - in an engaging and highly readable manner reminiscent of a true-crime novel.
Most importantly, Mitnick redeems his former life of crime by providing specific guidelines for developing protocols, training programs, and manuals to ensure that a company's sophisticated technical security investment will not be for naught. He shares his advice for preventing security vulnerability in the hope that people will be mindfully on guard for an attack from the gravest risk of all - human nature.

Mozilla Firefox 13 Hits Release Channel, Brings New Homepage and Tabs !
The latest and greatest version of Mozilla's Firefox web browser -- Firefox 13 -- doesn't alter the browser scene with earth shaking innovation or groundbreaking feature additions, nor have we come to expect such gargantuan leaps in browser development since Mozilla swithced to a rapid release schedule. That said, there is a new version of Firefox on the Release channel, and here's what it brings to the table.
First and foremost, Firefox's new default homepage offers quicker access to bookmarks, history, settings, and more. The other notable change has to do with tabs. When opening a new tab, Firefox presents users with their most visited pages.
Other than those two additions, Mozilla mainly just sprinkled in a few changes to how the browser behaves and resolved a bunch of bugs, as it usually does with each new Firefox release. Restored background tabs are no longer loaded by default, a move intended to speed up the startup process, and smooth scrolling is now enabled by default. On the developer side, Mozilla said it made 72 total improvements to Page Inspector, HTML panel, Style Inspector, Scratchpad, and Style Editor.
The complete list of changes is here, and you can download the latest Firefox release here.
How to get your website ranked on search engines | Amit Khajuria
There are many factors involved in getting your website ranking on search engines. Below are some key things to take into consideration, and we hope that it will help you to increase traffic on your blog website or forum :)
Anchor text
The anchor text of inbound links coming to your website is very important as search engines use this to determine what your site is about and what it should rank well for. Your anchor text should be your keywords that you want your website to rank for. For example, instead of using your company name or your website URL for inbound links, consider using keywords as your anchor text.
Use keywords in your title tag and other meta tags
Meta tags still have an impact on where your website will rank on search engines. The weight of the meta tags may be minimal, but it is still recommended that you choose keywords relevant to each webpage. It is an effective way for search engines to categorise your webpages and gives search engine spiders an idea of what your webpage is about.
Links to your website
The largest factor that influences search engine rankings is the number and quality of links that are pointing to your website. The more quality links that you have coming to your website, search engines will think your website has authority.
Keyword use in the root domain
Although it's possible to use subdomain or dedicated pages to get your keywords in a URL, nothing beats having your keywords in your domain name. For example, goldcoastaccommodation.com.au.
Apply the proper tags to your page
This means using H1, H2, and H3 tags in your headings and sub-headings.
Include a html sitemap and an xml sitemap on your website
Including a sitemap on your website makes it easy for search engine spiders to access all your webpages and index your site accordingly.
Make sure all images have an ALT text
Your image alt text is read by search engine spiders, so make sure you include keywords in your alt text. Label your images properly too, for example, instead of calling it bedroom.jpg, call it melbourne-accommodation-1-bedroom-apartments.jpg.
