Rankings Data:
As like all of the Mozilla Editor Project the complete framework for improving the World Wide Web is unique and been designed and created after 4-1/2 years of deep thought, trials and tribulations and the strict Intellectual Property rights and trademarks of the Founder. But the of icons, buttons and programming scripts will shortly be made available under license for search engine owners and webmasters both personal and commercial sites. To bring some further cohesion in relation to diminish misleading content and fraudulent opportunists. The rankings data is based on 14 framework elements that cannot be explained in a few words. But to summarize, design, domains, valid html, css, IP addresses, descriptions, titles, grammar, traffic and content to mention a few are all part of the rankings module.
