Have you ever regret
ted e-mailing a message right after clicking the “Send” button? Have you ever addressed an e-mail to the wrong person? Have you ever spotted those typos just seconds too late? If you have, then you must be one of the many who’ve been dreaming of ways to right a wrong send. Well, time to wake up. No need to dream anymore. Thanks to the people at Google, the feature to undo a sent e-mail now does exist… in Gmail, at least.
Admittedly, it’s still not a well-known feature just yet, especially with most users not knowing where to look. So here’s a quick guide to avoid that impending blunder with just the click of a button.
Go to Gmail Labs
Since the “Undo Send” feature is part of Gmail Labs, you’ll have to activate it via the Gmail Labs page. Access your Gmail account and look at the top-right corner of the page. Between your e-mail address and the Settings link, you’ll see the Green Labs icon. Click it.
Enable “Undo Send” and Save
Once in Green Labs, you’ll find a list of Google features currently being tested for Gmail. You’ll usually find the “Undo Send” feature close to the bottom of the list. Just select “Enable” it, then scroll down and save your changes.
Customize Undo Send’s Duration
Go to “Settings” in the top right corner of your main Gmail page (right next to the Green Labs icon) and find the “Undo Send” section under the “General” tab. There you can enable or disable Undo Send and change the duration with a drop-down selection box as pictured below. By default, you’re given 10 seconds within which you may undo a sent e-mail, but you can change that to 5, 20 or 30 seconds.
Write and Send Your E-mail
Now that it’s enabled, “Undo Send” should work each time you send a new e-mail. No need to do anything unusual beforehand to make it possible to use Undo Send with an e-mail.
Click the “Undo” Button After You Send
As soon as you hit Send, text saying “Your message has been sent” will appear above your Inbox. Beside that, you’ll find a few extra options. Among them is “Undo.”
Now should the need arise, you have either 5, 10, 20 or 30 seconds to “Undo” your sent e-mail, depending on what you selected under Settings. You can also hit “Z” on your keyboard, which is the Gmail shortcut for “Undo”.
Just make sure not to navigate away from or close this page, because once you do, you’ll lose the opportunity to undo your sent message… forever.
Undo is done!
If done successfully, text saying “Sending Has Been Undone” will appear above your inbox. You’ll then be taken back to the e-mail composition page, with your e-mail in draft form, unsent and ready for further editing — or deletion, should that be the drastic need necessary.
Voila! You now know how to right that wrong send! Be aware though, that the “Undo Send” feature is still part of Gmail Labs. That means it’s still in testing and it might not always work as intended. But, promising, it is! It is!

Surprisingly, the secret to website visibility is no secret at all: search engines. Millions of people, yourself probably included, use search engines on a daily basis to scour the net for what they want and need. Search engines are also your allies to internet success.
Just having your name as a staple in the results list of relevant searches on Google, Yahoo!, MSN or any other search engines is an achievement in itself. And if you’re on the first page of the search results, consider yourself a winner.
Here are some tips to boost your website visibility:
1. Use descriptive and informative words on each page of your website, focusing on words that relate directly to your product, service or industry.
2. Highlight and feature your most important content first. Remember, organization is key. Be clear, and keep things uncluttered.
3. Link to other relevant sites. The quality and volume of outside sites that link to your own can affect how search engines measure your site’s importance.
4. Create distinct titles for each page of your website. Use these titles as opportunities to reiterate your keywords.
5. Write descriptions that are clear, factual and free of excessive superlatives (i.e. best, cheapest, biggest). Sites that are more fact and less sales talk leave more of a mark.
6. Use your geographic location in your site and make it part of your list of keywords. This is particularly beneficial for products or services that target a certain geographic market.
7. Don’t expect all search engines and online directories to instantly find you. Some directories offer paid submissions that you can benefit from.
This art of making the most ripples on search engines is called search engine optimization or SEO. SEO is all about increasing your online visibility by connecting yourself to the exact keywords to describe what you offer. It is also about organizing your site properly to get the most search engine attention, and building a reputation by getting yourself linked to other reputable sites.
While you can do much of this yourself, why reinvent the wheel? Seek the assistance of companies that specialize in Search Engine Optimization. What are you waiting for? Take the initial steps to boost your visibility with search engines, and watch your traffic and sales grow now!
