wise guy [slang] - අපි සමහර වෙලාවට කියන්නේ "මිනිහා හරි පණ්ඩිතයෙක්", ඒ කියන්නේ ඔහු හරි නුවණක්කාරයෙක් කියන එක නෙමෙයි අර ඕනවට වඩා උදුම්මගෙන ඉන්න එක හරි ඊට සමාන දේවල් කරන කෙනාට කියන්නේ. අන්න ඒකම තමයි මෙයිනුත් කියන්නේ. ඒ වගේම අනුන් සම්බන්ධයෙන් නිරතුරුවම සමච්චලයට කථා කරන අයටත් මෙය යොදා ගන්න පුළුවන් (a smart aleck; one who makes a lot of
sarcastic comments
)

man of the hour - මෙයින් පවසන්නේ ඒ අවස්ථාවේ, හෝ ආසන්නම මොහොතේ වඩාත් අවධානය දිනා ගත් තැනැත්තා පිළිබදවයි.
1. A man in whose honor a gathering is held.
2. A man who is currently an object of public attention.

  4. Usually, a brand new website takes about six months to one year to appear in the SERPs of Google, assuming the service provider is worth their salt.
    ''. You can then take a hard look at the companies that come up for that
    particular keyword. While you’re at it, remove all
    or fix 404 errors. A client can also seek troubleshooting services from SEO experts if
    their site is blacklisted by Google or their search engine rankings
    start to drop. The major preference is for offshore SEO companies as they offer SEO at the most
    competitive prices. The tips are as follows:-. There are many
    tools online to help you research relevant keywords, such as the Google
    Adwords Keyword Tool. It focuses on networking and impeccable website maintenance.

    So, most move slowly when deciding on who becomes the company's SEO. If the comments are created for solely promotional purposes, they will probably get deleted. Their success is based on how many sales and customers you bring. An SEO strategy should combine a number of elements that work together to get results for you.

You will not even get to a 1 or 2 until Google has fully crawled your website or blog enough to give it a ranking.
