I am building a question and answering site by myself.
I want to make this site indexed as a Q&A site or Forums by Google, which can be retrieved when using the "Discussions" in Google. In my personal experience, Google Discussion Search is a pretty useful function when I want to get others' real opinions or experience.
However, I have no any idea on that how Google determine one site as Q&A/Forum or one page as Q&A/Forum page. I searched a lot on Google, but there is little related information discussing this issue. Do you have any idea or reference on that?
Thanks!
Best,
Jing
Use richsnippets and make Google recognizing your traffic by using Webmaster tools or Analytics . Use a sitemap.xml to invite for revisit and fast indexing, disable archiving (f.e. Google Cache) with meta-robots noarchive. If you have high traffic and fast content building, search-engines will then recognize by themselves.

I am undecided whether to use a Content Manangement System ( wordpress, drupal, joomla ) to build my own classified ads website like olx.com or craiglsit.
Is it good to make a it using a CMS
Or should I just hard code it on my own?
assuming I have good programming skills.
The best is to see which achieve the most of what you want out-of-the-box, which reduces how much you have to tweak / code.
Wordpress is more for a blog so avoid that one. Joomla provides a good framework, but would require quite a lot of coding to extend.
A quick google says that classified ads-specific Content Management Systems do exist, eg http://www.opensourcecms.com/scripts/details.php?scriptid=345
Personally, I'd look into these.
Wordpress can be used to create a very good classified Ads Website. Here's an article that shows how to create a classifieds web site using wordpress.
Talking about wordpress. It is misunderstood that Wordpress can only be used for blogging..It is not true. Here's an article that shows alternative uses of WordPress other than blogging

How can I convert my website into different language, for ex I want to translate it into Russian. It is a commercial website, i cant use google translate. How can I do it please guide me. Thanks
I Don't think for such a scenario you can use any automatic translator tools available as none of them can render a perfect translation. Your best bet is to get a translator and create a separate version of the website.
I was wondering by the way, is that a c# question? :)
There are many articles in codeproject that can help you achieve this, refer to this, this, this, this and several others. Try searching ASP.NET Globalization or ASP.NET Culture in google and stackoverflow, you'll find several articles and posts. Of course, nothing beats the old fashion way of translating ;) I agree with MSI and Christopher, hiring a translator is the best solution to your problem (that's what we did for our website). Cheers.
Hire a translator. If you want a quality product, it really is that simple.

Can anyone recommend any cloud based alternatives too SharePoint? I have seen a couple good ones on sites like www.sharepointalternative.com and www.topsharepointalternatives.com but does anyone have experience of ones they have used before?
We are a small company of 16 people but are looking to expand to around 30 by the end of the year and so should be easily scalable. We would need to be able to easily share and edit files and have a version control.
It also has to work as an internal and external portal as we want to share with clients as well as internally.
Check out http://www.alfresco.com/. We tried it, but it was not a good solution for us since we have hundreds of users and our groups needed many sub-sites with their own permissions.
google apps for sure!
http://www.ilovefreesoftware.com/09/articles/sharepoint-vs-google-apps.html
It's free up until 20 users I believe. So you can easily try it out without extra costs and than pay a little if you expand enough
CMSWire has a great list of Sharepoint Alternatives. Glasscubes seems to be the most viable alternative for what you are looking for, however I have zero experience with it.

Say if I register a domain and have developed it into a complete website. From where and how Googlebot knows that the new domain is up? Does it always start with the domain registry?
If it starts with the registry, does that mean that anyone can have complete access to the registry's database? Thanks for any insight.
Google will find your website on its own if some existing website has a link to it.
You can jump-start the process: http://www.google.com/addurl/.
You may also be interested in Google's Webmaster Tools.
Google needs to find you. That is, if there is no link to your site from another web site, it'll never find it.
Google finds pages to crawl as links from other pages. If no site links to your site, Google will likely never find it.
You should look at the google website. They have some good information here. They even have a link to add your site to their list to crawl.
Google works purely (sort of) on pagerank, which accounts for its success. If nobody cares about your site, nor do Google.
Usually I submit new domain directly to Google, I found out it takes less time for Google crwaler to find out about it rather than waiting for Googelbot to parse some link to the new domain in some other websites: http://www.google.com/addurl/
Another way is to create a free Webmaster Tools account on Google and add the new domain/website there (maybe also with a sitemap), this will take to Goggle even less time to crawl your domain and get it indexed.
As far as I know the registry's informations of a domain for most domains are public, you can read them by using a simple whois service.

I am investigating the feasibility of setting up a discussion forum / message board in my company to enable knowledge sharing etc.
What are the steps involved in implementing such a solution?
I would definitely recommend a Wiki - we've used Mindtouch internally for a number of years and have also posted all of our documentation externally on a wiki.
The steps will depend on what technology you already have in place and what kind of shop you are. If you have SharePoint (WSS 3.0 or MOSS 2007), then you already have blog, wiki and discussion group functionality built in. Not the best in the world, but it's there.
A shop that uses more open source tools is less likely to find SharePoint compelling. ;-)
Instead of (or maybe in addition to) a discussion forum, I would recommend a wiki server. This way you can have different howtos, lists, documentation, etc available and the important things will tend to stay up to date. We have one in our department and it is quite useful (if only people would log in when editing...).
I was not involved in setting it up, so I cannot give any details on that, but it is based on mediawiki.
