Buddies! I am going to put my conversation with enjoyable quotation. Some one has written reality in a handsome approach.

“There are three ways of destroying yourself, Women, Gambling and Technology. Women are the prettiest, Gambling is the fastest and Technology is the surest.”

Admittedly this topic is outdated by the approximate time margin of a century, but not necessarily in the business context of our country where the concept, magnitude and need automation is about getting where it should be. Automation is essence refers to the process of digitizing the business data and processes. However, in the modern interpretation, a technological update can also be categorized as a part of an on going automation procedure. Let me state here that a personal computer carrying all the financial transaction records, other essential data and processes of a business, with no parallel system or backup is a recipe for disasters as opposed to automation. The present business world does not approve of effectively communicate with the conventional paper-based office. For effective interaction with the external trades and to be able to capitalize upon the opportunities existing in the world, it is imperative for all business to take the digital path. As it stands even in our country, the taxation system is gradually being digitized, though currently only at the corporate-level.

The actual debate is how to go about adopting the digital highway. Buying an out of the box solution, installing it on a Personal Computer (PC) / network and to start working on it from the next day is hardly the path to office automation in the current century. If the data server crashes or in case of catastrophic event (fire for instance), there can potentially be full or partial data loss; unless a proper data backup was made at another physical location. For the last few years, we are witnessing serious power outages, smaller business with lower affordability matrix tend to lose operational time on computers during those lengthy outages abs subsequently realizes that automation means a significant and constant increase in operational cost, both obvious and hidden. Periodic upgrades of hardware, network components, operating system, software and communication system/devices, coupled with relevant technical staff are the major components. Also, there comes a time when conventional upgrades to the system are no longer enough and a complete revamp is required. Hidden cost to any system includes those measures which are assumed as default. Particular type or make of hardware, special methodology of communication, constant increase in data storage capacity are few of those factors.

Choice of the appropriate solution is necessary. A few questions that need to be considered are what is the current number of users? What is the magnitude of the data transfer? What is the precedence order for systems to be digitized? What are the access levels? What executive reports are required? What is the communication model and policy? If proper plans are devised, most automation hiccups can be avoided. The choice of an existing product or a tailor-made solution can be made in the light of relevant procedural data. The old system must run in parallel with the new system until the users are comfortable with the interface.

Data security is perhaps the most sensitive issue. Depending upon the frequency of transactions and the size of single data entity, it is imperative to devise and effective data backup methodology to avoid any costly mishap. Most mature information technology departments opt for the classical approach of periodic regular data backups, additionally those backups should be at a remote site for extra security. One of the bigger problems, however, is when the new system fails to communicate with the legacy or existing system. Integration, if required, has to be planned ahead of actual implementation. It is; however, always best to choose systems compliant with the existing ones.

Automation is no longer a choice in the contemporary world. Business enhancement is only possible through digital ways of processing and communication. At the same time, blind adoption of untested or non-complaint technology can only bring about undesirable eventualities which can only be avoided by careful planning and embracing not the latest solution, but the best suitable solution.

As long as this standard is kept mind, automated, machine determined processes should not fall into the disrepute of being inhuman, even though it really is.

Thanks for your great time. keep firm your self with SeoSheen

Let’s establish it simple: www.dmoz.org

Now, if I am blessed, you moreover didn’t hit it off the link or you did but you came back here to read my article. Also way, how could you add your website by using some technical ways? You want to know why is the Open Directory Project so important for your website and Google.

One of the most trusted, authoritative links a website can have comes from a listing in the DMOZ directory. Not only does a DMOZ listing tell search engines that your site has passed the quality standards of a rigorous editorial review, it also gives you a link form one of the oldest and important directories on the planet. And, you even get automatically listed in the Google Directory.

Of course, getting listed in DMOZ is easier said than done. The typical DMOZ submission goes something like this – you visit the directory and click suggests URL. You fill out the form, read the Submission Agreement, and click the Submit button. “That was easy “, you think, as you pat your self on the back for a job well done.

Then nothing happens.

Unfortunately, a listing in the Open Directory is notoriously difficult to come by. Because each category is human-edited, you must wait for that human editor to check their ODP editor page, see that you have submitted your site, take the time to mosey on over to your web site and give it a good once cover, then decide that your sites does indeed belong in their category.

This process alone (assuming the editor decides to include your site at all) can take months. It can take even longer if the editor rejects your site or moves your site suggestion off to another category.

However, if you understand how DMOZ works, you will find there are many little known ways to practically guarantee your site will be listed quickly, without lots of waiting or fears of rejection.

The truth is, the reason so many people get their sites rejected by DMOZ is simple…..

They are going about it completely backwards!!! :)

Instead of just passively submitting your homepage to your preferred category and sitting back to hope you get in, you should be actively searching out areas of DMOZ that are under-populated and desperately need content, then creating pages on your site custom-tailored to be perfect resources for those categories.

When analyzing your site, think beyond the homepage. Ever notice that some sites have dozens or even hundreds of listing in DMOZ? CNN has listed 230,016 times, last I checked.

Most people make the mistake of submitting their homepage to DMOZ, when your chances of being accepted are much better if you find and understand under-served category, write a page specifically designed for that category, and submit that page. From the perspective of building trusted links to your site that is just as good getting your homepage listed and you can do it multiple times for several pages on your site.

It’s perfectly within reason to select a category in the directory, and then develop content on your site so that it matches that category. In fact ODP editors encourage this.

Let’s have a look on details:

Your first option in getting your site listed in DMOZ is of course, to simply submit it. But , as I have said, submission to DMOZ is often a hit-or-miss scenario if you do it wrong. Here are few suggestions to help you in your mission:

  • 1st, choose your category. Look around at other sites in DMOZ and pick a category that is perfect fit for your site. Submitting to the wrong category is going to cause your site to either get shuffles around from editor to simply dropped altogether.

Once you have found your category, click Suggest URL at the top of the page. If your don’t see the link to suggest your site, then that category is no longer accepting new listing. You will need to find another category.

Remember that the ODP prides itself on being a true resource for its user, and as such it takes great pains in providing relevant and well organized listings. This means that your site must appear in its appropriate category. However, there is a bit of wiggle room.

Let’s say, for example, your site sells diamonds. You would want to be listed in Shopping/ Jewelry/diamond, but this category is pretty full (200 listings currently). Chances are pretty slim that you will get in.

Check out the related categories instead, for example

Shopping/ Jewelry/diamonds/ brokers (with 6 listings) or Shopping/ Jewelry/diamonds/ fancy diamond (with 4 listing) can your site fit here?

Also notice that these categories have no editors (categories with editors have those editors listed at the bottom of the page, category with no editors usually have a Volunteer to edit this category link at the bottom of the page). That can mean a really long wait, or it may be an excellent opportunity (I‘ll cover this in more detail in a minute).

Also try poking around a bit in the rest of the directory. If you added in formation pages on gemstones, for example, could you fit in the Science/Earth Science/ Geology / Rocks / Gemstones category? OR what about directing some effort into arts and crafts so you can submit to the Arts/Crafts/Jewelry/Gemstones category? Be creative and don’t be afraid to add some new content to your site so you can submit to a less populated category.

  • Next, make sure your site is in the tip-top shape before you submit it. Clean up all the broken links, make sure all your images load successfully, and get rid of any shady SEO tricks (like hidden links or keywords stuffing) you may have experimented with in the past.

Also, make sure your site adds something of value to the category. Try thinking of it this way: if you were the editor of this category, would you add your site? Or would you think to yourself, “Nice site, but I already have a listing like this one so I think I‘ll pass”. Hire some one to write some new information pages for you if you have to, but make sure your site offers unique, interesting content that the ODP editor will want to send users to.

  • Finally, fill out that submission form like you are applying for college! No misspellings, no mistakes. ODP editors don’t take kindly to sloppiness. Be sure to check out other directory listings and compose your title and description as close to the standard as possible. You want it to be as easy as pie for the editor of your chosen category to just accept your listing.

Let’s say you have submitted your site over and over and still haven’t heard a peep out of the editor. May be its time you became an editor yourself! (That‘ll show ‘em). Being an ODP editor means your will have “behind the scenes” access to the directory, but it isn’t easy. Here is how you will need to go about it:

  • Join “Resource Zone”, the ODP’s public forum. Start a conversation with the editors in your prospective category and established a little name reorganization with them. Present yourself as an expert. This can be a great way to suggest a new category and then of course, apply to edit it. When your application shows up, chances are more better that they will remember and kind to you.
  • Find a small category that has no editor. Again, you can tell if a category has an editor by scrolling to the bottom of the page. The editor’s user name is listed after Category Editor. If there us no editor, you will see Volunteer to edit this category.

These un-edited categories are usually overseen by some high-level editor (an editor with privileges beyond their own category) and are other mostly abandoned. Sometimes, though the high-level editor may not have their name on the category, but they still edit it (and cherish it) as if it were their own. You are probably not going to get that category.

What you are looking for is a neglected and available category. You can tell if a category is neglected by the number and quality of its listing and by its “special features”. Special features are a FAQ section, the category’s description, or a personalized Mozilla icon at the bottom of the category page. When you look at the bottom right hand side of the page you want to edit, do you see a little sprinting dragon?

That is the default icon for every category. If it is there then chances are no one’s paying attention to this category.

The fact is, editors love to spruce up their category by tending to these special features (its like planting a pretty garden in front of your well-kept house). As you can imagine, its just too much fun and way to easy for editors to personalize with a specialized Mozilla icon.

  • Find out your editors application carefully. Like I said earlier, no misspellings and no mistakes! J. They will want you to suggest three URLs on your application, too. Take careful consideration in the URLs you choose- be sure you choose sites that would benefit the directory.

You‘ll also want to make sure that your titles and descriptions meet ODP standards. Remember, if you are accepted, the three sites you suggest on your application will be the first three sites you‘ll add.

  • list all your web affiliations. This is where many applications lose- you submit your application, the editor says they think it is great, but you don’t list all of the sites with which you are affiliated. You may be confused at first, but a quick check of your name in Google , Yahoo and Windows live shows that many sites (with which you are certainly not affiliated) list your name.

Before submitting your application, search for your name in the major engine. Any articles you have written that have since been syndicated will show up. So will forums you have participated in or blogs you have guest written for you. And don’t forger mistaken identities- you may not be the only Bill Smith out there. Be sure to explain all of these affiliation identities on your application.

  • Finally, expect rejection. It seems that the ODP editors enjoy turning down editor applications, at least a few time, before they accept them. Save your application in a text file so you can try again. Think of this as DMOZ’s process of weeding out those who really want to be editors from those who are just looking for an easy way to get their sit listed

Once you are an editor, you will want to get you site into DMOZ. First and for-most, Be honest about it! If you want to keep your position as editor and if you don’t want your site permanently banned, don’t try to slip your site into your new category on the sly, especially if your sire does not really fit into your new category. As a new editor, you are being watched. Closely. Someone will notice this and list yourself as a trustworthy editor. After a couple of months of diligent editing try one of two options

  1. If your site matches your category, submit your site along with an editor’s note explaining why you added your own site. You may even want to talk to one of the high-level editors about your decision to add your own site.
  2. if your site does not match your category, submit it to a different category. Now that you are an editor, you can submit sites under your editor username. These suggestions have higher priority and should get faster attention. Again, be open about that this is your personal site.

Let’s Conclude To ODP Or Not To ODP??

A listing in DMOZ really is all its cracked up to be- there is a reason why it’s some times called the Holy Grail of SEO. And being an ODP editor really is as fun as we make it sound. Sure the pay is non-existent, but maintaining a perfect category really is quite rewarding in itself. That’s why I don’t accept all of the sites that knock on our door- I only want the good ones and I think you buddies also.

Hopefully these suggestions will demystify the acceptance process and help you get that often-sought-after-but-rarely-attained DMOZ listing. If not, oh well, those editors are just a bunch of snobs anyway ;)

PageRank is an obsession for many new SEOs. It has probably become the single most talked-about, over-analyzed, lusted-after aspect in all of search engine optimization. This is bit ironic. While PageRank is important to understand as a general concept, it actually plays a fairly minor role in determining how high your pages will rank

The PageRank algorithm (named after Larry Page, one of the founders of Google) calculates, or “ranks”, the mathematical probability that someone randomly surfing the Internet will land on a given webpage.

PageRank is one way for Google to determine how important a webpage is. How ever, PageRank is merely a relative measure of a web page’s popularity, and does not take into account other ranking factors, such as the keyword searches a page will be found for.

A page with a high PageRank than your competition does NOT mean that you will outrank them in Google search results. Simply doing a Google search for just about any query will show you many cases where a PageRank 2 page is outranking 6 pages (or other similar situations)

The other problem with PageRank is that anyone can create a high PageRank as long as they have access to other high PageRank pages. For example, we could immediately create a PageRank 5 or 6 pages about dog food tomorrow simply because we have the ability to link to it from one of our PageRank 7 pages on one of our other SEO sites reality

Does this mean that our dog food page should instantly jump to the top search results simply because it got a link from a high PageRank page about search optimization? Of course not! That doesn’t help Google produce relevant search results

For this reasons, PageRank has faded in importance as Google has incorporated more advanced ranking algorithms to account for PageRank inherent shortcomings.

So if PageRank is no longer the primary factor that determines your pages rank in Google, why do so many people still consider it to be so important?

The main reason is that PageRank is fun, and its fairly easy to understand. Anyone can download the Google toolbar and watch the little green PageRank indicator tick up as they add link to their site. By letting anyone easily see the web page ranking in terms of PageRank, even when their search rank is really due to more complicated ranking factors. PageRank is a brilliant marketing move by Google, but really plays a small role in terms of where your webpages will actually rank in the Google search results.

NOTE:

Keep in mind that, while the Google Toolbar PageRank can be entertaining, it is very likely not the same as the PageRank Google is actually using as part of its ranking algorithm. Aside from that billions of webpages would be nearly impossible to rank according to a scale of 1 -10, Google tends to not update the Toolbar PageRank for longs periods at a stretch

However, you can still get a rough idea of how your pages is doing by using the toolbar, but bear in mind that the PageRank updates within the toolbar may be few and far between. Also remember that if your pages are listed in Google’s index and seem to be ranking well, then you can also be fairly certain that Google sees them as having a decent PageRank regardless of what the toolbar indicates.

There have been many cases where the Google toolbar has indicated that a well-ranked page has PageRank zero. In the case of newly indexed pages, this tells us that Google just hasn’t gotten around to updating the toolbar yet and by monitoring these pages we know that they aren’t in a hurry to do so.

However, should one of your pages that previously enjoyed high PR suddenly drop to PageRank zero, then that can spell trouble –and indicates that the pages has been assessed a serious penalty for violating one of their guide lines.

Thus PageRank and the Google toolbar do have a role to play in SEO. While PageRank says nothing about how highly a page will rank in the search results. Be cautioned, however, that PageRank is only a rough approximation, and there are several other factors to take into account when deciding whether or not you want a link from a page. Such factors include the site’s popularity and reputation within its industry, how similar in topic the site is to your own, and the overall quality of the site itself. PageRank is not the final determine of link quality, and if a site is a well-known and highly regarded authority in your field then it’s going to be good place to get a link from, regardless of its PageRank

Google has stated that PageRank is more an indication of how deeply a site will be crawled and indexed. Low PageRank pages are less likely to be included in Google’s index. Here’s a direct quote from Google engineer Matt Cutts:

“One of the classic crawling strategies that Google has used is the amount of PageRank on your pages. So just because your site has been around for a couple years (or that you submit a sitemap), that does not mean that we‘ll automatically crawl every page on your site. In general, getting good quality links would probably help us know to crawl your site more deeply”

For this reason it’s important to have a basic understanding of how PageRank works. From Google’s technology page:

“PageRank relies on the uniquely democratic nature of the web by using its vast link structure as an indicator of an individual page’s value. In essence, Google interprets a link from page A to page B as vote, by page A, for page B.

But Google looks at more than the sheer volume of votes, or links a page receives; it also analyzes the page that casts the vote. Votes cast by pages that are themselves “important” weigh more heavily and help to make other pages “important”. Important high-quality sites receive a higher PageRank, which Google remembers each time it conducts a search. Ofcourse, important pages mean nothing to you if they don’t match your query. So, Google combines PageRank with sophisticated text matching techniques to find pages that are both important and relevant to your search. Google goes far beyond the number of times a term appears on a page and examines all aspects of the page’s content (and the content of the pages linking to it) to determine if it’s a good match of your query”

Each page has a finite amount of PageRank it can use to “vote” for other pages. If your page links to other page, then it gives that page 100% of its vote. However, if your page links to ten other pages then each of those pages gets 10% of your page’s vote. This “vote dilution” effect is one reason why you want to get links from page than have as few links on them as possible.

If you get a link from a typical “links page” that has thousand other links on it, you are only getting 1/1000th of the PageRank boost from that page, so the link is hardly worth it.

If you are interested in the technical details, you can read more about PageRank in the original paper by Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin:

http://infolab.stanford.edu/~backrub/Google.html

Because each webpage only has a finite amount of PageRank it can use to distribute to other pages, this has caused many SEOs to be concerned about their pages “leaking” PageRank by linking to other pages. This, in turn, has led to the SEOs being reluctant to link to other pages for fear that they might be damaging the PageRank of their own page. This is incorrect for several reasons.

1st, PageRank is like time, you can’t lose it; you can only spend it. The question is – where should you choose to spend it? If you are linking to someone else’s page, you are giving them PageRank that you could be giving to one of your own pages.

For example, lets say you have a page with PageRank 5. if that page had a single link that went to your homepage, then your homepage would receive the full benefit of that PageRank 5. However, if your PageRank 5 page also linked to someone else’s site, then PageRank would be split and your homepage would get only half of the PageRank it would receive otherwise.

Fear of PageRank leakage causes some SEOs to only link to pages on their own site, so that they can maximize the PageRank they distribute to their own pages and prevent any from leaking in the form of links to pages on other sites. If they do link to other sites, they use a variety of tricks to hide those links from Google.

My feeling is that PageRank leaks are not as much of a problem as much of a problem as most people seem to think. You can still easily focus your site’s PageRank on your home page by seeing to it that every page on your site links back to your home page. Most sites do this anyway and it certainly isn’t difficult to do.

Using tricks to hoard all of your site’s PageRank is likely to backfire on you in the long run. Sites that become aware that you are using these tricks will realize that links from your site are worthless in term of PageRank, and will respond by refusing to link back to your site.

If a site is good enough to link to, then they have earned that PageRank, either because they‘ve paid for it, they are reciprocating with a link of their own, or they are just providing great content. Earning a reputation as someone who is depriving them of the PageRank in that link is likely to eventually hurt your own ability to accumulate incoming links.

It helps to understand that Google places less emphasis on inbound links that originate from outside domain. Obsessing over the manipulation of internal PageRank flow within your site is much less productive than simply acquiring links from outside domain sources.

Buddies!!! All we know very well; Computer technology revolutionizes quickly. It’s a fact every one wants to get pleasure from latest technology. To avail it, every one runs to the next-door shop to acquire a new computer with latest technology. No issue what economic rank you comprise, you are not let off from having to take part of this formal procedure. Sadly, if you’re on a tense account, you have to deem the decision of buying a new computer since it will encompass a greater consequence on you economically. Since Vista was released, a lot of people make a decision to pay for a new computer for the reason that the operating system is obsolete and they needed to upgrade in any case. It’s time to look at vital information for anyone who is in this situation of tight budget and want to get pleasure from Vista’s state of art graphics.

Windows vista provides the user with a multitude of options, which makes the user experience worthwhile. When switching to Vista many users need to upgrade their systems. However, there also exists a better and more powerful solution to change the operating system environment. Upgrading your personal computer (PC) from versions of windows to the latest can be a major headache. Even though, upgrading seems the better option, on closer inspection on might find it as its own fair share of problems.

Namely, when a user upgrades his /her PC to the latest operating system he /she is pretty much stuck with the same obsolete hardware that were previously being utilized. Infact, after upgrading the PC one’s problem is intensified since; the new operating system will frequently cause decreases in efficiency due to the faulty hardware. Incompatibility issues will arise and one will have to seek a better solution.

A better option is available when considering renewing operating systems on migration. One is able to migrate user accounts and program settings from their own computers running an outdated Windows XP to a new computer running the latest Windows Vista. This can be easily achieved using Windows Easy Transfer facility. Such migrations can also be used to transfer from older Windows (98/2000) to Windows XP as well.

One has to start Windows Easy Transfer by clicking on the start menu on the lower left corner of the screen. There should be a search box. Just type “easy” in the search box. The Windows Easy Transfer will start after hitting the ‘enter’ key. One should bear in mind that the Windows Easy Transfer program can easily be located using the system tools under the accessories option as well. Then, the computer will prompt the user with a message User Account Control (UAC).

Now, click ‘continue’ so that the program starts running. Click next and choose the option to start the next transfer. There should be two options available:

  • Start a new transfer
  • Continue a transfer in progress

The user should select the first option. Again two options will appear on the screen. Select “this is my new computer” option. This is because Vista is out target machine. After having gone this far, another message will be displayed on the screen, which will prompt the user to allow easy transfer to work over the network. This will be start the Windows Easy Transfer program. The transfer then begins between the two computers. User will presented with two options here. If you have a UCB cable then select the 1st option otherwise, if you would like the transfer to take place over the network, then select the 2nd one.

One should remember that user accounts and the file settings are being transferred between the source computer, which is the one running Windows XP, and a target computer, running Windows Vista. Bear in mind that Windows XP does not have a Windows Easy Transfer option. Therefore, a wizard will appear on the screen prompting the user to install the proceeding further. The user must now select the option affirming the installation of the Windows Easy Transfer. After performing all aforementioned steps, one should now proceed further.

Next, the user must select a Shared Network Folder option. After doing so both the source and target computers will now be able to share Setup Files for Easy Transfer,

Specify the path where these setup files are located. In order for transfer to take place, the user will be asked to provide a password. Since there is no password allocated to the user, one should select the option which prompts the computer to provide a password to the user. The computer provides the user with a unique key and the transfer begins from the source computer. The user should next click the option to “directly transfer” all the data from the source PC.

Now, the transferring process is almost completed. All the user has to do is specify what to transfer. The computer then informs the user of what is being transferred. After all these procedures have been adhered to, the user can go over to his/her target PC and check all that has been transferred so that none of the data has been overlooked. The user will also be prompted to confirm all that has been transferred. And that is how one can safely migrate to his/ her favourite operating system on Windows Platform without disturbing budget.

On the other hand, if you be capable of manage to pay for the expense; by all means go for the upgrade, have fun, and enjoy J

Like most of the hardware technology, the term ‘overclocking’ also seems to exude it own enigmatic aura. If you are a regular computer user, you probably will not delve so deep in to the bowels of Central Processor Unit (CPU) to get acquainted with the concept. Conversely, if you are a geek, then acquiring expertise in overclocking is one of the major requisites that you are to fulfill, if you wish to uphold your position as a respectable member of the geek community. If you are a novice user, then you should just know what the term signifies to satisfy your curiosity.

Simple defines, overclocking means running a device at a speed faster than it is recommended. Hardware enthusiasts overclock their CU and lately, their graphics card as well. It is basically an attempt to increase the performance of your Personal Computer (PC) by either getting low-end components to run at higher speed or by getting high-end components to run at even higher speeds than originally specified, think of it is as getting extra mileage out of your clunkering jalopy. Your car can easily achieve a speed of 60 km/hr. Driving your car at higher speed, although thrilling, is not without hazards. The same game goes for overclocking. Although overclocking your PC does increase its efficiency and performance, yet it needs extra precaution to be carries out. Otherwise, you might end up with hardware damaged beyond repair. Moreover, attempting it usually renders your part- warranties completely useless. Before I turn to actual topic about as to exactly how to overclock, these are some serious issues that needed to be considered. Just as driving your car at high speed dissipates more heat and sound, similarly overclocking generates higher temperatures and more rackets. If this heat is not ventilated properly, not only will it make your computer unstable, it will damage your hardware too. Hence, a sophisticated cooling system needs to be in place before you decide to overclock. For this purpose, a specially designed chassis or extra fans can do just the trick

So, exactly how does one perform this amazing feat? First, what needs to be determined is whether your motherboard can be overclocked to begin with. Some motherboard manufacturers try all they can prohibit overclocking. For this purpose, pay a visit to your mother board manufacturer’s official website. As a matter of fact, chances are that your board might be locked already. If that really is the case, then your overclocking project is over before it could even begin.

When overclocking a computer, the CPU the system memory and the motherboard all have a different and important part to play in the process. Two important variable groven how fact a modern processor goes; its internal multiplier and the Front Scale Bus (FSB) setting of the motherboard and the memory. The FSB is the data connection b/w the processor and the memory. A processor’s speed equals its multiplier times the FSB megahertz. Therefore, an Intel processor with a multiplier of 16 working with a FSB speed 200 megahertz would run at 3.2 gigahertz. There are two ways a processor can be made to run faster; increasing the multiplier or increasing FSB speed. Increasing FSB speed tends to be the most common and effective method of overclocking.

Ofcourse, to determine your PCs performance improvement, you need to know how it was performing before overclocking. For this purpose, run a benchmark test. The benchmark test will provide you with a baseline to compare your processor’s improvement. These tests are available online and pretty easy to use as well. For e.g Test My Hardware is free software, is a simple system information and diagnostics utility that provides detailed information about all your hardware components, such as your CPU, memory, operating system, power source, memory. Its simple interface provides an organized overview of all the available information.

Now that the little technology lesson is over and the necessary precautions and warnings have been issued. Where exactly do we perform overclocking?

Every thing needed to overclock your system is on one BIOS page. On most motherboards, the BIOS menu can be accessed by rebooting the machine and pressing the delete (DEL) key repeatedly. Look for the CPU and FSB speed adjustment controls. Generally, these will be in a section of the BIOS called ‘frequency/voltage control’. Increasing the FSB will increase the FSB speed of the motherboard, overclocking the processor and memory at the same time. Also another handy BIOS utility is the “PC health status” page. This allows you to monitor your system’s temperature to prevent it from over heating.

This truth is that overclocking is not much of a big deal. True, it is a tricky area to deal with and the end results can some times be messy if proper precautions are not observed. However, when we consider the fact that most modern day motherboards and CPUs already come equipped with overclocking abilities, there is little reason to not take a stab at it.

Are you going to stab it or not?? Thanks for appreciations. Stay tune with SeoSheen.

“With all the hype surroundings search engine optimization, it is time to shift the myths from the facts”

Very few knowledge disciplines other than Search Engine Optimization (SEO) enjoy such high number of self concocted theories and myths. The lack of understanding how search engine work general unawareness about the science of information retrieval allows anyone to come up with a theory if his / her own. Here is an attempt to debunk such theories and myths in detail.

Myth #1: SEO Is Easy To Learn.

Everyone seems to be learning and claming to be an SEO expert now a days. Sure, learning the basics is easy and fairly simple but, SEO as a knowledge domain is much more than inserting a few keywords and getting links to your website.

  • Keyword research, rank checking and other tools.

Also keep to update with the recent developments in the industry through forums, blogs and books is very important in this ever changing field.

Myth # 2: Links Links And More Links.

Almost all website owners receive countless link requests every day. Do you ever wonder who makes these requests and why? Well, these are Search Engine Optimizer on a never ending ’crusade’ to find as many links as possible for their website. They think that by getting more and more links, they will achieve higher ranking. Sure, links do help in getting higher ranking, provided they come from relevant and credible sources. On the flipside, irrelevant and absurd links can even get a website penalized by the search engines as most of the search engine clearly discourage website owners to participate in links schemes and programs, designed for the sole purpose of improving search ranking

Myth #3: New Website Don’t Stand A Chance In Google.

The general theory is that Google unfairly sideline new sites for months just because they are new. This delay is popular called the ‘Google Sandbox Effect or Ageing Delay’. The fact is that new sites get delayed or face barrier to enter in competitive search results for two reasons.

1- Below par quality incoming links from authority websites within the industry. For example, if your website provides investment related information in Pakistani financial markets, you would be required to get links from bank, financial institutions and business newspapers etcetera

2- Insufficient amount of search engine requests for some thing unique your website offers. For example, a natural disaster hits the country and your websites provides information about disaster. Do you think Google will apply the ageing delay on your website? Absolutely not! Because your website offers unique information, which is being searched by people and is not already on other website

Myth #4: Pagerank Is Every Thing.

It is shocking how many people don’t let go of this myth. They continue to believe that PageRank has some impact on their rankings. The fact is that, PageRank itself has no affect on your rankings. It is just an indicator of how popular linked your website is. If your website gets a high volume of quality links over period, you can expect your PageRank score to be decent.

Myth#5: SEO Is The Only Technique To Get Free Quality Traffic.

Most online marketers and Search Engine Optimizer believe that search engines are the only source for free and quality traffic. The fact is that the emergence of social networking sites, such as OrKut, FaceBook, Youtube, StumbleUpone, Digg, and Myspace etcetera, pose a brand new challenge for online marketers to grab their share traffic from theses social media outlets. This new discipline popularity known as social media marketing greatly complements the efforts of SEO.

Myht #6: Large Corporate Companies’ Don’t Need SEO.

It is true that most large corporations rank well on some specific search terms even without actively pursuing SEO. However since they are large organizations, a lot of people do talk about then on forums, personal blogs, reviews, opinions etc which when picked up by search engines can either build or break the brand image of the organization

Most people before applying for job, buying product or service, or lending a loan etc want to do their research using search engines. If your company is maligned by people on forums, it will reflect in the search engine results and can hurt your brand image as well. To encounter these problems Search Engine Optimizer devise a strategy to bring in favorable pages about your company in the tops positions to secure your brand image.

Myth #7: Google Is The Only Search Engine.

It is more of an approach than a myth. Most of the SEOs focus on Google alone, leaving behind a huge share of non-Google searches. These non- Goggle searches come from two sources.

1- Search engine such as Yahoo, MSN (LIVE) and Ask.

2- Regional versions of Google and other major search engines.

Even for websites in English, the regional versions such ad Google UK, Google Canada etc are great sources of traffic, which have, pretty much different results than the main Google website.

Myth #8: Google Hates My Website.

Some optimizer and webmaster go to the extent of thinking that Google has handpicked their website and penalized it. With terabytes of data to deal with, this is the last thing you can expect from Google or any other search engine. Even when people manually report a site, which is not complying with Google’s code of conducts, Google usually tries to get rid of the problem by adjusting its algorithms rather than fixing the problem at the micro level.

Myth #9: There Are Millions Of Search Engines.

How many times have you come across website tools or services that promise to submit your website to millions of search engines out there? The major four players, Google, MSN, Yahoo, and Ask amount up to 95 percent of the search engine market.

The remaining five percent comprises of search facilities powered by these search engines. Although there are few hundred search engine out there, but the amount of traffic is negligible and not worth bothering.

Myth# 10: Using Flash Is Not Good.

Using flash on website is not bad at all if you can manage to not completely relay on it. The problems arise when you don’t use text at all.

“”Michelle Turner, VP of Marketing at Adobe explained “we are releasing technology to Google and Yahoo! that enables them to crawl and index SWF files. They are now searchable. This will open up millions of flash files to search”. Adobe has created an optimised Flash player which acts as a virtual user running through each application and translating it into something that search engines can read and understand. The player will allow search engines to read SWF files and index the information contained within them, including texts and links. This means interactive Flash websites and other rich internet applications that have previously been invisible to search engines can now be seen.””

Myth # 11: Complex Urls.

There is misconception lies among many people that complex and auto generated URLs can’t be indexed. All major search engines can index complex and database generated URLs.

Myth # 12: Duplicated Content Penalty.

Search engines don’t penalize the webmaster for duplicated content. In a case where it finds similar content on two websites, it simple ignores one and keeps the other, depending on which site is more credible to search engine

These are just a few of the hundreds of theories and myths out there. If you want to steer clear of such myths and theories always seek information form credible sources only. Reading official search engine guidelines, tips and advice from long time SEO experts can be helpful too.
