Google TranslateAltaVista - Babel Fish TranslationBut wait , do you really think thats is a good idea ? If you do , then you have forgotten the other aspect of it.The above strategy will not be of any use because you haven't identified the language in which you recieved the comment.How can you convert a language to english without knowing the name of that language.It is here when the following services are worth using.These services allow you to enter sample text and guess the correct language.Language IdentificationFree We Read more:Understanding

The Government Was Reading Your Emails ! 2007-06-24 04:42:00 As we all know , the sudden advent of gmail with storage space in gigabytes as compared to a few megabytes which were earlier provided by msn , yahoo etc. forced these giants to increase their storage space multi fold.This was a great boon for Internet users.Large storage space meant no need of having more than one email accounts and also no deletion of any received emails.But no one noticed the other side of it.All your private information , means the mails you have ever received stayed now forever as your email history.You receive a lot of mails each day from your friends,relatives,colleagues and many more people probably enriched with your interests and your job information.According to a recent article on howstuffworks , the US Government
has been using the Stored Communications Act (SCA) to read private emails without a search warrant called Wiretrap.It was all until a man named steven warshak , owner of a herbal supplements company learned that government officials were reading h Read more:Reading

Encourage Comments On Your Blog With ClickComments 2007-06-22 06:04:00 ClickComments
are comments that your readers can give with just one click on an icon that expresses what they want to communicate to you about your blog post.Clickcomments makes it easy for readers to send you an expressive comment with just one click on an icon. The clickcomment counter gets updated immediately for everyone to see. A reader can give different clickcomments on a post.Only 0.1% of readers comment regularly! 5% occasionally comment and 94.9% never comment because they don't want to provide their email address or register.Clickcomments eliminates these barriers and provides readers a simple and expressive ways to respond to your posts. Sometimes someone else has already written what a reader wanted to write and didn't want to write a "yeah, what she said" comment.Open comment systems are subject to spam and trolling. Clickcomments enables readers to send a specific set of comments and constructive feedback. Clickcomments does not let readers leave links or malicious mes
Tail Keywords For Search Engine Traffic 2007-06-22 01:57:00 John Chow:For the past few days, I’ve been testing a really neat service call HitTail. In a nutshell, HitTail helps increase your site’s search engine traffic by telling you what long tail keywords to use in your articles. A small piece of code is installed on your site to track search engine traffic and the keywords used to find you. HitTail then uses sophisticated algorithms to pull out underperforming terms as suggestions. Now all you have to do write a post using the suggested keywords and watch your search ranking improve for that term. Some of the search terms HitTail comes up with are pretty far out. While I don’t see a problem using “making quick money” or ‘rubiks cube methods” in a post, I have to wonder how I can get “21st birthday wise words” or “0 credit card banks” in a post (other than what I just did now).In addition to recommending long tail keywords to use in your articles, HitTail shows all the search terms that search engine users used to find Read more:Keywords

Why Your Comments Are Not Generating Traffic To Your Blog ? 2007-06-08 02:23:00 A lot of my readers have asked me this question " Why are my comments not generating traffic ? " Therefore, let me address this problem as what I think may be the cause.There may be several reasons as to why your comments are not getting you readers like1) Your comments are irrelevant to the posts you comment upon.2) Your comments are not adding any value to the post you commented upon.3) Your comment just contains your url with a bit of appreciation.4) You are spamming other blogs.5) You comment on blogs which do not have good traffic or which are lesser known.Regarding the first 4 points , I think you know what you need to do.Therefore we directly come to the last point.Sometimes one thinks that if a post already has a lot of comments , then commenting on that post will not be of any worth.This is not true.You should comment on blogs which are visited , subscribed and commented on by a large number of readers.This list will help you in identifying popular blogs in the blogosphere.Cho Read more:Comments

25 Tips To Increase Your Google Pagerank 2007-06-28 03:06:00 In order to update the content of your blog, all you have to do is to post, and post again. The secret is out on much of what Google
uses to rank your website on their search engine.Google’s PageRank algorithm tests to see how often a web page is updated and the length of time between changes in a blog post’s content.Add Intrasite Links: Go through your old posts and look for opportunities to link from within the post to other related posts you’ve written more recently.If you make big improvements, point to them in a new blog post to let people know you are working on old material to make it better.Instead of writing paragraph, paragraph, paragraph, try changing the content into a list form, guiding the reader through the process rather than just telling them about it.Update your old posts by checking for outdated and dead end links and removing the truly dead ones and updating the moved links by using the following resourcesLink Checking ResourcesDMOZ’s Link Management LinksSi

Since I registered on eBay in 2000, I've ran thousands of profitable auctions which I follow these guidelines. Most importantly always try to be fair with other users who deal with you and never be intimidated by any competition. eBays big enough for us all, and currently there is 1 seller registered to 78 buyers.1) Low starting PriceBefore you list your auction, ask yourself what's the lowest amount you'd be prepared to accept for your item.
