Why MSN Won’t Make It as a Search Engine 2007-07-07 19:34:59 By: Terry Fitzroy
MSN has been continually losing what little footing they had as a search engine. Every month their search engine market share percentage decreases by a percentage or two. You wouldn’t think that was much except that if the trend continues, they’ll have 0 market share before the end of the year.
So as big as MSN is, you would think they would be able to come up with some incredible fix to this fairly large problem. MSN thinks so too. They have hired new people to come up with something totally new that no one has ever seen before. That’s great and I’m all for it, but the problem with this solution to the problem is that building something “new” doesn’t fix the real problem. The problem is Google. People want Google. People use Google. Anyone who is anyone uses Google as their search engine, Not MSN. As far as I’m concerned, the only people who use MSN (on a consistent basis) are the people who don’t kno Read more:Search

Spyware Removal Software - Putting up the Barbed-Wire Defense 2007-07-07 19:22:24 By: Jay Moncliff
The Internet has been a revolution but not without a few negative aspects. One such threat has been the spyware that requires learning at least the basics of spyware removal software. That shall make one knowledgeable on where this spyware comes from; the best way to tackle it and which software is most effective in their removal.
These programs are written for gathering information on the Internet browsing habits of a user. The information (data) is then transferred to the spyware creator, either to be used by the same person or to be sold to third parties e.g. targeted online advertisers. This is the reason why frequent advertisements pop up frequently while being online. However, though most of these spyware programs are nothing else but annoying, the real threats come from those used by hackers and crackers. These people gather sensitive information like email addresses and passwords, bank account numbers, credit card numbers and passwords stored in a co Read more:Spyware

How To Avoid Really Pissing Off Your Website Visitors! 2007-07-03 13:28:08 By: Joe Rispoli
Here are 13 tips to follow when setting up your website.
1. Avoid
Pop Ups.
They come in many different varieties: entry pop ups, exit pop ups, delayed, small, large, multiple, flying, scrolling, browser locking, surf stopping, must be cleared to move on.
Web surfers hate pop ups! So why do they continue to appear all over the Internet? Simple. They work.
2. What good are Splash pages anyway?
Why would you put up your company logo and make your visitors hit a click here to enter link when there is no reason for them to not have entered already?
Get to the point! You only have about eight seconds to interest the typical visitor so do not throw any obstacles like splash pages in front of them.

Why Do We Attach So Much Importance To Google? 2007-07-03 10:51:26 By: Trevor Taylor
It’s not so very long ago that I used to subscribe to the notion that AOL and Yahoo believed they owned the Internet and had the right to control it. The over-the-top war on spam was a clever smoke screen whilst our monitors were pumped with pop-ups that generated them millions.
During the last couple of years however, it seems that ownership of the Internet has been surrendered to a new overlord! GOOGLE! And we should all point our prayer mats to face Mountain View CA… Or should we?

This article is going to cover what is sometimes referred to as an “online science”. OK, stay with me and don’t panic. Those of you who know me by now are aware that I like to keep things as simple and straightforward as possible. So hang on in there, take the next few minutes to read this, and I’m pretty sure you’ll be glad you did.

Find Subjects And Materials For Writing Articles 2007-06-28 20:30:02 By: Stephen Campbell
Sources of Subjects
. “What shall I write about?” is the first question that inexperienced writers ask their literary advisers. “If you haven’t anything to write about why write at all?” might be an easy answer. Most persons as a matter of fact have plenty to write about but do not realize it. Not lack of subjects but inability to recognize the possibilities of what lies at hand is their real difficulty.
The best method of finding subjects is to look at every person every event every experience in short, at everything with a view to seeing whether or not it has possibilities for a special feature article. Even in the apparently prosaic round of everyday life will be found a variety of themes. A circular letter from a business firm announcing a new policy, a classified advertisement in a newspaper, the complaint of a scrub-woman, a new variety of fruit in the grocer’s window, an increase in the price of laundry work, a hurried Read more:Materials

Benefits of a Google Sitemap 2007-06-26 00:47:54 By: Tyler James Ellison
Sitemap
generator programs can be downloaded from various sources on the Internet. The programs have two fundamental purposes. These programs help surfers navigate a site effectively and at the same time, a sitemap encourages search engine spiders. Google
offers one of the most popular sitemap programs ever to hit the Internet.
The Google sitemap makes it possible for a website to get listed and get updated by the search engine. Setting up the generated sitemap helps speed up the addition of the web pages of a site to the google listing. Sitemap generators also makes it easier for a site to get noticed by online surfers. In addition, any changes made to a website that has a sitemap is immediately picked up by Google. The sitemap also helps keep online information fresh and up-to-date for users.

Article Submission Strategy – Read Before Your Submit Another Article! 2007-06-24 00:36:44 By: Davion W
Article
submission strategy is important when it comes to submitting articles to online article directories. I would explain why. In the past, you can just write and post an article and there is a high chance that your article can get lots of traffic. The traffic comes from the search engines and the visitors of the article directories. It was easy because there are not many online authors, so there isn’t much information to compete with you for reader’s attention. Life was so simple then. Now, the competition is so stiff that you really got to use a bit of article submission strategy and tricks to get to the top which you would learn here.

Do Not Go Past Google, Do Not Collect $200 2007-07-08 22:57:07 By: Daniel Moro
Are you relying too heavily on one Pay-Per-Click advertising network for your affiliate marketing? Some affiliates rely on Google
AdWords only, and they are losing out on a great deal of revenue.
Many affiliates get into affiliate marketing after reading one of the popular ebooks on the topic that are sold online. But most of these ebooks concentrate on training people to use Google AdWords. I figure that is because Google has higher traffic volumes and because it is very easy to quickly set up your first affiliate campaigns. Many affiliates never get past AdWords, though, and that is where they are losing out.
You should already know that it’s never a good idea to put all your eggs in one basket. Particularly when that one basket has seen better days. I can assure you that relying heavily on one advertising network, particularly Google AdWords, is not a smart strategy for growing your affiliate marketing business.

10 Steps To Top 10 Rankings In Google 2007-07-08 22:12:19 By: Titus Hoskins
Most webmasters go totally “gaga” for top 10 rankings in Google
. And for good reason, Google is the most dominant search engine on the net and will deliver the largest amount of traffic.
More importantly, those same webmasters will also inform you, getting top 10 rankings in Google often means your site will prove profitable. Mainly because obtaining targeted traffic is usually your first obstacle in creating a viable online business. In other words, if you get top ten listings in Google for good searchable keywords, it is almost impossible not to earn money.

The E-mail Safelist Scam 2007-07-14 12:33:48 By: Ryan Smith
Emailing to a list is considered the best way to get fast results in any marketing campaign. Unfortunately for the Internet Marketer, this can also lead to lawsuits if one is not careful. To most, the obvious solution is to join a marketing safelist and promote to it.
Safelists promote the hype that each member will earn thousands by submitting to their safelist. They continue the hype by promoting to the unwary that their ads will be seen and their sites visited. Certain types of sites like this can only marginally come close to making any sort of guarantee of visitors. These types of safelist operate a credit based system that awards viewers credits when they visit other member sites. Once they reach a certain credit threshold they, in turn, can send out their own message.

Keyword Optimized Articles for Google’s Love 2007-07-12 21:31:03 By: Craig Rad
Keyword
articles should deliver the content and information visitors are after, while also having a good keyword or keyphrase density, which will make the search engines score the pages they are on at higher levels. In general, it is recommended, for search engine optimization purposes, that you add at least 5 new pages of content once a week or once every two weeks. This helps the search engines see that your site is live, active, and they tend to place it in the top of the returned results, under these circumstances. Here are some other consideration regarding keyword optimized articles.

Bloggers Need to Beware of Violating FTC Deceptive Practice Standards When Making Endorsements 2007-07-15 22:20:38 By: Robert Masud
The Federal Trade Commission (”the Commission or FTC”) has handed down an advisory opinion that may have dire consequences for companies that employ individuals who are involved in blogging and promote those companies products or services while blogging. According to the Commission, this may hold true even if these employees are undertaking this blogging on their personal time and even if the company management has no idea of what may be going on. The Commission advises that such a blogger must make readers aware of his or her connection with the company whose products or services he or she is endorsing.

How The Heck Does Agloco Make Me Money? 2007-07-19 15:46:47
When I first came across the concept of Agloco, I immediately thought to myself ” Yeah right, someone is going to pay me just to surf the net as I normally do anyway”…in other words, I was and am still somewhat sceptical. When, I checked it out, because I am the curious type, I came to the realization that I really had nothing to lose. If it crashes and dies a fiery internet death like so many others…too bad. But if it does take off and soars like a Googlean Eagle or a Yahoonian Hawk, I might actually make some money by doing diddly-squat.
I signed up painlessly…as there was no need to tell them my life history and what my favorite fetish was all about. Got my confirmation email and installed the Agloco Viewbar. I did my internet thing, as usual, and nothing happened. After five hours of surfing, my required (I think) monthly allotment of surfing with the bar active, was up.

How To Sniff Out An Internet Scam 2007-07-19 14:30:30 By: Ba Kiwanuka
Like any other environment that offers the average individual the opportunity to amass a substantial amount of wealth fairly quickly, the internet not surprisingly is rampant with scams. No doubt the situation today is far better than it was a few years back but that still does not negate the fact that the potential for you to get scammed is relatively high.
Sir Joshua Reynolds once remarked, “there’s no expedient to which a man will not resort to avoid the real labor of thinking” an observation which has since proved to be the cornerstone of many a marketer’s success as well as that of the average scammer.

Fight Spam! Strategies and Software to Take Back your Inbox 2007-07-23 20:55:34 By: Casey Markee
Efficiency and accuracy in communication may be more important today than at any time in human history. The number of spam messages passed between individuals and businesses continues to increase significantly each day, to the point that some are literally overwhelmed by their sheer volume. Now, more than ever, it is vital that true non-spam email messages be absolutely accurate and arrive at the correct location, on time.
According to most studies, Americans are doing their part in adding to the vast number of electronic messages, but they are also creating a huge number of unwanted, unnecessary messages. One set of statistics shows that as many as 4 of every 10 spam items come from U.S. addresses. Europeans are far worse, however. Half of all emails originating there are spam, according to some statistics.

This can be an unintentional issue, because of site architecture etc., or something the webmaster is well aware of, such as syndicated contend and scraped/illegally copied content from other websites.

Yahoo: A Brief History of Yahoo! What You Need to Know 2007-07-30 20:58:14 By: Jeff Casmer
In January of 1994, two graduate students at Stanford University, Jerry Yang and David Filo created what we know today as Yahoo
. Originally named Jerry’s Guide to the World Wide Web, Yahoo was a directory that organized other web sites into a hierarchy. The history of Yahoo begins.
Unlike other search engines, Yahoo gained swift popularity. Just twelve months after its creation, Yang and Filo had over one million hits on their year old search engine. The sheer volume of people using it prompted Filo and Yang to incorporate Yahoo early in 1995

You Have Been Lied To! The Real Truth About High-Paying Adsense Keywords 2007-08-09 15:16:29 By: Abhishek Agarwal
Every single day I receive an email from someone or the saying:
“Abhi, please send me a list of keywords that will pay me $20-$30 per click in AdSense”
You see, I do not blame them for asking that question. It’s not their fault. There is a lot of misinformation floating around the Internet. And newbies get attracted to anything that promises a lot of riches.
You will find many sites that will sell you lists of “High-paying AdSense Keywords
” or list of keywords that will “Sky-rocket your AdSense earnings overnight”.
They make you feel that if you purchase their list and design your sites based on these keywords, your AdSense earnings would touch the sky.
According to them, Google pays you around 50% of the keyword cost. So if someone clicks on the Ad, for a keyword costing $50, you will earn around $25…Cool!

Negative SEO - What’s it all about? 2007-08-12 18:58:08 If your online business, like thousands of others on the Web, relies on Google searches for traffic, then NegativeSEO
is something you should know about.
Negative SEO can boost a site to the top of Google search results for lucrative search terms, and at the same time reduce a competing site’s visibility to searchers or making it seem to disappear from search results altogether.
Negative SEO is a harmless-sounding term that amounts to sabotaging a Web site’s ranking in search engine results. Sometimes negative SEO is performed for reputation management, tweaking online content so that it floats to the top of Google or Yahoo! results, thereby pushing a critic’s negative comments to a lower ranking. But in some cases, negative SEO involves more dubious means, convincing Google or Yahoo’s search algorithms to bury a competitor’s site deep within search results, where its traffic practically evaporates.

Google Ranking Secrets 2007-08-15 20:29:18 By: Jim Pretin
Google
is by far the most important search engine on the net. To rise to the top of their search engine, you need to improve your link popularity and you need to understand how they measure your link popularity (over 50% of all search engine traffic comes from Google, and if you can rise to the top, you will likely rise to the top of all the other search engines as well).
Link popularity is defined as the number of sites that are linking to your site. Some websites have thousands or even millions of sites linking to them, while others might have only a few. The search engines use the number of inbound links your site has as a measure of how important your site is, which translates into your search engine ranking.

10 Search Engine Optimisation Tips For WordPress Blogs 2007-08-23 10:55:58 By: Ben Kemp
Search
engine optimisation for WordPress is essential if you are to gain maximum traction from your efforts. Many corporate or business blogs are started with the intention of using them to;
- broaden the companies information distribution
- provide an easy way to grow the site
- provide an easy way to create fresh content
- increase the “stickiness” of the site
- generate additional qualified traffic
- increase incoming link count
However, what many people fail to understand is that the default installation of WordPress simply does not include even the most basic SEO functionality. The default WordPress installation generates unintelligible URLs, generic Page Titles and neither Description nor Keyword meta-tags. Thus, the chances of achieving the desired goals is severely compromised! That search engines hate duplicate content is a given - and 3 of the key indicators are page URL, Title and Description!

How to Defend your Website from the Google Duplicate Proxy Exploit 2007-08-22 13:31:34 By: Sophie White
There is a current and active way to knock a website out of Google
’s search engine results. It’s simple and effective. This information is already in the public domain and the more people that know about it, the more likelihood there is that Google will do something about it. This article will tell you how it works, how to get a website knocked out of the search engine rankings, but most importantly, how to defend your own website from having it happen to you.
To understand this exploit, you must first understand about Google’s Duplicate
Content filter. It’s simply described thus: Google doesn’t want you to search for “blue widget” and have the top 10 search terms returned copies of the same article on how great blue widgets are. They want to give you ONE copy of the Great Blue Widget article, and 9 other different results, just on the off chance that you’ve already read that article and the other results Read more:Proxy

Lsi and Theme Based Relevancy 2007-08-29 22:29:03 By: Loredana Sargu
In the past 2 years, a very important factor in web content writing was keyword density, with the recommended 2 to 7% agreed by most seo experts. Well, that has changed for 2007, at least as far as Google goes. Their new patent clearly indicates the massive role that Latent Semantic Indexing is going to play in how they evaluate the relevancy of any given page and therefore its rank by closely considering co-occurrence rates and semantically related phrases, especially focusing the attention on the first one.
Here is an excerpt of the patent filling:
“The system is further adapted to identify phrases that are related to each other, based on a phrase’s ability to predict the presence of other phrases in a document. More specifically, a prediction measure is used that relates to the co-occurrence rate of two phrases to an expected co-occurrence rate of the two phrases.
