The Amazing Story of HeadCut Portraits in The Wall Street Journal, No Photographs for Illustrations 2007-10-22 23:31:00 Written by Amit Agarwal on Tuesday, November 07, 2006 You have probably seen this pen and ink drawing of Michael Arrington in a recent story about Techcrunch published in The Wall StreetJournal
.These distinctive dot sketch portraits of celebrities in the WSJ are popularly known as HedCut drawings composed only of tiny ink dots and lines and is unique to the paper. They are drawn by hand [no computers] using just pencils for tracing and ink pens to emulate the look of woodcuts from old-style newspapers, and engravings on certificates and currency.Wall St. Journal editors have had no love for real pictures since they felt that one word was worth a thousand pictures. Most of the pages on the WSJ don't have photographs except for showing advertisements. So their artists gave birth to a new HedCut style of portraits or dot drawings which maintained their "no-picture policy on Page 1" and also preserved the gray appearance of the paper.Now the WSJ has a small in-house art staff for drawing Read more:Amazing

Walk It - More Reasons to Start Walking in London 2007-10-22 23:28:00 Written by Amit Agarwal on Tuesday, November 07, 2006Commuters in London never had it so good. A new site called walkit.com is helping London residents and tourists make more informed decisions about whether they should walk for all, or part, of any given journey or combine walking with other modes of transport.Like Mapquest or Yahoo Maps, you type in the From and the To address and the site will show you the shortest possible walking route map between the two points.What's unique about Walkit.com is that you also get details about how much calories you would burn and the pollution levels you avoid if you cover the same distance by walking instead of taking a car, taxi or a bus.So if Mr Tony Blair were to visit the Queen of England from 10 Downing Street, it would take him 12 minutes to reach the Royal Buckingham Palace on foot plus he would burn 64 calories to cover those 1.4 miles.For a lot of health conscious Londoners, these simple details could motivate them to walk instead of co Read more:Reasons

from Microsoft is a must have utility created by Sysinternals that can put the Windows

Flickr Important Security Notice at FerynTina 2007-10-25 13:57:00 8 March, 2007 In January we issued an alert regarding efforts by malicious third parties attempting to gain access to your Flickr
account. We would again like to remind you about this issue and of ways that you can protect yourself. We have had reports of Flickr members receiving comments on their photos or FlickrMails touting various services that are described as coming from Flickr itself, such as “special photo packages” and the like. Unfortunately, some unsuspecting members have been tricked into giving away their Flickr login credentials to unscrupulous third parties, so we wanted to explain what’s going on and how you can protect yourself. What’s going on here? What’s happening is called “phishing“, which Wikipedia describes as an “attempt to fraudulently acquire sensitive information, such as usernames, passwords and credit card details, by masquerading as a trustworthy entity in an electronic communication

Look at your search engine and try to type "buy domain".And you must be shocked that exist domain registrar which cost you only $1.99 / year for one single domain (.com or .net). But, as the expert said, "Don't believe the offer if it sounds too good to be true." Because the lowest the domain's price, more awareness must be taken.Just believe domain registrar with rational and realistic price (in opinion, it variated $8-$20 per domain per year).The most important thing we must be aware that NEVER buy domain included with the hosting package with

Based on our experience from working with scores of clients, here are the 9 most common problems that we find: Broken information architecture - These are sites that fail to map the nature of the information they are providing into an understandable hierarchy. Bad for users and search engines.Poor site usability - Results in poor conversion rates, poor lifetime value per visitor, and a less attraactive site for linking to.Mismanaged internal link juice - Some sites allocate their link juice poorly, resulting in not enough of it going to their most important pages.Content getting buried over time - A surprising number of sites that create huge amounts of content use publishing systems that buries stuff over time.

How To Appear On The First Page Of Google Search Results 2007-11-16 13:13:00 Written By: Evan Mangan Once you create a website for your business, you quickly figure out that people are not flocking to it. When you assess the different ways of driving traffic, your options include advertising your website address, promoting your website address through Public Relations and gaining media coverage, encouraging other sites to link to you and getting placed in online directories.However, these marketing activities will deliver small and sporadic volumes of traffic. The single biggest thing you can do to drive traffic is search engine marketing. Here is why: it is estimated that 80% of traffic to most websites comes from search engines. There are roughly 500 million searches performed everyday and 88% of that traffic comes from the top 4-5 search engines, Google
, Yahoo, Ask and MSN. Of these, Google is by far the largest. Approximately 90% of people searching do not go past the third page of results and few go beyond the first page.Th Read more:First

Google PageRank and Backlinks Relation 2007-11-16 13:11:00 by Andrew Williams Here are some observations that I have made recently:1. On several of my own sites, I have some pages with zero page rank despite having links pointing to them PR 5 pages on the same site. These pages are now 2-3 months old. Shouldn't they have PR by now?2. Most of these pages rank well despite the apparent PR 0.3. Doing searches on Google
show up a lot of anomalies. Many top ranking pages have PR 0.For example, go to http://www.prsearch.net/This is that great search tool I mentioned last week which gives you the PR and backlinks of the search results.

Is meta tagging going to the death? 2007-11-16 13:09:00 A moment ago I’ve read an article about meta tags and it refreshed my memory on how to write meta tags. But there are some webmasters says that, meta tags is face out on SEO trend. But two tips I found did help:· Meta Description Tags: Google displays up to 160 characters (including spaces) or about 25 words· Meta Keyword Tags: Search engines that support meta tags index up to 1000 characters (including spaces)Back to basic about the meta tag that still has relevance; the meta description tag. Meta descriptions have three primary uses:· To describe the content of the page accurately and succinctly· To serve as a short, text "advertisement" to click on your results in the search results· To display targeted keywords, not for ranking purposes, but to indicate the content to searchersGreat meta descriptions, just like great ads, but for keyword-targeted pages, particularly in competitive search results, they're a critical part of driving traffic from the engines through to Read more:death
Is Meta Tags Still Important and Useful Now? 2007-11-16 13:07:00 A moment ago, I’ve read somewhere in forum says that meta tags are not important as now. These things bother me a lot. My friend and I are having a debate about the value of the meta description tag. He says that search engines don't index them anymore and so you don't need to use one. I think that he's wrong and that search engines will use them in the search results pages to describe your site, but if you don't include one, you might find a snippet of text from your page being used instead.But Kalena's answer that it depends on each search engine. For example, Google and Yahoo will sometimes use part of your META Description tag, but they will usually use a snippet of text on your web page that includes the exact search query entered. But if your site is listed in the Yahoo Directory, Yahoo will often use your editor-created description from there. If your site is listed in the ODP, Google may use your ODP description.As Ammon Johns says in this post at forums, the most Read more:Useful

Are Forums and Blogs Can Really Help SEO? 2007-11-16 12:49:00 Forums and blogs have become a very important part of the Internet landscape. I personally have learned almost as much about Internet marketing by diligently reading as I have from actual hands-on experience. With every positive experience, however, I have seen people trying to abuse the system. Forum and blog spammers, as Barry pointed out a couple weeks ago, can make the whole community experience a little less satisfying.A couple of threads recently started at Search Engine Watch Forums has the same member asking about "Using Forums for SEO
" and "Can I use someone else's blog to link to my site? " A few weeks ago, another poster detailed what he seemed to think was a new idea, saying "I was wondering if forums spam is something illegal with regarding to SEs?" he went on to describe his plan, but was a little worried about the Search Engines.In my opinion, what they should really worry about is their status/reputation within their industry.

Going Broke on Google Adwords? 2007-11-16 12:48:00 You've heard the stories. Clíck fraud has run rampant on Google
, Yahoo, and MSN. This is evidenced by the numerous law suits that have been filed.One of the most notable cases occurred this year when Google settled their own clíck fraud case to the tune of 90 million dollars. In fact, Google and Yahoo have each settled a class action lawsuit filed by marketers. Clíck Fraud - What It Is So, what is clíck fraud and how does it occur? Wikipedia provides us with a definition:"Clíck fraud occurs in pay per clíck online advertising when a person, automated scrípt, or computer program imitates a legitimate user of a web browser clicking on an ad, for the purpose of generating an improper charge per clíck. Clíck fraud is the subject of some controversy and increasing litigation due to the advertising networks being a key beneficiary of the fraud whether they like it or not."However, I would like to simplify this definition.

Your SEO Service, Ethical SEO, and Competitor Monitoring 2007-11-16 12:46:00 According to Scott Buresh as posted on his article-"When a company undertakes a search engine optimization program, whether it is performed in-house or outsourced to an SEO
service, most of the attention (and rightly so) is focused on the company website. This is the one aspect where there is a feeling of control—once a website is released into the wild, the company will have to see how its site fares against all the other websites out there, whether the other sites are using ethical SEO tactics or not.Apart from changes made to the company website, the assumption is often that the company and, if it is using one, its SEO service, has zero control over what appears in search engine results. However, this is not usually the case. Often, you or your SEO service can have a direct effect on search engine results by monitoring your competitors and reporting them to the major search engines when the SEO techniques used on their site fall outside what is popularly referred to as ethical SEO Read more:Service
