What is title optimiztion 2007-09-17 04:37:00 There are two type of titles 1) Blog title and 2) Post titleWhen we visit main url of the blog , what we see on top most line of browser is blog's title and when we click on individual post this line displays post title.In my earlier posts , I have mentioned that your chosen keyword should be used in post title as well as blog title to get better search engine ranking.The earlier the keyword is found in title , more marks you get for ranking.But in case of blogspot blogs, the title of the post is displayed as Blog title + Post title.In case of wordpress blogs the title of the post is displayed as Post title + Blog title.In case of normal website individual title of the page is displayed without adding title of the main website. In case of blogs, posts are webpages ,but title is displayed differently (as mentioned above) and hence we loose marks during search engine ranking.So for blogspot blogs we need some technique or widget by which we can display post title as Post title + Blog t

Combine multiple video and audio files into Single file 2008-04-18 23:03:07 There are tricks to combine your video
and audio files
into a single file without using any additional softwares.These tricks are pretty simple to implement and work fine with many formats.Trick 1:This one is based on something we do almost everyday, but may never have realized it's full potential.1.Download and install Winrar or Winzip(most of you would already have it !!!).2.Suppose you have 3 videos in .mpg format that you want to combine.You have to add them into a zip or rar file.Note:An important thing to note here is that the files must be added without any compression.For example, in Winrar, select and right click on the files you want to join,click on "Add to archive ",then in the compression method select "Store".This way the files will not be compressed and the total file size

Windows XP Going Off Market In June-What it means 2008-04-23 00:28:52 Microsoft originally announced over a year ago that Windows
XP would be going off the market in January 2008. XP was later given a brief stay of execution, to June 30, 2008. That deadline is fast approaching, which has led to much panicking from people who aren't quite sure what XP's "going off market" means, exactly. People are still as confused as ever. So let's take a stab at clarifying, once again, what's going to happen by answering some frequently asked questions about XP's imminent disappearance.Will Windows XP really no longer be on sale after June 30?Sorry for the double negative, but no. All this means is that Microsoft will stop selling the OS. Finding a computer with XP preinstalled will likely be very difficult, as well. However, you'll still be able to find copies for the for Read more:Going

How SPAM got it's Name 2008-05-04 23:26:50 30 YEARS OF JUNK IN YOUR INBOXThis week, the world will mark an anniversary that has changed the face of email inboxes the world over: the first known spam email was sent 30 years ago on Saturday.But the message sent on May 3, 1978, by a marketer for the now defunct DEC computer company, to around 400 people on the US west coast, wasn’t called spam and the sender had no ill intent. How things have changed.Spam got it’s name from a skit on TV show Monty Python’s Flying Circus, in which a group of Vikings in a restaurant that serves all of its food with spam tinned meat sing a song repeating the word ad nauseum, said Brad Templeton, who has researched the subject. “Thus, the meaning of the term: something that keeps repeating and repeating to great annoyance.”Today, spamming is a s
Your Computer keyboard could be filthier than a toilet seat 2008-05-06 13:59:00 According to a study by British microbiologist, James Francis COMPUTER KEYBOARDS are filthier and infested with more bacteria than toilet seats. He compared samples from 33 keyboard
s to swabs from a loo seat and a door handle of a public toilet.Many keyboards had dangerous levels killer bacteria such as the dreaded E coli that causes diarrhoea, stomach cramps, fever and loss of appetite; and S aureus, which causes skin infections like pimples, boils and abscesses. Two keyboards had dangerous levels of coliform bacteria that are found in faeces and cause gastroenteritis.One of the keyboards had to be discarded because it was five times dirtier than the toilet seat and home to 150 times the acceptable limit of bacteria. “[It] was increasing the risk of its user becoming ill,” said James Read more:Computer
Internet News-Microsoft withdraws offer for Yahoo 2008-05-07 23:50:44 Micresoft Corporation walked away from its bid to buy Yahoo
Inc on Saturday after the Internet
Company turned down its offer to raise the price by $5 billion to $47.5 billion.Microsoft
’s offer was for $33 a share but Yahoo would not lower its demand below $37, Microsoft Chief Executive Steve Ballmer said. The software company initially bid $31 per share for Yahoo more than three months ago.“We believe the economics demanded by Yahoo do not make sense for us, and it is in the best interests of Microsoft stockholders, employees and other stakeholders to withdraw our proposal,” Ballmer said in a statement.Analysts say Yahoo has overplayed its hand and they expect the Web pioneer’s shares to fall as much as 30 percent.
