Top Search Keyword

Search Engine Optimization Defined

Search engine optimization (SEO) is the practice of guiding the development or redevelopment of a website so that it will naturally attract visitors by winning top ranking on the major search engines for selected keyword phrases.

Guide to Search Engine Optimization
In order to optimize your website, you need to ask yourself 3 questions:
1. How are people searching for my products and/or services?
2. Which sites are winning for those searches, and why?
3. Which searches can I win?



After you've identified a number of search phrases that are potentially winnable, you are ready to create a search engine optimization plan for your website.
First, review your website and determine whether you have significant content already developed that correlates closely with the keyword phrases you have identified. At a minimum, you need one page of well-written and useful content for each keyword family you have chosen. Each page should be entirely focused on exactly one keyword family. An excellent example is a page from an encyclopedia. For competitive keyword phrases, you will likely need to devote entire sections of your site to winning just one phrase.
Your Search Engine Optimization Plan
A complete guide to search engine optimization would be book-length, and would be out of date as soon as it was published, but here are several tips for building a website with search engine optimization in mind:
1. Every page on your site must have a unique title tag, meta keywords tag, and meta description tag.
2. Follow W3C recommendations for HTML document structure. Begin the body copy of your page with your keyword phrase, and repeat it as needed as the theme of the page throughout your copy. Feature your keyword phrase prominently by including it in headers and making it bold or italics.
3. Use text navigation on your site, and use the keyword phrases you have selected as the links. If you cannot use text navigation, include a footer on every page using text links.
4. Build a text site map, and link to it from every page of your site.
5. Organize your navigation according to the importance of your keyword phrases. If you break your site into many pages, link to the most important pages from every page of your site, and link to the other pages from section header pages and the site map.
6. Establish your site by submitting to the major directories, The Open Directory and the Yahoo! Directory, then build your link popularity by submitting to web directories, search engines, and requesting links from related websites.
7. Be patient. A search engine optimization project can take quite some time to work.

For Google's suggestions on search engine optimization, see Google Information for Webmasters - Webmaster Guidelines.

Virus dances onto Mac OS X

Macarena more embarrassment than threat !

Malware authors have created a proof-of-concept virus that's capable, in theory at least, of infecting Mac PCs running OS X. The
Macarena virus isn't spreading and even in the highly unlikely event your Mac catches the infection it doesn't do any real harm.
The low-threat pathogen Illustrates the point that Macs, just like Linux boxes, aren't immune from computers viruses even though incidents of infection on these machines remains as rare as finding hen's teeth. Windows machines have for years been the principal target for virus writers and there's no sign that will change anytime soon, if ever.

Mac viruses were relatively common at the dawn of personal computing, but these days the overwhelming majority of viruses are Windows specific. Macarena isn't the first piece of malware capable of infecting Mac OS X machines. Of the handful of Mac OS X pathogens ever created only the Leap Trojan has been spotted in the wild.

Object Recognition, The future of Google

Well, the post about Gmail avatars used for face recognition has a nice follow up from Google. They've acquired Neven Vision, a company specialized in image recognition.


"Neven Vision is changing the way we interact with the world by providing innovative applications for mobile devices based on image recognition technology.Neven Vision has developed a suite of mobile recognition technologies that enable images to become the interface to digital content—photos of advertisements become hyperlinks to branded content portals, while your camera phone can snap a picture of your face to secure verification of identity and control access to your private data. By equipping customers with an intuitive visual interface that anyone can use, this technology is unlocking vastly untapped market opportunities in Mobile Marketing and Commerce, Personal Security, and Biometric Identity Verification."
This technology will be used by Google to improve Picasa, by detecting and recognizing obects and persons in the picture. But the biggest challenge would be to integrate this into their image search engine and to create a mobile version for local search that will allow you to upload pictures and getinformation about the place / objects in the picture.
"Neven Vision comes to Google with deep technology and expertise around automatically extracting information from a photo. It could be as simple as detecting whether or not a photo contains a person, or, one day, as complex as recognizing people, places, and objects. This technology just may make it a loteasier for you to organize and find the photos you care about," says Picasa's product manager.
Neven Vision has one of the best face recognition software, but also a client for mobile phones that searches for relevant content related to an image. They also have the only face recognition software that runs on the microprocessors used in cell phones.

Now you see why Google acquired NevenVision, and not Riya?

Hackers post fake notice on Google Blog

A bug in Blogger enabled an unauthorized user to post a bogus notice on the Google Blog Saturday, claiming Google Inc. discontinued its AdWords click-to-call test with eBay Inc.
The bug was fixed and fake notice promptly removed from the site, according to a Google blog post that appeared late Sunday.The click-to-call test is "progressing on schedule, and we're pleased with the results thus far," the new post from Google reads. The fake post headline said "Google Click-to-Call project cancelled." The copy went on to explain: "Google has decided not to continue with Google Click-to-call project. The project has been in the media on last days because of the notice of Google agreement with eBay. We finally consider click-to-call agreement with eBay a monopolistic approach that would damage small companies in the CRM area."
Google began testing the service in November 2005, and later signed a multiyear contract with eBay for service
through its Internet telephony. Google and eBay in August unveiled a multiyear agreement that makes Google the exclusive provider of text-based advertising outside the United States, and extends both companies' Internet telephony services onto each other's platforms, Google Talk, and Skype Technologies SA., respectively.The fake Google post on Blogger also took one other shot at the search engine giant. It said: the "message has been translated using Google language tools."

The Infinite Disk


The Stardom ST3620-B2 1.5TB Hard Disk Caddy System. We’re not sure what’s more unbelievable. That we’re talking 1.5 terrabytes of storage sitting on your desk, or the fact that it’s all held on removable caddies, which means that you’ve basically got infinite storage next to your elbow. Priced at a mainframe bustin’ £649.99. Good luck backing it up though, eh?
The ST3620-B2 is set up in a JBOD mode. JBOD stands for ‘Just a bunch of disks’, which allows the two disks to be accessed via one USB2.0 lead. The internal hard drives we supply are SATA drives, ensuring that data transfer is blisteringly fast. Because the hard drive in the ST3620 are in removable caddies, if you run out of disk space, you can replace the hard drives with more drives further down the line. In effect then, you can have a limitless storage capacity.
You just keep adding hard drives when you need more space.

Google, A Simple Mistake!

The name "Google"

The name "Google" is a misspelling on the word googol.

Milton Sirotta, nephew of U.S. mathematician Edward Kasner, made this word in 1938, for the number 1 followed by a hundred zeros. It is said that the word "googol" was chosen to represent this number because it sounded like baby talk. Google uses this word because the company wants to organize a very large quantity of information on the Web. Andy Bechtolsheim first thought of the name.

The name for Google's main office, the "Googleplex," is a play on a different, even bigger number, "googolplex," which is 1 with 1 googol zeros.

History

Google began as a research project in early 1996 by Larry Page and Sergey Brin, two Ph.D. (smart) students at Leland Stanford University, USA. They made it into a company, Google Inc., on September 7, 1998 at a friend's garage in Menlo Park, California. In February 1999, the company went to 165 University Ave., Palo Alto, California. Then, later that year, it went to the "Googleplex".

In September 2001, Google's ranking system ("PageRank", for saying which information is more helpful) got a U.S. Patent. The patent was to Leland Stanford University, with Lawrence Page as the inventor (the person who first had the idea)

Using Digg & Netscape to get traffic

Using digg and Netscape to get traffic

In the last couple of months more and more bloggers have been catching onto the power of digg and Netscape. Bloggers have realized that if they get their blog on the homepage of digg or Netscape thousands of visitors will flood into their blog within minutes. So the question is, how can digg and Netscape be leveraged for traffic, and what results can you expect from them?

Submission

Submitting your content/story to digg and Netscape is a good way to start getting some exposure. Once you submit your story people "digg"(vote for) your story if they like it, the more people that "digg" your story the more exposure you will get. At the current moment, with digg you need roughly 51 votes within 24 hours to get to the homepage. Netscape on the other
hand is time based, if you get 10 votes within 10 minutes you will probably get your story on the homepage.

Here are some things that can help get your stories to the
homepage.

  1. Catchy titles and descriptions usually do better then dull titles and descriptions.

  2. Digg and Netscape promote up-to-date information. Stories that contain old news usually don't do as well as fresh news and information.

  3. Stories that benefit readers usually do better, such as how to guides and top 10 lists.

You can try submitting your story to digg and Netscape and see what happens. In many cases you will not make it to the homepage and usually when people naturally submit your stories, it tends to have better results. If you want to increase your chances, you should think about adding digg and Netscape buttons within your blog posts and RSS feeds.

Comments

Most people leverage digg and Netscape by trying to get their story on the homepage, but not too many people leave comments. Both digg and Netscape have a comment feature and if you leave comments with links to your website it can drive hundreds of visitors especially if the story you left a comment on makes it to the homepage. If you decide to leave comments and link to your website, here are some things to keep in mind.

  • Just don't leave comments so you can link to your website. Provide valuable information to the community. If your comment cannot benefit the community then don't leave it.

  • If the link to your website will not benefit the community, then don't link to your website.

  • Try to also link to other related sites within your comments and not just your own website.

  • Most importantly do not spam.

Results

So if you get on the homepage of digg or Netscape, what
should you expect?


If you are looking to boost your traffic you should try to use digg and Netscape, but just be careful and do not try to cheat the system. These sites are community driven as well as based on algorithms so if you attempt to game them, the community will fight back. There has already been some noise about certain high traffic websites getting a good portion of their traffic because of numerous digg homepage stories. Only time will tell how this social news space evolves and how these websites evolve to prevent gaming of their systems.

D-Link's V-Click: an overpriced, rebadged GSM VoIP phone

D-Link's got a so-called new line-up of dual-mode WiFi VoIP / GSM V-Click phones for ya. The big selling point of course, is the ability to quickly toggle between your tri-band 900/1800/1900MHz GSM/GPRS network or unspecified 802.11 WiFi to make low cost VoIP calls.
The magic here is in that "v-click" button along the side which flips the WiFi radio. Once enabled, users can make SIP-based VoIP calls or hit the web over the bundled Opera Mobile browser and 176x220 pixel display. Let's see, same screen, same dimensions, same radios... yup, we're calling it a rebadge.
So are you really going to give D-Link $600 for their logo when it drops in Q1 or pick-up an unlocked, €200/$250 Twin sans contract from your friendly electronics importer? Yeah, thought so.

The Recyclable Wood Roadster from Mercedes-Benz

Recy, the Recyclable Wood Roadster from Mercedes-Benz

This is the first entry into the LA Auto Show's Design Challenge. The competition challenges manufacturers to design a environmental conscious car. None of this vegetable oil powered crap. This car is completely Recyclable because it is made out of wood, alloys, glass and metal. I'm still not sold. Even though it is partially made of wood, does it have a wood grain finish?

First mobile handset capable of reading books

LG Electronics, the world's fourth-largest cell phone vendor, has added another compelling feature to the mobile handset- reading books for the visually impaired.The Seoul-based company yesterday started marketing the model, the LF1300, through LG Telecom, the country's smallest wireless operator; at around 400,000 won ($425).Only the blind, visually impaired and dyslexic can buy the talking phone after presenting a government certificate at sales outlets of LG Telecom. The LG LF1300 is the world's first mobile handset that is capable of reading books for the print-disabled, who otherwise could not enjoy them. Users of the gadget can download approximately 300 audio books from the Internet site of LG Sangam Library to their handsets in two ways- free of charge.


Beside its unique feature of
reading books, the16-millimeter sleek -thick gizmo LG LF1300 features an MP3 player and a Bluetooth headset. The user interface of the LF1300 is also customized for the blind, enabling handset users to control it through a voice guidance system.

Asustek Shows Concept Laptop With Secondary Display



Asustek takes a cue from cellphones, showing off this concept laptop with a secondary display on the outside, letting you give get a quick peek at your e-mail, check your schedule or see what's playing on the MP3 player without having to open it up. J

ust think of it: now you can check your e-mail on your laptop while it rides the conveyor belt through those impregnable security scanners that are protecting us from the terrorists.
Asus tech showed the notebook at the Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco, and that they're not the only ones—Acer and Mitac Technologies are also reportedly jumping on the secondary display notebook bandwagon.

If the big boys take notice, this could become a standard feature in the near future. – Charlie WhiteAsustek presents notebook with "second display" design [DigiTimes]

'Tower of Babel' technology nears

The problem of compatibility between wireless devices is being addressed at an international conference this week.
Scientists will be discussing what has been dubbed "Tower of Babel" technology - software that can converge different wireless gadgets into a single device.
The aim for Software Defined Radio (SDR) is to be able to translate and understand any kind of radio wave signal, such as 3G or wi-fi.
Researchers say SDR gadgets could become commonplace in five to 10 years.

With software defined radio all you need is one thing that can do the job of all of these devices
Francis Kinsella, EADS Astrium


Dr David Ndzi from the University of Portsmouth, where the International Conference on Telecommunications and Computers is being held, said: "SDR is what one could call a Tower of Babel-type technology, in that wireless devices that previously understood only one or a few languages, or standards, will suddenly be able to talk to each other freely regardless of frequency or conflicting protocols."
European space firm EADS-Astrium will be talking to delegates about its research in this emerging field.
Francis Kinsella, a specialist engineer from the company, said: "If you were to go on a hill-walking trip, you might have a walkie-talkie to talk to friends who are not far away, a mobile in case of emergency, GPS, a Bluetooth connection and even a laptop or PDA with a wireless LAN connection.
"Every single one of these things is a radio, and they are all slightly different. But in the future, with Software Defined Radio, all you need is one thing that can do the job of all of these devices."
Convergence

The idea behind SDR is that an aerial in the device picks up radio signals passing through the air waves.
An analogue-to-digital converter transforms this signal into a digital format, which can be understood and manipulated by software onboard the device.

Currently, most devices rely on hardware, rather than software, to get at the information in radio signals.
EADS-Astrium is about to launch its first SDR product, a piece of kit to be used by the military that can convert different kinds of signals, but Mr Kinsella said it was still an emerging technology.
He said two main limitations have held SDR back: the speed at which analogue-to-digital converters turn radio waves into numbers, and computer power.
"But," he said, "we have advances in both of those areas that could really mean an explosion in the next five to 10 years for SDR."
He said that the military had driven advances in the technology but the eventual benefits could be felt by consumers. The technology could even prove essential in emergency situations.
EADS-Astrium is currently working on a portable van, which has a satellite link, GSM, and wi-fi capabilities to be deployed during emergencies, such as in the aftermath of natural disasters. He said the ideal would be to add SDR to the van. The next stage, said Mr Kinsella, would be what is termed "cognitive radio", a technology that has the same capabilities as SDR but also searches for and exploits bandwidth that is not being used.

Unpatched PowerPoint Flaw Under Attack

A flaw in Microsoft Powerpoint
Microsoft's summer-long struggle to lock down gaping holes in its Office software suite has once again escalated with the discovery of a new zero-day attack targeting PowerPoint users.
ADVERTISEMENT
The Redmond, Wash., software maker confirmed reports from anti-virus vendors that another round of "extremely limited attacks" is exploiting a previously unknown PowerPoint vulnerability.
The e-mail-borne attack, which uses rigged .ppt attachments, is being used to plant a Trojan dropper on infected Windows machines.
According to an advisory from Symantec, the malicious file injects itself into several computer processes and uses rootkit techniques to hide its files and process.
It opens a back door and connects to Web sites hosted at the 6600.org and 9966.org domains, allowing a malicious hacker full control of the target machine.
The file names of the rigged PowerPoint files are "FinalPresentationF05.ppt," and "2006-Jane.ppt," according to Symantec's alert.
The tactics appear identical to a recent wave of zero-day PowerPoint exploits that experts believe are linked to corporate espionage in the Far East.
Symantec said the targeted attack could be used to perform network reconnaissance, search for files, download and upload files, create and remove folders, execute commands or update registry entries.
McAfee, an anti-virus software vendor in Santa Clara, Calif., said the exploit was aimed at "a single target," further confirming that the recent exploits against Microsoft Office users are part of well-targeted attacks.
A spokesperson for Microsoft said the company's investigation has concluded that the vulnerability affects users of Microsoft Office 2000, Microsoft Office 2003 and Microsoft Office XP.

"In order for this attack to be carried out, a user must first open a malicious Microsoft PowerPoint document that is sent as an e-mail attachment or otherwise provided to them by an attacker," the spokesperson said.
He said Microsoft is aware of an attack scenario that involves malware known as "Win32/Controlppt.W" and "Win32/Controlppt.X," and has added detection and removal signatures to its free Windows Live OneCare safety scanner.

Logitech unleashes '2nd gen' wireless headphones


We told you about how Logitech's FreePulse Wireless Headphones flew through the FCC approval process with their improved Bluetooth 2.0 specs (3x faster, lower power consumption, simplified multi-link), and now they're officially out in the open for all to see.

We're just hoping this Bluetooth 2.0 spec performs better than most of the Bluetooth 1.x gear we've been testing lately, which can undoubtedly be temperamental. Try your luck for a hundred bucks, available next month.
