New Vertical Format in Google

2008-10-12T09:55:00.000-07:00

Google News is testing a new vertical format which seems to be reminiscent of Yahoo One Search and more of a mobile device driven format than the usual Newspaper style spread Google News usually delivers on the PC. Ugly as sin as this Google News layout is, there may be some reasons behind it.
Notice the Featured Stories and a Featured Photo to the right, with Popular and Interesting Stories listed in a Blogroll type setting down the right side of the new Google News. Unlike the traditional Google News, this new layout forces the user to scroll way down the page to view the interesting vertical news of the day, which may be an attempt to drive lazy Google News readers like myself to customize my personalized Google News a bit more.

Internet Connection

2008-07-06T07:59:00.000-07:00

I use ADSL internet connection for several months to access the internet. ADSL is Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line, a data communications technology that enables faster data transmission over copper telephone lines. One reason why I use ADSL because i subscribed fixed line and it use copper line. Access speed use ADSL is very good and the provider will increase speed up to 1 Mbps. I subscribed volume based and get 1 Gb per month for abut $ 11. For interface between computer and telephone line use an ADSL modem. To connect modem with computer use LAN Card.

With several modem setting we can connect with the internet and browse everything in the internet. But be attention, if over limit it will be get more charge.

Who Else Wants A Successful Internet Business Summary :

Discover some important things to know about starting an Internet business. How to make sure you spend money wisely and give your customers the best value for their money.

-----
Who Else Wants A Successful Internet Business by Karl Sultana

Traffic and website conversion can bring loads of money. You want targeted visitors, that are looking exactly for what you are selling. You want to sell something which has a huge demand. That is quite obvious.

You want your website to convert those visitors into customers, which means all the traffic you get will either go into your autoresponder or they buy what you are selling. It can be both too. Getting traffic can be expensive, so if you are going to spend a lot of money on traffic generation, then you better improve on your website conversion first.

Hiring a copywriter, is one of the best methods to convert more of your traffic into customers.

You do this once but it has a lifetime value.

The best copywriters are not cheap, but they provide the best copy. That is your best option.

Remember your goal should not be to get a customer so you make a sale. Your goal is to make a sale so you get a customer. A customer has a lifetime value, not just one sale. It sounds quite easy to understand.

The more value you give to the customer, the more money you will make. If your goal is to get a customer it also means to give that customer as much value as you can. If you are trying to get a customer just to make a sale, then your customer gets little value and you make one sale only.

This all means, on the Internet you need to create a business. That is how you make a ton of money. Not just a way to make that sale, but a way to create a lot of products, services or both of them to give as much value as you can. The more you give, the more you receive.

Even though an Internet business requires a lot of work, if you want to be realistic, but it is fun. Sometimes you learn more from your failers, because you try hard to understand what went wrong. So, it is normal to fail and it is good, that is how you learn and grow. On the Internet, it is good idea to keep learning but enjoy what you do at the same time.

There is no need to take this seriously and ultimately your customers what to be entertained not educated.

Most of your customers subscribe to your list to get some motivation. Certainly if you try to teach them they get bored. If you try to sell them, they unsubscribe. Your best option is to keep it fun, teach them something but not giving them all you have, otherwise they do not need to buy your products.

Internet marketers are probably the ones that spend the most money online. So if you have spent a lot of money, it is normal. Everyone does that, some of the money is wasted, other is used wisely and so on. And remember, starting an Internet business is not expensive and obviously far less cheaper then if you want to start an off line business.

Once it is time to get traffic, start seo but, use Karl Sultanas software OutRankSmart and discover how to improve search engine ranking in record time.

5 Good Reasons For Using Yahoogroups To Start Your Own Ezine

2007-03-29T07:26:00.000-07:00

Computer & Internet
List servers and list serving software can be a TOTAL NIGHTMARE. Trust me, I know ...

If you are new to Internet Marketing, or just new to the way of web business, and there's all these other things to learn and think about, there are five VERY good reasons to leave commercial list serving software systems alone for now and simply use a Yahoogroup to do all the work for you.

1. EVERYBODY Knows ...

... what a Yahoogroup is, and even if they don't, they'll soon pick it up. By using Yahoogroups, you are tapping into a long, long established institution that is globally known and trusted; this will make it much easier to get people who don't really know you yet to subscribe to your ezine or newsletter.

2. Yahoogroups are very easy.

Even for absolute beginners, Yahoogroups are easy to set up and easy to manage. You don't have to worry about the vagaries of AOL emails, double opt in procedures, anti-spam declarations, unsubscription features or any of it, it's all taken care of for you. They also come with little sign up boxes and buttons, and the admin interface, although not exactly intuitive, can soon be worked out by trial and error.

3. Yahoogroups messages don't get caught in spam filters.

Spam filters are the SCOURGE of ezines and email delivery. When you send your messages via the Yahoogroups delivery system, this is not a problem; as Yahoo is such a mega beast, it has its own exceptions in mostly all spam filters known to mankind and your messages WILL at least reach their intended recipients.

4. Yahoogroups have useful extra features.

Discover How To Easily Optimize Windows For Better Performance

2007-02-03T17:52:00.001-08:00

“My system is too slow.”
“Look how much time it takes to install things.”
“My system slows down while playing games.”
“My software doesn’t function correctly.”

These are some very common statements uttered by PC owners. You might be among one of these. Well if you are, here are some basic tips which can help you optimize the performance of your system by optimization of your operating system.

Windows system optimization is the most basic tool which can maintain the performance of your system. You might be spending hours trying to adjust your CMOS settings, RAM frequency and even the registry setting of the windows. Well its time, you use some windows providing optimization tools for better performance of your system.

Disk Errors
Disk errors are most commonly prevalent in a majority of computer systems. And this is the most overlooked problem even by computer professionals. You often escape the disk error scanning which pops up after a bad shutdown. Well if you keep on escaping the disk error scanning, chances are that your hard disk would develop bad sectors. These bad sectors would initially hamper the proper functioning of your system and then can even lead to hard disk crash.

You should make sure that you allow the disk error scanning option to run and correct any of the disk errors on your hard disk. Once in a week you should also go for the thorough scan disk option which scans the hard disk for errors and corrects them. You should check all the partitions of your hard drive. You can access this option by right clicking on your hard drive partitions and selecting scan disk from the tools options.

Temporary File Cleanup
Cleaning the temp folder in your windows is very essential to get rid of all the unwanted files. These files are the left-overs of the programs which you have uninstalled from the system or other unwanted files. If you do not delete the contents of this temporary folder, the files could gather up to 100 MB of practically no use. You should delete these files as it would help in saving the hard disk as well. To delete these files select the Run option and type %temp% and press O.K. After it displays all the files, select all and delete them.

If you browse the internet with the help of explorer, the temporary cache files should be deleted from the temporary internet folder as well.

Defragmentation
Files which are stored randomly on your system tend to slow down its performance. Your system looks for the fragments of randomly distributed files from everywhere and eventually become slow. To bring back all the files of all programs together, use the windows de-fragmentation tool. This tool joins all the loose files and optimizes the performance of your window.

The Paging File
The paging file is widely known as the windows virtual memory file. This file is used by the system when the windows run short of the actual RAM. Windows keeps on increasing and decreasing the size of the page file, which in itself is not very efficient. This affects the accessibility of fragmentation of your files. You should rather define your own paging size. Select the minimum and maximum size of the virtual memory to be the same. A preferable size is about the double the RAM you have.

By following these basic windows optimization methods you can maintain a good performance of your system.

Choosing Domain Names for Your Business

2007-02-03T17:17:00.000-08:00

Let's say that you're creating a website for Barb's Specialty Pet Products. Should the domain name be barbsspecialtypetproducts.com?

Perhaps -- but don't stop there. Having the right domain name, or domain names, can bring more traffic to your site.

Why more than one domain name?

One domain is all you need to set up a website. But with more domains directing to your site, you can have these additional benefits:

- Bring site visitors who type variations of your domain name

- Acquire traffic that might otherwise go to your competition

- Harness the marketing power of keyword domains

Your primary domain name

If it's feasible, use your business or brand name in your primary domain. People will remember it and associate it with your business. Also consider the following factors when choosing your primary domain.

Domain name extensions

Should your primary domain end with .com, .net, or .biz, or with a country-specific extension such as .ca or .co.uk?

If your website is aimed at people in a specific country, having a country-specific domain can help:

- Site visitors will recognize right away that the business has a presence in the country of the extension. They may therefore be more comfortable buying from you.

- Some country-specific search results include sites with the relevant country-specific domain extension even if the site isn't hosted in that country.

On the other hand, if you're targeting an international audience, a country-specific domain could work against you. People from outside the country of the extension may be less inclined to buy if the business looks foreign to them.

If you want to attract both people within your country and those in other countries, have both. Each domain could direct to the same site, with each audience seeing the domain intended for them. For country-specific search results, the primary domain should be the country-specific one.

Chances are that the .com domain you want is already taken. If you use the .net or .biz version, you risk having potential site visitors go to your .com competition instead. Be sure to use the full domain name on all promotional material to reduce this risk.

Domain name length

A short domain is easier to remember, it has less risk of being mistyped, and it'll fit easily on your business cards and correspondence.

Conversely, if a short name doesn't represent your business, it's more difficult for people to remember. The short names you like may already be taken anyway.

If your business name is up to three easy-to-spell words, it'll probably work as a domain name. For a longer business name, the initials or just one or two words may be easier than remembering a combination of words.

Secondary domain names

Secondary domains directing to your site are for online use:

- For people who type your primary domain name incorrectly

- For people who search for your products or services online

Typing and spelling variations

How many ways can people spell and type your business name?

barbsspecialtypetproducts.com

barbs-specialty-pet-products.com

barbspecialtypetproducts.com

barbsspecialitypetproducts.com

barbsspecialitypetproducts.com

barbspecialtyproducts.com

barbspecialtyproduct.com

Hyphens aren't recommended for your primary domain. When people tell others about your site, they're likely to omit the hyphens. They may also forget to type them.

For secondary domains, hyphens make long domains easier to read. Each word stands out when people see your domain. However, domains such as buy-keyword-product-now.com make some people view hyphenated domains, especially those with more than one hyphen, as spam-like.

Having the words in domains separated may help some search engines recognize keywords. With Google, though, hyphens don't make any difference.

Consider all of these variations for secondary domain names:

- With and without hyphens

- Different ways of spelling some words

- Singular and plural versions of nouns

- Extensions with .com and .net as well as a country-specific extension if relevant

What people search for

If you want to find the website for Time magazine, you might do a search for it, or you might try typing in time.com. If you do the latter, you'll find yourself at the Time site.

This type of search behavior extends to generic words too. Searching for dog collars? Try dogcollar.com, for example, and you'll be redirected to dogidcollar.com. Do you want life insurance? Lifeinsurance.com redirects to nmfn.com (and so does northwesternmutualfinancialnetwork.com).

While having keyword domain names may not draw a lot of site visitors, using them is a technique to consider.

How to use more than one domain

Set up your website with your primary domain, and use that domain on your correspondence and with your customers.

Point secondary domains to your site using URL forwarding (also called domain forwarding, domain redirect, or URL redirect). To have the secondary domain appear in the browser, use domain masking. You can set up these features when you log in to your account with your domain registrar (if your registrar offers these services).

With domains that are simply variations of your primary domain, you can expect additional traffic just from having set up these domains. With domains that contain keywords, you can get more from them by using them to list your site in online directories. When these domains appear in search results, searchers will see the keywords.

The next step

Once you decide on the available domains that you want, register them immediately. They might not be available tomorrow.

If you don't already have a business name, you'll find it easier to market your business online if you choose a primary domain and a business name together. If your first choice for a business name doesn't work well with any available domains, consider a business name that you can easily market with an available domain. Once you've registered that domain name and your business name, register secondary domains and put them to use.

Is it worth registering multiple domains for one site? That depends on your site, but any variations that you don't register will be available for competitors to register and use. If a domain is valuable to a competitor, it's valuable to you.
