Don’t Allow This Stupid Mistake To Lose Your Page Rank

May 22, 2008

Image via Wikipedia

Yesterday I discovered how your website can play “ugly” game with you, along with search engines. These all addresses search engines are seeing like a different URLs, no matter they open the same page:

http://example.com

http://example.com/

http://example.com/index.html

http://www. example.com
http://www. example.com/
http://www. example.com/index.htm

If you or other people are linking to your Internet site using a diversity from these similar URL’s, you’ll not only be thinning PR(Page-Rank) on your site, but in addition to that you’ll suffer the risk of having your content marked as duplicate. Once Google sees all the multiple versions of your domain name their spiders examines which page to rank, and all the rest directs into the supplemental index.

WordPress back up

May 16, 2008

Just a quick reminder on securing a WordPress blog. I think its important to back up the blog from time to time. And there is no need to prolong it, because backing up WordPress is so easy and it takes only few seconds, with just three clicks: manage-export-download export file (see picture below). And that’s it. Save it to comp, and if something unpredictable happen, your all blog posts are on your comp. Especially do this before upgrading to newer WordPress version.

Speed up Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer With Google Web Accelerator

May 10, 2008

Google Web accelerator will speed up your Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer browsers. It will not work for other browsers.

Google

When you say Google, you first think on google search engine. Logical. But there is so much behind this simple white web page with just one search bar. As you probably know you can explore google maps, google videos, google images, use Google Talk and Google mail, but please don’t stop here with google. You can go much further.

In a minute, I’ll tell you how you can speed up your Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer using simple Google program.

Mozilla

Google is only a half of the story here. If you are not using Mozilla Firefox, than consider switching to. Mozilla is proven and reliable. Here is just one feature I much like at Mozilla, which is not available at Internet Explorer. If you close accidentally your browser, you will be able to restore your session. At Internet Explorer you can not do that. Period. And there is more cool Mozilla features, but let’s focus on the topic.

Here is where you can get the Google Web Accelerator program. Just watch the video. And pay attention on video topic, because you will not be able to play youtube, rever or google videos if you don’t disable in that particular moment.

Get this: Google Web accelerator

Bottom line is that you should not expect miracle, but it will make the difference and make your Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer faster.

It is not working at Firefox 3.

blog anonymously, hide your identity and stay safe

May 8, 2008

Image via Wikipedia

Why would you blog anonymously, hiding your name and anything what relates to you? This is for some special occasions.

Let’s say you live in the country with autocratic political regime, and authorities are pretty ruthless to every type of resistance and everyone who has bad words to actual regime. And you do not want to expose too much private data while blogging.

Above all, you really want your country to become better and opened to the world with more freedom for people. And the truth is that you persistently want to help people who are fighting against brutal regime. Regimes can be more or less brutal, but lets say you are dealing here with considerable ruthless one, and further more you are sick of watching glutton and lust people who are close to government and regime, and on the other hand people leaving hard in agony and even poverty.

And reality is that you are a blogger, and your weapons are your computer, blog platform and content of what you have to say. With blogging you want to help resistance and to expend the word and that way include more people in fight. Blogging for freedom. But, lets just for example, say that you have a friend who also was blogging about corruption and regime evilness, but few posts latter police came on the door and took him away. Few months later he is out of jail but he has changed drastically, don’t talk much, and he don’t want to fight anymore and blogging on that subject is not an option further. You are angry.

So let me ask you, are you the one who will persist here? But the bottom line here is how to blog anonymously.

I have read an interesting article on this subject which shows you how to hide yourself on the internet, outlining several methods for blogging anonymously:

using pseudonyms

public computers

anonymous proxies

MixMaster, Invisiblog and GPG

This list is an extract from Zuckerman’s article on this topic. And i suggest you read it and find how is hard to stay anonymous online. Even applying this you have to be more technical to be sure you hide yourself if you want that. The article is showing through example where character Sarah who works in a government sees deputy minister is stealing large amounts of money from the government. She was afraid to reveal that. Even if she hide her name on blog they can find her IP adress. And to the difference of my example it can happen in any country.

Cool Online Game-Fruit Frenzy

May 4, 2008

I am playing Fruit Frenzy for an hour and I can not stop! Fruit Frenzy is the most popular online game at uVme. Reports are saying that, from the February, this game has been played more than million times. I am not particularly skillful in this game, but I have to confess it is very cool online game. My best score is 546.610. Huh not so impressive if I have in mind that I have been beaten by scores of 800.000 and 900.000.

The aim of the Fruit Frenzy game is to score more points than your opponent. Wow, what an aim. Ok, ok…. by creating combination of three or more related fruits in a row (either horizontally or vertically). Now you get it.

You swap two fruits and that way you are finding combination to sink ice cubes. Make multiple combination to receive bonus scores. See 30 sec video.

You see, by cleaning the board of all ‘ice blocks’ (‘frosted’ fruit squares) you are proceeding to the next level of this game.

Off course, you have to be fast. Andale! Andale! Arriba! Arriba!
So, watch the timer. You have less time to clean the board as levels advance! At the video clip you can see that this game is easy and simple, but as well enjoyable and addictive.

Back to the game basic summary:

* Swap any two fruits on the board to create combinations of three or more related fruits.
* Clean all ‘ice blocks’ to continue to the next level.
* Close the level ahead time runs out.
* Final game score is aggregation of created combining and time bonus.

You can choose to play as a free online game or make it more interesting – take challenge for small amount of money (from half to 4 dollars). The winner is taking the prize. I am inviting you to play free online games here or even to play for prizes.
