Opaque world of Google

How do you value the content of your web page? Netizens could have infinite number of approaches to that idea. There would be data in the best book on rhetoric, to phrase and rephrase your articles, in a manner that the web browsers would find simple, humble and informative for his queries. An article thus produced, contented in a manner suiting the web, finds a few advertisements to its credit and hangs around with Google ad sense. You think that the process could be that simple, but I feel on the contrary. You waste time perfecting your content which finally dissolves in the sea of search with you ending up struggling to keep afloat. What I mean shall need a bit of explanation; the logic shall appear convincing, yet hard to believe, but not without a reason.

Erase your memory and let’s start from the point where the trouble originated; let’s start from the fabulous foyers of the opaque world of Google and its algorithms which has now become the pinnacle of men’s effort to reach the stars. I bet you would frown at the thought of your folly.

Thieving on keywords

It’s the game of codes. Google ad sense has codes created in each web page to insert content specific advertisements. When you click these ads, Google smiles for the way which it has earned. A portion of these earnings goes to the publishers of these ads. That means, as a publisher you could linger around freely making money without competition if you have got the brains for it. What shall be important would be the key words you use for the contents. The highest paid keywords properly grouped and placed inside a less informative content on any topic would, as the machine brain does, attract all the related ads from Google ad sense. It would just require a willing individual to collect or steal as many as junk articles as possible, regroup the keywords and put it in any site that he wishes to earn for. The rest shall be left for Google.

Impression Crap

Does Google respond to this? If it indeed does, your search for a key word would have been more profitable. But then of late net search through Google has become a tedious as well as less fruitful an operation. Maybe because Google finds it hard to convince the lot that has herded behind them, the most successful search engine, or probably it doesn’t want to correct itself. If that’s the case, then there shall be just one alternative left to us clients; to take it the hard way; to keep it impressed in mind that majority of the contents in Google search result is but crap, and if by Gods grace, we have a lucky day, we would surely cross one where a genuine writer has poured his sweat and blood.

I stumbled across the site http://www.organicspam.com and found something for the webmasters to rely upon; fighting against the supreme monopoly of the search engines. Everybody can come together and Raise Your Voice against them.

About the author: How do I know these things? Because Google has been open about what they are looking for. These are not theories based on observations; these are things that Google has discussed openly through employees, at conferences, through the tools they offer us. Unfortunately many webmasters simply do not want to listen.

How To Manage Your Business Projects Effectively

Monday, January 29th, 2007

One of the certain aspects of working life is that unexpectedly you can be assigned a project to do. In fact if you are building a business of your own you will have long-term projects that are essential to its profitable development.

But in order to ensure the smooth and successful running of your business it’s vital to have efficient systems in place to deal with these projects. Most of them will have deadlines for completion at some point in the future. But it is how you deal with these deadlines that will determine how efficient you are at managing your business.

The simple thing to do is to schedule the project in your diary for perhaps a few days before the completion date, even if it is several weeks away. This is a big mistake!

In order to effectively control your time you should be in the habit of using lists to plan your working days. Each day you should have a daily task list of the things that must be done. Anything new that comes in during the day should normally be put onto your list for the following day. Only the genuine things that can’t wait until tomorrow should be added to the list to do the same day.

So as soon as you are given a project to deal with you must put an item to start it on your must do list for the next day. That item will be to simply write a checklist for the project. You must do this or else you will find that as the deadline approaches you have to put off other important tasks in order to get the project completed. Then all of the good habits you have developed in using lists to manage your time will be to no avail.

So when the next day arrives one of your must do tasks will be to write your project checklist. This must contain dates for completing each part of your project. The plan should be to finish it well before the deadline so that you can allocate time if need be for any last minute revisions.

Break the project down into smaller parts and set dates in your diary for doing each of them. Each one should go into your diary the day before you are going to do it so that you can include the task on your daily task list for the following day. That way you are still going to retain effective control over how you use your time and keep in place an efficient management system. You should also be sure to include dates for regular checks on progress and make any adjustments as necessary. That way you will remain in control of the time-frame for the project.

In effectively managing any project there a number of key elements that must be included. The following gives a summary of what they are:

Define the task. It is essential that you write clearly what has to be done and what the end result must be.

Make a plan. Decide step by step what needs to be done and break it down into smaller parts. Then schedule dates for the completion of the individual tasks that will make up the whole project.

Allocate work and resources - Ensure that you know what has to be done at each stage, what resources you will need , and whether other people are to be involved in doing some of the work. If you are to delegate any of the work it is important that you give the other people involved sufficient time to complete it. They will need to be able to manage their part of the project in exactly the same way that you are, so be sure to give them clear instructions and with enough advance notice. Also ensure that the time-scales for their work are in line with the other project tasks. You want to make sure that you are not waiting for completed work by someone else at the point when you need to move onto the next part of your plan.

Put in place controls to ensure the pace of the work and its quality. You must set standards which must be adhered to and so you must have a way of monitoring them.

Regularly check performance against the plan - It is essential that part of the process is to have regular reviews of progress measured against the plan. Where others are working on specific tasks it is vital to give them feedback on their contribution.

Adjust the plan as necessary to ensure completion by setting a completion date ahead of the actual deadline you should always have the time and flexibility to make any adjustments that become necessary and still get the project completed on time.

Work in this way and all of your projects will get completed in an efficient manner and will slot in smoothly with your existing effective management systems. You will keep control of all the work that you have to do and so ensure that your business remains on track to making the profits you desire.

Internet Explorer 7 vs Mozilla Firefox

Monday, January 29th, 2007

So there I was, sitting there looking at my yahoo home page for the hundredth time. It was telling me….no, it was begging me, to download the new Internet Explorer 7 with the built in yahoo search bar. It was too perfect, an upgraded browser with the search bar built right in. I was already using the add-on yahoo tool bar that you can download separately. But this looked so much easier. I could have the search bar WITHOUT the rest of the yahoo toolbar, and that would save a little space on my monitor. I could just type in my keyword at the top, and all would be well.

Or so I thought.

Then I downloaded it, and tried to use it. This is where the anger began. To be honest, I knew better. I have been using Windows since 3.1 was out. I have gone through the nightmare of the new software that spends the next 12 months crashing computers, freezing browsers, getting hacked, and just making people want to punch a hole in a wall. I knew better than to download an upgrade that was brand new.

Everything slowed down. I couldn’t download, my yahoo email wasn’t working, and pretty much every site was snail pace.

But it was ok I thought to myself. I would just go into my control panel and uninstall. But before I uninstall, I better make a backup of all my favorite sites. Wait a minute, what happened to my favorites folder? Where did it go? Seriously, if anyone who reads this knows what happened to the file with my favorites, let me know. I can’t find the thing anywhere now. I can still get to my favorites on the browser, but I can’t find the actual folder on the computer to back them up now. It has been months now and I still haven’t found the folder.

So if I can’t back up my favorites, how do I get rid of version 7 without loosing them. I was certain that I was sunk. I would either risk loosing them when I uninstall, or I am reduced to surfing like I am on one of those dial-up modems from the mid-nineties.

Then it hit me. I would check out Mozilla Firefox. Worse case, I could use IE to check all my favorites, and then go to those sites in Firefox, and save them in the new favorites. Well, I didn’t even have to work that hard. When I was installing Firefox, it asked me if I wanted to keep all of my history and favorites. Simple enough, don’t have to go through all that work now. Bonus.

As it turned out, Firefox also had a search bar installed in it, this one by Google. This was convenient because I was studying how to advertise websites and blogs using Google. Now I could search Google without going to the site. I also noticed that Firefox uses the tabs that I saw on IE 7. Then something else hit me. Firefox had tabs at the top so that you could search multiple sites without having to open up new browser windows and it had the Google search bar. IE 7, which was making me angry, had the same tabs and a search bar from yahoo. IE 7 was a rip-off of Mozilla Firefox, and a bad one that screws with your processor.

So now I use Firefox, and I won’t go back to Explorer. In fact, I don’t even like using other computers now because IE is still on everyone else’s computer. Not only is it faster than IE 7, but it is also faster than the older IE 6 which wasn’t screwing with my computer at the time.
