Hello everyone!
It's been a long time since I posted here few months ago because I am a very busy man right now. So I'm going to discuss on how internet is for better or worse? What comes into our mind when we are using the internet. There are basic things that we look forward to when we use the internet:
* For researching purposes
* For SEO (search engine optimization)
* To make money online
* For business purposes
* To make new friends online
* To play games
* To accept payments online
But what about those things that are worse in the internet?
* To spam
* Using blackhat SEO method
* To hack other's identity (passwords, full information, bank account)
* To spread malware and other forms of viruses
* To plagiarize other's eBook and articles
If you have the opportunity to choose which among them is truly legitimate and very useful in the internet right now. Even grade school children can understand when they read this article of mine. So is the internet for better or for worse? Definitely it's both, because it can be used for good and bad purposes, but when you are bad like a thief or a devil, don't ever use the internet or even stop playing around the computer itself, or else your computer might get destroyed as well.
So please use the internet in a better way, not on the worse way. :)

I have noticed on many blogs that there are actually spam comments that are spreading and invading tons of blogs that exist right now. Most of the spammers in my own thoughts are using some form of blasting software that can blast spam comments to random blogs whether appropriate or inappropriate. Their strategy is to automate their detail insertions like name, location, e-mail, URL and the body of the comment that says "Nice post. Keep it coming", or "Thank you".
Blasting softwares in the internet right now are just making profits from the spammers who are buying their software just to do the "Black Hat" thing. But according to my friend, it was not recommended and the success rate was less than 30% to 40% when you submit your links to those blogs. Most of the blogs right now are setting them under moderation or it needs them to register when posting a comment, along with their supporting link.
As for one of my friends, he has a blog and he noticed at least four to five comments a day, 90% of them were spam and stupid type of comments. He didn't mark it as spam, instead he immediately trash it. However, he still allows anonymous users to comment on his blog posts. But then, starting next week he will change his settings to let them register first before writing a comment.
You cannot outsmart the owners of the blogs you would like to spam, because they're always been notified when someone commented or registered in your blog. Blasting spam comments using software is not good, it's better if you do it manually and in a hard way. Right now, I'm no longer using a software, instead I do this manually.

If you think you want your site to be loved by search engines like Google, is it really possible? We'll, study shows that Web 2.0 sites are now being loved by Google because they made them prove that their Web 2.0 site is SEO friendly. SEO friendly sites like Web 2.0, web directories, social media and social bookmarks are being loved by Google for a long time.
So how can our site be loved by Google?
* Blogs and eCommerce sites are not really loved by Google. They can be spammed around the other do-follow sites and other Web 2.0 properties, with suspicious keywords to promote and compete in the Google search results. We use Web 2.0 sites as a start since on the search results, Web 2.0 sites are mostly on the top of the mountain.
* Create unique content and show Google that you are the original author of the content.
* Make your website or blog look attractive. Wordpress, Blogger, Joomla or Drupal are the best portals for you to make it attractive by installing widgets, ads, etc.
* Do SEO in a white hat way. For Web 2.0 sites, they can be applied both white hat and black hat way because they are just feeders. But in order to be safe from being suspicious, make use of white hat techniques.
* Be original to yourself. If you think you know what it means, you know what to do than just being a copy cat.
So I think you already learned on how Google loves our website. Just make them proud that you deserved to be a real legitimate SEO specialist like anybody else. As for me, I want Google to be forever loved for my own blog.

I have been using Internet Explorer nowadays since I am in college, whem my dad bought me a computer and an internet connection on that day. I am using Internet Explorer just for researching purposes, and sometimes for following up my social network and media accounts like Facebook and Friendster. When I use Internet Explorer, sometimes it does not satisfy me at all because of it's limited features and tools.
I continued browsing all over the internet until one of my friends talked to me about Firefox. So what is Mozilla Firefox anyway? This is a revolutionized internet browser with lots of tools that I can install, especially SEO tools like my favorite Seoquake and Stumble toolbar. It was very comfortable to deal with and I have no choice but to switch into Mozilla Firefox immediately.
My dad wondered why I switched from Internet Explorer to Mozilla Firefox? I explain it to him and he understood that this has more benefits than Internet Explorer. I am also interested on SEO because this is the main reason why webmasters gain a lot of customers and revenue in their websites, eCommerce or blogs. I have also tried NetScape and Safari before, but I don't like either of them. So right now I'm using Mozilla Firefox.
I also installed the NoDoFollow tool which is a Firefox extension tool which is important to me, for determining websites and links who are do-follow and who are no-follow. It can easily be detected by activating it and you can see "blue highlighted links" as do-follow, and "red highlighted links" as no-follow. Another tool I used right now is the Seoquake toolbar. Everytime I visit a website, it automatically gives me numbers like Page Rank, Alexa, Google/Yahoo/Bing index, internal and external links, etc.
Mozilla Firefox has a bigger role on SEO than any other internet browsers like Internet Explorer, NetScape, Safari, Opera and Google Chrome because it's reliable and I'm allowed to install toolbars as much as I want. Not only for SEO, but I also enjoying it while watching Youtube videos, chatting with friends on Facebook and other social networking sites. Think about it guys, if you need SEO tools on your browser or for other purposes, Mozilla Firefox is the best thing here.

Why do you think about Bing? How can we say that Bing will dominate the internet? Do you think they're doing this because they give you outstanding tools, results and updates? Or their services are not amusing at all? Bing! Bing! Bing! Here comes the Bing! They totally want to dominate the internet, but there's a problem anyway.
Google is on the top and they're way too far than Yahoo and Bing. Bing is trying to make a plan in order to dominate Google and Yahoo in the internet. But they will do it in an idiot way. On these past few months, there are some controversies that Bing will crush Google.
WHAT? Are you kidding me? We'll their words are completely harsh for Google, which they are making alternative plans for it. They are making a deal with the big time webmasters who uses Google for SEO, to de-index themselves in exchange of big cash.
Oh really? Big cash, huh? How much is it? Huge money just to get out of Google? Are you kidding me for being such a Bing out there? I can say you're a total piece of crap! Don't you know that search engines are very useful no matter where you are independently like Altavista, Dogpile, Baidu, etc.? De-index with Google is a huge mistake for you.
Don't try to be tempted with Bing. Google is already big and most webmasters need it for their own business and earning revenue through their tools like Adsense, Adwords, Analytics, etc. Bing also has their MSN adCenter but I think getting backlinks to Bing is very difficult than Google and Yahoo.
So I will tell this straight to you Bing, you will never win against Google! If you do this in a blackhat or evil way, you're already filling up the heat. Just do your own business there and not jeopardizing others to de-index with Google.

Has it ever happened to you to have a perfectly optimized site with lots of links and content and the right keyword density and still do not rank high in search engines? Probably every SEO has experienced this. The reasons for such kind of failure can be really diverse? While there is not much you can do about the sandbox effect but wait, in most other cases it is up to you to counteract the negative effects you are suffering from. You just need to figure out what is stopping you from achieving the deserved rankings. Careful analysis of your site and the sites that link to you can give you ideas where to look for for the source of trouble and deal with it.
Avoid bad neighbors by linking very wisely
It is a known fact that one of the most important items for high rankings, especially with Google, are links. The Web is woven out of links and inbound and outbound links are most natural.
Why there are sites having bad neighbors around?
We have already mentioned in this article some of the practices that are a reason for search engines to ban particular sites. But they are not only limited to being a spam domain. Companies get blacklisted generally, because they try to boost their ranking by using illegal techniques such as keyword stuffing, duplicate content (or lack of any original content), hidden text and links, doorway pages, deceptive titles, machine-generated pages, copyright violators, etc. Search engines also tend to dislike meaningless link directories that conceive the impression that they are topically arranged, so if you have a fat links section on your site, double-check what you link to in the internet.
Who's Hot? Who's Not?
Probably the question that is popping is: “But since the Web is so vast and so constantly changing, how can I know who is good and who is bad?” Well, you don't have to know each of the sites on the black list, even if it were possible. The black list itself is changing all the time but it looks like there will always be companies and individuals who are eager to earn some cash by spamming, disseminating viruses and porn or simply performing fraudulent SEO activities.

It's common in SEO to make suggestions to potential clients to not go after that elusive one keyword. By doing so, and it seems that all SEO professionals has got it easier to get ranked for one-word keywords?
For personal reasons, it has been able to get some top rankings for clients within the past year. We're not saying this to brag, but if everyone's drinking that kool-aid, how will anyone know how hard it is to go after one word? Shall we stick to just one thing in order to improve our rankings in the internet? Definitely not.
Now, there are those that will tell you that a one-word phrase doesn't convert. In my experience, these keywords drive tons of traffic to the site (as much as up to 15k unique visitors a day). Not all of them convert stable, but at least 20% do.
Study shows that 20% of all people coming in on a one-word phrase converts at that rate for something on the site. Maybe not for the phrase that brought them in, but that person converts on something in the internet.
If we use WebTrends or Google Analytics, it will tell you the keyword on which the person came from, but to get the it's details, the only system we been able to come up with and rely on is a site database capturing system. It's been custom created, but it can track all the pages visited and will tell you that if someone originally came to the site, but ended up buying USB Cables, that data is retained.
Suddenly, one-word phrases are looking good already. And with many SEO clients purposely are not going after them, it has an opportunity to grab those top rankings for those who drive traffic.

In this situation free trial would be the best decision you could make for your future website, because templates, tools & even featured websites do not give you an idea on their customer service.
They believe you have had the unwanted pleasure dealing with a lot of promising companies which have done nothing in order to support their clients in the internet. Their pre-sales department gives constant delays, troubles & excuses and you get zero support from their call centers & in addition their phone lines are constantly busy. But when you have finally reached the support center you are given short general informative answers to your questions which are of no use in your problem & will seldom assist you in your issues even if they are minor ones.
That’s why you always need a reliable & caring company who will always support you in your time of need when you generate your own website. You will definitely feel more comfortable with our support team behind your back. No matter how lovely the entire technique works you always would like to have a qualified designer & a skillful webmaster to be by your side when you generate a cool website.
