3 Easy Ways A Blog Can Turn Your Hobby Into An Online Business
2008-03-02 20:04:00
All of us have an interest or a hobby that we enjoy doing on a regular basis. In most cases, our hobbies have nothing to do with our work. For example, you could be an avid stamp collector, compiling rare and unique stamps from all over the world. Or maybe you enjoy fishing, and you’ve visited some of the most unique fishing sites in the world and learnt some useful fishing tricks along the way. Perhaps you even partake in the joy of painting, quietly creating your art masterpieces in your basement every weekend. Whatever your choice of hobby may be, you can make it a lot more than just a fun pastime by expanding your interest online, that is, by getting a domain name (that could be your own name) and setting up a Blog dedicated to your hobby, on that domain.

5 Fun Free Software Sites
2008-02-13 18:34:00
I started writing this column way back in 1998 and one thing rates as true today as it did ten years ago: people love free stuff online. Free software tops the list of free things they love. People particularly love free software that solves annoying little problems, offers some fun, or saves them time and effort. If you own a PC, the following free software will help you save time, enjoy a little fun, and protect yourself and your computer too. ** EULAlyzer ** Log on to www.javacoolsoftware.com and download the “EULAlyzer” software that helps you spot troublesome language in those “End User License Agreements.” You know, the software installation agreements we should all read, but normally we just click “Agree” and keep right on installing the software. However, blindly agreeing to those EULAs means you could potentially consent to all sorts of unpleasant things, including your desktop getting assaulted by advertising “spyware” and wo...

Using Known Data To Improve Your Rankings
2008-02-13 03:27:00
Need more visitors to your website through natural search engine rankings? Have you covered the basics of optimization and are you following through with your plan? Getting high rankings on the major search engines for competitive keywords takes knowledge, skill and patience. There’s SO much information out there that it’s easy to get overwhelmed by it — blog after blog explaining ‘latent semantic indexing’ and other esoteric terms. Great to know, maybe, if you’ve really built a foundation of quality optimization work, and you’re looking for that last 1% to put you over the top, but most of us running an internet business don’t have that kind of time — and even if we did, it’s probably not where we’d want to spend it. So get back to basics. Statistical reverse engineering of the search engines has been done, and what’s most interesting is they generally follow similar formulas for the weight given to different r...

Windows XP - Will Vista Kill Support?
2008-02-13 02:32:00
If Microsoft has its way, you won’t be able to buy XP after June 30th, 2008. According to some sources, the public wishes otherwise. Like all new operating systems, Windows Vista ushered in a new era of incompatibility for existing Windows users. In spite of this, Microsoft plans to start retiring Windows XP on June 30th. Some users, however, want to keep XP alive for years to come so that they can continue to work reliably and efficiently. According to a Popular Science report, there’s a grassroots effort to force Microsoft to keep selling XP to customers in shrink-wrapped packages and to OEMs. What’s behind this movement? Just to clarify, it’s not really a “grassroots” movement. It’s actually being orchestrated by InfoWorld, an online news publication.

Social Media Pitfalls: 5 Lessons Learned
2008-02-13 00:54:00
Allow me to introduce my friend Jordan Kasteler also known as Utah SEO Pro. His background is in organic search engine optimization, which he has been doing professionally for 4 years now, and has stayed pretty focused on that and hasn’t delved much into paid search at all. But as of late, he told me he has been playing a lot lately in social media and there are quite a few things he has learned. He also told me that there were quite a few things historically done he wishes he could erase.  He doesn’t want to look like an idiot, especially to the SMOs, but what he wants to do is save a few headaches for people getting into social media. Today I am going to take what Jordan has taught me and I’m going to focus primarily on Digg because, it seems to be the most complex social media site out there due to its sophisticated algorithm. I am going to write his exact words, of course with his permission. So everything below will be straight from Jordan, which is some grea...
