For your information, Google updates page rank in every 3 or 4 months and it was expected in the late January or early February.

What is Page Rank?


Page Rank is a rank given to web page by Google on the basis of sites linking in, note that its not only the total number of sites linking in it but its about the quality of sites linking in. For example I would be very happy if several blogs with page rank 6 link to my blog rather than tons of pr1 blogs linking in.

Actually page rank indicates importance of web page for Google and it was developed by Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin.


Below is the page rank meaning from one to ten.

Page Rank 0: Don't worry, you have nothing to loose :P
Page Rank 1: Poor, But the best part is you can tell your blogging friends you have page rank.
Page Rank 2: Don't worry, 90% of blog has page rank 2. Tip: comment more.
Page Rank 3: Avarage, yeah you just got the real taste of blogging, you need to submit guest posts and do at least two directory submission per month.
Page Rank 4: Good, You are doing it right. Just submit more guest post to sites having pr6 or above.
Page Rank 5: Very Good, please contact me :P
Page Rank 6: Great, you have done some good work and you are one of the top blogs in your niche.
Page Rank 7: Awesome, You are leading the way for other blogs.
Page Rank 8: You are on fire and you must have great fan following.
Page Rank 9: You are best in your niche. example yahoo.com
Page Rank 10: You rule the web but the worst part is you can't improve your page rank. example Google.com, cnn.com etc.



How Can I See PageRank?

There are lots of tools available for viewing your page rank but I would recommend you to install chrome extension named "PageRank Status" for this purpose from here.

Don't worry if you are not using chrome, you can still use online tools like www.checkpagerank.net/  and     www.prchecker.info/ to check page rank of desired pages.

What if I'm using FireFox?

Switch to chrome :P(not kidding) or just install PageRank for Firefox.


What if I'm using Internet Explorer? 

I think You should not worry about page rank system, just focus on blogging. However you can still install Google Page Rank Toolbar for this purpose but seriously it will not help.


How Can I Increase My PageRank?


Good question, well the answer is simple, get dofollow backlinks from high page rank blogs, yes getting nofollow backlinks is useless as far as Google page rank is concerned. For increasing your page rak you can do following things.

Submit Guest Posts: 

Submit Guest post to high page rank blogs, start with page rank 2 and move on to high page rank blogs.

Directory Submission: 

Directory submission is very useful tool if you are willing to increase your page rank, it might be difficult as they usually don't accept low quality articles but it worth submitting.

Some Article Directories I would Recommend are, GoArticle, EzineArticle, etc.

Comment, Comment, Comment:

Comment on Dofollow blogs, it might be difficult to find dofollow blogs but they can increase your page rank to great extent. Comments are most valuable if they are done on relevant pages.
Tip: Also comment on nofollow blogs not for page rank but to gain some valuable traffic.


Internal Linking

Do links to your own article, specially use 3 way linking? Three way linking can give you higher page rank in no time.

what is three way linking? 

consider page A, page B and Page C. Now Link page A to page B and then link page B to page C and finally link page C back to page A.

Link To Google

What the heck you are talking about? please calm down Google also needs traffic and want to improve their page rank as well. If you send them some quality traffic, they will send back some quality traffic to you as well.

Link To Other Blogs

Link to other blogs if you trust them i.e. if they are not posting spammy contents, in this way not only you are able to gain other bloggers attention but you can get some link back to your site as well.

Add Your Suggestion

No post is complete without your suggestions, so suggest any tip you got in comment section below. Remember we are not a dofollow blog :P

After Megaupload BTjunkie Goes Down

We all know BTjunkie as one of the best BitTorrent search engine but not now, yes btjunkie is no
more. The site has been shut down due to obvious reasons. In the morning I have tried to access  BitTorrent  and I was shocked to see  the message (see the screen shot below) posted there.

Why it was Shocking for me? 

It was shocking for me as the site was never involved in any legal action unlike others such as
4shared, mediafire, the pirate bay etc.


For those who don't know what btjunkie is, BTjunkie is a web web crawler used to search for torrent
files from various torrent sites available. The sites has alexa rank of 390 and visited by millions of people daily.  See the screen shot below to view the details of BTjunkie.

It doesn't matter if US government was unsuccessful to implement sopa/pipa, they can still shut down sites like Megaupload and Btjunkie without sopa/pipa and acta.

How to Become Rich on the Internet

A lot of people think that they can become rich on the Internet just by finding a gold mine, or a super popular niche. This is what my employees thing, and I have to constantly remind them that is not how it works!  Even though their are occasionally people who strike it rich and 6 to 12 months, they are not the majority of full-time Internet bloggers. In my experience, it is not like that for most people who make their living online. There is no pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, just a slow and steady stream of income that will grow as you put forth the effort, and apply faith.

Have Faith


Faith is super important to making any progress online. This is because you have to work before you get any return. According to the Scriptures, faith is believing in something that you can't see that is true.  This is the way the I look at my work as a blogger. I can't see my income, but I think it is their, and if I keep on working, I can develop it until it becomes what I want it to be.
The most difficult part about working online as a blogger is that you can work on a site for six months with out having it produce anything for you. But that's okay, you just have to keep on trying and keep on working. The more effort you put into something, the more likely it is going to be the payoff. I have had sites that have made only $50 after six months, and that two months later, they were making close to $1000 per month.  I'm not sure why that is, but maybe we are rewarded only after our faith in quality content and consistently building is tested.
If you want to become rich on the Internet, the first thing you have to do is learn how to write. Writing is persuading people to do what you want them to do or to see things from your point of view. I don't consider myself an amazing writer, but I do write a lot. In an average week, I often find myself writing 70,000 words or more.

Believe You Can Do It


The next you have to do is you have to believe in yourself. Without believing that you can succeed and be successful, it is impossible. This belief has to lead you to action. As you act, you will start noticing small accomplishments. Then, as you act more and invest more of your time, your self, and you are resources into your blog, then you will start to and see it increase and grow. Then, you will have to step back and think to yourself that this is really amazing, that Internet really can make money to provide for my needs. And then, if you are seriously motivated, you can increase your income even more. It is exciting, and it is fun and you can succeed online.  The key is to be determined. I have had a lot of sites fail a couple of times. Then I have come back, redone the site entirely, and remarket it it only to have it succeed. It's pretty fun when you can do this and be successful at it.

One of the ways that you can eventually become rich is by saving money. Start saving money now in everything you do, by figuring out how to shop at RV auctions, or how to buy car repos for sale.

Fundamentals of Business Logo Designing

Many businesses would just keep on wasting their time and money over how to get their logo designed; this basically happens because they are not aware of the fundamentals of business logo designing. If you are also a business owner and looking forward to get a logo designed for your business that will give your brand a professional image; you need to know how this process should be exactly done. Your logo is something that will make your business wins the trust of the entire market. This is why you need to be highly careful when getting a business logo designed.

Competition Analysis

Some analysis should be done first about the competitors. Have a look at your major competitors and see how they are promoting their brand and how they have created their logo. This is important so do not skip this step. Also, make sure you are not thinking of copying any of the logos from any of your competitors; just do analysis, no copying. This will just be a source of inspiration and ideas to make your own unique business logo. This way you will be able to understand the market in a better way and see what they are appreciating. You will then be able to come up with a business logo that will be much better compared to what your competing businesses have.

Strategy Thinking

Creation and execution of a proper plan is necessary. There are some questions that need to be answered and automatically you will have a plan ready. The way you want to target the market, how should they perceive your business once they look at your business logo, what impression should be left over the audience? These are the questions that once answered will give you a plan to follow. Having a strategy is necessary therefore be slow, take your time, and be wise at every step; do not rush.

Design Stage

Now, whatever you have in your head should be kept in front of the designer who will make your business logo. You can tell that person about your ideas and he or she will tell you about what to do and what not to do. Well, a good business logo is always kept unique but simple so it can be remembered by anyone who sees it even once easily. The colors used in it should be hardly two or three; not more than this otherwise this gets unprofessional and fancy.

How to Get a Break Without Disconnecting

  

It happened to most of us. We had a question, needed some quick information, jumped over to Wikipedia, and… oh that’s right—the blackout. If you use the internet a lot, you may even have made the same mistake several times on the same day. And in the process you realized exactly what the organizers of the blackout wanted you to learn. You really like the internet.

It’s helpful to stop and realize every once in awhile how much time and trouble internet technologies save each of us on a daily basis. Here are several of the major tasks you do regularly and what the alternative would be.

1.      Messaging

Need to quickly communicate a piece of information or connect with someone? Today you choose between email, Facebook messages, instant messages and texting, depending on who you’re contacting. Take away the internet and you’re left with two options you probably won’t like. If you call them you have to catch them at a time when they can answer, and then you get to go through the formalities of an entire conversation. Or if that’s too much trouble you can write them a letter. That’s right—a piece of paper, envelope, stamp, three days, wait for something to come back… it’s been a long time, hasn’t it?

2.      Finding information

Do you remember card catalogs in libraries? They were invented to help us when we had a question but didn’t know where to start looking. The next time you wonder about a name, a date, or that recipe you know you read but can’t remember, imagine driving to the library, looking for a book on that topic, and hoping your information might be there. There are some questions you’ll have trouble answering at all without a quick Google search. We do it constantly, and you probably did it for the first time only ten years ago.

3.      Getting places

If you needed a map of your city right now, would you have to go buy one? Without the internet, you would be using it constantly. Instead of typing an address into Google maps and charting the distance and estimated time with traffic, imagine scanning across a sheet of paper and looking for an obscure road name before trying to decide how to get there. You never paid anything for the privilege of using Google Maps, it’s a much better tool, and best of all, you don’t even need to fold up the map when you’re done.

Here’s the most shocking thing about all of these technologies and the convenience they bring: you use them constantly without even thinking about it. They have so quickly become ingrained in our lifestyles that we don’t even realize how much time and trouble they save us. But try going back to the way you used to do these things and you’ll want to return to today’s conveniences as quickly as possible. Maybe that’s the true proof of how user-friendly they are—you use them, you love them, you could never do without them, and you don’t even realize it.

6 Benefits Of Split Testing

Split testing is a process in which a business will create multiple versions of the same ad so they can make direct comparisons in how effective they are. Although split testing is also known as A/B testing, in most cases more than two versions will be created and used. Split testing is also used to compare the effectiveness of a website layout or its graphics, but it is most frequently employed to determine how the public responds to different versions of the same ad campaign. There are several compelling reasons for doing split testing.

Avoiding Waste

If you put out an ad on a site and have no idea how effective it is, you might be wasting money on ads that are completely useless. Narrowing the field down to the best ad assures you that your money is being well spent. You can then use the money you save for purchasing more ad placements

Costs Per Click

Many ad services like Google base at least part of their pricing structure on how effective your ad design and keyword choices are. As a result, you can significantly reduce you costs per click by having better designed ads. With split testing, you can quickly determine which ads are best and eliminate them.

Time Saved

Many companies also choose to use split testing as a way to get their Internet ads up faster. This is essentially a concept of consumer testing that allows a business to use several of their potential designs at once. Split testing leaves it up to the customer to choose the one that works best.

Click Though Rate

The key to successful online advertising is a high click through rate. For a customer to buy the product or service being offered, they have to actually click on the ad to get to the site. By split testing, businesses can quickly find out which ad does the best job getting the potential customer to the product.

Accelerated Ad Production

Using split testing keeps your staff on their toes, constantly thinking about new ideas and approaches they might try. As a result, they become accustomed to producing quality work quickly. In addition, since they are working faster, the relative cost for any particular ad they produce is reduced.

Constant Refinement

Another useful aspect of using split testing is that it makes the ad production process dynamic, allowing for constant change and improvement. Instead of launching new campaigns on an intermittent basis, new ideas and improvements can be tried out almost daily.

SMTP has revolutionized communication technology

SMTP is the abbreviated form of Simple Mail Transfer Protocol. It is a kind of protocol used for sending e-mail among the servers. The e-mail systems that exchange e-mails via internet use SMTP for sending the messages from one server to some other. It is generally used to send e-mail messages from a client to the mail server. It increases the deliverability of mails in less time.

A medium of fast communication

SMTP is a protocol to increase the   communication rate between the mail server and the mail received. A Transmission Control Protocol is typically used to establish the communication. The mail receiver uses command strings for supplying the necessary data by a data stream medium. The commands are generally originated by a particular SMTP client and receive a reciprocal response from a SMTP server and finally the session is opened and the e messages are exchanged in a smooth flow. This transaction system consists of three major commands or reply sequences. These commands are,

·         Mail command- This command is used to establish and construct a return address. This is an address established for bounce messages.

·         RCTP command – This particular command is generated to establish a receiver of the message. It can be used several times, each for every recipient.

·         DATA is issued to send message text. It is the main theme of the message. It comprises of a header and a message body, a blank line segregates both these parts. In general, sense DATA is a group of organized commands. Each server can provide either positive or negative reply.

It is implemented to access and operate mainly over internet port 25. Today after repeated technological advancement an alternative of SMTP is widely in practice in Europe is X.400. Even many servers these days are highly demanding ESMTP or Extended Simple Mail Transfer Protocol, which enables the sender the multimedia files as e-mails.
