06 Nov 09 Ubuntu 9.10 Released Karmic

Last night, I was awake many hours of the night because I was installing Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic. It is absolutely beautiful OS with lots of easy administration. If you upgrade from 9.04 version, you will probably need 1-2 hours download and upgrade time to complete, but it is not much changed from 9.04 version. By the way, 9.10 was released on 29th October 2009.

So, if any of you are Ubuntu fan, it’s time to download or upgrade.

As nowadays, everyone seems to be have one netbook for each person, and you won’t feel left out, because you can also download ATOM version of ubuntu that is Ubuntu netbook remix and Ubuntu has optimized for your netbooks as well.

The software package manager is better than ever. Firefox Mozilla starts with 3.5 version. Overall, it’s really worth using it. I am on the verge of leaving Windows if possible. Of course, most of the working environments, It is very hard not to use Ubuntu, however, upgrade and security point of view, I think Linux aces on top of everything.

So, have you tried Ubuntu yet?

18 Apr 09 What do search engines want?

Well, From now on, I decided to write a shorter version of entry for a while to take a look at my audience reading behavior for maybe a month or so. It’s always important that I have to ensure and validate what I write, so that I do not digress.

So, what do search engines really want? They definitely want

1. text format
2. clear-cut writing
3. no frame
4. not many tables
5. not very graphical intensive
6. less java scripts
7. possibly non-shockwave files
8. no keyword stuffing/spamming
9. properly linked
10. good internal linkage
11. no html errors including any kind of programming language
12. appropriate headers and titles

This is not what people usually want but in order to persuade search engines cherish your sites by not over-accessorizing your site with bombarding these unfriendly search engine materials. Then, you are technically good with your SEO mission. Remember, you always write for your audience, not for search engines bots, but when you write, you can make use of these advantages, so that not only your audience will love it, but also search engine bots would.

Thanks for reading.

17 Feb 09 Viral Traffic Generation Methods

Previously, I have posted about viral marketing for online advertising. Now, I want to share a little bit further more about viral marketing and why should we use it in order to drive massive traffic to our websites.

So, cut to the chase, WHY do we use viral marketing techniques?

1. quick to drive traffic (once it’s starting to spread, there’s basically no limit, the message will pick up the speed faster and to the bigger audience)
2. cost effective (once again, no limit, easy to start and cheap to expect the traffic, make sure your site has some to offer for your visitors to become regular)
3. niche gathering (you will eventually find where your niche is headed and your target audience in no time as long as you offer unique content that are original, photographer offers photoblog whereas geek-blog offers all technology news)

Bottom Line, traffic means money, relevant niche means more money, cost effective mean more money. So, what else shall I say?

So, this comes the question, WHAT are the techniques?

1. I am going to repeat this again, provide quality content, products or services. (provide something which is unique for your visitors)
2. Give something away (I would recommend gmail service to my friends because they basically gave away free service for e-mail, don’t they? you gotta offer something so that will create buzz).
3. Recommendation or referral on your site. (something like share this post, email to a friend, etc etc, that will create more buzz because I would really recommend to my friend if a particular website offer something nice)
4. Have some video clips, or free e-book to give away or have a personal blog about your interest on the site (that will also give some kind of expose to your visitors and yes it does really attract traffic)
5. Social bookmarking icons and links (They are basically helping you to bookmark or submit to the sites, either way, they are good for traffic, easy for search engine to index, my personal favorites regarding SEO are reddit, technorati and digg)
6. Use RSS feed or any sort of Feed (Some of my audience like RSS feed because they are firefox fans, some of them love email feed as well, so feedburner or similar service sites can offer, I use feedburner of course, you can set up either RSS feed or email subscription)
7. Do what others do not generally offer (It’s very simple but sometimes it is easily overlooked in many cases, for example, I enabled “do-follow” plugin in my wordpress, which default is “no-follow” for commenters, so I would get more visitors who will want to have do-follow link on my site and will write more comments as well.
8. Run on-site competitions (Many internet gurus are still using this method, and that’s how they get massive traffic and regular visitors)
9. Build a community and relationship with your visitors (Communication is the key to success, if you interact with your visitors, you will build the better relationship between you and your visitors that is very good for long term)

Ok, There are main 9 methods I have tested and experimented in the past and they have created impressive traffic for me.

So, start right now because what I have suggested will cost next to nothing. You can basically start with no-investment methods such as adding referal scripts, RSS setup, email subscriptions and some fabulous content first.

Thanks for reading. Now, I will go back to build my viral marketing for another site

31 Jan 09 Share your expertises on KNOL

Google has introduced KNOL for sometimes, now they are promoting it. I definitely think KNOL will help all the information seekers better than ever. This is probably another technique of Google’s collection of knowledge base search engine, we could presume.

What is KNOL?

It’s basically units of knowledge written about various subjects. However, as like many google applications, knol is current at a beta stage.

Why should we participate at KNOL?

Many advantages, make yourself exposed to the knowledge based world, information sharing site. You can take credit for writing, provide credentials, reviews and comments. Users can provide comments, review and related information.

What subjects we can write on KNOL?

Well, pretty much everything. LOL

What are common advantages using KNOL?

You can get good back links to your website, that’s pretty good for SEO, but it’s very important you don’t spam the links. You can get credited and for me, the best thing is collaboration mode that many people can work together on a same project/subject which is pretty awesome. I think that idea is derived from online project collaboration sites as Google has capabilities for doing it so such as Google Docs.

What do I think about this?

KNOL for me is basically a combination of blog/search engine/multimedia gateway to all the information retrievers. Being a active participant on google’s main site, you will not only create traffic for your website on your niche, but also will create exposure to your materials. All you need to do is to be original, informative and unique with your content.

So, happy KNOLing.

Have a great weekend.
