06 May 10 New MISC category to be introduced

I will be introducing new category tips and tricks of whatever it is. I actually like to tweak and use some short cuts whenever possible, so I thought why not introduce new category because this is what I love to do.

I also like to review some websites as soon as I have some times as well. I love to visit new websites and review them, and yes, I will do that so regularly from now on.

Actually, reviewing website is quite interesting, because it is actually SEO with viral approach to the WWW. As far as I am concerned, I don’t really care about my link juice being good or bad, I actually even allow do-follow links in my sites, so that whoever visits my site and leave a legitimate comment, they will be awarded with backlinks.

Okay, back to the topic, yesterday, I was actually trying to disable the notifier in my AVIRA antivirus program, because whenever it is updated the virus signature or used scanner, it will pop-up the notifier and it’s quite annoying for me. I must admit it’s a freeware but regular pop-ups are not really helping. So, I had to find a way and solved the issue. After a while, I thought why not share what I have learned today with my visitors, so that everyone has a chance to solve problems. Besides, things that are good to share should have been shared anyways.  So, I hope to have more useful posts in the future, and yes, more frequency.

Thanks for reading.

05 May 10 Great plug-in: Broken Link Checker

Today, I decided to have my site be integrated with at least one plug-in because it has been a while I added some useful plugins. Needless to say, I haven’t seen much better plugins than I am currently using, so it’s been really a while.

It is pretty hard because most of the plug-ins do not really impress me, but this one has got something that I would say “WORTH IT”.

To install plug-ins in wordpress has never been easier and all you need is to enter the plugin name in the text field search box, so this one is called “Broken Link Checker“. As soon as you installed and activated this plug-in, you will be able to see on your Dashboard as follows;

Once you click what the plug-in has found, you can see the following display, which is fantastically easy to edit, remove link or edit URLs that were no longer valid.

For me, most of these are silly comments with their URLs, so it’s easy to take them out anyways. However, if you have several dead links, big search engines like Google, Yahoo and MSN will discount your website credibility because you have been hosting too many broken links.

Besides, this plug in will help you with your SEO because limiting useless outgoing links are just wasted on your site. Since I am actually using do-follow methods on my site, I have to be more careful with links incoming and outgoing.

So, the bottom line is, I recommend this Plug-in and am happy to use it. Have you ever used this plug-in or do you think you will use it in the future? What do you think?
