Bagaimana Untuk Mendapatkan Trafik?

2011-01-29T06:03:00.000+08:00

Dalam salah satu artikel yang telah saya tulis, saya membincangkan tentang betapa pentingnya mempunyai trafik yang relevan.

Persoalan yang timbul ialah: bagaimana untuk mencari trafik yang relevan dan berminat dengan apa yang anda tawarkan? Terdapat pelbagai teknik yang ada di Internet dan kebanyakan mereka memberikan anda trafik yang tidak berkualiti, dan ada juga langsung tidak berbaloi.

Antaranya ialah pakej yang menawarkan 1 juta “hits” kepada laman web anda. Pakej tersebut memang tidak berbaloi kerana menggunakan bot komputer untuk melakukan apa yang dijanjikan.

Terdapat beberapa cara sebenarnya untuk mendapatkan trafik. Salah satu cara adalah dengan menggunakan forum.

Forum? Ya. Forum sebenarnya adalah senjata yang mampu membantu anda membina momentum untuk perniagaan online anda. Cuba anda lihat sendiri di forum Wanita Niaga. Anda dapat melihat pelbagai produk dijual di sana oleh pelbagai pihak.

Di forum Wangcyber juga anda dapat melihat bahagian WTS (Want to Sell) penuh dengan produk untuk dijual. Anda boleh mulakan langkah anda mencari trafik yang berkualiti di situ. Selalunya jika ada orang yang reply atau membalas post anda di thread tersebut, selalunya dia berminat dengan apa yang anda tawarkan. Berikan URL ke surat jualan anda kepadanya.

Surat jualan jika betul-betul hebat mungkin boleh menyebabkannya daripada berminat, menjadi pembeli. Itu merupakan rahsia yang ramai orang simpan selama ini. Saya mengenali seorang penulis iklan yang saya telah upah… menggunakan cara yang sama ke atas saya untuk mendapatkan saya sebagai klien dia.

Dan jika dia boleh, anda pun boleh. Saya sendiri pun akan menggunakan kaedah yang sama untuk mendapatkan jualan. (Sebenarnya, saya dah pun! :D )

Teknik web usahawan

Salam sejahtera

Jika anda merupakan usahawan internet, saya tahu betapa pentingnya penggunaan minisite bagi menghasilkan jualan.

Namun begitu, ramai yang menghadapi masalah untuk membina minisite kerana mereka tidak mengetahui perkara asas seperti.

# HTML dan CSS

Buat pengetahuan anda, asas pembinaan minisite bergantung pada pemahaman saya tentang HTML dan CSS.

Walaupun ramai yang sedar tentang perkara ini, namun hanya segelintir orang sahaja yang dapat membina minisite mereka sendiri.

Bagaimana pula dengan yang lain?

Mereka terpaksa melaburkan wang sebanyak RM100 hingga RM300 untuk mengupah pereka laman web untuk menyediakan minisite.

Berita buruknya, kebanyakkan pereka minisite ini tidak akan membantu dalam bahagian teknikal yang lain seperti pemasangan dan proses muat naik minisite.

Sekali lagi Anda dalam dilema...

Sebab itu berani saya katakan bahawa 95% usahawan internet gagal kerana mereka tidak mempunyai kemahiran asas berkenaan laman web.

Bagaimana untuk anda mengekang masalah ini?

Buat pengetahuan anda semua, kita semua bernasib baik kerana terdapat golongan usahawan yang mempunyai inisiatif untuk mencipta sebuah sistem.

SEO Tutorial

2011-01-15T17:38:00.001+08:00

Keyword Selection

2011-01-15T17:37:00.000+08:00

The best keywords will be those that are popular search terms (terms that people actually search for), and that clearly describe the purpose and the content of your pages. They will also have to be keywords for which there is relatively low competition.

There is no sense in trying to optimize your pages for super-competitive keywords where you don't stand a chance of ranking well (most one-word keyphrases fall into this category: for example, it would be impossible to rank well for the keyword 'book'). It would be better to target phrases like:

'cook book' - easier but still competitive
'italian cook book' - easier and less competitive
'northern italian cook book' - easier and not as competitive.

The more specific your keyphrase, the easier it will be for your site to rank well. You should therefore target keyphrases with three or more words to significantly improve your chances.

Choosing the wrong keywords can throw off your entire search engine optimization strategy. It will force you to re-work your pages for new keywords and wait for the search engines to re-crawl your site. For this reason, a few hours trying to pick the right keywords is time well spent.

To start, take a look at your pages. Look at them carefully and write down the words and phrases that best define your site. Try to build a list of two or three word phrases. Once you have developed this list of potential keyphrases you are ready for the next step: to analyze the demand and supply for those keyphrases, and choose the best ones (those with good demand and not enough supply).

Optimize for the Search Engines

2011-01-15T17:34:00.000+08:00

Search engine optimization begins even before designing your site. It starts by selecting a very narrow and focused topic for your site, and choosing the right domain name. You must then select the right keywordsfor each of your individual pages (keywords, or search terms, are what you expect search engine users will type in the search box to find a page like yours).

After that, site design can begin and, with it, web page optimization. Web page optimization involves optimizing page copy for your selected keywords and making your web page design friendly to search engines. This usually translates into using your keywords several times in your web page copy, and building a site that offers good navigation, a straightforward architecture, plenty of text, and easy access to all the site's pages by following links from the most important pages.

The third step, the most difficult and time consuming, involves getting inbound links from quality sites related to your topic, with your keywords in the anchor text. It is virtually impossible to rank high in the most important search engines without a wide array of quality inbound links. Until now, reciprocal linking has been a common way to get inbound links. Search engines, though, tend to favor one-way links developed naturally (over time) coming from many different sources.

Relevant Keywords

2011-01-15T17:22:00.000+08:00

Relevant Keywords and Quality Content are of the up most importance when implementing effective search engine optimization techniques.

When a person enters a search query into a Search Engine they expect to be shown relevant results relating exactly to the Keywords that were entered.

The Search Engine will interrogate its database of possible Keyword matches related to the Keyword query and display a number of Search Engine Results Pages (SERPs)

In order for the Search Engine to display results quickly it needs a method of Indexing its database which could contain references to billions of websites.

Search Engines utilise complexed algorithms which attempt to Index a string of Relevant Keywords matched to a website that contains the most Accurate and Quality Content that a potential Internet Searcher would find specific to their search query.

The Algorithms used by Search Engines are all unique to each Search Provider. The basics to how the algorithms calculate and score the positioning of a web site would be related primarily to what's termed as On Page and Off Page information.

The term "On Page" is related to and defined as the actual website domain and its content, including all sub pages. The Search Engine will base its scoring on the Quality of the Content relating to the Relevant Keywords that are visible within the pages of the site. Web pages within a site should all be unique. Individual web pages have the ability to create Meta Tags.

The Meta Tags are used to define the actual page content to the Search Engine, therefore they are related and should make use of the Relevant Keywords related to the Content displayed by the Browser. Meta Tag information should be unique for each individual page. Focus should be given to the Meta Title and Meta Description Tags, as these can and will be indexed by the Search Engines and displayed within the Results Pages.

The term "Off Page" is related to other websites that provide a Backlink to the Domain Name URLs that the Algorithm is calculating. The Search Engine will determine the relevance and quality of the website that is providing the link, and weight or score the link information accordingly.

A website that is providing Backlinks should be relevant or related to your own Industry or Subject Matter that is contained within your Domain Name or Website. The Algorithm can determine related content by looking for Relevant Keywords contained within the pages of the linking website.

The relevance of the backlinks is important and will be scored higher by the Search Engine algorithm. A backlink between websites is similar to a recommendation between humans. Humans would normally recommended a Service or Product based on experienced knowledge that the information they are providing is correct. An example of relevant backlinks would be as follows; Website A has content relating to Photography, Website B also has content relating to photography. Both sites will contain Relevant Keywords to Photography and therefore should be classed as an trusted link or referral.

The website owner has full control over creating a site with good Quality Content. Whereas achieving high numbers of quality related backlinks can be difficult, time consuming and in some cases expensive.

A website that has Quality Content and has been organically optimized using Relevant Keywords should be displayed at a high position by the Search Engine Results Pages, when a searcher quires the term. If the searcher finds your content relative and informative, they may choose to utilise or purchase your products or services. Assuming that the Customer has received good service, they should then organically promote your Company both by Word of Mouth and possible provide organic one way links from other Internet Resources.

Quality Content which is accurate and meets the criteria set by the Searchers Relevant Keywords, should enable effective results for Clients utilising the Internet Search Engines as a Marketing Tool.

International markets

2011-01-12T18:53:00.003+08:00

Optimization techniques are highly tuned to the dominant search engines in the target market. The search engines' market shares vary from market to market, as does competition. In 2003, Danny Sullivan stated that Google represented about 75% of all searches.In markets outside the United States, Google's share is often larger, and Google remains the dominant search engine worldwide as of 2007. As of 2006, Google had an 85-90% market share in Germany. While there were hundreds of SEO firms in the US at that time, there were only about five in Germany. As of June 2008, the marketshare of Google in the UK was close to 90% according to Hitwise. That market share is achieved in a number of countries..

As of 2009, there are only a few large markets where Google is not the leading search engine. In most cases, when Google is not leading in a given market, it is lagging behind a local player. The most notable markets where this is the case are China, Japan, South Korea, Russia and the Czech Republic where respectively Baidu, Yahoo! Japan, Naver, Yandex andSeznam are market leaders.seo

Successful search optimization for international markets may require professional translation of web pages, registration of a domain name with a top level domain in the target market, and web hosting that provides a local IP address. Otherwise, the fundamental elements of search optimization are essentially the same, regardless of language.

Web search engine

2011-01-11T04:42:00.002+08:00

A web search engine is designed to search for information on the World Wide Web and FTP servers. The search results are generally presented in a list of results and are often calledhits. The information may consist of web pages, images, information and other types of files. Some search engines also mine data available in databases or open directories. Unlike Web directories, which are maintained by human editors, search engines operate algorithmically or are a mixture of algorithmic and human input.

During the early development of the web, there was a list of webservers edited by Tim Berners-Lee and hosted on theCERN webserver. One historical snapshot from 1992 remains.As more webservers went online the central list could not keep up. On the NCSA site new servers were announced under the title "What's New!"

The very first tool used for searching on the Internet was Archie. The name stands for "archive" without the "v". It was created in 1990 by Alan Emtage, Bill Heelan and J. Peter Deutsch, computer science students at McGill University inMontreal. The program downloaded the directory listings of all the files located on public anonymous FTP (File Transfer Protocol) sites, creating a searchable database of file names; however, Archie did not index the contents of these sites since the amount of data was so limited it could be readily searched manually.

The rise of Gopher (created in 1991 by Mark McCahill at the University of Minnesota) led to two new search programs,Veronica and Jughead. Like Archie, they searched the file names and titles stored in Gopher index systems. Veronica (Very Easy Rodent-Oriented Net-wide Index to Computerized Archives) provided a keyword search of most Gopher menu titles in the entire Gopher listings. Jughead (Jonzy's Universal Gopher Hierarchy Excavation And Display) was a tool for obtaining menu information from specific Gopher servers. While the name of the search engine "Archie" was not a reference to the Archie comic book series, "Veronica" and "Jughead" are characters in the series, thus referencing their predecessor.

In the summer of 1993, no search engine existed yet for the web, though numerous specialized catalogues were maintained by hand. Oscar Nierstrasz at the University of Geneva wrote a series of Perl scripts that would periodically mirror these pages and rewrite them into a standard format which formed the basis for W3Catalog, the web's first primitive search engine, released on September 2, 1993.

In June 1993, Matthew Gray, then at MIT, produced what was probably the first web robot, the Perl-based World Wide Web Wanderer, and used it to generate an index called 'Wandex'. The purpose of the Wanderer was to measure the size of the World Wide Web, which it did until late 1995. The web's second search engine Aliweb appeared in November 1993. Aliweb did not use a web robot, but instead depended on being notified by website administrators of the existence at each site of an index file in a particular format.

JumpStation (released in December 1993) used a web robot to find web pages and to build its index, and used a web form as the interface to its query program. It was thus the first WWW resource-discovery tool to combine the three essential features of a web search engine (crawling, indexing, and searching) as described below. Because of the limited resources available on the platform on which it ran, its indexing and hence searching were limited to the titles and headings found in the web pages the crawler encountered.

One of the first "full text" crawler-based search engines was WebCrawler, which came out in 1994. Unlike its predecessors, it let users search for any word in any webpage, which has become the standard for all major search engines since. It was also the first one to be widely known by the public. Also in 1994, Lycos (which started at Carnegie Mellon University) was launched and became a major commercial endeavor.

Soon after, many search engines appeared and vied for popularity. These included Magellan, Excite, Infoseek, Inktomi,Northern Light, and AltaVista. Yahoo! was among the most popular ways for people to find web pages of interest, but its search function operated on its web directory, rather than full-text copies of web pages. Information seekers could also browse the directory instead of doing a keyword-based search.

In 1996, Netscape was looking to give a single search engine an exclusive deal to be their featured search engine. There was so much interest that instead a deal was struck with Netscape by five of the major search engines, where for $5Million per year each search engine would be in a rotation on the Netscape search engine page. The five engines were Yahoo!, Magellan, Lycos, Infoseek, and Excite.

Search engines were also known as some of the brightest stars in the Internet investing frenzy that occurred in the late 1990s. Several companies entered the market spectacularly, receiving record gains during their initial public offerings. Some have taken down their public search engine, and are marketing enterprise-only editions, such as Northern Light. Many search engine companies were caught up in the dot-com bubble, a speculation-driven market boom that peaked in 1999 and ended in 2001.

Around 2000, the Google search engine rose to prominence.The company achieved better results for many searches with an innovation called PageRank. This iterative algorithm ranks web pages based on the number and PageRank of other web sites and pages that link there, on the premise that good or desirable pages are linked to more than others. Google also maintained a minimalist interface to its search engine. In contrast, many of its competitors embedded a search engine in a web portal.

By 2000, Yahoo was providing search services based on Inktomi's search engine. Yahoo! acquired Inktomi in 2002, andOverture (which owned AlltheWeb and AltaVista) in 2003. Yahoo! switched to Google's search engine until 2004, when it launched its own search engine based on the combined technologies of its acquisitions.

Microsoft first launched MSN Search in the fall of 1998 using search results from Inktomi. In early 1999 the site began to display listings from Looksmart blended with results from Inktomi except for a short time in 1999 when results from AltaVista were used instead. In 2004, Microsoft began a transition to its own search technology, powered by its own web crawler (called msnbot).

Microsoft's rebranded search engine, Bing, was launched on June 1, 2009. On July 29, 2009, Yahoo! and Microsoft finalized a deal in which Yahoo! Search would be powered by Microsoft Bing technology.

Search engines provide an interface to a group of items that enables users to specify criteria about an item of interest and have the engine find the matching items. The criteria are referred to as a search query. In the case of text search engines, the search query is typically expressed as a set of words that identify the desired concept that one or more documentsmay contain. There are several styles of search query syntax that vary in strictness. It can also switch names within the search engines from previous sites. Whereas some text search engines require users to enter two or three words separated by white space, other search engines may enable users to specify entire documents, pictures, sounds, and various forms of natural language. Some search engines apply improvements to search queries to increase the likelihood of providing a quality set of items through a process known as query expansion.

The list of items that meet the criteria specified by the query is typically sorted, or ranked. Ranking items by relevance (from highest to lowest) reduces the time required to find the desired information. Probabilistic search engines rank items based on measures of similarity (between each item and the query, typically on a scale of 1 to 0, 1 being most similar) and sometimes popularity or authority (see Bibliometrics) or userelevance feedback. Boolean search engines typically only return items which match exactly without regard to order, although the termboolean search engine may simply refer to the use of boolean-style syntax (the use of operators AND, OR, NOT, and XOR) in a probabilistic context.

To provide a set of matching items that are sorted according to some criteria quickly, a search engine will typically collect metadata about the group of items under consideration beforehand through a process referred to as indexing. The index typically requires a smaller amount ofcomputer storage, which is why some search engines only store the indexed information and not the full content of each item, and instead provide a method of navigating to the items in the search engine result page. Alternatively, the search engine may store a copy of each item in a cache so that users can see the state of the item at the time it was indexed or for archive purposes or to make repetitive processes work more efficiently and quickly.

Other types of search engines do not store an index. Crawler, or spider type search engines (a.k.a. real-time search engines) may collect and assess items at the time of the search query, dynamically considering additional items based on the contents of a starting item (known as a seed, or seed URL in the case of an Internet crawler). Meta search engines store neither an index nor a cache and instead simply reuse the index or results of one or more other search engines to provide an aggregated, final set of results.

Sejarah Kelahiran Internet

Konsep komunikasi data - penghantaran data antara dua tempat yang berbeza, dihubungkan melalui beberapa jenis media elektromagnet, seperti radio atau kawat elektrik - sebenarnya mendahului pengenalan komputer pertama. sistem komunikasi seperti itu biasanya terbatas pada titik ke titik komunikasi antara dua peranti akhir. sistem Telegraph dan mesin teleks boleh dianggap prekursor awal dari jenis komunikasi. Komputer yang sebelumnya digunakan teknologi yang tersedia pada masa itu untuk membolehkan komunikasi antara unit pengolah pusat dan terminal remote. Sebagai teknologi yang berkembang sistem baru yang direka untuk membolehkan komunikasi jarak lagi (untuk terminal) atau dengan kelajuan lebih tinggi (untuk interkoneksi peranti daerah) yang diperlukan untuk model komputer mainframe. Menggunakan teknologi ini adalah mungkin untuk bertukar data (seperti fail) antar komputer remote. Namun, point to point model komunikasi terhad, kerana tidak membolehkan untuk komunikasi langsung antara dua sistem sewenang-wenangnya, sebuah link fizikal yang diperlukan. Teknologi ini juga dianggap sebagai inheren tidak selamat untuk digunakan strategik dan ketenteraan, kerana tidak ada jalur alternatif untuk komunikasi dalam kes serangan musuh.
Sebagai respons, beberapa program penyelidikan mulai menjelajah dan mengartikulasikan prinsip-prinsip komunikasi antara sistem fizikal berasingan, mengarah ke pembangunan dari pakej switching model rangkaian digital. Usaha ini kajian termasuk orang-orang dari makmal Vinton G. Cerf di Stanford University, Donald Davies (NPL), Paul Baran (RAND Corporation), dan Leonard Kleinrock di MIT dan di UCLA. Penyelidikan ini menyebabkan perkembangan beberapa pakej-switched penyelesaian rangkaian pada akhir 1960-an dan 1970-an, termasuk ARPANET, Telenet, dan protokol X.25. Selain itu, akses awam dan sistem rangkaian hobi tumbuh dalam populariti, termasuk salinan unix-to-unix (UUCP) dan FidoNet. Namun mereka masih terputus-putus rangkaian yang berasingan, hanya dilayani oleh gateway terhad antara rangkaian. Hal ini menyebabkan pelaksanaan pakej switching untuk membangunkan protokol untuk internetworking, di mana beberapa rangkaian yang berbeza boleh menyertai bersama-sama ke dalam kerangka-super rangkaian. Dengan mendefinisikan sistem rangkaian sederhana yang umum, Internet Protocol Suite, konsep rangkaian dapat dipisahkan dari pelaksanaan fizikalnya. Ini menyebar dari internetworking mula membentuk ke gagasan rangkaian global yang akan disebut Internet, berdasarkan protokol standard rasmi dilaksanakan pada tahun 1982. Adopsi dan interkoneksi berlaku dengan cepat di seluruh rangkaian telekomunikasi maju dari dunia barat, dan kemudian mula menembusi ke seluruh dunia seperti itu menjadi de-facto standard antarabangsa untuk rangkaian global. Namun demikian, disparitas pertumbuhan antara negara maju dan negara-negara dunia ketiga menyebabkan jurang digital yang masih hari ini perhatian.
komersialisasi Mengikuti dan pengenalan pembekal perkhidmatan internet yang dikendalikan secara peribadi pada tahun 1980, dan pengembangan Internet untuk digunakan popular di tahun 1990-an, Internet telah memberi kesan drastik pada budaya dan perdagangan. Ini termasuk munculnya komunikasi segera dekat melalui surat elektronik (e-mel), forum perbincangan berasaskan teks, dan World Wide Web. Investor spekulasi di pasaran baru yang disediakan oleh inovasi ini juga akan mengarah pada inflasi dan kejatuhan berikutnya dari gelembung Dot-com. Namun, meskipun ini, internet terus berkembang, didorong oleh perdagangan, jumlah yang lebih besar dari maklumat online dan pengetahuan dan rangkaian sosial yang dikenali sebagai Web 2.0.

History of the Internet

2011-01-11T04:21:00.000+08:00

The concept of data communication - transmitting data between two different places, connected via some kind of electromagnetic medium, such as radio or an electrical wire - actually predates the introduction of the first computers. Such communication systems were typically limited to point to point communication between two end devices. Telegraph systems and telex machines can be considered early precursors of this kind of communication. The earlier computers used the technology available at the time to allow communication between the central processing unit and remote terminals. As the technology evolved new systems were devised to allow communication over longer distances (for terminals) or with higher speed (for interconnection of local devices) that were necessary for the mainframe computer model. Using these technologies it was possible to exchange data (such as files) between remote computers. However, the point to point communication model was limited, as it did not allow for direct communication between any two arbitrary systems; a physical link was necessary. The technology was also deemed as inherently unsafe for strategic and military use, because there were no alternative paths for the communication in case of an enemy attack.

As a response, several research programs started to explore and articulate principles of communications between physically separate systems, leading to the development of the packet switching model of digital networking. These research efforts included those of the laboratories of Vinton G. Cerf at Stanford University, Donald Davies (NPL), Paul Baran (RAND Corporation), and Leonard Kleinrock at MIT and at UCLA. The research led to the development of several packet-switched networking solutions in the late 1960s and 1970s, including ARPANET, Telenet, and the X.25 protocols. Additionally, public access and hobbyist networking systems grew in popularity, including unix-to-unix copy (UUCP) and FidoNet. They were however still disjointed separate networks, served only by limited gateways between networks. This led to the application of packet switching to develop a protocol for internetworking, where multiple different networks could be joined together into a super-framework of networks. By defining a simple common network system, the Internet Protocol Suite, the concept of the network could be separated from its physical implementation. This spread of internetworking began to form into the idea of a global network that would be called the Internet, based on standardized protocols officially implemented in 1982. Adoption and interconnection occurred quickly across the advanced telecommunication networks of the western world, and then began to penetrate into the rest of the world as it became the de-facto international standard for the global network. However, the disparity of growth between advanced nations and the third-world countries led to a digital divide that is still a concern today.

Following commercialization and introduction of privately run Internet service providers in the 1980s, and the Internet's expansion for popular use in the 1990s, the Internet has had a drastic impact on culture and commerce. This includes the rise of near instant communication by electronic mail (e-mail), text based discussion forums, and the World Wide Web. Investor speculation in new markets provided by these innovations would also lead to the inflation and subsequent collapse of the Dot-com bubble. But despite this, the Internet continues to grow, driven by commerce, greater amounts of online information and knowledge and social networking known as Web 2.0..

Musik Keras Tingkatkan Semangat Wanita

2011-01-10T21:52:00.002+08:00

Banyak orang senang mendengarkan musik dengan volume keras. Meski sebagian merasa terganggu dengan dentuman suaranya yang keras, namun sebuah penelitian mengungkap bahwa musik keras ternyata bisa memompa semangat wanita untuk meningkatkan aktivitasnya.

Aktivitas yang meningkat terjadi saat wanita bekerja dan berolahraga , apalagi jika suara keras berasal dari musik favoritnya. Studi tersebut menunjukkan bahwa mereka yang mengeraskan sedikit volume suara musiknya tidak hanya akan meningkatkan kinerja, tapi juga meningkatkan mood.

"Mereka bekerja lebih baik dan juga lebih bahagia. Secara psikologis, musik bisa membuat semangat seseorang terpompa dan membuat pekerjaan tidak terasa berat karena meningkatnya hormon adrenalin," ujar ketua studi tersebut, Janet McMordie dari University of Western Ontario, Canada seperti dikutip dari That's Fit.

Wanita yang mendengarkan musik lebih keras bisa melakukan olahraga lebih banyak sebelum rasa lelah datang ketimbang mereka yang mendengarkan musik dengan volume kecil. Menurut Gina Lombardi, seorang ahli fitness yang terlibat dalam studi tersebut mengatakan bahwa musik dapat membuat seseorang lebih banyak bergerak, meningkatkan kemampuan fisik dan membuat acara olahraga lebih menyenangkan.

Dari studi itu, Lombardi pun menyebutkan beberapa musik tempo cepat yang banyak disukai para partisipan, diantaranya "Boom Boom Pow (Black Eyed Peas), "Jai Ho" (A.R. Rahman dari film "Slumdog Millionaire"), "Poker Face" (Lady Gaga), "Waking Up in Vegas" (Katy Perry), "Summer Nights" (Rascal Flatts) dan juga lagu "Black or White", yang dipopulerkan Raja Pop Michael Jackson.

Pria Pilih Wanita Seksi untuk Hubungan Sesaat

2011-01-10T21:43:00.000+08:00

Pria yang ingin menjalin hubungan jangka pendek lebih tertarik kepada bentuk tubuh seorang perempuan daripada pria yang sedang mencari pasangan jangka panjang yang ternyata mementingkan wajah si perempuan.

Hasil riset dari sejumlah psikolog pada Universitas Texas, Austin mengatakan, bentuk tubuh wanita secara umum mengisyaratkan tingkat kesuburannya, sementara wajahnya memberi gambaran nilai reproduktif jangka panjangnya.

Penemuan ini menunjukkan bahwa pria yang berusaha membangun hubungan jangka panjang beradaptasi secara psikologis ketika mencari pasangan yang subur dan bisa hamil. "Prioritas pria bergeser, tergantung kepada apa yang mereka inginkan dari pasangannya, di mana wajah (perempuan) dianggap lebih penting manakala hubungan jangka panjang menjadi tujuan," kata mahasiswa psikologi yang ikut dalam riset itu, Jaime Confer.

Confer melakukan riset bersama mahasiswa psikologi lainnya bernama Carin Perilloux dan Professor David Buss. "Perkawinan adalah sentral bagi mesin seleksi alam. Penelitian ini membantu menegaskan preferensi manusia (pada pasangannya)," kata Confer dalam hasil studi yang dipublikasikan jurnal Evolution and Human Behavior itu, seperti dikutip Science Daily.

Sebaliknya, kaum perempuan tidak begitu mempedulikan bentuk wajah atau tubuh pria ketika mereka tertarik pada pasangannya, baik ketika hendak menjalin hubungan jangka pendek maupun jangka panjang. Penelitian sebelum ini telah mempelajari kualitas-kualitas yang membuat wajah dan tubuh menjadi atraktif, seperti kesimetrisan tubuh dan rasio ukuran pinggang terhadap pinggul wanita. Namun ini bukanlah penelitian pertama yang menganalisis secara eksperimental arti relatif wajah dan tubuh sebagai komponen yang utuh.

Pada penelitian itu, terhadap 375 mahasiswa diperlihatkan gambar seseorang yang wajah dan tubuhnya disembunyikan. Seseorang ini digambarkan bisa menjadi pasangan jangka pendek dan jangka panjang para responden. Para mahasiswa ini diberi opsi untuk mengamati kepala atau tubuh si objek, tetapi tidak boleh kedua-duanya. Ternyata, 21 persen pria yang disebut sedang mencari pasangan jangka panjang, memperhatikan tubuh pasangannya. Sebaliknya, 51 persen pria yang tengah mencari pasangan jangka pendek, memilih bentuk tubuh sang pasangan potensialnya itu.

Confer dan para koleganya tengah mempertimbangkan untuk menindaklanjuti riset di mana para peserta penelitian ditanyai apakah mereka lebih ingin mengetahui bentuk wajah atau tubuh seseorang yang mungkin telah mencuri pasangan asmaranya. Riset ini bisa membantu mengungkapkan apakah pria dan wanita tertarik kepada pasangannya karena wajah rupawan atau tubuh yang seksi.

Tanda-tanda Pria Tak Menyukai Anda

2011-01-10T21:22:00.002+08:00

Dalam buku barunya "Toxic Men" karya penulis yang juga seorang ahli bahasa tubuh, Lillian Glass, PhD, terungkap ada 10 gerakan pria yang dengan sengaja dilakukan untuk menyatakan ketidaktertarikannya kepada wanita. Jangan pernah buang-buang waktu dengan pria seperti ini jika terjadi pada Anda.

Maksud dari seorang pria tak sepenuhnya dimengerti oleh para wanita. Pihak pria juga memang tak terbiasa untuk mengungkapkan secara langsung apa yang dimaksudkannya. Jika Anda merasa lelah dan ingin tahu apa maksud pria yang anda suka, Anda bisa menyelidikinya melalui gerakan-gerakan tubuhnya. Berikut ada 10 gerakan pria versi Cosmpolitan.com yang bisa Anda teliti:

- Pria mulai menyandarkan tubuhnya dan menjauh dari Anda, walaupun Sedang berdiri atau duduk.

- Pria mulai gelisah berjalan mondar-mandir, kakinya digemetarkan dengan sengaja, atau menekan-menekan jarinya.

- Pria mundur saat Anda mencoba mendekatinya.

- Pria mulai menyilangkan tangan ditubuhnya atau di pundaknya secara berlawanan.

- Kaki si pria menunjuk ke arah yang berlawanan dengan kaki Anda.

- Si pria terus menaruh telapak tangannya dibawah saat berbicara dengan Anda dan gerak tubuhnya seakan-akan bicaranya kepada dirinya
sendiri, dan tidak ke Anda.

- Otot-ototnya tampak tegang atau kaku, tidak terlihat santai.

- Mata si pria terus menolak untuk berkontak langsung dengan Anda, atau terus melihat seseorang atau sesuatu di dekatnya.

- Si pria tidak melihat Anda dengan lurus, melainkan dengan tampak samping.

- Jika si pria tersenyum, bibirnya tertutup dan tak melihatkan giginya seakan bisu.
