Google is on its way to establish monopoly on the Internet with the public DNS service.DNS (Domain Name System) in simple word is a set of protocols that translates IP address into names.Every computer on the Internet has an IP address.Thus, the server which is to be accessed by the client, must have have its IP address translated to a name.Like, when we type www.google.com it points to the IP address of the Google server.

Google SandBox Algorithm and Search Engine Ranking

technoplex1@gmail.com — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 19:28:23 PST

Google sandbox algorithm has been one of the most controversial topic of discussion in the SEO world. Though it is not established, it’s effect is palpable as reported by web masters. We know that backlinks (external sites linking to a particular site) play a vital role in SERP (search engine result page) and page rank of a site. Earlier, new sites with quality back links used to boost their search engine ranking, soon after their inception. But, as always after changing of algorithm by Google, this is not happening anymore. There is dampened link juice pass after algorithm change.

What is Sandbox??

According to perception a new site, in the sandbox will not rank well for the relevant and competitive keywords in comparison to aged domain. Although there is good SEO and quality content in the new site, it'll suffer out of bad SERP.
A new site might rank well for a limited time period. But, soon there will be a drop in organic traffic (traffic from search engine).The concept behind this is, with initial boost in the ranking, it will gain backlinks with quality content. Otherwise, this will take a much longer time to rank well.

How to know if site has been Sandboxed??

Does Google bot accesses your site frequently ?
Does the site rank well on other search engines like Yahoo or Bing ?
Does the site features unique and quality content ?
Have you applied good white hat SEO tactics to the site ?
Do you see a huge difference in the result for allinanchor:keyword and general search of the keyword ?

If the answer to the entire questions given above is yes, then your site has been probably Sandboxed.

How to tackle Sandboxing??

You can buy an aged domain with PR (more than 4 or 5).So that you won't have worry a lot about backlinks and sandboxing. All you have to do is to get some quality content and clean SEO approach. While buying these domains, stay away from the ones with dropped PR. One thing is that, their price will be high.
Other than that, you can optimize your site with long tail keywords. With some smart SEO you can jump into top 10 of SERP for long tail keywords.
Try to get some one way backlinks from high authority websites.
For primary keywords you can drive traffic from Hubpage or Squidoo lenses. They rank well for some competitive keywords. Only thing you have to make sure that your Hubs and Lenses share hot keywords/tags of relevant Hubs or Lenses.
Before creating your site you can check competition for specific keywords from Google Adwords Keyword Tool. The fully filled green box shows that, particular keyword is highly competitive and there are enough sites in the queue.

Link building has to be done in a steady and not too fast manner. Any anomaly can make search engines flag your site. So, patience will be best policy in this hurdle.

My Experience :

In the month of July, 2009 I registered a brand new domain and made a fresh WordPress installation. The site is in movie and entertainment niche and this is a highly competitive niche.

Within 2-3 weeks of its inception, the search engine ranking of my site for a semi competitive keyword was at top 3 without any directory submission and quality backlinks.Since then it has been toggling among top 3,4,5 position of Google SERP.Site doesn't rank well for highly competitive keyword. But, addition of an extra word sends it to top 3.Most interesting thing is that, for the same keyword numero uno position is held by a 2 year old blog that is not getting updated since early 2009.

But, I've managed to drive some healthy traffic from Hubpage method, as the Hub pointing to my site ranks at 9th position for a highly competitive keyword mentioned above. I’ve not yet created Squidoo lenses. But, I'm optimistic about its ranking. The website will be flipped around December, 2009.I'll get you updated if I notice anything worthy before that phase.

technoplex1@gmail.com — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 22:14:18 PST

You may have heard about websites giving freebies such as free laptops. If you are having second thoughts checking these sites, this may help. Here are some tips that will guide you on how to look for legitimate sites that give away free laptops.

* When you do your search online, it is most likely that you will be able to pull up several websites that offer freebies like free laptops. Visit at least three (3) websites.

* Compare the offers. They range from completing online surveys to subscription to phone or broadband to evaluating new laptop models about to be released in the market. It is important that you fully understand what you have to do to receive your free laptop computer.

* Some of the websites that you will come across with may appear to be legitimate but end up as scams. Don’t fall for such. You have to exercise your good judgment. A good gauge is to check the contact details. If they are verifiable, then it is almost always that they are good sites. Otherwise, you have to discontinue and channel your time and efforts to another.

* It pays to do some research prior to committing to the website. You can learn from other online users about the legitimacy and authenticity of the offer. Visit forums or reviews. There are testimonies and comments that you can find useful in deciding which offer to consider. There are those who are satisfied with their free laptop computer while others who may have been frustrated are just too generous to put the negative comment online. The decision is yours.

You can always get your free laptop computer online. But you must also be able to go to the correct site that will show you upfront what it takes to get your freebies. One trusted site you can visit is http://www.freelaptopoffers.us/

Shutdown Computer From Mobile Using PHP

technoplex1@gmail.com — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 03:55:06 PDT

On the Internet there are some tutorials about shutting down a computer from a mobile phone.But, in this tutorial we'll check out a way to shutdown a computer from a mobile phone using PHP.For those who don't know PHP, it is a scripting language in simple words.We are PHP as it is a server side scripting language,platform independent and open source.That means we don't have to worry about whether the system runs on Windows or Linux.The procedure is really simple.All we have to do is to set up a server on the computer with PHP and execute system command to shutdown the computer.

1.SERVER SETUP

We'll use XAMPP to set up the server.Believe me it is too easy.

Go to xampp home page.Download the available package (installer or zip archive).

Now,follow the instruction given on their site to install the server.Actually installation is just unzipping the archive to a directory.The installation will take just around 2 minute.

However you check my previous post on setting up server on home computer.

2.PHP code

After installing XAMPP, just open up XAMPP directory.Then you will locate htdocs folder.Open that and create a new directory/folder.You can name it anything you want.Suppose the name of the new folder is shutdown.
Open the newly created folder shutdown and create a new file with index.php extension.
Now open up index.php file and place the nice little code if you run windows.

<?php
echo 'Shutting down';
exec("shutdown -s -t 30"); //30 means shutdown after 30 seconds
?>

3.Creating URL

Go to no-ip.com and register a free sub-domain and point it to the the following

http://YOUR-IP-ADDRESS/shutdown/

To find out your ip address just visit any site like http://checkmyip.com/.

That's it.Now you visit that link with no-ip subdomain from your mobile phone to shut down the computer.

CHUCK NORRIS FACTS :

A homage to the martial arts expert and star of action films such as The Delta Force.Visitors contribute outrageous claims for Chuck's toughness:

"Chuck Norris doesn't read books.He stares them down until he gets the information he wants."
