Right. I’m not going to write something about SEO or web programming stuff. Definetely not that. But about something that always annoy me everytime it showed itself, back in my old place.

God, that was a nice neighbourhood, but .. the pest, man! Not that the place was in some dirty environment, but i don’t know, it got ants and cockroaches. I’ve kept my house clean and live there healthily, but somehow it didn’t give any good on the pest problem.

My mother give me some tips to keep the cockroaches off my place. Like fix any leaking pipes or dripping sink cause it will be a good water source for cockroaches. Get rid all the food waste and crumbs off the place, since they are the main food source for roaches. Also keep the food in airtight containers and as far as possible from the floor, will prevent pests like cockroaches from finding it.

She said that if doing that and keeping the house clean didn’t help, it’s time to get a help from professional pest control. Getting the best pest control will surely stop the pest problem. Like the one she called the other day, to get rid the ants off her house. She said they’re the best San Antonio pest control. They work fast and clean. But since i don’t live there, she told me to find the best pest control here.

I spent few minutes googling for the best pest control in town, and called them. The day after they did their work in my place, the pests are gone. And that’s what i called nice place to live. No ants, cockroaches, rodents, or any other pests.

I believe you guys would agree, that in the IT world, there’s no such thing as too smart or too knowledgeable. Right?

Yeah, well i got this friend, i’m not going to say a geek — but he’s very good on computers and IT stuff. We were friend since highschool and got alot of things in common but we’re different in hobbies.

Like, i’m so much into guitars and musics, while he’s interested in computers and tech stuff; i drools on hot women while he’s obsessed with cool gadgets. Lol. Seriously. He’s straight, but, you know, he’s a kind of guy who knows how computers work better than what a woman can do.

One day, i asked him to check one of my guitars, cause it start to sound weird and noisy. I was worried though, cause i wasn’t sure whether fixing a guitar hardwares are included in IT - Tech stuff or not. And you know what? In just 2 minutes, he founds out that it wasn’t my guitar that made the weird noise, but the amp.

I just go “What? Dude, i just bought that amp two weeks ago..”

“Yeah, i know. But neither of us knows how long it’s been sitting there in the store. Look. It’s rusty on the inside..” He replied. And it’s true. I sent it back and get a new one. Thanks to my genius friend.

And the other day, my computer start to crash and reboot itself over and over again. Man, that was frustating. I called my friend again, and said ” Dude, you gotta help me again. It’s my computer now. ”

He answered me “On my way. Don’t smash anything before i get there, okay. I can fix it.”

“Fine. if you must know, i already got my baseball bat on my hand. Dude, i’m only this close to ..”

“Alright..alright..Jeez, dude. I’m gonna steal that damn bat!” He answered and cut me off.

Gotcha!

When he got to my place, he just sat there in front of my computer, doing his thing while i just stand beside him, watch him said “umm..okay..how about this..no? okay..or this..and this..”. For 5 minutes, he did that weird thing on and on.

And finally, he sat back and said “okay..done..welcome back, you stupid computer.” “Now give me that stupid bat!” He yelled at me and took my baseball bat off my hand.

Me : “Dude..you’re genius!” I said and laughed. “But, seriously, dude..How can you know all this stuff ?”

Him : “Well, ummm .. maybe, because i used my brain instead of a baseball bat!”

Me : “Come on, dude .. seriously .. ”

Him : “Haha..okay..remember the computer training i told you about?”

Me : “Umm..which one..? i can’t remember.”

Him : “Ofcourse you can’t remember. You were drunk when i told you that. And you got your puke all over me!! Man, that was gross and you’re a stupid .. But i was the one who was so stupid to tell a drunk guy about a computer training!!”

Me : “Okay, man, i’m really sorry about that. Alright? Let’s just get over it, and tell me about that computer training.”

Him : “Right. Okay. Well, this computer training course use multimedia on-demand video lectures, live mentoring, lab simulations, modules testing, and stuff like that. I learn so many things from them and get so much knowledge about IT stuff.” He explained again.

Me : “What? i don’t get it.”

Him : “OMG, dude..you’re one little stu..”

Me : “Okay..okay..okay..calm down, man. Just give me the website. i’ll read about it myself. I promise.”

Him : “Right. it’s CareerAcademy.com. Write that down!”

Me : “Okay. thank you. thanks. i’ll get myself there and get some IT knowledge.”

Him : “Right. Good for you, dude.”

Okay, i just got off the phone with my internet provider’s customer support, asking what the hell is happening there and why i can’t access anything? They told me to reboot the modem or just wait, and let them made some report for my complaint.

Duh? I don’t need them to make me a complaint report cause i just did complaint, and i don’t want to waste more time waiting! I’m on a deadline here, man! And i can’t get it done if i don’t have any internet connection to upload it and get it online!

Just when i’m about to smash the modem to a wall, my brother called. He invited me to his apartment, to try his new internet connection which he claimed to be a super high-speed internet one. And i said yes, then hung-up the phone, packed my laptop and insanely full-throttled to my brother’s. Crossed few reds, but hell i don’t care. Said to myself: “Gimme speeding tickets or event impound my bike, but just let me upload my work first!”

Sigh. Story of my life.

Arrived at my brother’s apartment, i burst inside without knocking and said
“Ask your questions later, but now please help me upload my work! Please, man. My client is waiting!”

And he answered “Whoa .. Okay, relax dude .. just give me one minute to set things up.”

And he did. One minute later, i’m online and uploading. What shocks me more was my data is pretty big, and it was uploaded in less than 3 minutes. Seriously. I was shock. After catching my breath and slow my heartbeat that was faster than a grinding drum of a hardcore music, i called my client and spent few minutes confirming some stuff. And, it’s done. They like the result, and i’ll get the fee transferred right away.

Phew.

“Thanks, dude. I really appreciate the help. That was my client back there, and they said that they love their new website. And also they like me cause i was able to get it done on time. Thanks to you.” I said to my brother.

“Dude, my pleasure. And congrats to the job.” He replied and smile.

“So anyway, what’s with this new provider? Cause, it’s really fast, man. I mean, mine could never upload such a huge data that fast.” I asked him.

“Oh, it’s hughesnet. I bet you already heard of them.” He replied again.

“What? Seriously?”

“Yep. Well, if you must know, i was worried too. Since none of our friend use it because they said it’s only great for browsing, the download rate sucks, bla bla bla. Won’t give any good for us web developers and programmers. But now, both of us have proved how fast they are. So, i think i’m sticking with them.” He explained.

“Yeah, but how come it’s so fast, man? Like couple times faster from mine. Is it a new technology they’ve been using or what?”

“I don’t know. It’s a satellite internet just like the others, i guess, but i just know that it’s fast and reliable. And that’s all i need to know.”

Our talk goes on and on, and finally i spent the rest of my day there, talking a lot of stuff with him. He’s a cool brother, a genius web programmer, and a talented designer.

Now i don’t know with you guys, but as far as the internet is concerned, Reliability is numero uno! I mean, number one! No matter if you’re just a regular chatter or an online shopper, a web programmer, developer, designer, blogger, or an internet marketer, the most thing you need is a reliable internet provider with a stable and fast internet connection. Right, people?

Right! Okay, now get yourself a Hughes Net.

Yes, that is the answer I want to share everyone that today is my enjoying day in this weekend. I feel like everything working in my line, I mean the way that I like.

There ’s this neighbor of mine who ’s been tailing me over these past 2 weeks. Asking stuff, and all things online earning. Seems desperately interested he is. And to be honest, I ‘m a bit annoyed while I always admire his spirit when it comes to curiosity.

Pretty much un-fortunate for me, I ran into him this morning on my way to Iza Media office. As actually my office is — surprisingly — nearby his house, so it ’s not really an incidentally occasion. He told me that there ’s a thing in his head he need to ask me, — yet again — so we ‘re headed together to my office.

We ‘re here at my office, I turn my pc on, I sat, He sat. My pc reach the desktop, by that exact time I ‘ve already feels this heat like a heated volcano would exploded nearby me.
..and it explodes.

“So Jarot, after your whole explanations about online opportunities, I ‘d really like to know if to create a website is as easy as you ‘ve told me couple days a go.” There he goes, he has it.

“Umm, what?” It confused me a bit.
As I never really mention the “it’s-easy-to-create-a-website” part.

While I did explained some of the-what-and-the-how of how things works on the internet - and fyi this dude is aint a tech savvy to the core - I still remember it precisely that I never mentioned about making a website is easy.

“I ‘m positive, I never told ya that creating websites like what I have live up there is easy. Where did ya get that idea anyway?”

I replied lightly. Light up my A-Mild cig. Flat face mode : ON.
.. and you know what, he giggles.

“Haha, you got me on that. Yea, you never really mentioned it. I made that part up. So c’mon, gimme your secret.”

He just admit that he lied, yet he seems damn proud of it. I ‘m sure there’s something wrong with his head.

“What more secrets do you want, you ‘ve seen it all these last 2 weeks.”

I shoot back. Yet another headshot. I ‘m beginning to become an expert on this shooting back thingy.

Not Easy, Aleast for Me.

“All I did is code this code that — you ‘ve seen it — Create some graphics — you ‘ve seen it also — and blogging. That ’s that. And one thing for sure, to create A website is never easy. Atleast for me.”
I added some more pressures on my tone.

I can see this desperation is growing bigger on his eyes.

“So it ’s not easy huh?” he replied desperately, like he has loose the war of this century of something.
“I ‘m not really a designer, nor even a programmer like you, so the whole online earning thingy is really just for dudes like you? Right?” He ’s down even more.

IF there ‘re others on this room, they ‘d definitely cry a river for him seeing how desperate being he is this very second.

Me? Nah.. I ‘m NOT buying it. Not a bit.

He ’s been doing this the whole 2 weeks, So I know exactly he ’s faking it this time just like previously, and the previously previous. Maybe he thought it ’s his first time to trick me this way, or he might thought I don ‘t remember it anymore the last time he did it. I dunno.

I really think there ’s something absolutely wrong with his head.

So I slap it hard to make it right.

“Okay stop your lousy act now, you did it the same style even the same mimic like the last time. What was it, yeah, yesterday. So stop it.”

I slap it once more.

And he stopped, and mumbled, “Geez, it ’s not working!”
And looked up at me, putting up that — dumbest smile I ‘ve ever seen — on his face.

There ’s definitely something wrong with his head. Positive.

It called Website Builder

“Okay so, there ’s actually an easy way to create a professional website, and this one might be the one for ya. It called website builder. With this tool, you won ‘t need to be a designer nor programmer to built a website. You can point and click, right? Just add a bit imagination and BOOM, you ‘ve created a website. Wanna have those kind of professional lookie websites, it ’s all there for ya to choose.”

“Yup, this one is definitely for ya.” I concluded.
“Why don’t you say so!” He punch my shoulder hard.
“I just did.” I punch back. He took a cig from my A-mild pack. Light it up.
“So, man, tell me, Why don ‘t you use this website builder for all your websites up there?” He ask this thing, and this is the first time he asked a reasonable thing.

“Well, I ‘m a coder, remember? It ’s a pride for me to code my own site. As simple as that.”
I replied.
He stand up.

“Alritey, you can keep that pride and your wholesome code-this-code-that thingy of yours, I ‘ll definitely go with this website builder. I ‘ll see ya around buddy.”
He leave.
Just like that.

Oh well, It ’s great anyway, time to get back to work.
But wait.. where ’s my Amild cig pack?

Crap! That moronic creature took it with him!

Okay I must admit, this is the hottest day of the week. Not that there ’s a hot girl hopin up my desk or something. I mean, literally, referring to the SUN and its flare above my head. Gosh, I even took my shirt off when I ‘m typing this. Nope, I ‘m far from exhibitionist and all things related to get the fun of being with no clothes on, no. It ’s just really really hot here in my office. Like I could boil an egg in this plain air, ha lol. Yea, I may exaggerate a bit about the boil egg thing, but you get the point anyway.

This morning, somebody was really poppin up. Again — he ’s yet another just-so-happened-tobe-a-seo-analyst-wannabe buddy of mine. Not that I wasn’t expecting a company that morning, this smart-a55 buddy was suddenly lecturing me about some tricks to get our site on first page of search engine position result. I always referring to google when I mention search engine. Not really sure what his point at the very first part of his lectures, we have some discussions a bit about the topic he forced me to discuss, and after half of a pack of my cig pack is gone, he ’s gone.

Somethin bothers me right after he left. I may not be a Search Engine Optimization Analyst or such thing, but I did learn some lessons of my own on how to get things right in a matter of optimizing our site, for search engines sake, for readers sake, for browsers sake, and for all that really matters sake. AND, the most important part which really bothers me — well, beside this whole weather thingy — is.. almost all things he lectured me about were things that in My SEO list marked as black hat techniques or some may called ‘em Dirty tricks. Whoa, did I learn the wrong stuff, of is it his?

I may not be the-mr-always-right-all-the-time, but this time, I ‘m 100 percent sure, I ‘m NOT wrong. So, here ’s what he was lecturing me about this morning, which in MY SEO list, I ‘ve marked ‘em all as a black hat techniques, or Things you need to AVOID in a matter of optimizing your site for search engine position result, or, 10 Google DON`Ts — or should I also say — 10 Helluva Quick Ways to Get Google Kick Your Site ’s Out of the Indexing!

1. Cloak Your Site.

It ’s a way to make search engine see your web site as something, and visitors seeing something else. It can be done with some sneaky redirects or some programmings. Neither google, nor other search engines, nor visitors, likes to be treated — or should I say tricked — this way. It definitely is strictly forbidden, prohibited, verboten. Absolutely a no-no.
Cloak your site, google will definitely ban your site out.

2. Dupe Your Content

You know, spammers with their wholesome spam sites are doing their best these days to collect page views using this method. Duplicating the same exact content on some multiple pages.

Never, I repeat, never, copy and paste small part, even large part of contents from your own pages, or others elsewhere. It certainly violate copyright. And the most important thing we ‘re talking about here is Google — has been known banning sites with duplicate contents. The lightest scenario on getting kicked by google of this dupe issue is, getting penalized, either in rank, or in search result position.

Yea, copying and pasting contents from Free Articles sites may get you a go, as you won’t violate anybody’s copyright, but it ’s surely never be your getaway from being kicked by google.
It still is a duplicating issue, and google never miss one kick. I repeat, never.

How about other sites that duplicating yours? Well, easy peasy, report ‘em to google.

3. Buy a Machine to Create Your Content

This one is the same worst idea as duplicating content. You may ‘ve heard about it — or worst, You ‘re now using it — about programs that duplicate some contents, make few changes on some part of ‘em, and publish ‘em as a different content. Don ‘t even try to dare google to test your site ’s out, not even when you ‘ve bought the most-perfect-robot-writer on your side. Google pretty good on catching these kind of contents, and when they do, things you can do is say a bye-bye to your page views.

4. Stuff Un-Related Keywords

Did you heard that meta keywords are being marked as “Nah-this-part-is-no-longer-the-coolest” by Google? Some say google crawlers pass this meta, some say it still being read but not counted as an important part of ranking algorithm. But there’re things that remain the same, which are, un-related keywords that are being listed over and over again, and repeating the same keyword multiple times. These two, would definitely get your site ’s rank being lowered by google.

5. Being as a Known Associate of Bad Neighborhoods

It ’s about the right time I quote Marziah Karch saying - about this Bad neighborhoods term.

Google refers to malicious websites and spammers as “bad neighborhoods.” If you hang out in bad neighborhoods, you’re likely to be mistaken for a hooligan. The same is true of Web designers. If you link content to known spammers, Google might mistake your website for spam and lower its ranking in search results.

Link your site the natural way, the way this internet works, makes you a good citizen and a good neighbor of the internet world.

Having some one link yo your site never obligate you to link back to them. Feels free to do so, if you ‘ve checked it out and it ’s not a bad neighborhood. Otherwise, Don’t. Linking to some malicious websites and spamming sites is one sure-fire way to get your pagerank and search result rank being dropped by google. Again, google never miss one kick. I repeat, never.

6. Hide Your Text with Font-Matching Technique

This technique is all about stuffing some keywords — to make the page “strong” in a matter of keyword relevancy — within the page, by making it hidden using the same color as the background color. This one also known as the one and the famous “Keyword Stuffing”. Not just google, other search engines are becoming really really good on catching this, surprisingly.
The other variant of this technique is putting some absolutely tiny text at the bottom of pages, way way at the bottom, even visitors need to scroll it the whole day, and way way tiny even human need to wear a watchmaker glasses to see it.

Same old same old result. It doesn’t work. Search engines will catch it eventually soon or later. Same kick you ‘ll get.

7. Stack Your Title

This one is really the real younger brother of keyword stuffing. Done by adding some extra keyword to your Title. Win you any places on search engine result? Nope. Get the nice hard kick from google? Definitely.

8. Taking Part of Distributing Trojans, Viruses and Other Badware

It ’s pretty much obvious. Google will definitely remove you from their Index if your site is distributing a trojan, virus or some other badware. If you agree to distribute a software, make sure to double check and re-double check it, to make sure it ’s not harmful, for ya and for others.

The other flip side of it is, make sure your site is secure, and safe from hackers who could hijack yours, and distribute malicious programs under your hood.

9. Creating Doorway Pages

Some may call these pages as Gateway pages, which is the same term for pages that are created and optimized for one specified term but never really created as a real content. Instead, it really is just a gateway to the intended or the real page. These pages usually cloaked and redirected to the real pages. Google may consider affiliate pages as doorway pages. So be aware.

10. All things Automated Inquiries

This one is the last one, and my fingers are screaming to get a break. So, let ’s make this one quick. Google HATE, i repeat, HATE : robots writing you contents, checking you ranking, querying google’s services the automated way, link submission the automated way. They ‘re all against Google TOS, and for this one, google will kick you HARD and BADLY!

Let ’s Conclude ‘em

Those 10 above are really your quick ways to get your sites KICKED out by google. Long story short, Be a Jerk. And you ‘d buried your self successfully out of this planet ’s index.

The ball is on your court now, so decide it wisely. Play it safely.

Here we go again talking about one real commodity of all things internet business, web hosting. Yeah, we can’t go any further for our online business IF we don’t wanna involved with this essential part of online business. So what I ‘m gonna discuss this time is about what is unlimited hosting really mean.

Well you, me, us, seen it all over the place for this kind of offer, when we ‘re on our way to choose which web hosting is the right hosting for our need. Right? Here, there, and everywhere.. you ‘ll meet this unlimited plan offer. Just f-y-i, a.k.a for your information, there 2 main elements of a web hosting plan. Bandwidth and Disk space, or you can say disk space and bandwidth, both means the same anyway, either you ‘re saying it by disk space first or bandwidth first. (So why bother writing it with an OR? not really sure, whatever. )

Okay so, unlimited always attractive in some obvious ways. One thing for sure is it requires you no more thought. Well it ’s unlimited right, you won ‘t have to worry about running it out. Right? Uh huh, it ’s a common public thought. and that ’s pretty much the main reason why this unlimited thingy being placed all over the place by web hosting providers to gain more clients or customers. While truth is always bitter, you ‘ll found out real soon that the real truth behind the unlimited-webhosting-offer scene is bitter even more.

Is Unlimited web hosting really Unlimited?

Nope. It ’s NOT. It ’s just an un-real thingY, with a capital Y. Why?
You know, here ‘re some facts you need to know why this unlimited offer thingy would never happened, not in this lifetime near future,

1. Disk space is “the” space where you ‘d allot on server as your website storage. It cost money. Check.
2. Bandwidth is “the” amount of data capacity transferred from the server to visitor’s browser to display requested web pages. It cost money also. Check.
3. Graphics, web pages, flash files, other file formats stored on server and requested by visitors browser consume bandwidth. Check.
4. Network lines that would carry data all over the web have its finite capacity, and it’s limited at any point at a time. Check.
5. Hard drive of a server always has limited amount of space depends on how big the hard drive is, in a matter of capacity. There ‘re no such thing as hard drive with unlimited capacity. Check.
6. 5 points above, all cost lotsa money. Check.
7. All web hosting providers have this contract with their own ISP for their internet connection. Which is Limited. So with this capability they have there never will be a chance they could provide unlimited bandwidth for their customers. Check.

Make sense?
Let ’s go thru some more deeper then..

Yet Another Humpty Dumpty Speaking

Christopher Heng of sitewizard dot com, explained it wide plus in a great way how this unlimited term is just another humpty dumpty speaking. Here I quoted a bit :

In Lewis Carroll’s “Through the Looking Glass”, Humpty Dumpty redefined the meaning of the word “glory” to mean “a nice knock-down argument”. When Alice, to whom he was speaking, protested that that was not the correct meaning of the word, Humpty Dumpty replied:
“When I use a word,” Humpty Dumpty said in a rather scornful tone, “it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.”

So, when you find web hosting providers use this unlimited term to say that you would have unlimited disk space and/or bandwidth, it always get redefined to some other definitions at their own discretion. While the real meaning of it may vary from one provider to another, surprisingly - the real definition is always an antonym of “unlimited” you ‘d found in the English dictionary. Funny? Not really.

They Always Define What’s their “Unlimited” Term Really Means.

Really?
Yeah, seriously.

Always look at their fine print, the Term of Use. They always explained the further definitions of their-so-called-unlimited-hosting. Here ’s an example of it from one web hosting provider, how unlimited disk space being redefined, on its fine print:

1. “you can add as much content as you want, but maybe not all at once“
   
   Real english meaning : You can NOT use the unlimited disk space in one shot. You should use some amount first, and then add some more at some other different time. The amount you could use in one same ride never really explained. Who ‘d decide how big is it, each time? The provider, pretty obvious.
2. “The vast majority of our customers’ sites grow at rates well within our rules, however, and will not be impacted by this constraint“
   
   Real english meaning : How many amount in Mega bytes you could use by the first row, at which rate you could have the disk space increased, is ain’t stated. Long story short, it never really let you to get to know how much capacity you could really use. Yet you ‘ve forced to do so, without any objections at any forms.

So All Unlimited Offers are Humpty Dumpty?

Well, not exactly. When it comes to disk space and/or bandwidth, yeah it is. To be precise, it should be. But when I see one web hosting provider advertise on its landing page that they offer unlimited email accounts, it might be true. Although I never really tested it out to their real limits, but these kind of features are usually being limited already by other aspects of your account - I ‘m referring to disk space - which is it may be the reason why the host provider doesn’t really bother to restrict the number of email account you’d use.

There you go, you ‘ve know the whole scenario behind “unlimited plans.
So, what now?

Best Practices

Plan it ahead. You should really calculate the type of disk space and bandwidth you ‘ll gonna need for your site(s) and then multiply ‘em by two or more than 2 - for some expansion purposes.

When you ‘ve felt into these kind of scheme and found out this real truth a lil bit too late and you ‘re facing the fact that you ‘ve really used all maximum amount of this so-called-unlimited-plans of your hosting provider, you ‘ll get your self shutdown and being forced to upgrade to some higher package, such as VPS (Virtual Private Server) or Dedicated Server. This pretty much the real situation some publisher buddies of mine confessed me some while back, so choosing a dedicated server plan is always a great leap and getaway for you who ‘ve already have some developed websites with some real serious traffics.

For the Sake of the Mother Earth

What ’s up with Saving the Planet slogan? I ‘m all virtual here. The internet never really has anything to do with this Planet and its break down. Right? Or, is it?

Well, buddy, internet is all virtual. But all machines that run the whole internet thingy are physically existed on this planet. It took resources and spit some waste to this planet’s surfaces, cores and atmosphere. So yeah, the internet and the whole technology run along with it took part on destroying this mother earth. Taking your part of saving it in any available forms is always a good use for the earth.

So you ‘re a Green Peace kind of person now?
I am, and I always will be. Not that I ‘m one of its active member who took part in every demo and act to save the planet, no. Like I mentioned above, I took a part on my own act, in some available form for me. Well, I ‘m a web developer, I used web hosting services alot, so green hosting plan is one real form for me as taking part of this saving-the-planet act.

All in all

Get your self educated a bit more about how web hosting providers do their business by referring to their Terms of use is always a wise move. Do your researches on Web hosting review such as WHG, is one real move. Do choose green hosting to take your part on saving our lovely environment for the sake of this planet and our grand and grand grand children - is way way nobel move of all.

That ’s that. I ‘m out.

You guys know Wade Wilson, right? Which later becoming Deadpool - which is the Weapon XI, from X-men Origin - Wolverine 2009 big screen? This buddy of mine got the exact speedy tongue just like Wade. Sorta make me dizzy hearing ‘em mumbling around about everything and anything that just floated out of his mind. He ’s even got this same answer as Wade every time ones got tired of it and shout to shut him up. “Not When I ‘m awake”.

But, this evening is a different story. I wont get tired of his speaky thingy he ‘d shoot. As I ‘d keep him busy with this some sorta challenge I got this morning in my mailbox. I ‘ve mentioned previously, I ‘m not really into Search engine optimization and such, not even an SEO analyst or make a living hourly by it. But these kind of emails keep coming in and yeah, I always try to do my best to respond ‘em. This email was asked my service - while I never really offer any SEO or SEM service - to optimize his Credit and debt consolidation site. I giggled a bit when this one coming in this morning. Not that this subject is my fave, no, it’s just.. it finally arrives, the real - like real real - moment to give this Weapon XI buddy of mine a real play. Well he ’s always mumbling around about this mojo thingy he ’s got to optimize any type of site quoted to his desk - while I never really see any live prove of ‘em. Ha, this is it.

He sit, grabbed my cig pack, I quickly grab my nescafe-original-can to avoid him grabbing it.
“So bud, what’s goin on with ya this evening with Vai’s Lotus Feet inside your head?” Hah, he shoot me first.
“You know, same old same old, code this code that, kinda sorta..” I shoot back,
“Hey, you know what, I got this exact cup-of-coffee of yours, thought you ‘d interested. SEO thingy, a Credit and debt consolidation site owner wanna make his site to the first page search engine position result for this debt consolidation keyword. Wanna take a look at it?”
He replied quickly, “Hell yea I wanna look at it.”

I shoot back perfectly, one bullet only, a head-shot.

I show him the email, he read it really-really carefully, while behind him, I can’t help my giggles. “Yup, this one definitely my daily cup.” He finally sat back to his chair.

“Wanna work on it? I ‘ll deal with the pricing and stuff with the client. Will make sure you get enough cut. I know your price.” I ‘m sitting back to my chair. “Sure thing, on it.” He replied.

“So what ’s the plan? Wanna share your tipsy tricks? You know you ‘re way way above my ceiling in a matter of SEO thingy. Is it hard? Optimizing Credit and Debt Consolidation Site?.” I ‘m starting the spread of my spider web with his fave bait - flattery.

He bite, and here comes his secret to optimize credit and debt consolidation site.

1. SEO is Ain’t an Overnight Service.

“We ll, not really. First thing you need to definitely bold and underlined for this client is, there ‘re no such thing as instant in SEO. Everything should be done in a natural way. And that, took times and efforts. If he ain’t got both, that ’s exactly why my service is around.

2. There ‘re Only 3 Search Engines in Planet Earth.

“Have you ever heard about some services that offer this auto submit to 1000 search engines and such?” He asked and light up another cig. “Uh huh, heard ‘em over and over again.” I replied lightly. “Alrite, mark this one”, he said, “In this planet there ‘re only 3 Search engines only. Which is Google, Yahoo and Live - some still mentioned it as its old name, MSN. While it’s common public miss-understand thing.” I ‘m a bit shocked with this one. Seriously, I do. He saying it out loud, plus, no paused. “So what about the others, such as askdotcom, answersdotcom, aol blah blah blah? Aren’t they also search engines.”

“Nope. They ‘re all using the same data center, which is either its Google’s, Yahoo’s, or Live’s. And do notice I always mentioned this big 3 on the same exact order. It ’s the exact order or those 3 in a matter of how strong they are dominating this planet’s search queries.” He said it with a flat face. I was like, huh? And then completely numb. Well, he got the point. So he ’s not making it up if in his ops search engine in this planet earth is Google, Yahoo and Live. Not really interested to ask him about what he call for the others.

3. On site / On Page Optimization is the Base

“Okay, the next buddy, would be your thing. The on-site codes. All things SEO should be started from the site. The site it self should be coded to optimize and maximized to help search engine’s crawlers to read and collect data from our site. I wont tell you the how on this, as in a matter of web coding, you ‘re the man - I ‘m not. Still see some websites being coded wrongly from the seo point of view, titles not maximized and static, headers being coded with no heading, and stuff. Really bad. So Not Bold. So I guess, the very first step for this credit card debt site is yours to re-code it.” He explained. “Gotcha,” I replied shortly. The whole onsite coding to optimize the seo thingy not really amazed me. I ‘m on this field for a long long time. I got it on my fingers already. What amazed me the most is, he tells me all those above with one single breath! Sorta reminds me how Ace Ventura do his thing when he concluded one case.

4. Unique Content, was and Still IS the King.

From this point I ‘ll cut the conversation style of writing to skip all of his real words and all of our activities while we ‘re on it to save the space. He then explaining what ’s next after the site is done coded. It ’s the content. He bold - highlite - and underline it. This credit and debt consolidation site should have unique contents, not copies from others, written for visitors and internet people around the globe, not for the search engine. Yup you might ‘ve heard this one also as in Google guidelines.

5. Link Building

This would be the closing part which is the part which conclude all the works. Included within are socializing, building social reputation, creating new link neighborhood, connecting to the same niche such debt consolidation loans, credit card debt relief solution, debt consolidation, loans, personal loans and other related niches, keeping this site linking within this safe and related neighborhood, and manage it for some certain time period to analyze how the link network created and grows.

You know what this tiny lil thing called booklet printing, right? A small book, pretty similar to a catalog, informational pamphlet, training manuals, program overviews, travel guides, or operational manual? We live our life everyday with this kind of thing. I bet not much of us know exactly what this tiny little thingy called. My neighbors don’t.

When it comes to design stuff, it always has this need to be unique. Text, layout, graphics, shapes, colors, and such thing. It applies also to booklet printing cover design. Each type has each own uniqueness. It should. For booklets, cover always reveal its professionalism level. And this pretty much the part that would determine consumers interested to read all information carried inside or put it away.

No, I ‘m not gonna write about how to create high quality fancy graphics and some techniques on how to do that. It ’s about how to create your Booklet printing cover that would catch the consumer ’s eyes and interest. Which would lead them to un-cover the cover and get all things carried inside un-covered. Yeah, I mean to read it.

1. Spend the Time.

All things design need its own milestone. Regardless what type of design you ‘re working on. Each ideas, the seek of the perfect colors, the catchiest layouts, yet strongest typography possible. It needs time. So spend as much time as it needs. Don’t create things half perfect. Always work your best.

2. Typographical Thingy

Other than all the fancy graphic stuff, Typography still RULE. Choose letters with flags which joining the letter such Times New Roman, Georgia or serif fonts, for your cover. Less fancier, but for the goal of easier to read and eye catchy, this would be your first choose. Make it large, and stands out from other smaller texts.

3. Engaging Image

It would be useless creating a booklet cover with no image on it. You need to. Always add image element to your cover design which would be the accurate portrays of the booklet subject. SO it need to be engaging and accurately accurate. Feature items, for example. Some related animal photos if the booklet is all about protecting the almost extinct species. Include some tags for your images, that would encourage readers to found out more, look inside, and read the booklet.

4. Back Cover Matters

Yeah, I type it right, and you read it right. Back cover matters. Readers often glance it before they decide to read or not to read. So, never leave it blank! Don’t ever. What to put? Well, you know.. a lot. More photos of items or products, some other related images to the subjects, your photograph, your company bio, author ’s bio, organization ’s bio. You can also include contact point for more information, quotations from other supporters or customers, or synopsis of the written subject. See? A lot.

5. Professional Printing Service

Do consider to use professional booklet printing company. It always help to increase your booklet attractiveness. Why so? Well the why would be more into how a commercial printer can always produce smooth images and vivid color printing. Which would always make your booklet the more eye catchy than using a regular office printer. Strong binding, is another plus point of using printing company. The booklet need it strong to hold up some repeated page turning over and over and over again. Something you can’t find at regular office or home.
hing that a printing company offers.

So, you ‘re aiming the spot where clients or consumers would see for the very first sight. The exterior. Design it and design it good, to build the passion of the consumer to come inside and checking out the interior.

What do you think? Thoughts?

Yeah, you got it right, it’s YET another tips to find web hosting. When you google this keyword, you ‘d get upto 9 mils results on how to choose web hosting. So why bother to write something within the same topic? I do this as a personal note. A place where can I bookmark, where the most fun part is it’s my own place. With the spirit of Adding some values out of what ’s already there out there, I ‘m continuing my typing.

1. Speed and Reliability.

Web host should be fast, yet reliable. You ‘d notice this word “UPTIME” mentioned all over webhost provider. It refers to the time when this offered service is functional. Did you even know that you should go for the one with minimum uptime 99%? You heard me right, 99% is a minimum. Don’t go anything below it. In fact, 99% is too low. You should actually go with higher than 99.5% uptime. Guarantee always reflect to some amount of compensation. Be sure you got that in hand.

2. To Go or Not To Go With Unlimited

Point 2 here would be about traffic or sometimes called bandwidth which refer to the real state: Data Transfer. How much amount of bytes that your site transferred to your visitor when they ‘re on your site and browse around. To go or Not to go with Unlimited bandwidth offers, that ’s the question. Never believe any “unlimited” terms advertised on some web host, as unlimited is ain’t really unlimited at all in the end. You ‘d never be able to use that oh-so-called-unlimited-amount, ‘coz it will always hit other limits - which sometimes specified somewhere else where you could find it being redefined to be “yeah-it-actually-is-limited” in some way. Always go for offers that stated clearly how much traffic of some offered packages allows.

Oh, if you still need me to say it out loud, the answer would always be, Not to Go. And buddy, this point is also applied for this popular term called Unlimited Disk Space. End of point 2.

3. A Real Functional Technical support

When I say functional, I mean functional. You know, when you need ‘em they around. When You ask things they answered. Do they offered a functional 24/7 support? Refers to 24 hours a day - 7 days a week. Refers to all year around? You ‘ll gonna need a webhost that have staff working on weekends and some national holidays. Things often went wrong at some of the most inconvenient times, and you ‘d be surprised that a web hosting provider that advertise 24/7 support doesn’t really have this kinda support on their end. I ‘ve got some worse moments of my own with this kind of provider. I got my self in to a webhost that run by bunch of salesmen, which have this smooth talky-talk, but not really how to fix problems. So tested it out first.

4. Some Fancy Thingy Called Software

I ‘m referring to these things : PHP, .htaccess, FTP, MySQL, Perl, SSI, telnet, crontabs, SSH, Email, POP3, Auto Responders, Mail Forwarding. Make sure, you have all that, and you can use each and every one of ‘em without asking for approval first. Yeah, there ‘re some web hosts don ‘t allow you install Perl or PHP scripts, not without their approval. You can’t really have some SEF (search engine friendly) url or customized Error pages if you don ‘t have access to .htaccess. You ‘ll gonna need MySQL to create database based kinda of websites. You ‘ll gonna need all email functions such your own email address (on your own domain name), auto responder, pop3, forwarding.

I ‘m also referring to Shopping Cart and SSL / secure server, if you ‘re planning on creating an e-commerce site that need to collect credit card for your payment. Stay clear of web hosting provider that don ‘t offer these facilities provided.

5. Your Own Administration Backend

This point here I ‘m talking about would be the Control Panel. You may find it being called with some other various names, such Control Panel, Admin Panel, Cpanel and such. A place where you could administer all things about your own hosting account on your own. You don’t wanna spend your money to a web hosting that whenever you need to create your email address, you should ask their support to do so, right? It ’s one of the most common thing we webmaster do all the time over and over again, and it would be great great hassle if it should be a “should-wait-on-technical-support” kinda task.

6. Multiple Domain and Sub-Domains

You should definitely aim for this if, you ‘re planning on having multiple domains or multiple sub domains. Check out also, the extra amount - if there ‘re any - they would charge for this extra feature.

7. Operating System Types

Yeah, the type of server and operating system of it, is matter. Well, you can’t really go for others if you ‘d use asp programs, you would need to go with Windows server. In other flip side of it, is the more stable, feature-laden and often cheaper Unix-based systems, which runs Apache server. Me, Unix-based is my preferable and favorite choice. The why is, with the same goal of creating dynamically generated pages which access the database, writing it down on PHP is alot more MORE then tying down to ASP. I meant it. You could configure a lot of facilities with no requirement to ask your technical support to implement ‘em. Isn’ t it the coolest thing?

8. Payment Plans and Pricey Thingy

Price always is factor. And most go for the cheapest. But not in this post. It ’s about things to help you to find the Best web hosting, and NOT the cheapest one. Based on my own personal experiences, go for the cheaper one is desirable, but the other flip side of it, is you would often get what you’ve paid for. Cheaper always means lack on something. In my experience, they always lack on support, uptime, and speed. It doesn’t necessarily always mean that the best is the most expensive one. Not always. So playing the period plans would help you a lot on testing out things. Buying a monthly package would allows you to switch quickly if your web host turned out to be dissatisfying.

9. Reseller Web Hosting

It ’s a term of a web hosting who doesn’t really own their web servers. They ‘re a reseller of some other hosting company. It would be disadvantages, as you might be dealing with some people who don ‘t really know the what and the how the system they ‘re selling. But, not all resellers are disadvantages, as there ‘re some reliable and fast resellers which actually good and cheaper than their orig hosting company. Bottom line is, if you ‘re in this situation, your best shot is investigate both.

User Reviews

It always matters to hear things from users end. They ‘ve been there using the services, so hearing from them about their experiences on how certain web hosting services doing so far would always be great point of consideration for ya. For me it ’s pretty much essential. Do some researches to some web hosting reviews, of some top 10 web hosting listing. Spend your time to read, you wont regret of the “found-out” you ‘d discover.

Okay so, I ‘m having this strange de-javu again by the time I read this writing. As all things above - you could find ‘em already out there. Well, atleast I write ‘em down on my own perspective. Somebody might thought my point of view is interesting, who knows? Hope it help you out in some sort of point.
