With the launch of the internet giant's (Google) new search algorithm: Panda, the structure and design of website is now much more important. Gone are the days whereby all you needed to rank your website high in the search results was to have a lot of links. It did not even matter even if the links were spammy or not. The more links you had, the higher you ranked for your desired keywords.

Sitemaps are very important for SEO because it gives the search engines the proper path to find, crawl and index your blog pages. In an earlier post I explained how to submit sitemap to bing. The procedure for giving your sitemap to google is not too different from that of Bing.
For google all you need do is to make a one-time submission based on the number of posts you have. Just like I said in the previous post, sitemaps are one of the factors for getting your blog high up in the SERPs.

Ever wanted to troubleshoot your PC but do not even know where to begin?
Have you ever tried to make use of a specific Windows system tool but do not know where to find it?
Have you ever felt like being in total control over your PC and not having to run to the computer geeks in order to fine tune or modify your PC to your taste?

If you are a Windows operating system user then you will definitely come across virus infected programs from time to time. You will come across them more often if you make lots of downloads and also if you like to try out new programs(epecially the free ones).
You would also come across them if you have to crack a program using keygen or patches which are widely available on the internet.
I download programs a lot and I also like to try out and discover new and rare programs. Many times, I also have to get the crack of some program because I don't want to buy the product serial key/activation key ;-)

Nobody likes it when you insert your USB flash drive into a computer system and it catches a virus. Many people often panic when their USB flash drive catches a virus or they are always so careful how they insert their flash drives in other people's computer systems.
I'm never scared of putting my flash drive in any PC because I know how to see if my flash drive has caught a virus and I also know how to easily remove the virus.
There are different kinds of viruses. I don't know much about them but I know of the following types:

The Aero Shake is a Windows 7 feature that I did not even know of in a long time. To know about what Aero Shake is, grab a window in your Windows 7 and shake it, all other windows will be minimized. That's a cool feature right?
It's very useful while you are multitasking. You have a couple of windows open and it gets to a point where you need to have only one window active; you can put the Windows Aero Shake feature to use instead of minimizing all other windows, then bringing up the one you want.

The new Facebook chat bar is a good development from Facebook but it can be annoying at times.
Personally, I feel that it should have the option for collapsing it. I'm sure there are many other Facebook users out there who also feel the same way.

If you own a blog, you should ping your blog regularly to tell the Search Engines that your blog has been updated. By doing this you are inviting them to crawl your blog and update your listing in the Search Engines.

Below is a list of good services which I also use

I actually ran into problems inserting Adsense code and getting it to work on my posts on Blogger. I was trying to do it the popular and common way but that did not work for me so I decided to think outside the box and I was eventually successful at getting it to work for me. Read on to see how I did it.

How to display Adsense code in your Blogger posts:

• Log in to your Blogger account

• Click on Design and then Edit HTML

Blogger comes with a good comment box by default and it's okay but you can also get a better performance and functionality from other third party integration such as the one offered by Disqus.

Disqus offers the following features:

• Realtime comment system

Comments become more like live discussions with realtime posting and updating. By offering a faster, more intuitive experience.

• Notification and reply system

By default, blogger templates are not optimized for good search engine results on the major search engines. In order to be relevant on the internet you need to be visible on the search engines and one important thing they look out for is your title tag.
Every blog or website needs traffic or else what is your website there for? you may write good content or make your blog look really good but you also need to make the big guns of the internet have a unique title tag to your blog.

Yes! it is very possible to download any YouTube video without using a software.

I'm proud to give you this tip or short tutorial. It's a really cool thing if you know ways of going around things.
This is about using an advanced search term in google to download softwares, music or any file.
Searching for information in Google is not only about typing in keywords.

There are also advanced search strings that can get you advanced results like the one I'm giving our now. I have used this to get many softwares out there that are supposed to be for sale. One cool thing about this where for-sale softwares are concerned is that I discovered that most of these softwares are overpriced.
Without further ado

In configuring your PC for free browsing you have two options and the options are either to enter your settings in the system's main connection manager or to configure you browser alone.

Either of the two options has its benefits. The benefit of configuring the overall system settings is that you might be able to have your windows update functioning, your antivirus updating and you can have almost all of the internet enabled applications on your system working but then you will definitely lose bandwidth generally especially if your connection is GPRS or EDGE. I connect using 3G so I use this option and most of the time I do not experience any form of lag in the connection. But if you are connecting using EDGE you might want to configure your browser only.

Configuring Your Browser
Not all browsers can be configured on their own. Below are some of the browsers you can't configure:

• Google Chrome
• Internet Explorer
• Safari

Below are some of the browsers you can configure

• Mozilla Firefox
• Opera
• Flock

In configuring your browser you have to know the Proxy Address and Port numbers that your free browsing software uses. For example, the popular Your-freedom uses the Proxy Address is 127.0.0.1 and port 8080 by default.
Most of the time the proxy is the localhost - 127.0.0.1 so the most important thing is knowing the port number.

How to configure Mozilla Firefox

• Click on Tools on the Menu bar and go to Options
• Then Click the Advanced tab

• Next click Network tab under Advanced tab
• Next click settings under the connection tab

• You can now enter the desired settings

Some softwares can grant you access to all protocols(HTTP, SSL, FTP, etc) with a single port number but for some other softwares you might need to enter a different setting for each protocol.
Even if you do not know which port to enter for each protocol if you know the default address(HTTP) it might just work for the others so you should just enter it then tick "Use this proxy for all protocols"

If the config for SSL is different you should give it its own seperate port number but most of the time this is what works:
HTTP Proxy: 127.0.0.1 (or localhost) Port: 8080
Enable "Use this proxy for all protocols"

How to configure Opera
To configure Opera,

• Click Menu >> Settings >> Preferences

• On the preferences window, go to Advanced then Click Network

• Next, click the Proxy Servers button

Enter the desired proxy address details
You will see all the available protocols but note that Opera does not use the term SSL in its proxy server identification. Instead it uses HTTPS
You should now enter your provided SSL Address and Port number here if you need to

Configuring the whole system for Free Browsing
In order to do this click your network icon and then click Open Network and Sharing Center (Vista and & Users)



You might see several connection profiles if you connect using more than one device such as MTN 3G, GLO 3G, etc.
Determine the connection you are using and double click it to open its settings interface.
Next, tick "Use proxy server for this connection"
You can now enter your Proxy address (eg 127.0.0.1) and Port (eg 8080)


If you have a different port number for SSL/HTTPS you should click on the advanced button (this opens another window)
You can now enter a different port number for your HTTPS/SSL in the space labeled as Secure.

With this setting, you will be able to use Chrome, Safari and Internet Explorer, Maxthon, Yahoo Messanger, etc for your free browsing configurations as well as other internet enabled applications on your PC.

Note:
If you configure your Mozilla Firefox or Opera for free browsing, you need to tick/enable "No Proxy" if you are not doing free browsing or else you browser won't connect.
