123 Greetings
Advantages: free, user friendly, lots of cards to choose from
Disadvantages: some cards are a bit too mushy and cute

In the age of the internet, e-cards have quickly replaced the traditional paper greeting cards as the means of greeting others or simply telling them you care. There are numerous websites offering electronic greeting cards but I have to say that 123 Greetings (http://www.123greetings.com) is one of the best out there. For one thing, it is totally free! Many...
Addressing Emotions: Live Chat And Customers
When people buy things, the decision to actually purchase is a combination of logic and desire. That latter half of the buying process is clinched and what the web seems to lacking – some heart.

If you leave a visitor on his own to buy from your site, what would encourage him to make the actual purchase? How do you nudge the ones who have doubts?

Searches are not enough.

If there is someone to answer questions, rather than referring to a list of FAQs, a prospect is m...
Adsense That Works
People unconsciously ignore ads, not because they aren’t interested in the products or services that are being offered, but a natural instinct to focus on the material they’re reading and block out “distractions”. Remember: they’re on the web to look for information. That can be a particular song they want to download, an article on their favorite celebrity, or a chicken recipe they can cook for dinner. They’re concentrating on that issue, and their minds are quickly filterin...
An SEO Tip – Pay Attention To Your Imbedded Links!
Optimizing any web page involves both on-page and off-page optimization. Whereas on-page optimization emphasizes the use of carefully selected keywords to write a web page, off-page optimization is all about building links to the web page from other web pages as well as other websites. The leading search engines’ ranking algorithms have placed much importance on links that it is not possible to achieve a high-ranking based solely on competitive keywords.

Apple iPod Special U2 Edition
New iPod models have sprung up as quickly as mushrooms after the rain and each time they just seem to get better and better. I have to say though that this U2 special edition iPod just captured my heart the moment I saw it. Being very much a U2 fan, the fact that the back panel has the band members’ signatures engraved on it is enough reason in itself for it to be the best. The U2 iPod is easily recognizable from all the other models due to its style. While the others are usu...
Apple Tiger vs Windows Vista
Microsoft’s next-generation operating system is coming in early 2007, offering improvements that are both impressive and unprecedented in the Windows world. On Apple’s side of the world, Tiger, the 5th incarnation of Apple’s legendary OS X operating system is still up to challenge as to what Vista has to offer, even if it’s already two years old.

Although Vista and Tiger are almost playing in the same field in terms of features and technology, there’s a major difference in...
Avast Antivirus Home Edition
Prior to trying the Avast 4.6 Home Edition, I was very much a Norton user. I knew there were a lot of free antivirus software out there but I wanted to be on the safe side and use something tried and true. However, with the increase of spyware and virus attacks, my computer was not always spared and there were times I couldn’t figure out what was wrong with it. That’s when I thought that it was time to try something new – and free.

Installation is very easy. Just download ...

Bloggers’ Tips On Keeping Your Readers Happy

Bookworm
Bookworm is a very good alternative to some of the violent action games popular today. The goal is simple: spell words by linking letters found on the board. When you form a valid word, it will disappear and the letters above will go down. There are never empty spaces as new letters fill up the gaps on top of the board. The longer the word you form, the higher the score and the better off you will be. If all you can come up with are short words, then red tiles will appear. Th...
Citre Shine Shampoo And Conditioner
Why Citre Shine is not a very well-known brand, I do not know. What I know is that it is a very good line of hair care products.

My personal favorites are the (separate) Shampoo and Hair Conditioner. These two come in different variants for specific hair types and results. Since my hair is quite dry and wavy, I prefer to use the anti-frizz variant.

When you first use the shampoo, you will at once notice the clean smell. It is not too fruity and sweet and neither is it a...
Combining Subscribe Button With A Help Button
Most sites, especially blogs have feeds associated with them, but Internet users do not know what a feed is or how to use it. You’ve probably seen the little orange button with white writing (XML,RSS, Feeds, Syndicate This Site) on a web page or blog post. If you are a non-techie, you must have wondered what this little button is for. To ensure that Internet users know what a feed is, Dave Winer, RSS creator, advocates the use of one simple and universal button Subscribe, whi...
Commission Junction Affiliate Review
Company Overview:

Is the Internet a good venue for getting online leads and sales? Oftentimes, online merchants are disappointed or disheartened and end up reverting to traditional media for their advertising needs. Creating a website is not enough. Submitting the URL (with appropriate Meta tags and keywords to make the site searchable) is not enough. Having a merchant account on your site is not enough. The best way to get the most traffic to go to your site is through th...
Deep Inside Google Pagerank
PageRank is Google’s way of determining a website’s worth based on the number of incoming links it has. Essentially, Google counts the number of links pointing to the site and interprets it as confidence votes. Simply put, the more votes for a site, the worthier the site is in the eyes of Google.

Gmail
Advantages: huge storage capacity, very fast, in-mail chat, searchable
Disadvantages: none

When Gmail first came out, people were scrambling left and right to get invites to open their own accounts. The word was out – Google had come out with the best free web-based mail. There were all sorts of hype as to what Gmail had to offer. Very large storage space, filters, labels, searching, no need to delete old emails – all these and more. Now that Gmail has been around for som...
Google Sandbox - The Basics
Introduction

Google’s Sandbox Effect has been a matter of controversy since an article appeared on Search Engine Round Table about how new sites ranked low in Google as early as April 2004. This was before the term “sandbox” was even used to refer to the phenomenon. The term sandbox effect came into being when a guest writer on the Search Engine Round Table wrote an article entitled The Sandbox Effect. In the article, the sandbox effect meant that a new site can not get hi...
Google's Tag To Remove Content Spamming
Content spamming, in its simplest form, is the taking of content from other sites that rank well on the search engines, and then either using it as-it-is or using a utility software like Articlebot to scramble the content to the point that it can't be detected with plagiarism software. In either case, your good, search-engine-friendly content is stolen and used, often as part of a doorway page, to draw the attention of the search engines away from you.

Everyone has seen ex...

Google’s Query Refinements
Search engines aim to provide the most relevant results in response to queries but limitations can be seen on what is actually returned based on the queries used. Search queries can either be too specific or too general for search engines to recognize good results. Google has filed patent applications regarding alternative query terms or query refinements to offer a solution.

The Google Solution

Search queries that are not too effective in providing good results include...

Just How Important Is Navigation?
Importance of Navigation

According to an article written by Jacob Nielsen, typical user behavior shows that users almost always ignore navigation areas of a web page and look straight at the content.

Load Balancing And Yahoo!
A high-volume site like Yahoo! knows that the actual quality of service any web server provides to end users basically depends on network-transfer speed and server response time. Network-transfer speed refers to the Internet-link bandwidth while server-response time depends upon resources including fast CPU, lots of RAM and good I/O performance. Once these resources are exhausted and the web-server is encountering heavy traffic, a problem would surely arise.

My Crest Spinbrush
The Crest Spinbrush was my first electric toothbrush. It is not as advanced as other electric toothbrushes out there but it does the job. It has the most basic of features – no frills such as timers and blinking lights. It does not even have a rechargeable battery pack. Ask yourself though what do you really need from an electric toothbrush?

The Crest Spinbrush is a very practical, solid electric toothbrush. It is not too heavy and is comfortable in the hand. The power but...

Outsourcing Relationship
Outsourcing is the delegation of tasks or jobs from internal production to an external and separate business partner, very much like a subcontractor. By present standards and definition, it became the equivalent of elimination of local staff in favor of staff overseas to countries where salaries are considerably lower. Countries such as India, Bulgaria, Venezuela and Brazil, among others have become forerunners as outsourcing venues.

It was first seen in the data-processin...

Reasons Why Fresh Content Is Imperative To Successful SEO
Gone are the days when people memorized website URLs to get the information or service they want.

Because of this, search engine optimization has become an invaluable tool in website design for people and companies to be able to reach their target audie...
Search Engine Optimization And Web Design
In the early days of the world wide web, having a good web presence meant that you must have a good web site full of rich content, and a good internet address that goes with it. It’s a generally accepted practice to publicize your Internet address to the world – well, at least to as much of it that you could cover. You Internet address, technically referred to as the URL of your website, became your key in making your site successful. The more Internet users that know of your...

It may also refer to data clustering which is a technique used for data analysis by dividing a data set into subsets whose elements share common traits. Search result clustering aims to change the way people search online by organizing search result into folders...
SEO Directories – A Godsend?
Directories have been around for some time now, even longer than search engines have. Directories, like search engines, are used by people to search for websites containing the information they seek. However, the way they do the search and present their results are very different. Search engines use web crawlers to find and index websites on their own and will produce search results from the database of these indexed sites. Although there is an Add URL page in some search eng...
SEO Spam Companies – Worth Supporting?
SEO Spam is anything that constitutes unethical practice within search engine optimization. This includes the manipulation of spiders and redirection of users to inappropriate contents.

Sony PSP
The ultimate handheld multimedia machine is what I call Sony’s latest gaming console. It is the best thing Sony has ever come up with so far. You can do almost anything with it!

Officially marketed as a gaming console, there is much more to it than that. For one thing, you can download your favorite music files onto the memory stick and voila, you have a portable music player! It also makes use of a new storage device called the UMD. It looks like a CD but is much smaller....
St. Ives Apricot Facial Scrub
I discovered the St. Ives brand when a friend gave me some shampoo and conditioner. I really liked the products so when one day I saw that there was a sale on St. Ives Apricot Facial Scrub at the mall, I decided to try it out. Now, I am very picky when it comes to facial products as I already have problematic skin. After my first use, I was convinced that it really worked when it comes to cleaning the skin.

One whole day out in the city is enough to make your face feel rea...

The Advertisers' Bane: Click Fraud
With the geometric growth in the popularity of the Internet all over the world, commerce has taken a new form. Ads posted on websites have always been meant to generate income for the site owner – whether they are ads for their own products or ads by sponsors who pay for the ad space. When that did not seem to take off as expected, search engines had the brilliant idea of making ads relevant to those who use their sites.

That gave life to the phenomenon of the “pay-per-cli...
The Best Places To Put SEO-Friendly Links
There are four usual locations of links.

The Importance Of Backing Up Your Blog
Backups in every computing endeavor just make good sense. Without your good, reliable backups, you're likely to go through the hell of data loss and the frantic rush to recover everything at least once and probably more than that in your lifetime. Data loss can happen for many reasons: the degradation of a hard drive, an upgrade, a hostile hacker, even a catastrophic power surge. Whatever the reason, it happens even to the best systems.

The Problem Of Demoting Spam On The Internet: Yahoo!’s Trustrank Approach
TrustRank is an attempt to counter the web spamming activities that threatens to deceive search engines’ ranking algorithms. It propagates trust among web pages in the same manner that PageRank propagates authority. However, tests would show that the combination of trust and distrust values have greater ability to demote spam sites than with the use of trust values alone.

The Assumption

A link between two pages holds an implied conveyance of trust emanating from the sou...
The Wordpress Plugin Repository
WordPress is a great open-development community that encourages its users to innovate. But a few years ago, it started getting hard to keep up with those innovations. That's when the WordPress Plugin Repository was born (currently hosted at http://WP-plugins.org).

The repository is a place where all WordPress plugins are pulled together and shared with the community of users. But more than that, it's a place where developers can go to see what's already out there, what the...

Understanding Support Vector Machines (SVMs) Classifiers
The past couple of years witnessed the increased applications of statistical methods in different fields and for different purposes. These differences made the deficiencies of the existing methods apparent. However, it was not until the Internet became a hit in 1990 that the dissatisfaction with the then current statistical methods considerably grew since the methods are proving to be more and more disadvantageous. This eventually incited the diligent search for a more innova...
Victoria’s Secret Garden Silkening Body Lotions
The first ever Victoria’s Secret Garden scent I smelled was Endless Love. Since that first time, I have fallen in love with this line of body lotions. I have always had problems when it came to choosing a scent that would suit me and that would last for at least an hour. When I first tried Victoria’s Secret, I knew that I had found a keeper.

You can use the body lotion any time you wish but I think the most effective way is to use it right after you take a bath or a shower...
Website Design
As more and more businesses depend partially or fully on their online presence to sell their products and services, website design is gaining more and more importance. A business’ website serves as its display window and, like a good or bad display window, can automatically draw customers to take a closer look or turn them off with one glance. Maximizing your website to look great, be user friendly, efficient and have a speedy loading time is therefore of utter importance.

Where To Get Content For Your Blog
Blogs and websites that have rich content are always going to do better than those that don’t. I am sure you wondered where these blogs get their ideas, views and opinions. It is easy to write about something you are passionate about- but to do that most days of the week is extremely hard, since you would probably run out of things to talk about or you simply don’t have the time. So how do they do it? Where do they get their ideas? Do they get help from tools and other source...
Why Dated Content And Dead Links Will Punish Your Site
Along with the Internet boom came the massive proliferation of websites. Since many websites are made not just for private use but to make money as well, websites find themselves having to compete with other websites of the same category when it comes to reaching and keeping their target audience.

In order to reach their target audience websites find that they have to rely on search engines to list their site among the top results of ...
Why Search Engines Are Adverse To Identical Content
Reasons for Replicating Data

According to a study done by Krishna Bharat and Andrei Brodner there are several reasons why data are replicated or why mirror sites are created – Load Balancing, High Availability, Multi-lingual replication, Franchises or Local versions, Database Sharing, Virtual Hosting, and Maintaining Pseudo Identities.

Wordpress Version 2.0.3 Review
WordPress, the premier free open-source blogging utility, has gone through several upgrades in its life. Today it's one of the most popular blogging tools on the Internet; it's easy to use, powerful, and very versatile.

XML: A Solution To Online Ads
Throughout the history of advertising, it has always been the prerogative of the advertiser as to the form and features of their ads. The media, however, set limits as far as conventions are concerned.

Publications have to be confined within the dimensions of their pages – or the thickness of the folds for some enterprising ad artworks – and keep to the colors they can print in their presses. Sometimes, too, ads suffer the printing flaws of overbleeding, smudges and ink se...
Yahoo Search Marketing For Advertisers
For an advertiser, penetrating more media with their advertising message is the best way of disseminating that message to as many people as possible. Of course, the problem with traditional advertising media, like broadcast and print is that although you can identify the demographic that you want to target, you are still not so sure that it will be reaching that demographic at the right time.

This is where the advantage of Internet advertising comes in. Since surfing onlin...
Yahoo Search Marketing For Publishers
Marketing is a source for big income in the Internet. Because of the powers that advertising possesses especially with a highly directed method that the Internet can offer, there is a bigger possibility that Internet ads will meet more success. For example, a person who is looking for a new computer and sees an ad for an online store offering a sale on computers will most likely click on the ad. Very few ads in other media can seek to approximate this demand-specific distribu...
Yasmin Birth Control Pill
Yasmin is a low-dose birth control pill. It uses a combination of two hormones – progesterone and estrogen – to prevent pregnancy. Specifically, Yasmin uses Drospirenone (a form of progesterone) and ethinyl estradiol (a form of estrogen). Yasmin prevents pregnancy in two ways. First, when combined, the two hormones prevent the ovary from releasing an egg. Secondly, in the very unlikely event that you do ovulate, Yasmin has the effect of thickening the uterus lining. This less...
Zuma Deluxe
Zuma is one of those arcade games that starts off really easy and becomes more difficult with each level.
