Green Web Hosting Materialization

Posted: 16 Dec 2009 11:10 AM PST

Webmasters are unable to attain their niche market without the help of web hosting services and related hardware available in most data centers. In reducing data center emissions, most hosting companies decided to go green.

Green web hosting was in short supply few years back. Lately this kind of hosting has emerged into the public eye. There are several companies which began to be 100 percent green and others eventually converted. Even other well known providers switched to a greater eco-friendly alternative.

Several of these companies began reprocessing waste paper and used bio-fuel for heat up procedures. This directed data centers to used alternative resources like geothermal energy, wind and solar. Read more web hosting reviews regarding this particular service.

Place in The Hearts Search Engine

Posted: 15 Dec 2009 01:58 AM PST

After a few weeks of getting the legal from the google blog tutorial is finally back to a place in the hearts of the largest Search Engine today. A few weeks later on give this blog Pagerank N / A, and because it can not be sure I mentioned.

But I can only analyze the causes of the loss of a little PR from this blog, namely the lack of fresh articles that should be routine in the content on our blogs to manage. Since google is now more selective in choosing which blogs will be presented on page 10 of the keywords in the input by the user.

So the lessons I can take from this event are:

1. When we used to get an article in a way try to copy paste the rewrite up to 50% different from the original before the published again.
2. Try to find that a quality backlink pointing to your blog / web. Can in a way that is 2 way exchange links with other blogs, or with a direction that is leaving comments on Dofollow blog or website.
3. Update articles regularly at least once a week.
4. If all these things at work in your blog will be guaranteed in Engine loved by the search.

Maybe it is a short tips I can give this time, may be useful for you all. Regard

Google Sandbox FAQ

Posted: 10 Dec 2009 01:39 AM PST

Hello bloggers mania, ever heard of google dance or the more popular again with the term google sandbox :) exile sandbox for your blog or site by site through the google rules have been imposed by them.

To slightly increase our knowledge about om google sand box please read an article that I found the blog but I forgot its web address.

Say you create a site to sell to buy a house. Everything about the site that provides on all housing related needs. But his love your site name www.rumahsakit.com example. Although the domain keyword such that you still want to compete with the keyword "Offers to buy a house". But the hope in mind after you get your wish to be NO 1 SERP with keyword "Offers to buy a house" getting ready for the catch by google sandbox ;)

So What can I do to avoid the sandbox?

It's really not possible. I really do not lie to you, you will not be ranked in the first few pages to "buy a house Sell" until you do your time with other kids in the sandbox. And this will only end after google your issue.

To avoid the sandbox you can target keywords that are non-competitive. By doing this you can jump in the ranks very quickly but the possibility is the lack of visitors who visit your website because of the low keyword search.

If already in the sandbox what do I do?
Try try to create articles and backlinks from you to you.

How long will I be in the sandbox?
Usually you will be in the sandbox for about 9 months. But this depends on how competitive your keywords. The more competitive the longer you wait.

How do I know if I'm in the sandbox ?
Do a search by way of site: http://namadomain.com is the best way to find out. But if you've tried before and have some of your page in the search results and now no longer means you've been in the sandbox.

But someone said that if I build links slowly get myself out of the sandbox?
Maybe you've heard this way, but I'm still not too trusting with the theory, which certainly use your web keywords with little competition in the search.

Previously, I want to explain, all the above is based on experience alone, and probably everyone's experience varies so if you do not agree with my opinion on what's up your opinion.

How to Encrypt a Folder or File in Windows 7

Posted: 10 Feb 2013 10:18 PM PST

The standard file system used on Windows is NTFS. It allows you to use permissions to manage access control restrictions for data. For example, you can configure NTFS permissions to allow only particular users to access confidential documents. However, if there are users who have the necessary credentials to make permission amendments, they could simply alter those permission settings and gain access to the data.

Encrypting File System (EFS) provides an extra security layer in addition to authentication and NTFS access control permissions. EFS encrypts data through the use of an encryption key, ensuring that it can only be decrypted by a user who has access to the required encryption key.

What that means is: you need the password to access the file.

How to use EFS

Right click the folder of file you want to encrypt and select Properties from the drop down list.

EFS-encrypt-Report-2012

The relevant folder/file properties dialog box opens. Click the Advanced button.

EFS-Report-2012-properties

In the Advanced Attributes dialog box, tick the option Encrypt contents to secure data and click OK. 

EFS-Advanced-Attributes-Encrypt-contents

You are returned to the Properties dialog box. Click OK to continue. The Confirm Attributes Changes dialog box requests whether you want the encryption to apply to this folder only or apply to this folder, subfolders and files. Select your preferred option and click OK.

EFS-encrypt-confirm-attribute-changes

The encrypted folder will now appear Green (as shown below).

EFS-encrypt-Report-2012-green

Note:

Before you encrypt anything, best to follow this Microsoft guide to backup your encryption certificate. Otherwise, in the event that your Windows installation becomes corrupted you may be unable to access these files. If you’re in Sydney, I can help you out with data recovery.

If you want to decrypt a file or folder, perform similar steps as above except untick the option Encrypt contents to secure data in the Advanced Attributes dialog box.

Acer cashback offer is really not worth it

Posted: 05 Feb 2013 03:43 PM PST

About 6 years ago, I took advantage of a laptop cashback offer.

After about 1 month, I got a cheque in the mail, and I was happy camper.

About 3 months ago, I had the need to make use of an Acer cashback offer for a laptop.

I assumed that it would be a similar process… but no, it was worse.

Obviously, the 3 month delay is the first problem… Particularly when these offers seem to have restrictions like “offer must be completed by “this” date, and offer must be complete “X” days after purchase…

Then, instead of getting a cheque, I get an EFTPOS card

So, looking at the info I was sent, I can see further restrictions:

  • Card is valid for 12 months from the activation date
  • Card cannot be used at ATMs to withdraw cash (presumably, I can buy something from a supermarket and get cash-out… but I’m not sure
  • Card cannot be topped-up, or merged with another card

So now I’m looking at finding a way to spend all the money on the card, and not leave a few dollars.

I can try the cashout option (but it might not work)

Or the only other alternative is to buy over $49 at the supermarket (The card value is $49), and pay the first $49 from the card, and the remainder in cash.

And the sad thing is this: Acer do not operate the cashback system themselves… the use GiftCardPlanet… who charge Acer: $5.95 postage, $4.95 production fee per card, and a 2% credit card surcharge on the value of the card…

That could mean that my $49 gift card actually costs Acer $60.88

So, let me get this straight: Rather than hire a real person to administer the cashback program, an use cheques, such that a $49 might end up costing acer, say, $55 per $49 cashback, they choose to spend over $60 per $49 cashback offer.. with the extra money going to a “card” company, rather than put that extra money into the “my” pocket. And then make it more difficult for me to actually get the full cashback.

I must say: I really cant be bothered with all this crap… From now on, when I see a cashback offer, I’ll look for the actual cost, and compare actual costs, and just pretend the cashback offer doesn’t exist.
