How To Get Found in Real Time Searches

· 0 comments

Real Time Searches is getting more and more popular on the web. You surely do not get relevant result, but you get up to date and time result. People who look for current events prefer to make real time searches than to Google it. Users usually follow their own communities and make a real time searches for their current event information.

Here are few tips to get found in Real Time Searches:

1. Keyword must be in your Title:
If you are writing an article, and if you have a little idea about SEO, you must be knwoing that you should enter your main keyword at least 2 to 3 times in your content. However to get your article found in real time searches, you must enter it in your Article Title as well. This is because, users only digg or tweet(or any other social networking sites) the title of the article in their updates. So it is very important to put your keyword in the Title of the article.

2. Contents relavent to current events:
Most of the time people make real time searches for finding information on current events. Meaning events that happened a day or week or couple of months a go. Even the events happening couple of days ahead. So you should not write about the World War II and expect your article to appear in real time searches. Because no one is going to even search for your article topic. Also you should consider writing some interesting topic, and not just about anything happening around. Of course you do not wish to bore your visitors.

3. Include Digg, Retweet Buttons on articles:
This looks a very simple thing but it brings a lot of popularity magically. This is just another tempting method for your visitors to digg or retweet your articles again. This way your article gets even more popular. And the more diggs or retweets you get the better are the chances for your articles to appear for real time searches.

Just to remember this is just about getting your website or blog found in real time searches. For the long term results to appear in Google, you should follow organic SEO methods. As real time searches is not about relavence but about the visibility of your articles in real time.

Why You Should Place Popular Social Networking Site's Buttons on Your Blog

· 0 comments

More and more users are looking for live contents these days. They are making real time searches. Not to miss out an opportunity on this, even Google has started "Recent Results" in it's advanced search parameters. However as far as Google is concerned, no one has an accurate idea that when exactly it's updated.

So there are users, and the number of users is very high who use Twitter and Facebook's "Recently rolled it out". Although they cannot be a replacement of Google, they are useful for up-to-the-minute search results, i.e. Real Time Search. It has been noted that, the first thing these users do in the morning is not checking their emails, but going to Twitter or Facebook and check for the recent updates.

This is why it is necessary to place all popular social networking site's buttons below or above every posts of your blog. This way, your posts are just a single click away to be shared on most popular social networking sites.

I'd like to mention one obvious thing here, that the content you post on your blog must be revellent and sort of useful to all the users. Only then your posts are going to get more tweets, dugs etc. It is not about what is happening in real time, it is about what people are talking in real time. So you should post contents which users may wish to share with others.

How To Reduce "Temporary Internet Files" Folder's Space

· 0 comments

Temporary Internet Files clutter your hard drive with copies of each page visited. Files can build up over time and take up lot of disk space. Even more bothersome is that, IE (Internet Explorer) often takes a page out of the Temporary Internet Files, instead of getting new pages each time. This can be a problem if you are viewing a website that is updated all the time.

This can be good if you are on a slow connection such as a 56K or lower. But if you are on a fast broadband connection, then you can easily reduce the size of your Temporary Internet Files to just 1MB without affecting overall performance.

Here's how to reduce "Temporary Internet Files" folder's space:

  • Launch Internet Explorer
  • Select the Tools from the menu bar
  • Then select Internet Options (from the drop down menu)
  • Once the internet options has loaded click on the general tab
  • Under the temporary internet files section click the settings button
  • A settings window will load. Slide the slider all the way to the left so the size indicated in the text box on the right is 1
  • Click OK.

Run SkyPe from Your USB Flash Drive

· 0 comments

Skype provides a great interface to chat with friends (Voice chat & Video Chat), and make cheap phone calls as well. The application needs to be installed in your desktop computer or laptop. That means you can access Skype account only from your computer. But now, you can use it on the go or from wherever you are. You can actually make Skype portable by running it from your USB Flash Drive.

Mark from MakeUseOf, explains it with very simple instructions. Skype doesn't officially offer a portable version of their app, but by moving the application to your flash drive/thumb drive and creating a data folder for Skype on that drive with a few simple tweaks, Skype runs smoothly and in portable style.

How To Download Unlimited from Rapidshare Without Waiting

· 0 comments

This guide is only for free Rapidshare Account users. Do not go away even if you know how to generate Premium Rapidshare links. You might have limitations on generating rapidshare premium links per day. But here, you won't have limitations on generating premium links with the website I'm going to talk about.

Search RS is just another site which generates 'n' number of premium links for you per day. The only downside is, it stores your files only for 60 minutes. That means you have to download your premium links generated, within 60 mins. But you do not have to wait to generate a premium link and can download immediately. You can also use your download accelerator or download manager. Note that, it doesn't support "Resume" (Not Checked with Each Download Manager).

Just visit the website, enter you rapidshare link/links, enter captcha, and click download, you'll get premium link/links to download on your next screen. That's it.

Dual Boot Windows 7 with XP or Vista

· 0 comments

Have you ever used Dual Operating Systems on your computer? It simply means that there are two operating systems installed in your computer and you can choose any one of them to operate on at a time. People have used Windows XP and Windows ME, Windows Server 2000 and Windows 98 SE together. Many advanced programmers use Windows OS with Linux/Unix as well.

It gives a comfort on which level you wish to perform you task. If you have Windows 2000 with Win 98, and you only wish to get a print-out of one of your office documents, using Win-98 would be easy instead of loading heavy Windows 2000 Server.

Anyways, here is one more benefit of using Dual Operating Systems. Since Windows 7 is publicly released now, you can Dual Boot Windows 7 with XP/Vista in order to check it's features, it's comfort level as well as it's overall performance. So that anytime you require you can switch back to your primary Operating System.

I came across with a very good tutorial at TechSpot. Which shows you how to just do it in 3 easy steps. Click a link below to viiew step by step instructions.

Why GMail is Different Than Other eMail Services?

· 0 comments

Many people who use GMail find some of it's features different and unable to understand it. May be because they have old traditional eMail accessing habit. You don't find Folders (To Move an eMail from inbox to a specific folder) option, instead GMail uses Labels. GMail uses Archive to simply remove and not delete an eMail from Inbox. To make labelling automatic that sorts your incoming messages, you can use Filters in GMail. gravi_t, explains all the features in a great manner, that make Gmail different. gravi_t has written this knol here.

Labels Vs. Folders:

There are no folders in Gmail, there are labels instead. Labels are better than folders, because they save up space in your account. How? Lets say, you have one email that you want in 3 or 4 different folders. All other email services would make 3 to 4 different copies of the same email and save it in 3 to 4 different folders. But Gmail simply applies 3 to 4 Labels to the same email.

  • Each email is a piece of paper
  • Labels are post-it notes, sticky notes
  • There are default labels, like "Inbox", "Sent items", "Trash" ("Bin"), "Spam"
  • Yyou can also create labels (i.e. sticky notes)

This means that - unlike in other email services - you do not put the emails into folders. You actually attach labels to the emails.

To create labels:

  • Either open the "More options" drop-down list after you selected an email
  • Or go to Settings --> Labels, and type a name in the "Create a new label:" field.
  • You can see a list of all of your labels in the green labels box on the left.

Filters:

To make labelling automatic, you can set up filters to sort your incoming messages. Here is how to create filters:

  • Either click on the "Create filter" link at the top, to the right of the "Search the web" button
  • Or go to Settings --> Filters, and click on "Create a new filter" at the bottom

The headings on the left of your Gmail page (Inbox, Starred, Chats, Sent Mail, Drafts, All Mail, Spam and Bin) are also filters, preset by Gmail. When you click on them, Gmail gives you a filtered view of all your existing emails based on the name of the heading.

Archiving:

To "remove" an email from the Inbox:

If you want to remove a message from your inbox, DO NOT delete it! You can remove the "Inbox" label from an email - like you take a post-it note off a piece of paper. This is called archiving in Gmail. Select the email and click on "Archive". After this you can find it in All mail or under the label(s) you attached: just click on the name of the label in the green labels box on the left.

Just note that, you cannot remove the Sent mail label. This means that you cannot archive emails from Sent Mail.

Removing a Lable:

To "remove" an email from a label:

You actually remove a label from an email, and not an email from a label. Don't forget, labels are not folders. If you want to remove a label from an email, DO NOT delete the email!

  • Select the email
  • Use the "More actions" drop-down list to remove labels from emails

Deleting eMails:

ONLY emails in Trash and Spam are automatically deleted (after 30 days), all other emails will stay until you delete them (i.e. you put the Trash or Spam label on them). Note that you can also delete emails by accident with your filters, auto forwarding, POP settings or via an IMAP connection. And don't forget, you only have ONE actual copy of your email! If you delete it, it will be removed from all views (Inbox, labels, Sent Mail, All Mail).

You Can Download Your Twitter Archive

· 0 comments

Twitter has been around on internet since long now. With a database reaching back to December 2007, one may require to download full Twitter Archive. This is now possible through TweetScan. Most people reviewed Twitter search engine TweetScan irrelevant after competitor Summize was acquired by Twitter. But today Pete Cashmore from Mashable, discovered a little-known (but long-standing) feature of the service that' incredibly useful.

You can easily download your Twitter archive at a page called TweetScan Data. The benifits, according to TweetScan are listed below:
  • Archive past exchanges
  • Publish links and quotes
  • Follow up on past projects
  • Access offline
  • View and reconnect with contacts
The only downside: like most Twitter apps, you need to enter your Twitter username and password to access the service. We consider TweetScan to be reputable, but there’s growing doubt about whether this is really the best means of Twitter authentication. Source

Action speaks faster than Words. We all know that. Action is a very significant form of communication. And when it comes to communicate online through Blogs, Social Communities and Forums, Smileys and Emoticons are must and very helpful means of sharing your views. But how to insert them into your post?

Well, many addicted bloggers and regular communities or forum visitors must have found out how to do that, but believe me, it takes lot of your time to search for an appropriate smiley and than upload it on a free file hosting site and then, posting a link on your post. What if you just had your browser giving you all the list of smileys and you just click on it and you get the HTML Code to post in your forum.

Now you can do that if you are a Firefox user, using Smiley Xtra Add-On. No matter which platform you are using, whether it is Blogger blog or Wordpress blog, you can easily add emoticons to your blog posts using this Add-On. This Add-On will be very useful and more beneficial to the Blogger blog users since blogger users find very difficulty to add such emotions to their blog posts unlike Wordpress.

I strongly recommend you use version 4 of this Smiley Xtra, since version 5 contains more broken links.Clever
