how to improve PR? 18th December 2012 12:08 PM
Nice discussion is going on regarding improving PR:
Page rank shows the authority of page and each page has its own page rank and it depends on the popularity and authority of that page. From the point of view of SEO you just need to create back link form High PR domains and thus you can improve the page rank. One more thing is that back link should be relevant.

If you want to improve PR of your website then you need to get more quality back links. You should submit your website on high PR websites.

Backlinks should always be relevant, but beware if anchor texting keywords excessively. Seriously, this High PR link hunt is a bit much now though. If you only target high PR sites, Google's going to realize that you are up to something and then your site is toast. This we all know, but it seems to be the first thing mentioned when it comes to giving advice. Makes me think a little

The way I see things - Just my opinion, not attacking anyone's methods

Content - Needs to be high quality, not spun, or with bolding all over the place (especially around keywords), it not only makes people run from your site like a bat out of h***, it makes you, as a marketer and company owner look shady. No one does business with someone with a site that looks shady. make your content stand out and grab a visitors attention. Make a statement, and be prepared to back it up with carefully researched facts. Don't overload content with links either (refer to shady reference previously), its a real bummer to sit staring at what someone's written and its just one sentence of links after another. Its another sure fire way to kill a website.

Site design - I personally distrust squeeze pages. All the brightly colored buy now- this changed my life, add your email here and find out what the big secret is.... Dude, I'm 36 years old. I might be blessed with a hyperactive curiosity, but even that shows me that all you want is my email address so you can send me mail after mail that I will most likely waste time deleting. Make your site user friendly, easy to navigate and geared around your product and visitor. Show them what you're selling, don't force it on them. Using a lot of strategically placed photographs/images work like a charm. Like photos of people looking off to one direction - either your sales pitch, or a button of your choice. Using visual guides can be a great way to get your site visited regularly, and keeping visitors on your site. Videos are also another great tool, above and beyond social networking. I've seen sites listed on the fist page of Google, but its their facebook page. 'Tis powerful.

SEO: I've griped about this enough. Keep it simple and natural. Yes, you need links on high PR sites that are relevant to your site, but there are a few up and coming sites (like a few social networks I know of) that would benefit you more than spamming high PR site after High PR site, trying to get a link in edgewise. Link selling/buying can actually work for you if you follow Google's guidelines. There are so many other ways your site content alone can get a page ranked higher. Your text for instance. When your site is indexed, Google basically reads what your site is about (from the content as well as meta details), and then you could end up ranking for just about any word on your site. Depending on how many people search for those words in a month globally.

Learn about the Google updates, and how to steer clear of them when they are let loose. Keep your site and link building on the straight and narrow and focus on your clients and prospective clients. Works better than any netherworld SEO tactics I've heard about.

(as always, IMHO )

Quotes about Humour 17th December 2012 6:15 AM
“I love deadlines. I love the whooshing noise they make as they go by.”

Douglas Adams had a few really great quotes, above and beyond being the author of one of my all time favorite stories - The hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy.

Another one I use as a signature on another forum is : "Flying is learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss."
How to manage & motivate your employees! 17th December 2012 6:12 AM
Motivated staff is all what an institution to excel. It may cost the company a lot but there fruits to be reaped there after.

So, how would you motivate and manage employees?
I've searched online as well, and all I can find is a like box and the usual round of suspects. So I am also curious.

Facebook helps identify a cyber criminal 13th December 2012 9:32 AM
Facebook worked with the FBI to identify a UK person accused of being part of a global cyber-crime organisation, said the FBI in a statement.

The social networking site helped the law enforcement agency to locate 10 individuals around the world by "helping to identify the perpetrators." The UK individual (as yet unnamed) is accused of working as part of a cyber crime organisation, using a malware program called Yahos. After Facebook helped to identify the individual, the FBI worked with SOCA (the Serious Organised Crime Agency) in the UK to make the arrest.

Goes to show crime never pays. You can read the rest of the post here, also from macworld.
5200 GB of data - per person by 2020? 13th December 2012 9:23 AM
During the next eight years, the amount of digital data produced will exceed 40 zettabytes, which is the equivalent of 5,200 GB of data for every man, woman and child on Earth, according to an updated Digital Universe study released today.

To put it in perspective, 40 zettabytes is 40 trillion gigabytes -- estimated to be 57 times the amount of all the grains of sand on all the beaches on earth. To hit that figure, all data is expected to double every two years through 2020.
