Today Im going to open my heart up to you all and hope you will have understanding and compassion.. I just read an article posted at 30something and searching. today.com the title was titled Disgusted and it was about this grandmothers 90th Birthday and she has a brother who has never bothered to send her a Birthday card. So of course the rest of her family were disgusted about it. So of course I left a comment and wished her a Happy Birthday even tho she does not know me I still wanted her to know that this stranger cares and does understand and that I hope she lives to see her next birthday. As for that person Im also disgusted with that lowlife . Gosh just a few minutes of time to send a card to show he cares is all it takes. I know it hurts her to be forgotten by him but she should not miss him with all the love that the rest of her family showers on her…. You all just continue to love her and show her you care and hopefully this will make up for her disappointment. One day tho he will come around but by then it will be to late and believe me he will never be able to forgive himself and he will realize the wonderful lady he missed sharing his time with. I know exactly how she feels for Im in the same situation with my daughter and it does hurt to be forgotten by your own flesh and blood . I try not to think about it but its always there in the back of my heart…No cards on my birthday, no calls, no nothing and I even still took it upon myself to write and ask her for help because I have a spine disease called scoliousous my spine is crooked and I walk sort of hunchback going like sideways and eventually I will no longer be able to use my legs so I told her about my poor health and how blogging makes me feel Im doing some good to help care and feed and shelter these stray dogs I take in my small shelter . I told her I blog for donations because I love animals and they cannot help themselves and they need me, but my computer is breaking down on me and I need to get another one prefer a laptop so I can lay down and prop up with pillows because it hurts my back when I sit blogging for a period of time. The pain is to much for me.,and propped up on pillows I can still do my blogging I told her it did not even have to be a new one for her to share her good fortune and send me money to get a laptop or just mail me one. What Happpen as always she ignored my letters. I was desperate and this is why I wrote to her because I thought after so many years when she ws already grown Id sent her money when she was in need so I thought being this was the first time I asked her for help to get a laptop computer to do what I enjoy she would help out. I was disappointed and cried my eyes out when she did not even bother to answer. But I shall NOT GIVE UP.. .   By Lilyruth                                                                                                                                                         Be Sure to Leave Your Comments!

People Continue To Object To Facebook Beacon Settlement, Despite Zuckerberg's Claims That They Don't Care About Privacy

                

In February of 2008 Facebook member Ginger McCall added Season 5 of the TV show "X-Files" to the roster of discs she wanted to rent from Blockbuster.



The Maryland resident knew of Facebook's Beacon program, which told Facebook members about their friends' activity at retail sites, but says she thought she had disabled the feature. Nonetheless, by the afternoon of Feb. 5, a friend had noted the activity on McCall's wall: "I see that you have added the X-Files, Season 5, to your Blockbuster queue," the friend wrote, according to new court papers.



Now McCall is objecting to the proposed settlement of a privacy lawsuit stemming from the Beacon program. McCall works as an attorney with the Electronic Privacy Information Center, which filed separate criticisms of the settlement, but she is opposing the deal as an individual consumer.



The proposed resolution calls on Facebook to permanently shut down Beacon and contribute $9.5 million to a settlement fund. Around two-thirds of that sum will be used to launch a new privacy foundation, while the remainder will go toward attorneys' fees.



McCall alleges that this deal falls short for several reasons, including that Facebook will have too much control over the foundation. "Under the proposed settlement, the only 'relief' for the class would be a privacy foundation established by Facebook -- an organization whose founder and CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, believes that people no longer care about personal privacy," she argues, referring to Zuckerberg's recent justification for new privacy settings that make a host of information available by default.



The new foundation's initial co-presidents will be Facebook's director of public policy Tim Sparapani and Berkeley Center for Law & Technology's Chris Jay Hoofnagle. Journalist and Internet safety advocate Larry Magid will serve as chief financial officer and secretary.



McCall argues that the foundation is unnecessary because other organizations already advocate for online privacy and because Facebook "retains unwarranted influence" over it.



A Facebook spokesperson said last week that the new foundation "will proactively improve the experience of all Internet users."



McCall also objects to the potential settlement because it does not provide monetary compensation for Facebook members other than the 19 named in the original complaint (who are slated to receive between $1,000 and $15,000 each). McCall says in her motion papers that the program shared information about her Blockbuster queue on at least two occasions. In addition to the February incident, Facebook in January of 2008 allegedly informed her friends that the movie "Untraceable" had been added to her queue.



A federal law, the Video Privacy Protection Act, prohibits companies from sharing information about movie rentals and provides for damages of $2,500 per violation.



"The absence of any monetary relief for class members is telling evidence that the settlement is unfair, unreasonable, and inadequate," she argues in papers filed on her behalf by Philip Friedman, the law firm Chavez & Gertler, and the Public Citizen Litigation Group. (Public Citizen is representing MediaPost in an unrelated matter.)



A separate group of Texas consumers said last year that they objected to the settlement and unsuccessfully moved to intervene in the lawsuit. Lawyers representing those consumers had independently sued Blockbuster for participating in the program.



Facebook launched the Beacon program in November of 2007 on an opt-out basis. Several weeks later, the company changed the program to opt-in and also introduced a feature to allow members to permanently turn Beacon off.



The attorneys who negotiated the potential settlement are expected to file papers defending it by the end of next week.   By Wendy Davis from: On line Media

How to Influence Visitors and Increase Conversion Rates

       
Why do people decide to make an online purchase? Why to they give up their email address for your newsletter? What makes them even trust the information you offer? There’s a science that explores the convergence of human motivation, decision making and the design of web sites, called called neuroscience. If you can learn to tap into how emotions affect online decision making and the unconscious reasons that drive people to buy you can significantly impact click-through and conversion rates.
Dosh Dosh recently did a great post on the subject with lots of important insights. You can tell by the number of comments how good the information was.
11 Ways to Influence People Online and Make Them Take Action
“The solution is to find and analyze general patterns of human behavior or thought. These patterns are indicators of how most people operate: by learning them you would have acquired the tools to exert influence over them. You don’t need to know everyone personally to understand what drives them and what they love or hate.           by Linda Buquet

How often should we clean our Registry

On the Internet, you will find several Web sites promoting the use of Registry programs. These Web sites make you aware of the importance of registry maintenance and how registry programs can simplify the process. However, there is very little information available on how often you need to scan the registry.

Quite often, we hear people asking you to clean up your registry on a daily basis. However, the truth is that there are no specific set norms that control how often you need to clean your Windows Vista registry.

In fact, the frequency of registry repair and clean up activity depends on several factors. For instance, if your computer is new and you do not make any major changes to it, you may not need to perform a registry scan for a long time.

Make Money online

  Before you begin making a website, you must first do some keyword research. I don’t care if it will take you 3 hours to do your keyword research because this is the key to make money online.




First, you need to go download a free SEO plug-in for Firefox browser. You can find it on Google by typing in “seo for firefox” and it should be the first site in the search by seobook.com. You will need it to instantly figure out the competition of a keyword that you want to rank high so you can save time. The plug-in is absolutely free so I suggest you get it NOW so you will understand this guide.
After you install the program, take a quick look at the guide. I believe it comes with video instructions. Once you have the plug-in to work, you can start to analyze your competition. For example, if you want to rank high in the search engine for “make money online” keyword, then type that into Google. You will see a blue toolbar under each link. The first one will say “PR ?”. Click the question mark to instantly figure out the pagerank of that site.
The first link is moneymakerinfo.blogspot.com with the title tag Make Money Online. The pagerank is 4, and the title is fully optimized 100% for the phrase Make Money Online. If you have a pagerank 4 site that is in the same niche, but your title is Make Money Online – Learn To Make Money Now, then moneymakerinfo.blogspot.com will most likely beat you because his title is 100% relevant to the exact keyword. I want you to read that again because that is VERY important!
The second link is entrepreneurs.about.com/od/homebasedbusiness/a/makemoneyonline.htm with a pagerank of 5. Why is moneymakerinfo.blogspot.com ranking #1 with pagerank of 4? If you remember what I said above, this second link’s title is not optimized for “make money online”. The title says Make Money Online (Without Spending A Dime).
The third link is 101waystomakemoney.com/ and the title is 101 Ways To Make Money
How To Make Money Online Fast & Easy. That title is nowhere near 100% relevant to Make Money Online, but it does have a pagerank of 4.
The fourth link is makemoneyforbeginners.blogspot.com/ and the blog owner calls himself Grizzly. He is very famous for dominating a niche. His current site has a PR 3, but his title is not fully optimized for “make money online”. His title is How To Make Money Online For Beginners. If only he would change the title to Make Money Online, he could easily get on #2 spot.
Besides keyword research, the second problem is building links. Typically, I see everyone in the MMO niche build anchor text links “Make Money Online”. Google knows that is not natural so even if you have million backlinks with that same anchor text link, you will not rank in the first page of Google.
What you need to do is use Google’s free keyword tool. You do not need to buy any keyword tools out there to do keyword research. People who recommend you keyword tools are usually trying to make a commission off you. The free keyword tool is here and I want you to go on it NOW:
adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal

Now that you are on that page, type in “make money online” in the box. After the results finish loading, the FIRST thing that you need to do is set the Match Type to “Exact” instead of “Broad”. The “Exact” gives you the right estimate for how many times people search for that EXACT phrase per month. “Broad” gives you a false reading because it also covers for “Make Money Online Free”, “Make Money Online For Beginners”, etc. so that is why the search volume is so much higher when you leave it on as “Broad”.

You need to sort the Global column from highest amount of search to the least. As of today, the global monthly search for Make Money Online is 246,000. The second one is How To Make Money Online with 49,500. The third one is Making Money Online, but you will skip this phrase for now because Make and Making are two different words. The fourth one is Ways To Make Money Online, and the fifth one is Make Money Online Free.
What you want to do is vary your anchor text links with those four that I listed above. That will look much more natural to Google, but the MAJORITY of your anchor text links will still be the first one.

If this is your first website, I STRONGLY recommend you stay away from this niche because it will take you more than 2 years to even get a chance to be on bottom of first page of Google for that phrase. Why? Because the #1 site has 100% relevant title with a pagerank 4, and all the other sites on first page are fairly strong. You want to build up small niche sites with medium volume of search and low competition like I do.

How to figure out small niche sites? You can easily brainstorm ideas when you get on Amazon or eBay. There are many products that are listed. You can also simply type out one word in the Google keyword tool, and many ideas will come up at the bottom. Your SEO for Firefox tool should show you the blue box to check the PR of each site.

Without looking further down to do more research, I know this one is an easy one. You will not get top spot in less than half a year, but maybe 9+ months. Nothing is really easy if you don’t put the work into it and have a bit of patience
Also, I didn’t go over the domain name with you. The keywords in domain carry weight, but it is only one of the factor to rank high. When you have the right title, the right keywords in domain, and the right anchor text links pointing to your site, you will rank high easily.

Google does not care if your site is a .net .org .info .whatever.
You do not NEED to know your niche to make money online or rank on first page of Google. There is plenty of free information on the internet for you to do your research. Get some information from ezinearticles.com, Wikipedia, etc. Simply paraphrase what others are saying in the same niche.
-You MUST do keyword research first! Don’t make a website, and then a year later figure out why you are not making money with the website.
-You must vary your anchor text links. Use the Google’s keyword tool to figure out variations of your main keyword.
-When searching for the keyword, always set the Match Type to “Exact”.
Many so-called “SEO” gurus will tell you the WRONG way to do your keyword research. They will tell you to go on Google search engine, and type in your keyword with quotes. That is absolutely wrong. That just shows you how many sites have the phrase “make money online” shown in the title, posts, domain, etc. There are phrases in quotes that come back with less than 20,000 search results. You might be thinking to yourself, “WOW, this must be extremely easy to rank!” You are wrong! If the first 20 sites are SEO masterminds who know how to do keyword research, link building, and know how to fully optimize their site, you will have a very tough competition.
Stop spending money on these bogus $100+ SEO guides. I am tired of people recommending SEO keyword tools when Google itself provides the best one out there for FREE. Most people recommend stuff to make commission. They tell you that it is a “MUST NEED” in order for you to make money. Everything that you need to dominate a niche is free.
The SEO for Firefox plug-in is free.

Google keyword tool is free.

Show Desktop in Windows 7

          
I've seen all sorts of little tips and tricks on how to get your show desktop icon back in Windows 7, but the truth is that most of them are too complicated to explain here.
And honestly, why do we need a show desktop icon proper when there's already one in the lower right-hand corner of your screen?
See it?

If you click it your desktop becomes visible; hold your mouse pointer over it and the open windows on your desktop will fade. It's just like the show desktop icon of the old days, only better!

Give it a try!

Black Friday Facts! Do you think you know what Black Friday is?

                        
Think you’re an expert on Black Friday? Here are some fun facts you probably didn’t know:
Many people mistakenly believe that the name Black Friday is derived from the fact that it’s the day when most stores’ revenues rise out of the red (net losses for the year) and into the black (net profits). The truth is that the name Black Friday probably comes from a tongue-in-cheek comparison to the chaos and confusion of Black Tuesday (the day the stock market crashed in 1929).

Black Friday is generally considered to be the busiest shopping day of the year, but this is not always the case. The last Saturday before Christmas is usually the busiest shopping day of the year, but Black Friday always ranks among the top five.

Exact figures are hard to determine, but most experts agree that over 150 million shoppers hit the stores on Black Friday weekend and they spend an average of over $300 each.

More and more people are choosing to avoid the lineups on Black Friday and to do their shopping on Cyber Monday, the unofficial start of the online Christmas shopping season. Other opportunities to avoid crack of dawn lineups and still snag a great deal include check out Walmart’s pre-Black Friday sales starting Saturday, November 7 2009. Each week six exclusive items from Blu-Ray Disc players to Xbox 360 consoles are offered at deep discounts in limited quantities.

Use Hash tags when you Tweet

 1. Use hash tags


Hash tags, keywords prefixed by “#”, beef up a tweet. They can emphasize a word, “classify” a tweet to a particular subject and make it easily searchable.
So:

“Meeting urgent hunger needs is a long term investment…in stability and world peace”

… might be nice, but better to beef it up:
“Meeting urgent hunger needs is a long term investment…in stability and world peace” #g8 #foodaid #hum

The hash tags in this example identified the tweet with the G8 meeting, with food aid and showed we were talking about a hum(anitarian) issue.

The popular hash tags in the non-profit world are

#humanitarian

#hum (as a short for the previous)

#nonprofit

#aid

#activism

#fundraising

#charity


There is no particular place to put hash tags, although most people put them at the end of their Tweet. Clever users integrate hash tags within their tweet to save space without taking away readability of a tweet:

Record level of #hunger and #poverty looms on #G8 agenda

Chitika Research- Update: Months late, Bing Users Still Ad-Crazy

    Chitika Research- Update:  Months late, Bing Users Still Ad-Crazy  

Research Home Archives Contact

Back in July, we looked at how often Bing users clicked on ads when compared to Google and Yahoo! users. Bing users showed a 50% higher ad click rate than Googlers, so at the time our preliminary conclusion was that Bing’s success was being driven in a big part by Microsoft’s huge, expensive advertising blitz.



Now that December is upon us, and Bing keeps showing its ability to push Google from a technology standpoint, we decided to revisit and see how the numbers were looking. As it turns out, Bing users are still clicking on ads at a prodigious rate – in fact, the CTR of users who come to the Chitika network via Bing is over 75% higher than those who come from Google.

Now, it must be mentioned that Bing is still a distant third place in terms of traffic sent – Google dominates with 84% of search traffic, followed by Yahoo! at 7.40%, and Bing holding at 5.75% (AOL and Ask both have just over 1% of search traffic coming into the Chitika network). However, all things being considered the same, driving one Bing user (or AOL or Ask user) to your site can be more valuable than driving one Google user.

The Raw Numbers:



Search Engine Ad Clicks Impressions Ad CTR % of Search CTR Vs. Google

AOL 42,597 1,706,858 2.50% 1.27% 253.56%

Ask 34,437 1,958,490 1.76% 1.45% 178.65%

Bing 134,536 7,741,724 1.74% 5.75% 176.57%

Google 1,115,452 113,332,938 0.98% 84.13% 100%

Yahoo! 136,506 9,972,035 1.37% 7.40% 139.08%



Numbers are based on a sample of traffic from the Chitika advertising network.

Its Sad and Disgusting to be forgotten

        Today Im going to open my heart up to you all and hope you will have understanding and compassion.. I just read an article posted at 30something and searching. today.com the title was titled Disgusted and it was about this grandmothers 90th Birthday and she has a brother who has never bothered to send her a Birthday card. So of course the rest of her family were disgusted about it. So of course I left a comment and wished her a Happy Birthday even tho she does not know me I still wanted her to know that this stranger cares and does understand and that I hope she lives to see her next birthday. As for that person Im also disgusted with that lowlife . Gosh just a few minutes of time to send a card to show he cares is all it takes. I know it hurts her to be forgotten by him but she should not miss him with all the love that the rest of her family showers on her.... You all just continue to love her and show her you care and hopefully this will make up for her disappointment. One day tho he will come around but by then it will be to late and believe me he will never be able to forgive himself and he will realize the wonderful lady he missed sharing his time with. I know exactly how she feels for Im in the same situation with my daughter and it does hurt to be forgotten by your own flesh and blood . I try not to think about it but its always there in the back of my heart...No cards on my birthday, no calls, no nothing and I even still took it upon myself to write and ask her for help because I have a spine disease called scoliousous my spine is crooked and I walk sort of hunchback going like sideways and eventually I will no longer be able to use my legs so I told her about my poor health and how blogging makes me feel Im doing some good to help care and feed and shelter these stray dogs I take in my small shelter . I told her I blog for donations because I love animals and they cannot help themselves and they need me, but my computer is breaking down on me and I need to get another one prefer a laptop so I can lay down and prop up with pillows because it hurts my back when I sit blogging for a period of time. The pain is to much for me.,and propped up on pillows I can still do my blogging I told her it did not even have to be a new one for her to share her good fortune and send me money to get a laptop or just mail me one. What Happpen as always she ignored my letters. I was desperate and this is why I wrote to her because I thought after so many years when she ws already grown Id sent her money when she was in need so I thought being this was the first time I asked her for help to get a laptop computer to do what I enjoy she would help out. I was disappointed and cried my eyes out when she did not even bother to answer. But I shall not give up I shall ask for donations on my blogs and explain to my readers and maybe some of them will go to http://dogcents.blogspot.com and donate what they can so I can get that laptop to continue to fight to save the dogs. If anyone of you readers care to help me out your help will be greatly appreciate and your kindness shall never be forgotten . Thank you Lilyruth.... @lilruth leave me a message here or contact me at my blogs. I have a blog here at http://dogcents.blogspot.com where you can Donate and I invite you all to visit.

Big News- Bing and Yahoo made a Deal

  After much talk and a fair deal of decision making, Steve Ballmer of Microsoft signed a deal with Yahoo’s Carol Bartz: A deal that will evolve Microsoft into the world’s 2nd largest search company and turn Yahoo into a media powered advertising broker. Yahoo is all set to hand over searching to Microsoft, who will in turn pay them a share of future revenue.

Here is the deal broken-down and analyzed by the key players:

Microsoft

What it obtains is far greater search market share in a single day than it could have hoped to gain from organic Bing growth irrespective of how much people may like it. The availability of Yahoo’s search technology to Microsoft will enable them to choose what it might want to make use of on Bing.

Microsoft was able to avoid having to make an upfront payment in order to take control of Yahoo search, as had been rumored for months and hinted at by Bartz herself: She claimed that “boatloads of money” would be required to lure Yahoo search away from the company.
However, the downside of this deal for Microsoft are that it may have to bare the loss of relationships with advertisers on search ads, although it preserves its display ad sales operation at least for the time being. Apart from this it seems that Microsoft has emerged from this deal rather clean.
What’s next? Intense competition with Google. This only means that the 2 superpowers have even more reason to detest each other
Yahoo
For an outsourced search engine, Yahoo is paying below market rate. It will receive 88 percent of future search revenue from Microsoft- A better ongoing deal than expected as per IDC. It also receives a guaranteed amount of search revenue for one and a half year and gets to market all the search ads on both Yahoo and Microsoft properties. Plus, it gets to save money- One of the main priorities for Bartz and new Yahoo CFO Tim Morse. The company estimated a $200 million saving in capital expenditures and see an overall benefit of $500 million in operating income
But what Yahoo loses is the ability to control its own fate when it comes to search which still is the most profitable division of online advertising by a large margin. Yahoo’s search revenue is now dependent on the performance of Bing for a decade which is considered an eternity in the Internet world! Moreover, 88 percent of something is not 100 percent of something.
What the future holds is probably another reorganization and a large number of departures as talented search engineers view their options among Microsoft, Google, Ask.com, and start-ups.

More attractive earning calls are expected where Bartz can pin point to the cost savings from the deal, and the formation of a long-term plan for the company that avoids dropping businesses.
Google
What Google gets is time. This deal is scheduled to take months, probably even years, to complete and it will be a complicated process of integration. It is highly likely that Google sales representatives called and reminded all of their major clients of the uncertainty that shadows this integration process and the fact that their ad money may be better invested with the more stable property. Google also gets to counter some of the antitrust scrutiny that has been sent its way by detecting and stating that a combined Yahoo-Microsoft search operation has a fair share of the market
On the other hand, it forfeits the ability to play Yahoo and Microsoft search off each other. The fractured competition meant it would have been much more difficult for either company to create noteworthy inroads against Google individually. It also transforms Microsoft into a credible technology threat with Microsoft’s right to select the best of Yahoo’s search technology developments and blend them with Bing, which is pretty well-receive
What’s to come: For now at least, business looks to carry on as usual. Google never intended to cede its search lead prior to the declaration of this deal, and there is certainly more pressure to keep up to that promise now, over the following several years. It’s not something that was not expected in broad View.
Consumers
The only benefit receivable to consumers is ‘Powered by Bing’ search results on Yahoo pages. To be precise, consolidation is viewed as a negative for consumers, as it limits one’s choice
At this point, with multiple details left to be hammered out, the consumer impact of this deal is certainly not obvious. Many would like to argue that if Yahoo was not really committed to search, consumers would view better search results with time on Yahoo pages that are powered by Bing. To add to this, indirect benefits to consumers are part of the package of having advertisers that are not chained to a single search engine. But this is more about setting Yahoo free to concentrate attention on its other businesses and providing Microsoft with more market share in order to force Google into playing cautious on search, which could reduce some of the pressure Google is piling on Microsoft with projects like Google Apps, Android, etc
The impact of these decisions will take a considerable period of time to come down to the level of the consumer with the assumption that the government embraces the deal.
Advertiser
Assuming ad spending becomes a trend again taking into consideration the current economic conditions, advertisers will get a credible 2nd option for their ad spending. A renewed pitch on the benefits of Internet display advertising is also in store for them. This probably still does not revolve on Madison Avenue but may one day begin to make sense for the Internet advertiser.
The negative points of the deal from the advertisers perspective are that there are high chances that the relationships between advertisers and the 2 companies will become highly complicated over the next few months as those who used to work with certain representatives transfer their business to new ones. Although, these issues are not of prime importance, they can be frustrating.


In the future however, if the ad market ever returns, there will be a renewed competition in search advertising for keywords, placement, and reach. Source: Tech Frog and Tech News.....

What is Bing? Using Bing Search Engine

        One of the most important tools for blogger is search engine. It is really very important for each of blogger. There are so many efforts that Bloggers do to get into first page in Search Engine Result Page (SERP) for targeted keywords. And luckily, this most important thing could be optimized by free. Right now, the biggest search engine in internet world is still Google, then followed by Bing (Microsoft) search engine in second place, and in third place is Yahoo search engine. Blogger usually only use these three search engine for their blog traffic source.
My assumption above may be wrong but that is what I do for my blog regarding to search engine at least. Of course I already use these entire three search engine as tolls for this Online Knowledge blog but I will only share what I do in Bing (Microsoft) search engine in this article. There are three things that I already do in Bing (Microsoft) search engine for this blog, which are:


Submit Blog URL into Bing
It is first step that I do for faster blog indexing in Bing (Microsoft) search engine. I go to Bing site submit page and submit my blog URL in submit form. It is more likely to introduce this Blog with Bing (Microsoft) search engine, so Bing (Microsoft) search engine can include this blog in index list. It is really easy. I only need to fill my URL blog and then click “Submit URL” button.

What is Captcha and Do you want to Use it?

         A few years back, most bloggers have to deal with unwanted spam comments, especially if they had not enabled comments moderation. Because of such widespread spam comments, most bloggers enabled captcha (word verification) for comments in which case commentators would first have to complete the word like the one you see in the screen shot below:

If you allow comments for your posts and moderate your comments, I would highly recommend you do not enable captcha (word verification) for the following reasons:

Ever since all blogging platforms including Blogger add the "nofollow" attribute to hyperlinks in comments, the incentive for spammers to post spam comments have been greatly reduced and I have found that spam comments have reduced to almost zero

Having to complete word verification is a great inconvenience, especially for the visually impaired who have to click on the universal handicap icon in order for the alphabets in the captcha to be read out in audio form.

In my opinion, captcha is a torture. Why subject your readers to torture when the original reasons for enabling captcha, spam comments, is no longer a problem.
