Computer Tips - Quick Folder Options

  Quick Folder Options




We've talked about hidden files before, right? Browse to the Control Panel, click folder options, blah, blah, blah. Practically drilled into our head by this point eh? Well, let's put the Windows Vista Search Bar to work then, shall we?




If you're switching back and forth between showing hidden files and re-hiding them, then taking a step out of the process should be welcome. So, instead of slogging through menus to get to the Folder Options, why not just type in “folder” in the Search Bar?
The very top selection that pops up will be “Folder Options”.

Why go through the hassle when you can be there now?

Who Owns a Domain Name

Owning a domain name is similar to owning a house in real life – everything must be registered under your name, especially if you’re the one paying for it and maintaining it. Some people might think that any domain can be owned in just a snap of a finger....

Who Registered The Domain Name
The internet promises a lot of money-making opportunities. There are a lot of markets being created by the virtual community. As more and more websites are made, more and more people also become curious how to own or register a specific domain name. Th...

How Do I Purchase A Domain Name

So you have finally decided to land on the virtual community and have your own site – before thinking of a name and all the work needed in order to create a site, one thing you need to consider first is purchasing a domain name. But, how do you purchase...Well, the first thing you need to think of would be the name itself. How would you want your site to be named? Think of a name that will best suit the contents of your site and something that would be easy to recall. Example, if your line of business is about selling recycled papers, you may want to choose www.gorecycled.com. This would be easy to recall and easy to type as well.




Think of maybe ten domain names. Why ten? Because the next step you need to do is to try and search if there already is a site like that. Try googling the name you have in mind and see if it has a direct match over something else. If it does, then go to the next until you have all available options left.



After choosing the name, look for a merchant that sells domain names. A lot of them can be found online. Search for them using search engines and you would be presented with a lot of options. These entities are oftentimes called “registrars” as they verify if such a domain name already exists before they guarantee a sale for you.



Try to research for the name of the domain registrar you will be entering an agreement with. Research if there are feedbacks available for this registrar. See if the customer service, rates, products and other services will fit your needs best. Do not be in a rush to enter into an agreement as most of the domain name services actually last for months if not a year of contract. So if you do not want to be tied onto some entity you’re not really sure if would do a great business with, do not even try and risk it. Do your homework first before selecting the registrar of your choice.

Example of Domain Name


A domain name, to put it simple, is your address on the World Wide Web. This is where you put up your website and it is what internet users will type in their address bar in order to locate your site while online. Your domain name should be short, simple and describe what your site is about...



Internet Domain Name Confusion - A Simple Explanation

Nowadays, it is no surprise that you will find someone or something that has the same name. With so many people going online, our creativity is challenged when making a new idea out of nothing.

Blogging and Posting Schedule To Keep the Readers


     
Not all blogger stay in front of his/her computer for blogging and writing the article. I am one of them who not blogging every day. I write the article more than one in one time, but how to make my article showing or updating regularly for my readers.
In my previous post “……”, I have mentioned that to keep readers in your blog is writing the article regularly, once a day or twice a week, it’s depend to your time and effort. in this case, do you suppose to force yourself to be in front of your computer to blogging, did you make it? I said NO……

I have a trick to maintain the article to be showing at your desire time. FYI, I still do my day job and blogging in the night when I have a time. So, I write two until four article at a time. I write using Microsoft Word first, and then I copy paste to the blog software for posting when I have the internet connection active. But before I click the button “save” or “publish”, I arrange the “timestamp” of the articles one by one.
I arrange to show or post ( arrange timestamp ) five of my article once a day each. It’s mean that my blog will arrange that for 5 days ahead my blog will have a new posting every day. So, I have 5 days to do my other work while my readers have their news every day in 5 days. Its really make me little bit relax and use my time properly.

Crosslink is the link between your pages in your site. By linking your new post to the previous post will also useful to keep your old post visible to the search engine spider or bot. This method also will drive your visitor to your previous post or old post such as my previous post " Ideas to improve your Alexa ranking and boost your traffic" which impact the time of your visitor in your blog or site.
Link every your new post to the previous one to share the new post page rank for the previous one. For the example:
The newest post (A) just write or produce by you, and you put the link to your previous post (B) in the content;
Assuming that post B have link also inside its content to the post C;
Post C also have the link to the post D;
Assuming that post D is the oldest or first post in your site, what you need to do is to edit Post D. Insert link to your new post there.
This method will make all your post like a circulation or circle without brake. According to my understanding, it’will make all of your page’s PageRank will be the same even you only have one or five post/page which have high PageRank.... Be Sure to Leave Your Comments!

Ideas to Improve your Alexa ranking and boost your traffic

I believe that it is very important if you are looking to monetize your blog. It is not the only thing that advertisers look for but it is one of the biggest factors in determining the value for an ad or link on your blog.
The Alexa formula is based on the number of vistors that visit your site and the number of page views. Of course, only those with the Alexa toolbar count as votes. It is kind of like the Nielsen ratings are for television. Sounds pretty simple right, increase the number of visits and the number of pages they view and your Alexa ranking will increase, right? Yes, this is true but there are some other things you can do to boost your Alexa ranking. Here are some ideas.
Install the Alexa toolbar. If you have not yet installed the toolbar, do it now, it only takes a minute and every time you visit your site you will be helping your Alexa rank.
Encourage your blog readers to download the Alexa toolbar. Just like I did just now! The more regular readers that you have that have the toolbar installed the better your ratings.
Attract other webmasters to your blog. You should try to write blog posts about blogging and other topics that would be interesting to webmasters as these are the people that will be most likely to have the toolbar installed. Even if you have a mommy blog or personal blog, you can sprinkle in some blogging posts to get the tech savvy visitors to stop by.
Become active in webmaster forums. I am sure you notice a theme now, the more webmasters you get to your blog the better your Alexa ranking. Join forums like Digital Point and Bloggeries and be sure to include your blog link in your signature. These sites also allow you to add an rss feed to your profile that will display your latest feed.
Entrecard and Adgitize- These are two great ways to get get visits from people with the Alexa toolbar. I recommend that you advertise on Adgitize, and you can see the difference.

YouTube lifts music video block





The issue of copyright has dogged YouTube since its launch
YouTube has lifted a block on users viewing official music videos after the website reached an agreement with songwriters' group PRS for Music.
In March, the service blocked thousands of music videos to UK users after failing to reach agreement over fees.
YouTube, owned by Google, is paying an undisclosed lump sum to PRS, backdated until January and lasting until 2012.
Adam Shaw from PRS for Music told the BBC that he was pleased that an agreement had finally been reached.
"We have 60,000 song-writer and composer members and many of them don't earn very much money at all - 90% of them earn less than £5,000 a year," he said.
"The money we receive is really their living."
Sanctioned
YouTube's decision in March theoretically blocked all premium music video content - owned by record labels - in the UK.
However, many fan videos and official videos continued to be available on the site, including some sanctioned by the record labels themselves.

If content owners start to see the video site as just another useful platform rather than a threat, then everyone can start making money
Rory Cellan-Jones
BBC's technology correspondent
Read Rory's thoughts in full
For example, EMI-owned Parlophone recently became the site's most popular UK channel of the year, with 240 million hits, despite the ban.
However, YouTube said the "tens of thousands" of videos which had disappeared "will come back over the next few days".
"The music videos are an extremely popular part of YouTube and this deal doesn't only cover the music videos but also music included in TV programmes like the X Factor and also for the inclusion of music in user videos as well," YouTube's Patrick Walker told the BBC.
The deal will also mean that new material will appear on YouTube as the site signs partnerships with other record labels and guest editors introduce their favourite videos.
Pete Waterman says songwriters should get paid properly by YouTube
'Outraged'
In the UK, PRS for Music acts on behalf of member publishers as a collecting society for licensing fees relating to the use of music.
At the start of the row Mr Walker told the BBC that PRS was seeking a rise in fees "many, many factors" higher than the previous agreement.
He said the two were "so far apart" that YouTube had no choice but to remove content while negotiations continued.
HAVE YOUR SAY
If the public can access videos for free, and the artist still gets paid then it sounds like everyone's a winner
Richard Hill, Birmingham
Send us your comments
At the time, Steve Porter, head of PRS, said he was "outraged... shocked and disappointed" by the decision.
He said the move "punishes British consumers and the songwriters whose interests we protect and represent".
The Music Publishers Association (MPA) joined PRS in urging Google to rethink, while Lord Carter, who was the UK's minister for communications, technology and broadcasting, also waded into the debate.
Giving evidence before the Business Select Committee, the minister said he suspected a degree of "commercial posturing on the part of both parties" but said the row was indicative of a wider issue.
YouTube is the world's most popular online video site but has been under increased pressure to generate more revenue since its purchase by Google for $1.65bn (then £875m) in 2006.
Services such as Pandora.com, MySpace UK and Imeem have also had issues securing licensing deals in the UK in the past 12 months. Be Sure to Leave Your Comments!

Make money at home the easy way

I read this article on the net.daily news on the internet and I thought some of you might be interested in this. I have not tried it yet because I do not have a credit card and seems they do not take paypal. The article read like this: Are online jobs the next big thing? For Mary Steadman it sure is. Mary, a mother of 2, is thriving, in the middle of an economic recession working in the comfort of her own home.

From her website: "I get paid about $25 for every link I post on Google and I get paid every week... I make around $7200 a month right now"

Mary's story is a very familiar one in these tough times. She lost her job as an account rep for a manufacturing company and a few days later her husband also was laid off from his job as part of cutbacks due to the bad economy.

"We knew we had to do something, so we put our heads together and started trying online job opporuntities." Mary and her husband Kevin wound up getting caught up in a few quick rich business opportunities that were nothing more than pyramid schemes before finding something that really worked.

"I realized the best thing to do is instead of hoping that a company that you are looking at is going last, why not go with a big, reputable company. After looking at several different companies, I picked the safest bet... Google."

Online giant Google is a publicly traded company and is worth an estimated $100 Billion. The company has pioneered online search and has changed the way we use the internet.

In a matter of weeks Mary and Kevin had a steady stream of income coming in via checks that were delivered to their home. They happened upon a system called " Google Biz Kit" that taught them how to make money posting links online.



Google Biz Kit is a free course that can teach anyone, regardless of computer skill level to start making money online. It's available for free by clicking here.
Mary even shared with us a picture of the kind of checks she gets from Google each month:



For those of you that have seen the 'scammy' sites on the internet that promise you can make millions of dollars online Mary warns that this is not the promise being made here and that most of those sites are false representations of earnings you can make.

"We never tell anyone they'll make millions of dollars, in fact I think this is the ONLY online system that says you probably WON'T make millions, but you can generate a legitimate income from home like I do that replaced my full time job."Source: the internet... I do hope that if this is for real and you do try it out please be sure to let us know by leaaaving comments once you tried it and letting us know if it worked for you or if it did not work for you either way let us know!!!
