X Change my windows 8 start menu

June 21, 2015 by admin 1 Comment

Like to stay abreast with new technology updates & windows , but don’t like the windows 8 start menu. You are not alone, windows 8 was a good update,modernised an all – but millions of people have shown their displeasure in how the start menu was totally obliterated and not user friendly with the windows 8 release.

They are two solutions for this, either wait for windows 10 to release ( which should not be too far away) and hope they make some good changes to this or then force your windows 8 to go back to the much friendly Windows 7 start menu.

I have windows 8 on my laptop and the nutty metro start menu started to drive me crazy, enough for me to look for a solution to make life easier. Here are the two solutions that will get you faster to where you want, when you start up a windows 8 laptop.

Luckily there re programs out there that can easily make your windows 8 start menu just like windows7 and also allow you to switch back and forth between them both, if you want to change your mind.

Below i will give you a paid product (stardock) short review that does this and also a FREE version called (classic shell) that does a good job with changing the start menu.

Classic shell ( free version) – So what does classic shell do

[from thier website]

Classic Shell™ is free software that improves your productivity, enhances the usability of Windows and empowers you to use the computer the way you like it ( Like windows 7 start menu).

Start8 By Stardock (paid software $4.99)

This software is good, in that it does allow you to either go straight to the windows desktop,avoiding the windows 8 start screen. It also allows you to access the windows 8 start screen from the windows 7 style start menu you customised or created.

I use another software by star dock called fences , which i truly recommend and has been of great use to me until today in organising my windows 7 desktop icons and shortcuts ( you can check it out in their website). However this windows 8 start menu software also has many good features

Adds a Windows 7-styled Start menu with Windows 8 enhancements
Boot directly to the Windows 8 desktop (no more searching for your desktop)

Start Menu 8 is specially designed for Windows 8/8.1, as a freeware that can restore (simulate) the classic start menu of earlier version of Windows. It can be set to boot from startup, in order to skip the system default Metro start screen, thereby directly start into the traditional Windows desktop which is familiar for us.

There is the basic version that costs $4.99 and the Deluxe version that includes many other software enhancements and features for a windows desktop that is $9.99 with a recurring monthly fee. Get details and download here

Making money with PPC Advertising and Blogging

June 14, 2015 by admin 2 Comments

Every day thousands of make money on-line affiliates or website owners ask the same question –

“Why I cant sell anything online?

Do you know why most people fail ?

It is the topic/niche .

Almost every beginner starts in network marketing/make money online niche and to cut long story short this niche is overcrowded. Not many know of pay per click (PPC) adverting. To give you stats here, less than 1% of them are interested in how to make money from home.

What Are Bing Ads?

Bing Ads is the advertising platform you use to show ads on the Bing and Yahoo search engines – also referred to as Yahoo Bing Network. You also have the ability for your ads to show on their syndicated partners such as Facebook, Amazon, Monster, WebMD, CNBC, and Viacom. They are the direct competitor to Google adwords and PPC. Bing ads is normally cheaper to run than google as they are rated No#2 search engine and get cheaper clicks for advertising

PPC GAME WITH CLICKBANK

You can make money with your website and clickbank by using the relevant search terms in your ppc campaigns and advertisements. Here is how-

Go find buying keywords using the Google keyword tool.

Type in keywords like where to buy {item}, where to purchase {item}, buying {item} (get creative) and take the results and research them again until you find more buying keywords that you didn’t find before.

If you do this multiple times you will find a lot of purchase keywords that people are entering in google to find a specific item.

They might not get a lot of traffic but typically people who type in these keywords into the search engines have their wallet in hand. Use these buying terms in your PPC ADS, I did this for a acai berry product and had some good success.

Hot targeted Marketing with PPC & CLICKBANK

If you are spending money on PPC, use every bit of it (dont waste it).You should be pushing these people(traffic) to an opt-in page for an email list. That way you can significantly increase the chances of converting them later on through your email campaigns /Newsletters and this will reduce some of your expenses.

Free resources are great like SEO organic traffic . However Using PPC even for at least for a short period of time, you can find out the best converting keywords. Then you can take those keywords, build optimized pages, and promote them via SEO to get high search engine rankings and make money. This way you can make money both with SEO organic traffic and paid traffic at the same time.

How do you make money with PPC such as Bing OR Google Adwords?

Bing advertises your webpage and every time someone clicks it you must pay Google. You pay anywhere from 0.2 cents to 0.30 or even more for a click on your ad. People who are interested in your ad will only click, so it is targeted traffic.Conversion depends on how good your ad and content on that page is. You will need to do the maths to get good returns and profit from PPC, but you can just get lucky if the niche is not too competitive

Promoting Affiliate Products (pay per click internet marketing method :-

If you want to promote an affiliate product and expect higher level of purchase, you can choose a particular item from sites like Commission Junction or ClickBank. Try to select a high selling item from the site’s list. After this you can create a pay per click ad for the affiliate product which will send traffic to the site. This can be an excellent step to get as much traffic for their product.

Sometimes PPC seems to work much better with physical items than digital downloads. If you manage to get regular sales with PPC and make a profit then its gold, as you will have a regular income on auto pilot. You can always refine your PPC strategy to get more out of it and increase your income, by learning more on how to improve your PPC skills.

How server technology is becoming agile with co-location

June 5, 2015 by admin Leave a Comment

Colocation is the hot new thing in the IT crowd and for small businesses – but what exactly is it? To explain things in a way that is going to be easy to understand for you, colocation is a process that effectively works to give you the ability to own your own hardware and servers, but to locate them in another company’s data centre. What this means is that instead of keeping all of the systems and equipment in house, and paying to maintain them and keep them powered and up and running – even in the event of a power outage or a storm (the consequences of not doing so can be disastrous!) you pay someone else to do it for you.

Colocation is a new innovation driven by the fact that there are many new startups and businesses around who simply do not have the facilities to store something like servers within their own office. These companies want the freedom to have their own servers but don’t want to maintain them, and thus, colocation was the best option.

This practice gives you the freedom to upgrade the hardware as and when you need to, and it also proves to be a far cheaper option as a business owner. Now that we’ve outlined some of the basics of colocation, we can have a look at some of the pros of colocation for a business.

You own the server and the machinery. That means that if you suddenly decide that a machine is too slow for your needs, or that it doesn’t have the memory that your business required to run successfully, then you can simply upgrade it without having to ask anyone else about it. Another benefit to this is that you own the server software that comes with your machinery. You do not have to sit around waiting for a provider to make some upgrades if things are slow or too behind the times. You can just do it yourself. The same things goes if you decide that you want to use ASP or ColdFusion, you can just buy the software and then go and install it all.

Another bonus to using server colocation is that if you move offices for example, you can leave the server that you have in the borrowed rack up and running for the entire time. If you host your own domain, you’re going to find that you have to pay for two lines for a period of time in order to move domains over to a new location or to deal with the possible outages while the servers take time to move over to the new location.

Using colocation means that there is additional security being provided for your machines, and your server is going to be stored and maintained in a secure and well-maintained environment. After all, the company who is going to be storing your servers are also going to be storing their own servers there, so it makes sense that they would take care of things really well. You will also find that many colocation servers are going to offer a service whereby they take care of and manage your server – for an additional cost on top of your service agreement. If you don’t have an IT department this is going to be a very useful service for you.

Hopefully this article has gone some way towards explaining what colocation is, with a quick look at some of the advantages of using it for your business as well. Only time will tell how effective this practice is going to be in the future – but suffice to say, it’s working well so far.

And then there was The google sandbox .. lo and behold

May 17, 2015 by admin Leave a Comment

What is the Google sandbox

You just launched a new website with a new domain and its links are still not showing up in Google search engine. You probably are experiencing the Google sandbox. Here are some of the symptoms of Google sandbox

I just bough domain and no backlinks are showing for website

I just made a new website and no links are showing

My new website is not ranking on Google

Google Sandbox 2.0 a.k.a. “Google Waiting Period”

When a brand new site on a brand new domain is launched, it gets put into what SEO professionals have dubbed the Google Sandbox. The Google Sandbox effect is theory that exists among webmasters on the Internet that web pages on new domain names rank poorly in the SERP (search engine result page) even though they have a high page rank. The sandbox will be on new domain names for a period from 3-8 months. The months in sandbox is just speculation and could be anywhere from 3 months to 6 months from reports by seo researchers.

The Google Sandbox is for new domains, not new sites

Check out Google’s Matt Cutts discussing the relevance of domain age.

In that video Cutts said:

“The difference between a domain that’s six months old vs one year old is really not that big at all. As long as you’ve been around for at least a couple of months, you should be able make sure that you can show up in search results.”

Matt Cutts said, there is some difference between a domain that’s six months old and one that’s 12 months old, but the difference at that point is incredibly small. The important thing is to wait out those first few month.

How to rank, even in the Google Sandbox

You can still rank your website even is Google is punishing your new site by placing it in the Sandbox. You can absolutely build a brand new site on a brand new domain and still rank well in Google — but you’ll have to likely target keywords for which there is relatively low competition.

2^nd method

Get a existing domain that has already had a website for some time, but make sure its relevant o your niche not penalised or has a spam link profile. You can quickly do this by a quick check in google search engine like this , search for Site:http://www.thedomain.com where the domain is the site which you are checking, it will show up all the backlinks for that website.

Or you can also check it here https://moz.com/researchtools/ose/

Acquire links from authoritative sites.

Plan ahead– contrary to the general practice of launching a site when it is absolutely complete, launch a couple of pages, when you have them. This will start the clock and time will be running parallel to your site development efforts.

Try to gain some social shares to validate the links that your site has recently got.

Google is still indexing your site, even while you’re in the Google Sandbox. You’re still a part of their index. In addition to the number and quality of links pointing to your website, the age of those links is also important in determining your site’s TrustRank. On the day a link to your website is published, Google awards your site only a portion of the total TrustRank that link possesses

Why your website or blog might not be ranking

If you were ranking well and suddenly vanished from the rankings, that usually indicates either: you had low quality backlinks and those backlinks have been removed from the link index (and indeed open site explorer shows zero quality backlinks for your site); that your site has duplicate content, spun content, shallow content, or too many ads and has run afoul of Panda, or is suffering a manual penalty.

To conclude its best to build authority links and links in a natural manner over a period of time. If your blog backlink profile is a gradual steady rise as most authorative blogs would be, with a mix of social shares etc . then it should slowly rise out of the sandbox and climbing the slippery mountain called google search engine

What Type of Web Hosting Service Suits your Business?

May 6, 2015 by admin 1 Comment

Web hosting is a service that every business, regardless of size or market demand needs to address, however, a company’s individual need may vary greatly in the services they require to accommodate their online needs. When deciding how to deal with your business’s web hosting needs it is important to know the basic varieties, including shared hosting, VPS, hosted services and self hosted, as well as the differences between them.

Web Hosting

The first step in finding a company’s web hosting demands is to fully understand web hosting, and the services it can provide. A website host is a server or computer that constantly remains online, making a website accessible via the internet. When visitors access the site they are actually downloading files from the computer in which they are stored.

In reality, any computer can be used to host a website, but professional services use computers specifically configured for power, using large amounts of memory and hard disks to efficiently deliver data and website content to potentially thousands of users at the same time. Any business with a website will require web hosting, and the larger the brand, and the more active the website, the more powerful the service will need to be.

Self Hosted

The self hosted approach is probably best suited to smaller businesses running very basic sites, as it consists of hosting the website independently off of a home or office internet connection. Hosting your own website has a few advantages, including freedom to do as you please with the website.

In addition to this it can be quite powerful, depending on how many computing resources you have to commit to it. Self hosting is not without it’s drawbacks, and these should be considered. Disadvantages of a self hosted site include the amount of technical knowledge necessary to execute it, and speeds can be greatly lacking due to poor upload speeds, as well self hosting may violate your ISP’s terms of agreement and all traffic you host will be reflected on your bandwidth usage.

Shared Hosting

Shared hosting is when your site is powered by one server, acting a host to thousands of other websites as well. Shared hosting is a budget friendly alternative, so it is great for small or new businesses, offering an all in one package, with domain name and hosting, bringing your brand to the internet.Major advantages of shared hosting include the cost effectiveness of the service, the ability to provide a custom domain, and an easy to use interface for blogging and forums – all requiring minimal technical knowledge.

Disadvantages are the incredibly slow speeds, and the fact that it has only basic capabilities due to the limitations of a shared server.

VPS and Dedicated Servers

These are the most ideal type of website hosting servers because they provide each client their own individual server space. VPS, or virtual private server, is a virtual machine, compared to a dedicated server that is similar in nature but is a physical system dedicated to hosting the site.

The major benefits of going with this type of hosting is that it offers essentially unlimited domain hosting and offers incomparable loading speeds, often 5 times faster than other approaches. As with anything, there are drawbacks to this particular service, and they include the associated costs as this is the priciest alternative, as well as the amount of knowledge required. These techniques are excellent for popular and intricate websites that see a lot of traffic and have a lot of content.

Hosted Services

Hosted services is the simplest form of web hosting, and involves creating a smaller, or subsite with a larger site. These websites are often committed to one purpose, like blogging, and many are free to use. Advantages of using hosted services include the simplicity and ease of getting started, as well as good speeds because you are dealing with a specialised company.

The biggest disadvantages to this technique include the lack over control over a technicality, and a lack of support for things like plugins. Also the portability is an issue, as you are part of a bigger site, and if your popularity rises it is difficult to witch hosts without losing fans and followers.

Whichever type of hosting solution you choose, ensure you go for one that is able to grow with your business.
