What is in reality SEO ( Search Engine Optimization ) ?

Published by nimsrules under Techno Savy Edit This

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is often considered the more technical part of Web marketing. This is true because SEO does help in the promotion of sites and at the same time it requires some technical knowledge – at least familiarity with basic HTML. SEO is sometimes also called SEO copyrighting because most of the techniques that are used to promote sites in search engines deal with text. Generally, SEO can be defined as the activity of optimizing Web pages or whole sites in order to make them more search engine-friendly, thus getting higher positions in search results.

One of the basic truths in SEO is that even if you do all the things that are necessary to do, this does not automatically guarantee you top ratings but if you neglect basic rules, this certainly will not go unnoticed. Also, if you set realistic goals – i.e to get into the top 30 results in Google for a particular keyword, rather than be the number one for 10 keywords in 5 search engines, you will feel happier and more satisfied with your results.

Although SEO helps to increase the traffic to one’s site, SEO is not advertising. Of course, you can be included in paid search results for given keywords but basically the idea behind the SEO techniques is to get top placement because your site is relevant to a particular search term, not because you pay.

SEO can be a 30-minute job or a permanent activity. Sometimes it is enough to do some generic SEO in order to get high in search engines – for instance, if you are a leader for rare keywords, then you do not have a lot to do in order to get decent placement. But in most cases, if you really want to be at the top, you need to pay special attention to SEO and devote significant amounts of time and effort to it. Even if you plan to do some basic SEO, it is essential that you understand how search engines work and which items are most important in SEO.

How Search Engines Work

The first basic truth you need to learn about SEO is that search engines are not humans. While this might be obvious for everybody, the differences between how humans and search engines view web pages aren’t. Unlike humans, search engines are text-driven. Although technology advances rapidly, search engines are far from intelligent creatures that can feel the beauty of a cool design or enjoy the sounds and movement in movies. Instead, search engines crawl the Web, looking at particular site items (mainly text) to get an idea what a site is about. This brief explanation is not the most precise because as we will see next, search engines perform several activities in order to deliver search results – crawling, indexing, processing, calculating relevancy, and retrieving.

First, search engines crawl the Web to see what is there. This task is performed by e piece of software, called a crawler or a spider (or Googlebot, as is the case with Google). Spiders follow links from one page to another and index everything they find on their way. Having in mind the number of pages on the Web (over 20 billion), it is impossible for a spider to visit a site daily just to see if a new page has appeared or if an existing page has been modified. Sometimes crawlers will not visit your site for a month or two, so during this time your SEO efforts will not be rewarded. But there is nothing you can do about it, so just keep quiet.

Dell Adamo : World’s slimmest laptop

Published by nimsrules under Techno Savy Edit This

After the Dell XPS 730 H2C , a recent launch from Dell fulfilling dreams of high end gamers , the esteemed company stes a new milestone by popping out the much awaited and anticipated the Dell Adamo , the slimmest and thinnest laptop known to mankind. I mean oh come on how can they put such a large pile of features in a thin metal piece like this one ?

Did you look at it ? It really seemed to me as if this is some kind of spoof or something like that but when I came to know about its reality I was spellbounded. Adamo in Latin means ‘ to fall in love’ and I bet my property to you that you are certainly to fall in love with this sexy gorgeous beauty. Adamo will serve as a flagship in a line of products created to transform the familiar personal computing space with a combination of new design, aesthetics, personalization, and latest technologies.

Let me cut a long story short and focus on its boasted features. Here we go :

- The body is made up of sturdy aluminium with a shiny finish and a well to work with back lit keyboard.

- Wi-Fi , Bluetooth 2.1 and Integrated mobile motherboard.

- A lo………………ng battery life upto 5 hours , you read it right FIVE hours. Phew , m sweating.

- 2 USB ports, 1 USB/eSATA combo port, Display Port, and RJ-45 port.

- Genuine Windows Vista Home Edition , 64 bit.

- A very high defition glass display.

- Come with a hefty price tage of $1,999 ( approximately 1,02,000) . Yes this is not an advantage rather but GOOD THINGS ALWAYS COME WITH A HIGH PRICE. Tongue out

You can have an external storage upto 500GB and a Blue-Ray disc Drive as well as an 8GB USB drive. As far as I think it is a lappy providing value for money and VAIO , HP are gonna go Helter-Skelter after this launch. I hope the customers are happy after the purchase. At least good than the new SONY Vaio Pocket PC.
