When Non-Contextual Links Devalued We Need Quality Articles

Tuesday, January 31st, 2012

When it comes search engines, google is still the king, and they are doing everything they can to maintain their lead,   in the hope of furnishing it’s search users better results, according to their official blog, this change impacts 11.8% organic search results, in another word, google thinks about 12% of it’s search results are really bad and need to manipulated. Google started this change almost one year ago, and recently I see some of my ranks were lowered considerably, the good thing is that those keywords promoted by content rich links are not affected, a few of these keywords ranked better than ever, it’s safe to say that old way of link building is doomed.

What is old way of link building any way? a large percentage of SEO firms will do this,  they put your links on websites which only exist for holding links, the content on those sites will never be updated, and most of them are useless, we call these sites link spamming sites. New google algorithm most likely will punish these link spammers,  the links on those spamming sites won’t work anymore.  

Let’s check out a few examples. It was quite some time ago, I started promote the keyword, Sash Chains, it was old way of link building all the way, almost all the sites I got link from had too many links, worst yet, those sites had no content at all. I would give credit where credit is due, this linking strategy worked, eventually the keyword could be found on first page, the party was over when google updated it’s algorithm. Now let’s look at another keyword, chain puller , we put the link in relevant context, not too many plain links have been built, you can imagine how this keyword ranks. So contextual link wins this time, what about future? In fact the only thing matters here is content, when you create unique and quality content, your rank will improve over time, since search engines are another kind of readers. How do you do it? Writing articles and building blogs, for instance let’s examine this one, kaiya eve couture , I build it as a hobby and kept adding good or mediocre content, the result? I got nice ranking for a few realy nice keywords now. As we can see, blog marketing with great content is the way to go. If you can build a group of your own blogs, for instance Grade 70 Chains, then it will be easier to do article marketing.

At the end of day all you need to do is to create quality content, publish and share with people, and put your keywords in the context you’re good to go, this strategy will prevail in short or long term. Persistence and patience are the keys to success, you shouldn’t expect things to improve overnight, it doesn’t matter you’re doing SEO or advertising your business, keep doing what we have to do till the end of world. One of the best articles directories is EzineArticle, new article will be indexed within an hour if not minutes, of course your posts on some blogs will be indexed real fast as well, let look at some aticles or posts which are published and indexed, like this Sash Chain , good writing, interesting content, indexed and cached, all these points make it perfect for SEO.

We’re not finished yet, please remeber, we have hot social media now, no one can afford to not using them. For wordpress blogs, I recommend twitter tools, then go ahead register a new twitter account and app, link your blog to twitter, then make sure every new post will post a new tweet, it’s simple and elegant, it’s a big loss if you don’t use this tool.

Play GTA III with a PS3 Controller on an Android Phone or Tablet Demo/Instructions

Tuesday, January 31st, 2012

0 Play GTA III with a PS3 Controller on an Android Phone or Tablet Demo/InstructionsSince GTA III has finally arrived on our tablets and phones, I thought I’d make this video demo to show how you can use your PS3 controller to play the game!




INSTRUCTIONS AND LINKS


GTA III in Android Market 
‪https://market.android.com/details?id=com.rockstar.gta3‬



Sixaxis Controller App


https://market.android.com/details?id=com.dancingpixelstudios.sixaxiscontroller&hl=en

Instructions on how to start using the app (pairing your controller with your phone/tablet)
‪http://www.dancingpixelstudios.com/sixaxiscontroller/instructions.html

‬

Once you download the program for your PC/MAC/Linux System and have your controller paired, download this file onto your tablet/phone. 
‪

http://www.mediafire.com/?ko6ldnwd83v7cf2‬



EDIT: This mapping file shifted all of the buttons for some reason, so at first it will NOT work. In a few hours I’ll post a screenshot of how the buttons are laid out, so you will have to manually open the file and edit the button layout. More instructions below…

Move it to this destination (Using apps like “Files” or “File Manager)

/sdcard/data/com.dancingpixelstudios.sixaxiscontroller/Profiles/



Then boot up Sixaxis Controller and choose GTA 3 from the Touch Profiles drop down menu.



DO NOT exit the app just yet. Press the MENU softkey, and open PREFERENCES. Then open “Edit Touch Profiles”. You’ll come to a blank gray screen. Double tap the screen and a menu will appear with the option to “Load” a profile. Do that, and load the “GTA 3″ profile.

At that point you should see a bunch of the buttons shifted at the top of the screen. They can be re arranged by simply touching each button and dragging them to the correct destination. Here’s how it should look when finished…

http://imgur.com/aTeJi

Once it’s all set, be sure to “Save” the profile by double tapping the gray screen, and saving it.

Thanks to Xda Developer member isolated_epidemic for pointing me in the right direction of the touch profiles. The touch profile I downloaded from his post seemed off, maybe because it was a .zip file first, then switched back to a .map, I’m really not sure. Whatever the reason was, I changed it up to accommodate my touchpad to work, and hope it’ll work for you too!



EDIT: Lastly! Once you start GTA III, go to OPTIONS, then CONTROLS, and “Use Analog Steering” to ON.

CONTROLS:

WALKING
Cross (X) – Sprint
Circle – Punch/Throw/Shoot
Triangle – Get In/Out of Car
Square – Jump
R2/L2 – Cycle through Weapons
Start – Pause

DRIVING
Cross (X) – Accelerate
Circle – Handbrake
Triangle – Get In/Out of Car
Square – Brake
R1 – Shoot While Driving
Start – Pause

Linux Systems Capacity Planning: Beyond RRD and top

Friday, January 27th, 2012

0 Linux Systems Capacity Planning: Beyond RRD and topLinux Systems Capacity Planning: Beyond RRD and top”, by Rodrigo Campos

**Disclaimer: The views and opinions expressed in this video are those of the speaker(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the USENIX Association.**

As infrastructure costs rise, there’s an urgent need to squeeze more performance from the same hardware. After several years of measuring and managing the capacity of thousands of Linux servers, we have learned that most typical tools and metrics are not sufficient to predict performance bottlenecks, particularly during traffic spikes. By using queue theory formulas and instrumenting our applications we were able to find the limits of our systems, improve reliability, and maximize throughput and performance.
