Webmaster Sense - Google, SEO & Technology

I just came back from the Western Union office near my house and couldn’t resist telling all you guys about how sweet it is! I mean no more waiting for checks to arrive or cashing problems etc. Straight cash in your hand and ready to be spent lol!

But sadly its only available for 7 countries which include:

• Argentina
• Chile
• China (Mainland)
• Colombia
• Malaysia
• Pakistan
• Peru
• Philippines
• Romania

I hope they provide everyone with this service soon….keep your fingers crossed!

I am a regular member of Digitalpoint Forums and its really a nice place and members over there are very cool. Although I have noticed a massive banning of members on the forum.

A sticky thread explains that this has been done to enforce the rules strictly since about every post was breaking some rules.

I think this kind of step is not necessary as many people rely on DP as their daily bread. I mean we are human beings and mistakes can be made but still….. a regularity of such a fierce step might be dangerous to DP’s future.

Well don’t consider me an iWebTool hater. I mainly dislike the pagerank prediction tool. Other tools from them are pretty nice. Consider the multirank checker. It always gives me correct results and comes handy in the time of need

You can put upto 10 domains and its pretty fast considered to some other ones I had been using…

The question goes out to only Google Publishers. Personally I stopped clicking on Google Ads a long time ago. This excludes sponsored links on Google search engine results.

I’m thinking of changing my bad habit…..more info on that could be dangerous

I have been using the iWebTool PageRank prediction tool since I ever knew about PageRanks but recently the tool is going seriously crazy. Before the last PageRank update, it predicted a PageRank of 2 for 3 of my domains and after the update, one got PR4 and the other two got PR5.

There was a time I could seriously trust the iWebTool PageRank Prediction Tool but not now. Maybe they’re updating the tool but still I’m ain’t happy.

Personally I know that pagerank prediction isn’t very logical too because only Google knows about the importance of the links you make. Usually, PR Prediction tools only calculate your pagerank on the basis of your amount of backlinks.

Thus from now on, I hope to never use that tool or any other ones. Leave it too Google to do the job for you instead…

What Type of Link?

The main factor about a link depends upon what type of link it is. We know that there are three types of links: Free, Reciprocal and Paid. We have heard Matt Cutt Say that search engines like Google are counting paid links as spamming and all of that is going against the site. I would recommend only getting free links and if manageable you can get reciprocal links too. Although, some seo experts can get paid links cleverly.

The Quality of the Site:

Another very factor point about getting “The Perfect Link” is the quality of that website. Try getting the link on high PR pages.

Content of the Website:

Note that search engines will count negatively if you’re site is linked on websites with no content or poor quality content.

Relevancy:

Relevancy counts a lot. You should not get a link on an irrelevant page. For Example your online gaming websites’ link should not be found on a carpenter’s website

The Quantity of Outbound Links:

A good link should only appear on a page which has a few outbound links. Otherwise, that too will be counted negatively.

The Anchor Text:

Every SEO Expert knows the importance of anchor text. Though, commonly you don’t get to choose the anchor text of a link. But, when you do get to choose the anchor text, try to keep it short i.e. of maximum ten words which briefly describe your website.

The Placement of the Link:

The placement of the link matters a lot. Your link should not be scattered on the page. Many Seo experts I met said that the best place for a link would be the main body.

Conclusion:

In Conclusion, I would like to say that if someone gets about 5 links by following the above factors, then his 5 links would be better than 50 irrelevant links.

New pictures of Nokia 5800 Tube have leaked out again. Personally i like the new look and the new direction Nokia is taking. Although it isn’t as pretty as the iPhone but thats where the market is. Most of the phones getting announced by other manufacturers these days are just make overs of the previous ones. Anyway getting back to Nokia 5800 Tube, it definitely seems that an official announcement of 5800 Tube is getting closer because the phone has been XpressMusic branded now.

Nokia 5800 Leaked Live Photo

According to leaked information, Nokia 5800 XpressMusic has a 3.2-inch 16M touchscreen TFT display with 640×360 pixels resolution. These specs are still pretty sweet. I might get this as a back phone if it really does go officia.

The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic will also have 140 MB of built-in memory and a microSD card slot (up to 8GB supported).

Not bad, not bad at all. Although a little more work on the look should have confirmed a hit phone.
