The Tulip Mania and Online Businesses

Posted by Faye on November 15, 2011 under Information

I had the opportunity to be enlightened on the concept on the Tulip Mania, or tulipomania. This phenomenon happened in the late 1636 until mid 1637. The contract price for tulip bulbs skyrocketed in a very short amount of time, and then suddenly collapsed. In February 1637, the tulip mania was at its peak and the price for one bulb was more than 10 times the income of a skilled craftsman in a year. This is what experts call the speculative bubble, or economic bubble, where there is a huge difference between asset prices and the intrinsic value of products. However, in a few days time, the price dropped drastically and continued to decline.

Such a phenomenon had happened in the last several years. Networking businesses/scams like the Pyramid, had boomed and spread like wildfire. Thousands of people were left bankrupt due to high profit expectations which eventually went downhill in a matter of days. These financial failures would have been avoided had the concept of e-commerce surpassed the popularity of financial networking earlier on. One thought that comes to mind is the popularity of social networking sites that caused a huge influx of clientele for the said social networks. Other online businesses started to bloom as online interactivity reached an all-time high. Although these online business opportunities did not spring overnight, I have a feeling they are here to stay. They have low maintenance cost, virtually no overhead, and availability for 24/7 monitoring. For some businesses like the Australian Business Directory, administrators can monitor their business from anywhere around the world. And partnership can be had with literally hundreds of thousands of other online businesses. Such is the beauty of having your business plug in to the internet.

Getting Your Life Back

The IT Corporate Industry has been very good to a lot of people, myself included. Working as a Web Developer for several years will give one a vast knowledge in technology and applications that he may never get elsewhere. However, all good things must come to and end. Or at least change into something better.

Living the life of a freelancer is like a breath of fresh air after the long hours of hunching behind an office chair, typing away source code to create cool, awesome websites for prominent clients. As a freelancer, the luxury of working anytime of the day – anywhere – is in the palm of your hands. One glitch to this though, is the prospect of not having the right tools to get started. Good thing there are tons of websites that offer tools and built-in applications to jump start your new career. They also offer sample platforms and formats to follow. Most of these sites also feature tutorials on how to use tools like Flash, HTML5, Webmaster Tools, Link Extractors and the like. You can also get domain names easily from Web Hosting sites that offer a wide range of features to keep you on track.

With great opportunities to earn in my own time, freelancing is a career choice everyone should consider. It has been fun sharing with you what has been putting the big grin on my face, but I’ve got to get back to the real business – paddling my surfboard to get to that 10 foot swell coming my way.

Using Asterisk PBX for Web Conferencing

For instance, in case of most of the organizations, sometimes half of the team of a company would be based somewhere in the US, and half in some other part of the world.

How restructuring could save your site

Posted by Faye on September 29, 2010 under Computers And Technology, General, Information, Internet And Businesses Online

A lot of websites fail to use their structure effectively for SEO. It’s just not one of the issues that tends to dominate. Site owners are so focused on the many other factors of SEO that they overlook one of their site’s major assets. This is a shame, because a bad site structure can put your entire search engine optimization plan in peril.

The restructuring of your site’s architecture is possibly the thing that will cause the most disturbance to your site, and it requires a lot of work. This is a reason many companies shy away from it. Site restructuring, however, is a basic search engine optimization technique.

A search engine optimization company will look at your site’s architecture if you pursue a site-wide optimization plan, and you can discuss this with us at www.seoconsult.co.uk. The reason behind this restructuring is usually because sites are created without link power in mind. Site restructuring for SEO involves creating logical paths through the site, which is of benefit to both site users and search engine spiders. It also involves the analysis of existing ranking power of certain pages and the strategic use of their ranking to support other pages.

It’s easier to understand the effects of bad site structure if some examples are reviewed.

Example 1: Misdirection and broad keyword use

Imagine that you are one of the millions of online retail sites around the net. You want to make sure that your customers can always find the page they want, so you provide links to everything from everywhere. In a basic example, your site might have a cuddly toys main page, and 50 cuddly toys product pages, all with roughly the same amount of content promoting your cuddly toys range. Each of these pages connects to the others with an equal number of links.

Because you want your site to rank for cuddly toys as a keyword, you might stick with cuddly toys as your keyword for all of these pages. As a result, the search engines aren’t being given any direction as to which page is the most important. Given a level playing field, the search engines are as apt to pick one of the cuddly toys product pages as they are to pick your main category page.

Example 2: Specific keyword use, link misdirection

Even if you do distinguish between the keywords for those pages, for example using ‘cuddly toys’ as your main category page keyword and then using ‘cuddly lion toy’, ‘cuddly elephant toy’ and so on for each of the product pages, the search engines are going to have a hard time figuring out which page is the important one. The keywords are similar enough that other factors are going to come into play. If the links don’t direct support to a main page, the search engines are still likely to choose one of your product pages.

Site structure is something you should consider carefully during your initial optimisation. Talk to your consultant about this issue.

Trojans in your Apps

Posted by editor on March 10, 2010 under Information


Web applications are supposed to make our internet life better but it seems that even this has been attacked by malignant cyberattackers. They have begun including Trojans in applications and widget sin social networking sites like Face and MySpace. According to researchers at Finjan, cyberattackers are now going to these social networking sites such to get more victims.

“Attacks will become more sophisticated by combining several services in order to heighten infection ratios and decrease the detection rate, while providing more robust and scalable attack frameworks,” Yuval Ben-Itzhak, chief technology officer, Finjan, said in a news release. “The focus will be on trojan technology as it enables maximum flexibility in terms of command and control. This adds another potentially malicious element to the ‘legitimate’ web traffic that needs to be examined by security solutions.”

In short, before installing the app or widget that your friend sent you, confirm if it came from them. If it didn’t, kindly delete it immediately. If it did come from them, research on the app or widget from previous users.

Geode – Google and Mozilla Banding Together

Posted by Faye on May 22, 2009 under General, Google, Information, News & Updates
