Content is king and Google want that you put the king on top of your website and drag the ads beneath. Right, Google has announced that it will penalize sites with pages that are loaded heavy with ads and mainly above the fold. The main reason for this algorithm update is mainly based on user experience while browsing such sites which have heavy ads above the fold and they find it difficult to see the actual content.

Now the main question is how can you decide how much ads are sufficient? Google won’t tell you that but you can use Google Browser Size Tool to understand how much content can be visible at first glance.

This update is really opposite to what we have seen in the Google Adsense heatmap overview. But if you really care about your visitors then certainly this is the best move from Google.

How To Fix Your Google Adsense Ads

If you previously placed two or more ad units above the fold then you should move them below the content and make sure that content should be visible in first glance. In other terms the ratio of your ads should be low in relation with the content. Now that you have made the necessary changes don’t expect the results immediately as Google will re-crawl your website to access the changes.

Its all about content and now those days are gone when webmasters simply filled their websites with ads. So it’s a suggestion that make necessary changes as soon as possible before this penalty can hit you.

If you have a blog or a website you always want some images or photos to make your website more appealing in eyes of your visitors and keeping your visitors attention intact while they browse your blog or website. But it is very important to know that obtaining and using images on your website or blog isn’t that easy because maximum of images are copyrighted. So it’s very important to understand that what you can and cannot do.

Using Images found on Flickr

Here I will try to explain how you can use Flickr images on your own website or blog. Flickr is a great resource for finding different images and photos that you can use freely on your website. But you have to understand that many images on Flickr come with certain restrictions.

How You Can Use Flickr Images

Using images from Flickr on your website or blog is not a very difficult task but before using them you should check out the license type for a particular image which you will be using on your website.

Flickr images comes under two main licenses:

• Copyrighted

• Creative Common License

Copyrighted License

If you find a “C” symbol with a circle around it, then the image is copyrighted and you cannot use it. This particular information is normally located underneath the “License” in the sidebar. If you really like an image which you found that you want to use and is copyrighted, you can directly contact the photographer using Flickr mail.

Creative Commons License

A creative commons license provides us a way where we can use other’s people stuff on our website but with some rules in place. On Flickr, the images have different forms of licenses that have different rules for how you can use them.
 

The Attribution License allows you to copy, distribute, tweak, remix and publish even commercially as long as you give credit to it.

There are over 25 million images which come under this license so you have a good choice to search within this particular license if you want some images for your blog or website.

In order to use images for this particular license you have to put a link back to the original web page on Flickr where the images come from.
 

The Attribution-NoDervs License is more or less same as the last one, except that you cannot alter, change or tweak the original image i.e. you don’t have permission to change or modify the image according to your needs and when you publish the image on your blog or website it should be in its original form.

Images under this license can be used commercially and you must give the credit to the original creator by putting a link back on your blog or website.
 

As the name suggest Attribution-Noncommercial License you can use the images and even remix, tweak, modify but only for non-commercial purposes. If you are making money from your website you cannot use this license and you should opt for a commercial license.
 

The Attribution-Noncommercial-NoDerivs is most restrictive license i.e. it allows you to use the images on your blog or website provided images are in their original form and you should use them only for non commercial purpose.

In short you cannot tweak, modify or mix images and along with that you cannot use them commercially.

The Attribution-ShareAlike License let’s you to remix, tweak and modify even for commercial purposes but after you create those new images, they will be under the same license and someone else can freely use your images provided they use it in the same way as you did.

In short every new image must have the similar license as the original one.

The Attribution-Noncommercial-ShareAlike is same as above, except you cannot use the images commercially.

Hope you understood the concept of using images from Flickr. Flickr is a great resource for obtaining images for your blog or website provided you carefully read the license before using any image.

Online web directories are the best medium to generate backlinks for your website and it’s quite an easy task to execute. There are thousands of free online directories available but you have to be very careful when submitting your website to these directories. Always pick up the directory which holds some authority or have a decent page rank. A mass submission is not recommended as many webmasters thinks that merely submitting websites into directories will automatically boost their website’s ranking.

Planning Your Directory Submission

Before submitting to online directories or search engines prepare your submission material carefully. Prepare your content in a good and logical manner in a separate text file. Each directory has their own submission guidelines so prepare your content accordingly. Be sure to spell check all your content which you will submit. A typical directory has the following fields which need to be filled in order to complete the submission process.

• Page Title

• Description

• Keywords

• URL

• Category and Subcategory

• Contact Information

Page title is one of the most important element so be very sure to choose the most relevant title. Don’t put several keyphrases in your title instead restrict to only one most important keyphrase for which you want your website to rank. You have to prepare different page titles for individual pages of your website.

Description should be of the right length for each directories and it is a good idea to write description of different length because different directories allow different description sizes. Always use keywords in your description and make sure your description flows naturally.

Keywords should be relevant for the individual page submission and use only four to five keywords. Pick up the best combination of keywords which are relevant to the page content.

For each submission you have to provide different URL.

Choose your category which is relevant to your website because if you submit your website in different category the editor of directory might disapprove your submission.

It generally takes a longer time to be indexed in a directory because most of the directories are reviewed manually before adding it to database. So be sure to add only relevant information about your website and it is only the editors who decide if your page have a worth before they include it.

Always make a habit of making a database of your directory submission in excel so that you can know where you have submitted your directories. Be very sure to verify your directory submission by going through your email where you have received a verification link because most of the directories send a verification link in your email.

Best Tool For Filling Directory Submission

I have personally used Roboform tool which is the best form filling tool available. You can set your title, description, keywords, email and other information by making an identity. You can make different identities for different urls. It will save a lot of time as you don’t have to enter your information in each directory manually. Roboform will create a toolbar on your browser and you can set your identities right on this toolbar.

RAM or Random Access Memory is responsible for how fast your computer system can perform when you are running applications on your system at any one time. When you install more software or applications on your computer system, your system begins to slowdown. Therefore you can install more RAM in your computer system to increase its performance.

Installing RAM is quite an easy task but you have to know certain things so that you can install your RAM in a right way. The main problem is to know which type of memory your computer system uses. You can use one of the best software to know which type of memory your system uses and the software is CPUID.

CPUID will gather all information about your system like type of CPU, memory type and your mainboard. Download CPU id for windows

After being certain you have the right RAM, you are now ready to install the RAM in your computer system. Following are a step by step Procedures to install RAM in your desktop based computer system.

• Make sure you have turnoff your system and unplug all peripherals.

• Now remove the side panel of your desktop computer and place it in a safe place.
  

• Before you touch anything inside your system unit be sure to remove electrical static charge from your body by touching any unpainted metal surface like your door knob.

• Now locate the memory socket to install the new memory chips.
  

• Pull the clip and slide the RAM chips in the respective memory banks. Now push the clips back over the memory chips.
  

• Check that memory chips are well placed in the memory banks by moving it from side to side.

• Reconnect all peripherals and cover your system panel and reboot your computer system. You have now successfully installed new RAM in your computer system.

Increasing RAM will certainly boost your computer performance and you will notice how fast your application opens.

In Windows Xp the default location where the applications are installed is located in C:/Program Files. Sometimes you can run out of space in C: drive and it become impossible to install the programs. But there is a registry tweak which can let you install the applications in different directory of your choice.

Run the Registry editor by typing regedit in the run command box and go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion

Just look for the value named ProgramFilesDir. You will see that this value is shown as C:\Program Files by default. Now edit this value and add the location where you want to set the default installation directory. From now onwards XP will use this location as the new default installation directory.

Market is flooded with lots of desktop computers of different configurations, shape and sizes. The main points to look for when buying a computer are the best combination of features, quality, performance, support, and price. Let us consider some points which are important when buying a computer.

Choosing a Computer Processor

The CPU is the main core of a computer system. It is mounted in a socket on the motherboard and it controls the entire computer’s other components. The performance of a computer is mainly depends on the type of CPU used and this puts some impact on the cost.

Intel and AMD are the two major manufacturer of CPU. These two manufacturers provide several families of CPU having different sets of features and designs. So if you are looking for speed and performance the price of CPU will certainly increases. It becomes necessary that you first decide what kind of computer work you would like to perform in order to choose a computer CPU. If you are dealing with some work which require high amount of CPU power then you have to look for high performance CPU. But on other hand if you are buying a computer to carry out simply daily tasks then you should go for normal CPU.

The main reason to buy a better and high performing CPU is to make it compatible for future upgrades or updates in latest hardware and software. You should opt for mid range CPU which will run for long period and get adapt to upgrades easily.

Speed of Processor

Speed really matters when you have to process a large amount of data or you are running some heavy application on your computer system. But on other hand if your work is restricted to only doing some routing home or office task like word processing or web browsing then you don’t have to go for such high speed of processor. But always remember don’t go for a cheap processor because it will become obsolete for the future programs.

So the best method is to go for middle range PC having good speed with low cost. As said previously you need to know your requirements first and after that choose wisely which type of processor you really need.

Choosing Computer Memory

Every file or program when runs in a computer it first get loads into RAM (random access memory). RAM chips are mounted as memory modules in sockets on the Motherboard. Data is exchanged between CPU and memory every time you save or open any programs on your computer.

Every Manufacturer has laid down some specification on the amount of RAM needed for a particular system but the actual demands of your computer system mainly depends on the amount of data process by CPU and the amount of programs you run on your system.

Windows XP needs minimum 256 MB of RAM but if you want to use some advanced programs like video editing, photo editing where a huge amount of data is processed you should increase your RAM up to 1GB for faster performance.

Choosing a Hard Drive

Hard Drive stores all your data and program files. Choosing a hard drive depends mainly on the amount of data you want to store. If you want to store large amount of songs, graphics, want to play games and videos than you should go for 300GB of Hard Drive.

When choosing a hard drive please remember the following points

Hard Drive Speed: Hard drives generally come with speed of 7200RPM and 5400RPM. It is always a good idea to choose a hard disk of high RPM because it will be easy to locate large amount of files on your computer. Your operating system will load fast when using a high speed hard drive.

Interface: Interface is a system by which computer exchange data with disk drive. There are commonly two types of interface used by computer system called ATA and SATA. SATA is the latest technology as compared to the older. SATA is relatively faster than the ATA and process large amount of data between hard drive and computer.

Buffer: A buffer holds the temporary data that the computer recently read and is going to be used again. Buffer increases the amount of time taken by processor to process the data. Desktop computer have either a 2MB buffer or an 8MB buffer. If you want to play heavy games on your system than go for at least 8MB buffer.

Choosing a Motherboard

Keep in mind that before choosing a Motherboard you should choose a processor. Motherboard generally supports only one type of processor such as Intel Pentium 4 or Athlon. So keep in mind that you should buy a motherboard that can support the type of processor you have with you.

Always make sure that you choose a compatible RAM for your motherboard. DDR 2 RAM are generally very popular these days because of the speed and low cost.

Following are other things you should keep in mind while choosing a motherboard

• Chipset support
• SATA Support
• Processor Support
• Expansion Slots
• On Board Features
