Giving Your Computer a Shield of Armor with Three Easy Tips

Giving Your Computer a Shield of Armor with Three Easy Tips

by | Oct 25, 2012 | Guest Post

password hellLog on to your computer and?you've?got the world at your fingertips; but as you know, the world is full of both good and bad things. If you don?t use the internet wisely, it could come back to haunt you. Here are three important lessons on the rule of responsible computer use.

1.) Don?t Take Your Passwords Lightly

To say that your password needs to be unique is an understatement. Use a variety of characters?letters, numbers, and even symbols, if it?s allowed. Make it something specific to YOU and nobody else! Stay away from words or numbers that you know people would probably guess first, like your birthday or your middle name.Just as important as the good passwords are the bad ones. In fact, if you do a simple web search, you will see compiled lists of the most common (and easy to guess) password names?in other words, ones that you should never, ever use. Some of the most popular ones include:
  • (a) ?password?
  • (b) your username for that account
  • (c) any consecutive numbers or letters (12345, abc, etc.)
Here?s another great pointer: Change your passwords every so often. By doing this, you?re more efficiently protecting yourself from hackers. Maybe you update it once a month or once every other month.

2.) A Truth about Virus Protection Scanning

Regularly running a virus scan on your computer can be a huge help; but know the limitations. First of all, running two scans simultaneously actually works?counter productively? so don?t do it! Secondly, always remember that these scans don?t pick up everything, so it?s vital to practice safe internet use in order to avoid bugs.There are some downsides to using virus scanners, like the costs of renewal and scam programs masquerading as protection programs. Also, scanners can sometimes recognize programs as viruses when they really?aren't. You go and remove them, and your computer can?t function anymore.When in doubt, choose judiciously. Don?t assume that just any old program is safe to use. Read online reviews, ask your friends, and contact the computer experts. Some are better than others.

3.) The Footprints You Leave Behind?

A lot of people don?t like to believe this, but it?s true: Once you put something on the internet, it will always be there. It?doesn't?matter if you delete it. Somewhere out there in the World Wide Web, it still exists. Plus, with the diffusion of information down to less than a second, you won?t be able to see it before potentially millions of people can access it.Long story short, if you?re not positive you want the world to see it, don?t post it!The dangers lurking behind your computer screen can be intimidating, but if you click and type with caution, you?ll stand a better chance of staying out of harm?s way!George Travis writes for several tech blogs and recommends finding out how to transfer files here on the internet.

Guest Blogging Still Works

Guest Blogging Still Works

by | Oct 16, 2012 | Guest Post

Recently, Matt Cutts answered a question sent to him about the future effectiveness of guest blogging. That question is certainly not a new one, as a lot of SEO professionals use guest blogging as an effective link building tool, and have long wondered about how long it will remain effective. What is the most poignant part of this debate is that while there is a link building strategy behind guest blogging, it is also a very legitimate resource. What is important to remember is how to remain effective as a guest blogger to make sure that your efforts aren't made irrelevant. To do this, guest bloggers really need to follow the rules that have been around the entire time of guest blogging. You have to avoid spinning articles, writing low value and low word articles, and remember to put effort into your posts. If you do all these things, your guest posting efforts will not go to waste.

No Article Spinning

This, again, is nothing new. Spinning articles (slightly rewording an article to get it reaccepted) has never been an acceptable way of guest blogging and getting links. Not only are you hurting your link building campaign, but you are also hurting the sites that you post on. This not only will get your links unnoticed by Google, but you are also running the risk of of getting your links penalized. Furthermore, if you spin articles, places will not want you to post on their site. This will kill your guest posting quicker than anything else; not having a site to write for.

Avoid Low Word Count Articles

This is another tactic that will hurt your guest posting very quickly. Google sees really short articles as simply link bait, and does not give your link credits.The fact is there are article "farms" out there that spin out these articles to simply put links out there. If you want to differentiate yourself from these writers, then you have to make sure that your articles are substantial. There are certain topics that are?inherently short in nature, and in that case you have to make sure you exhaust the topic. Most blogs have word limits anyways, but even if they don't, or have low word limitations, make sure you go above and beyond the limits.

High Quality

This also seems like a no-brainer, but you have to make sure that you put full effort into your articles. This means that if it takes some time and rewrites, make sure you are putting out the best quality you can. With the newer Google updates, the crawlers have gotten better about picking up on content. Part of this is in an effort to make sure that your content is relevant to any links in the body. It is also a way to try and qualify what is in your article. This has made it even more important to make sure you churn out the best content you can, and to get all the benefits from your writing.So in short, guest blogging is not dead, but it has become a lot tougher to pull off. In a way, this is a good thing for us quality guest writers. With all the other stuff out of the way, our content comes to shine, and credit is given where it is deserved. There will always be benefits for guest blogging if you put in your time and effort. With crackdowns like this though, it's good to know that what we see online has become more legitimate.BIll Thomas is an SEO blogger and content creator for?Aspire Direct.
