Lately I found a great article written by Jeff Scott, Director of Online Marketing Services, and I would like to share here to lets you guys know in deep on the important of search engine traffic:

If you build it, will they come?
You have a domain name … CHECK! You have a website … CHECK! Now will millions of people come flooding to your website? … NOT SO FAST! Just like any type of business, if you want people to find out about your new website, you need to take certain steps to market your site so it stands out from the crowd and people find you.

The major search engines (Google, Yahoo!, Bing) have BILlIONS of different web pages in their results, so making the correct marketing decisions is critical to the long-term success of your website.

The Traffics is at the top
According to some studies, almost 90% of web searchers never make it to the second page of the results. What does that mean for your website? Simple. If you’re not ranked high on the search engines, you’re missing out on the majority of the traffic.

And as more and more people use search engines (vs. phonebook ads) to find the product/service they need, being ranked at the top can mean a large stream of potential customers visiting your business website every day.

Importance of Key Phrases
People use “key phrases” on search engines to find what they’re looking for. For example, if you’re a Mexican food restaurant in Phoenix, people might type in “phoenix Mexican restaurant” or “Mexican food in phoenix” to find your website.

Since there are dozens of different key phrases that searchers might use, it’s important that you identify all the different ways people might be looking for you.
These are the key phrases that you’ll want to use for “Search Engine Optimization (SEO)” to drive more traffic to your website.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
It all starts with a solid foundation … if your website is not “search engine friendly” then it can be difficult for your website to be noticed by the search engines.

Since there are dozens of different technical factors that can prevent your site from showing up on search engines, it’s recommended you ask your Webmaster/Designer to ensure your website follows proper SEO guidelines.

Importance of Backlinks 
Once your website is “SEO friendly,” it’s time to focus on “backlinks.” Getting other websites to link back to your website is one of the most important factors to improving your rankings on search engines.

How do you get bacldinks?
There are several ways, including writing content and posting on other people’s sites, mentioning your webpage on popular social communities, and participating in online forums in your industry.

“Backlinking” can often be time-consuming and difficult but it’s a critical step that needs to be performed.

One of the major components that power your car is the fuel system. The moment the engine starts, the fuel flows through a fuel line from the tank to the fuel pump. The fuel injection system supplies a clean air and fuel mixture that triggers the engine to run. Poor maintenance of the fuel system will result in weaker engine performance and if any of these parts break down, the engine could stop running.

While there are a number of things that can cause your fuel system to fail, the most prevalent one is dirt. This is why the fuel and air filter components are often said to be the vehicle’s front line defense because it prevents dirt from entering the fuel system. The fuel injection system is very susceptible to damage from dirt. When tiny foreign particles and deposits are allowed to build up inside, it prevents fuel from delivering to the engine. Proper maintenance of these parts is usually recommended by your car dealer during your scheduled service to keep the fuel system healthy.

Fuel Tank:
It holds the fuel supply and contains a sending unit which tells the fuel gauge how much fuel remains in the tank. It is important to ensure that the nozzle is clean so that the fuel is free of dirt when it is transferred into the tank.

Fuel Injection System:
The system mixes fuel with air in the internal combustion engine, with its main component being the fuel injector an electrically activated valve that sprays exactly the right amount of fuel to the intake valves of the engine. The pulse width, controlled by the vehicle’s ECU, determines the amount of time the fuel injector stays open.

Fuel Line:
It is a hose that regulates the flow of fuel and is connected to the fuel pump, fuel filter and fuel injectors. A clogged fuel line is like clogged arteries, and will cause difficulties in starting the car.

Fuel Pump:
While older vehicles uses a mechanical fuel pump, most modern cars now have electrical fuel pumps, which draws fuel
from the tank and deliver it under high pressure to the fuel injectors. The pump relies on adequate amount of fuel to keep it lubricated and is controlled by the ECU.

Fuel Filter:
It functions to trap contaminants before the fuel flows to the fuel pump. A blocked filter means debris can spread to the rest of the fuel system.

Air Cleaner:
Like the fuel filter, the air cleaner prevents particles and dirt from getting into the air/fuel mixture. A clean air filter helps your engine breathe better and help you achieve better fuel efficiency.

Guiding him/her through the phone are easy, if the person have some technical knowledge, but what if the person is IT dummy? Just like a chicken communicate with duck. For this case, I require to use remote access software, log in to their computer and help them troubleshoot their problem.

Remote access software is one of the good tools for technical support to solve the end user problem easily. Normally I will use RealVNC at my office, but problem is this software require port redirect/ port forwarding setting at the destination router, different router different setting, and also hard to guide the user do the setting at their router via phone call, this is not a easy use remote access software.

LogMeIn an alternative for RealVnc
How to use LogMeIn remote access software? some people said is very troublesome, and it take many step to start using this LogMeIn remote access software. In my opinion, it is very easy to use this remote access software, with few correct step. This is why I try to compile the step by step using logMeIn.com for any one who need to use this service.

If you are web designer, probably this tools will bring you a lot of benefit.

Found this video from one of the Malaysian TechBlog while I search more information for Google Adwords.

If you have a small business, no harm to have a try, Strongly recomended… try to choose postpaid payment method while you register Google Adword with using this coupon, if you choose prepaid payment method, you need to top up some amount of money in the account before you can start use Google Adwords.

For my experience
I choose prepaid payment method, and I force to top up MYR40 before can start using this service. Just beware!!!

Who is the next?

Just for testing stage, I have randomly pick a lowest bid blogger to blog on me. I was happy to see the review, nice and all positive talk while I first saw this review was complete.

Who know… At the end I found that this blogger CHEAT me and SponsoredReview. see this blogger set the post publish date to September (Back Date technique). WTF~!

The Actual posting date is 1st Nov, no wonder after I read this review and back to this blogger Index/front page, I never saw my review appear there. I cant search my review on top 10 post in the front page

All the evident are here, and enough for me to DISPUTE this case to SponsoredReview. Now I am waiting SponsoredReview respond

Please Play Honest…….

Internet are full of opportunity, but there are full of CON man, CON Blogger too, but please play nice if you want to stay long at Internet.

A lot of reader does not know what is WIN PE, it is call “Windows Pre-Installation Environment”. This is actually is use by system builder to pre-install the OS into each new close PC. I have upload the Image file already, any one need may sign up my Feed, and I will send the link to you on the Email you sign up.

Other then that Microsoft training that I attend, this time i have experience it my self. I do the process for my client PC, so that next time when the client come back, it is easy for me to re-format the PC

The time arerunning very fast, at 1st, it show 11 min plus remaining when my progress is 2%, but when reach 23% the time remaining is 5 min plus, mean that it take less then 10 min to create the image file, so to deploy it.

After the whole process done, I am curious on the file size of the Image file. so I went to check the property of the C Drive, it cost 4G plus

But after compress to Image, the image file just cost 1G plus, you may burn it to DVD or store it in your hard drive.
