Whether you're a new blogger or a surfacing site owner, you might have wondered why most of the web guys are talking so much about SEO. SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization.

Okay, so what is SEO? It's basically a process to  improve the visibility of your site or blog in search engines' search results. One of the leading search engines are Google, Yahoo! and MSN. In general, the earlier (or higher on the page), and more frequently a site appears in the search results list, the more visitors it will receive from the search engine.

You can also update your site's searchability by editing your site's meta tags. Meta tags are descriptions of your site which search engines look for. But also, make sure that the tags you are putting in are relevant to your site's niche, otherwise, search engines will ignore your site because irrelevance to content.
 
You may also use useful tags for your blog posts. This way, Search engines can easily search for your posts. Think about it as 'keywords' or 'key terms'.
The searchability of your site is very important since not everyone knows your site url. So what you have to do is promote your site thru commenting and other site promotion methods. Another sure fire way is to register your site to open directories. At the start of your blog's or site's life, always remember that you should register them in these Open Directories especially in Google and Yahoo. From there on, build up your site's Google PR and Alexa Rank reputation. Constant updates to your site also tells the search engines that your site is alive.

One of the best methods I can think of is to attend seminars or workshops to learn more. I heard an event in the Philippines about a Google Insider Secrets to Search Engine Optimization seminar which will be led by a former Google Optimization Specialist. Learning the secrets from the master themselves doesn't get any better!

I have previously discussed in my previous post the difference between Google PR and Alexa Rankings as well as it's importance in promoting and letting the web world about the existence of your site. For this post, I'll discuss how you could increase your visitors, followers and readers.

When I started my blog last July 1st, my Alexa ranking was about 25 million-ish. My Alexa ranking for the blog's first month(August 1st) soared to 3,466,553. So, how is there a magic trick? No, it's pure work. As one of the seasoned bloggers I knew told me that the secret to a blog's success is 'hard work'. Pretty vague, but it's all true, every single bit of it.

Here's my definition of hard work when it comes to blogging:

1. Don't just post anything. Post something worth reading. Put your heart

Finally! A beta for Firefox 4! Are you one of those who experience crashes lately? If yes, welcome to the club. If not, still read on! I might be able to make you change your mind about your current browser.

Last Tuesday, Mozilla announced their first beta for Firefox 4 and its ready for downloading and testing! Clicky.

The beta has several new features, including privacy and speed enhancements.

They said that the new features include privacy and speed enhancements. Finally! I remember whenever I used facebook chat, my Firefox lags, there were even certain occasions when the browser stopped responding and closed. It was just until recently that i was able to fix this properly through the application configurations by promising to "be very very careful".

In two to three weeks time, Mozilla plans to unravel a new beta version and other beta versions weeks later in accordance to the beta testers' feed backs.



The Firefox 4 Beta 1 added a new add-on manager which supports Google's WebM format and fixes some flaws in certain web standards that could expose users' browser history like some old browsers did.

Mozilla has moved the tabs to the top, changing the browser's look. The beta replaces the Menu bar on Windows 7 and Windows Vista PCs with a single Firefox button. These changes will soon be incorporated to the browser's Linux and Mac versions as well.

The crash protections(released first in Firefox 3.6.4) some of us know, is also included in Firefox 4's first beta. This protection allows the users to resume browsing by just refreshing the page after a plug-in crashes or freezes. Start up and page load responsiveness has also improved in the beta version.

Here are some of the other features added to the new version:
- Jetpack SDK (software development kit)
- websockets
- support for the new CSS3
- and many more (check the Mozilla website for more details)

In the future, Mozilla will speed up the browser through the use of various technologies such as hardware graphics acceleration and more asynchronous input/output.

Firefox 4 will include a feature that will let users synchronize their settings, passwords, bookmarks, history, open tabs and other customizations across multiple devices.

Firefox has been crashing a lot lately, and it would really be nice if they could finish the beta's and create a new release right away. But, all that takes time, so, until then, we'll have to be contented with our betas.

Most of today's teenager generation revolves around the internet, social networks online games, online virtual communities and what nots. The important thing is, can the browsers keep up with the users and the technology required to fuel our hunger? Whether they like it or not, they'll have to, otherwise someone else will.

The term 'Hello World' been widely used on my old days as the most basic sample for web documents from htmls, to php files. So, I'm using those two phrases today as an introduction to my new blog.



I have already known blogging for quite a while now. I was somehow interested in blogging in the past, but later on lost interest in it. But, things have changed and I have seen blogging as a way to vent out, inform people and just simply speak your mind. So, Hello World!
