</div>
Any time an idea is borrowed from a source—like a newspaper
article, a YouTube video, a tweet, or a class lecture—that source needs
to be cited. But that’s not all. The <i>way</i> citations are written
is also important. Not only are there different citation formats to
follow, like APA or MLA, but the citation of different source types,
whether a blog post or a speech or a photograph, also vary, even if just
slightly, e.g. capitalization. In this video, English instructor Renee
Swensen explains citation styles and documentation, essential knowledge
for any writer to have in order to avoid plagiarism.<br />

<b><b>Citation Styles and Documentation: Avoid plagiarism by learning how to c</b>ite YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and scholarly journals</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
MLA, APA, CMS, CSE etc. If you have heard of these before, you have
likely been asked to write a paper using them. What do these acronyms
stand for?<br />
<br />
Let’s talk about your different courses for a moment. You might have
an English class, a psychology class, or a history class. Different
courses are housed under different fields of study and different fields
have different groups who meet to decide how scholarly writing in that
field should be presented.<br />
<br />
<b>
</b><b>For example</b>, English falls under the Modern Language Association,
psychology falls under the American Psychological Association. These
associations have manuals that explain how papers should be written in
those disciplines.<br />
<br />
CMS is called Chicago Manual of Style, which a history course might call for or CSE for Biology and other science courses.<br />
<br />
The trick with these documentation styles is realizing you don’t have
to memorize the style, you simply need to follow the guidelines, and
use these guidelines as a reference. That means you might need to look
this information up each time your write an academic paper.<br />
<br />
Guidelines will specify how the paper should be laid out, such as
spacing, margins, headers, page numbers, etc. It will also detail how
to document any outside sources you used in the paper, such as in-text
citations, footnotes, works cited pages or reference pages.<br />
<br />
Knowing how to lay out the paper according to the documentation style
is one thing, but knowing how to cite sources is quite another, and
usually the most challenging for students.<br />
<br />
Let’s walk through a practice source and look at how to break that
source down to determine what kind of citation I need. We’ll use APA as
an example.<br />
<br />
The first thing you need to do when looking at a source, especially
one you accessed online, is determine what type of source it is.<br />
<br />
This source gives you some clues. It is a double-sided page, has an
abstract or summary, a list of references, the title of the source, the
main source may even have “journal of…” or looks like it has a specific
audience of scholars. This is definitely an academic journal. You need
to be able to differentiate between a journal, article in an online
newspaper or a blog.<br />
<br />
In order to cite the source correctly, you need to look up the type
of source in a reference manual, so you can see what information is
required in the citation. These manuals often contain model citations
for you to follow.<br />
<br />
For a journal article I need to be able to match the information in
the citation example with the information for my particular source.<br />
<br />
A citation for a journal article looks like this:<br />
<br />
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
Author. (year of publication). Title of article. <i>Title of Academic Journal</i>. Volume (Issue), pages.</div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<br /></div>
Author’s last name and initials, the year it was published, the title
of the articles (not in capital letters), the title of the academic
journal italicized, the volume number, the issue number in parentheses,
and the page numbers. Luckily, I don’t have to memorize all this, just
match my source with this sample.<br />
<br />
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
Mishra, A.</div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<br /></div>
The author of the article is Mishra, A. The year, (2013). The
title is cloud computing for library resources and services. The journal title isJournal of Library, Information and Communication Technology, the volume is 5 and the
issue is (1-2), with the page numbers 1-9.<br />
<br />
An MLA citation for this journal would have some differences, such as
capitalized titles, quotation marks, etc., so you need to reference up
your required documentation style to get it right.<br />
<br />
Now you have to remember that if you borrowed any ideas from a
source, like a YouTube video you watched, Twitter, Facebook or a class
lecture, you have to cite that source in your paper.<br />
<br />

In the age of Information explosion and internet era, web browsers are not only for browsing
web pages but also for doing something beyond our expectations. Most
prominent example we can point out for such a browser is Google Chrome,
based on open-source Chromium project, which the Silicon Valley
technology giant owns. Without considering the software or platform you
use, Shortcut keys are truly worthy, especially for those who love
quicker and productive techy life.<br />
<br />
In that sense, I hope that you will
love to know about how you can create your own Google Chrome shortcuts
and hence making usage like never before.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<img alt="Create Custom Google Chrome Shortcuts" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-12034" src="http://cdn4.techlila.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/create-custom-chrome-shortcuts.png" style="display: block;" /><br />
<br />
Here, I am going to make use of some in-built
abilities of Google Chrome as well as some powerful extensions. First, I will set up custom keyboard
shortcuts for specific extensions using in-built feature of Google
Chrome. I also hope that this tutorial will help you in replacing
hard-to-use Google Chrome shortcuts by easier ones at instance.<br />
<h2>
Google Chrome Shortcuts for Launching Extensions</h2>
As mentioned earlier, Google Chrome has a pre-built feature for
assigning keyboard shortcuts for each browser extensions you have
installed. Albeit the fact that it is a less-known feature, it is a
truly productive one. When compared to the latter option, involving a
third-party extension, the process of assigning keyboard shortcut is an
easy job. You just have to follow steps mentioned below.<br />
<h3>
Step One</h3>
Launch Google Chrome browser and navigate to the extension manager section. You may make use of either of following methods.<br />
<ul>
<li>Click on ‘Options button’, right to address bar -> Tools -> Extensions and it will lead you to the Extension Manager</li>
<li>Type ‘chrome://extensions’ in your address bar and hit Enter<br />
<img alt="Google Chrome Extension Manager" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-12035" src="http://cdn.techlila.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/google-extension-manager.png" style="display: block;" /> </li>
</ul>
<h3>
Step Two</h3>
There, you can see information about each Google chrome extension you
have installed, along with highlighting effect for active ones. There
are various options for enabling/disabling extensions, deleting and
managing options and permissions. However, you have to scroll down and
find out the option ‘Keyboard Shortcut and click on it.<br />
<img alt="Google Extension Manager: Create Shortcuts for Apps" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-12037" src="http://cdn2.techlila.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/google-extension-manager-step-two1.png" style="display: block;" /><br />
<h3>
Step Three</h3>
Instantly, you can see a pop-up window like shown in the following
image. Size of the pop-up box may change according to the number of
extensions, you have installed.<br />
<br />
<img alt="Keyboard Shortcuts Pop Up" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-12038" src="http://cdn.techlila.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/keyboard-shortcuts-pop-up.png" style="display: block;" /><br />
As you can see in the image, there are no shortcuts set for
extensions. Now, you can start assigning shortcuts for each extension,
shown there.<br />
<h3>
Step Four</h3>
For assigning Google Chrome shortcuts for each extension, you have to
click on the corresponding filed of that section. Once you have
clicked, the background of the field will turn red along with one
message ‘Type a shortcut’, just like in following image.<br />
<br />
<img alt="Typing Shortcut Extension Manager" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-12039" src="http://cdn3.techlila.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/typing-shortcut-extension-manager.png" style="display: block;" /><br />
<h3>
Step Five</h3>
Now, you have to enter the shortcut, by pressing which you want to
open the extension later. For instance, we have assigned the shortcut
‘Ctrl+Shift+W’ for WebRank SEO extension.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<img alt="Type Shortcut Key Extension" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-12040" src="http://cdn.techlila.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/type-shortcut-key-extension.png" style="display: block;" /><br />
<br />
However, you should try to not to give the in-built shortcuts of
Google Chrome (like Ctrl+T, Ctrl+W) in those sections in order to avoid
the clash. Once you have given all the details correctly, you may click
on ‘OK’ button, which will close the pop-up window.<br />
<br />
Yes! You have successfully assigned Google Chrome shortcuts for your favourite extensions.<br />
<h2>
Google Chrome Shortcuts for Various Browser Actions</h2>
Even though the former method can help you in activating extensions
instantly, Google Chrome does not have an option for controlling browser
actions. Therefore, I have to make use of an extension for doing the
job neatly. You just have to keep track on
following steps to assign Google chrome shortcuts for browser actions.<br />
<h3>
Step One</h3>
First, as I said earlier, you have to install one extension in your
Google Chrome browser. You can download this FREE extension, Shortcut
Manager, from <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/shortcut-manager/mgjjeipcdnnjhgodgjpfkffcejoljijf" target="_blank" title="Shortcut Manager">Chrome Web Store</a>.<br />
<br />
<img alt="Shortcut Manager Extension Installation Step One" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-12041" src="http://cdn4.techlila.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/shortcut-manager-extension-installation-step-one.png" style="display: block;" /><br />
<h3>
Step Two</h3>
After installation, taking not more than some seconds, you can see a
button, like shown below, near to the address bar of Chrome.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<img alt="Shortcut Manager Extension Installed" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-12042" src="http://cdn2.techlila.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/shortcut-manager-extension-installed.png" style="display: block;" /><br />
<br />
When you click on it, you can see a message like shown below. From
the dialogue box, select option ‘See all settings / Add new shortcuts’,
which will lead you to another page, the options page of the extension.<br />
<h3>
Step Three</h3>
The options dashboard of Shortcut manager will be like in the
following image, consisting of various sections. From the right top
section, click on ‘Add a new shortcut’<br />
<br />
<img alt="Shortcut Manager Extension Installed Add New Shortcut" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-12043" src="http://cdn3.techlila.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/shortcut-manager-extension-installed-add-new-shortcut.png" style="display: block;" /><br />
<br />
<br />
On the right section, you can see multiple columns with different
labels. On the first column, named Shortcut key’ you have to type the
shortcut. For doing that, click on filed and enter the shortcut keys
combination. As you cannot use the backspace for correcting short key,
you will have to hit the Clear button for erasing the shortcut key you
have entered. In case, if you click the backspace button, it will be
also included in the shortcut combination.<br />
<img alt="Shortcut Manager Save Shortcut" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-12044" src="http://cdn2.techlila.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/shortcut-manager-save-shortcut.png" style="display: block;" /><br />
<h3>
Step Four</h3>
In the below section, you can see a field named Action, where you
have to define the browser action according to your desire. There are
two options available in this section.<br />
<h4>
1. Browser Action</h4>
Here, you have a list of browser actions to choose from. List
includes opening new tab, opening tab in new window, moving tabs,
webpage navigation, scrolling, screen capture, navigate to downloads,
open nth tab, take screenshots etc. In case if you have selected option
to open favourite URL, you should give the URL next to the field.<br />
<br />
<img alt="Shortcut Key Working Extension Browser Actions" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-12045" src="http://cdn3.techlila.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/shortcut-key-working-extension-browser-actions.png" style="display: block;" /><br />
<h4>
2. Execute JavaScript</h4>
You can assign one shortcut for executing a specific JavaScript. You
have to select the latter option and then give the JavaScript file URL
or the script itself in corresponding fields.<br />
<img alt="Shortcut Key Working Extension Enter Shortcut Key" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-12050" src="http://cdn4.techlila.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/shortcut-key-working-extension-enter-shortcut-key.png" style="display: block;" /><br />
<h3>
Step Five</h3>
You have an option for restraining effects of specific Google Chrome
shortcuts in some sites, even though all pages will have effect of
shortcuts according to the default setting. If you want to restrict so,
you should give URL’s in the section called ‘URL Patterns’<br />
<br />
<img alt="URL Patterns Shortcut Manager" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-12047" src="http://cdn3.techlila.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/URL-patterns-shortcut-manager.png" style="display: block;" /><br />
<h3>
Final Step</h3>
If you have given all things correct and accordingly, you can now go
back to the top section of page and click ‘Save’. After the re-launching
of Google Chrome, the extension will be working fine as usual.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://cdn.techlila.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/shortcut-manager-save-shortcut1.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="Shortcut Manager Save Shortcut" border="0" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-12048" src="http://cdn.techlila.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/shortcut-manager-save-shortcut1.png" style="display: block;" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
In addition, you have options for restricting or disabling some
Google Chrome shortcuts in sometime. You shall go to the options page,
select the corresponding shortcut from list and hit ‘Disable’ to remove
its effect from Google Chrome immediately.<br />
<h3>
Conclusion</h3>
Here, I have shown you some options for assigning custom Google
Chrome shortcuts for browser actions as well as for launching
extensions. Hope both of these methods will be useful for your quicker
techy life. Do you know any other methods for assigning Google Chrome
shortcuts? Do let us know via comments.</div>

<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1369927626237_3866" lang="EN-CA">A hardware firewall is a device that is placed between an Internet connection and a network. Computers connect to the Internet via the network. But all data coming in will first be checked by the firewall. A firewall has the ability to check data entering into a computer through an Internet connection. If the source of the data is not reputable, the firewall will prevent it from being downloaded. A firewall also has the ability to identify and block inbound scans that hackers use to exploit security holes within a network. </span></div>

<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1369927626237_3886" lang="EN-CA">When setting up a hardware firewall, it is important that it is configured properly. If not properly configured, the firewall will block all types of connections or it may not work at all. A hardware firewall can be configured to block certain types of applications. A firewall is also useful in situations where a computer has already been infected with spyware. Since the firewall can prevent data from being sent into or out of the device, it will block the data being sent by the spyware application. Therefore, it can be used to prevent identity theft. </span></div>

<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1369927626237_3922" lang="EN-CA">A firewall utilizes packet filtering to apply rules within a network. It maintains Internet Security by analyzing packets that are received and sent by the computer that it is protecting. If the packet contains any indications that it may be a threat, it is blocked. A fairly recent upgrade in regards to firewall technology is known as <b>SPI </b>or<b> Stateful Packet Inspection</b>. SPI allows a firewall to check additional characteristics within a data packet. This feature allows firewalls to work more efficiently. </span></div>

<strong>What Is a Bounce Rate?</strong>
<br />
<div style="margin: 1em 0pt; text-align: justify;">
A bounce occurs when a user visits a website
and exits the page from which they came without having moved to another
page on the same website.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div style="margin: 1em 0pt; text-align: justify;">
A higher bounce rate means users leave your
website without viewing any additional pages. A lower bounce rate means
users stay on your website and have moved to a different page within
your website.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 1em 0pt; text-align: justify;">
Keeping track of your bounce rate is a
fantastic quality indicator to determine which pages are working for
you. Before you become alarmed, know this: <i>a high bounce rate does not
indicate failure! A high bounce rate might be the nature of your
website.</i></div>
<div style="margin: 1em 0pt;">
<strong>Referential vs. Content-Driven Websites</strong></div>
<div style="margin: 1em 0pt; text-align: justify;">
A referential-driven page or website
presents information solely for the purpose of providing an
authoritative and unbiased resource. Online referential resources may
include dictionaries, glossaries, timelines, encyclopedias, etc., and
these pages are often static (i.e., they do not require new material to
stay fresh). Referential-driven websites typically have higher bounce
rates because that's the nature of the website - readers search for the
reference material, find the website, and leave.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div style="margin: 1em 0pt; text-align: justify;">
Content-driven websites must stay fresh and
constantly provide relevant material. Examples of content-driven
websites include article directories, blogs, and news pages. A higher
bounce rate on this type of site may be an indicator of poor quality,
irrelevant content, poor navigation, and more.</div>
<div style="margin: 1em 0pt;">
<strong>Expert Authors Should Aim for a Low Bounce Rate</strong></div>
<div style="margin: 1em 0pt; text-align: justify;">
As content providers, Expert Authors who
provide high quality content should aim for a low bounce rate (50% or
less) and focus on increasing the average time the visitor spends on the
site. Unlike referential-driven website providers, content-driven
websites want visitors to stay on the website and continue clicking
through to different articles or areas of informative content on the
website.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div style="margin: 1em 0pt; text-align: justify;">
Using tools like <b>Google Analytics</b>, gather
your pageviews, visitors, visitor duration, and bounce rate. Compare
pages and determine why one page may be performing poorly and why one
page may be performing well. How was the quality of writing? Navigation
issues? Keyword selection? Ads on the page? Length of the article?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 1em 0pt; text-align: justify;">
To reduce your website's bounce rate and
increase the time on the page/site, use the pages that performed well as
a template or theme to emulate on other pages while still providing
original content. Additionally, try the following strategies:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li>Update your website with quality content frequently</li>
<li>Try out features important to your audience</li>
<li>Create interactivity (i.e., two-way flow of information between you and your audience)</li>
<li>Give your audience a reason to stick around (e.g., resources, quizzes, games, etc.)</li>
<li>Routinely check your links to ensure they are working properly</li>
<li>Continue driving traffic to your website via quality articles, social media, etc.</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 1em 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<b>Please note: </b>Don't be discouraged by a high
bounce rate if visitors stay on the page longer than average
(approximately 2 minutes). It could indicate the reader found their
information, read the article, and left. However, if a content-driven
page is clocking under a minute with a high-bounce rate - let these be
key indicators that improvement is needed.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 1em 0pt; text-align: justify;">
Understanding the dynamics and performance
of your website is the key to success. Not only will you be able to
target your audience by providing the content they want both in your
articles and on your website, you will save yourself from the agony of
wondering what is wrong with your website and your articles.</div>
<div style="margin: 1em 0pt;">
A National Repository on <a href="http://www.childhealthindiainfo.com/" target="_blank">Maternal Child Health</a> developed my me has a very good average Bounce Rate of 16%.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";">Utter
the words ‘Internet’, ‘comics’ and ‘free’ in the same breath, and the
words ‘online piracy’ crop up inadvertently. But don’t worry; we’re not
urging you to download off Piratebay. We’re talking about graphicindia.
com, a website dedicated to Indian graphic novels. The comic site
features works by writers Samit Basu, Samik Dasgupta and Siddharth
Kotian among others. But here’s the best part — you can read an ongoing
series for free, one chapter a week.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";">Author
Samit Basu says, “The model of free comics is nearly 60 years old. In
America, since the beginning of the genre, you’d get free promotional
comics. DC even has a ‘free comic book day’. The idea is to take the
same model online.” Samit’s newest novel, titled Unholi, is a sort of
apocalyptic take on Holi. Brilliantly (and somewhat eerily) illustrated
by artist Jeevan Kang, it depicts a zombie attack in Delhi on the day of
the festival. For now, you can read the first four chapters online,
while Samit works on the rest of it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";">Other
interesting reads worth a look include a Ramayana set in the year
3392AD and a horror series called Untouchable. There’s also Devi, a
graphic novel about a goddess who looks more like a superhero in her
leather overalls. A comic by Stan Lee (who co-created Spider-Man,
Ironman and Thor, among others) about a superhero in Mumbai is one of
the most awaited novels on the website.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";">So,
if all the content is available for free, how do the novels (and
publishers Liquid Comics, who run the website) make money? “In a digital
age, the greatest value for any content company is to build loyal
audiences,” feels Sharad Devarajan, CEO and founder of Liquid Comics.
Sharad and his team intend to build their audience-base through free
content and hope to have them buy a physical copy or the e-book
subsequently.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";">With
the launch of specialised comic book libraries in the city and the
Comic Con taking place in three cities across the country, has the
audience for the genre grown or does it remain as niche in India? Sharad
says, “Five years back, comics were still perceived to be kids
products. Now, a new generation of Indian creators have begun expanding
the boundaries of the medium.” Samit adds, “Right now, the market is
building slowly. It’s free, so the readership is big. When you have to
pay for it, it’ll be a whole different story.” Irrespective, for those
of us who love a good graphic novel, there’s no reason to complain.

unique international identification code to objects for use on digital
networks is expected to bring benefits for publishers, information
managers, multi-media distributors, archive and cultural heritage
communities, and the internet technology industry.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Published by ISO (International Organization for Standardization), <strong>ISO 26324:2012,</strong> <strong><em>Information and documentation -- Digital object identifier system</em></strong>,
is an efficient means of identifying an entity over the Internet and
used primarily for sharing with an interested user community or managing
as intellectual property.<br />
<br />
<div>
A DOI name is an identifier of an entity – physical, digital or
abstract – on digital networks. It provides information about that
object, including where the object, or information about it, can be
found on the Internet.<br />
<br />
Applications of the DOI system include (but are not limited to)
managing information and documentation location and access; managing
metadata; facilitating electronic transactions; persistent unique
identification of any form of any data; and commercial and
non-commercial transactions.<br />
<br />
"Unique identifiers (names) are essential for the management of
information in any digital environment,” said Dr. Norman Paskin,
Managing Agent of the International DOI Foundation, and Convenor of the
ISO group that developed the standard. “Hence the DOI system is designed
as a generic framework applicable to any digital object, providing a
structured, extensible means of identification, description and
resolution.”<br />
“The DOI system is designed for interoperability: that is to use, or
work with, existing identifier and metadata schemes. DOI names may also
be expressed as a URL, an e-mail address, other identifiers and
descriptive metadata.”<br />
<br />
ISO 26324:2012 gives the syntax, description and resolution
functional components of the digital object identifier system. It also
gives the general principles for the creation, registration and
administration of DOI names.<br />
<br />
The DOI system was initiated by the International DOI Foundation (a
not-for profit member-based organization initiated by several publishing
organizations) in 1998. The International DOI Foundation is the
Registration Authority for ISO 26324. To date, some 60 million DOI names
have been assigned to date, through a growing federation of
Registration Agencies around the world.<br />
More information is available on the Website of the International DOI
Foundation, including a list of frequently asked questions: <a href="http://www.doi.org/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="www.doi.org/"><strong>www.doi.org</strong></a><br />
<br />
ISO 26324:2012, <em>Information and documentation -- Digital object identifier system</em>, was developed by ISO technical committee ISO/TC 46, <em>Information and documentation,</em> subcommittee SC 9, <em>Identification and description.</em> It is available from ISO national member institutes (see the <a href="http://www.iso.org/iso/home/about/iso_members.htm" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="Participation by ISO members">complete list</a>

Traditional library card catalogues are <i>data-centered</i> <b>‘handicrafts</b>’ with lots of rigid rules controlling their access and descriptions and hence naturally very much under-used. Since the legacy is continued in modern <b>Online Public Access Catalogues(OPACs)</b> as early OPACs functioned like digital version of card catalogs, end-users also continued to admire library card catalogs and OPACs as ‘handicrafts’ than understand and use them extensively. Whatever limited use made of them is more for searching known-items and/or as adjuncts to library circulation system than as aninformation retrieval tool. Interestingly, many studies have reported that large majority of users prefer to browsing books on the shelves of libraries than browsing library catalogues.</div>

<b>Search Engines</b> intuitively captured the imagination of end-users with many simple and easy to understand features in information discovery and access. User-centric design, self-service, seamlessness, natural language search, fuzzy search, autosuggestion of search terms, spell-check, auto-plurals, auto-word truncation, showing similar items/pages, relevance ranking, popularity tracking, interaction and feedback, provision for varieties of filtering and browsing, etc. are the features users got acquainted from Search Engines. They never expected users to undergo information literacy trainings and not even to have a search strategy or prepare a complexsearch query, but allowed users to enter whatever natural language words come to their mind in a search box with a ‘search’ or ‘go’ button adjacent to it to click and execute without the burden of knowing field tags, Boolean operators or data structure and so on. As a matter of fact, unlike OPACs, by default they did not restrict the search terms to select fields even though that is an option available and this feature greatly increased the relevance of search results. </div>

Some clever Search Engines execute both in sequence, i.e., first as a phrase search and then as Boolean AND search if the resulting hits are below certain pre-specified number .Once the search results appeared, Search Engines effectively capture the attention of users with relevance ranked presentation, option to change the criteria for ranking like ‘latest first’ (i.e., by date of publication). The display of results by Search Engines is more convenient and comfortable than that from OPACs. Search Engines guide users, in a simple way, not only to modify the search and re-execute with the search <span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">box and keywords intact but also enable them to narrow down the search result through various filtering options like subject, author, format, date, language, etc. They also liberally allow users to play with result pages and items by moving back and forth and marking and demarking, downloading, e-mailing, sharing, exporting and processing and doing many more things. In addition, users can access and collate similar records with ‘more like this’ feature for a given author or subjects One welcome development in the recent past is that library OPACs are trying to imitate Search Engines and introduce external links to images, full text, TOC, summaries, author information and reviews of retrieved documents. Classification scheme, cataloging code and controlled vocabulary (thesaurus) are </span><span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">the three ‘sacred tools’ which pre-occupied librarians more than anything else over acentury. But Librarians did not bother to check the acceptance of these tools by end users. Present day Search Engines do have thesauri and taxonomies in the backand help users to map their natural language keywords so that end users are immensely benefited but without taxing them to know what is happening (or how it is happening) in the back. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">

<span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">Some of the rigid <b>cataloging rules</b>, the process of delineating metadata elements as access, descriptive and administrative data elements, are no more relevant on Web. As such, AACR, MARC and otherstandards have appeared more as limitations from user perspective than a user-friendly service. On the other hand, Search Engines have effectively re-purposed these data elements to add value to service and grown with the changed and expected user behaviour. Library catalogs are also changing, but slowly. <b><i>For example,</i></b> the extent of data mining done by Search Engines cannot be compared with Circulation and OPAC modules of any library management software.</span></div>

<span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">In a nutshell, rule-based data-centric design of OPACs turned out to be Librarian-friendly; where as user-centric design of Search Engines are immensely user-friendly. OPACs are no match to Search Engines as for as user-empowerment and minimal consumption-skill requirements are concerned. Of late, <b>Federated Search Engines,</b> in their effort to provide one-stop digital service to users, face challenges in integrating diverse OPACs and different sets of databases within the same OPAC. It is heartening to note that the new<b> J-Gate 2</b> has many features of a powerful Search Engine and is forging ahead to enhance it soon with even Federated Search Engine features to search in one go all your digital resources including OPAC.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">First of all it's important to recognize</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"> </span><b><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">how Google works</span></b><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">. Essentially Google has a
huge database that it refers to and which it builds automatically with the help
of spiders and robots. These spiders are</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"> </span><b><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">PHP
scripts</span></b><b><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"> </span></b><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">(programs
running on the Google server) which surf the web as we do by following links
from one page to another. When they find a page, they will then attempt to
categorize it by looking for words that are repeated often (or just a couple of
times) and by looking at what terms are associated with the page on other sites
(in the links for instance). The order is dictated by which site is the most
relevant, as well as which seems to be the best quality based on external
references etc, and you will then be given a list based on these factors.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="line-height: 14.4pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">In short then</span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"> </span></span><b><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Google</span></b><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">looks for matches in your text as well as similar themes on the
page. It doesn't (yet) understand what you are asking it and so you shouldn't
phrase your query as a question. Searching 'How do I go about fixing my PC?'
isn't going to be very useful.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 14.4pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 14.4pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">The other
reason this isn't going to be very useful is that the language is too chatty
(meaning that it will occur on fewer sites a that's not the way everyone
speaks) and because it's too general meaning the results won't necessarily help
you with your specific computer problem.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 14.4pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 14.4pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">What you need
to do then is to think of the short snippets of code that are likely to appear
on a relevant page and then search for that. So in other words if your monitor
won't turn on you should type in 'monitor won't turn on' or 'monitor not
turning on' which is likely to match a lot of discussions on forums as well as
a lot of other pages.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="line-height: 14.4pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Better yet
for something like that is to search for any specific error codes if they come
up, as these will be reprinted by people on forums etc who are asking for
advice.<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">'SERPs'</span></b><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">are the pages that come up when you do a search – '<b>Search
Engine Results Pages</b>'. These include your results as well as some other
things. The top few listings for instance will be adverts and these will have a
very feint yellowish background behind them – look out for this to identify the
ads.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

will see a little listing underneath each result. This snippet of text comes
right from the page and this is your best tool for deciding whether that page
is providing the right information before you go ahead and click it. Be
discerning here and you can save yourself a lot of time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

For instance if I want to learn how to play a guitar then I can create a scheme on my schemer profile about it. My circle of friends from <b>Google+ </b>and services tied to the site can recommend me a guitar shop or a class, where I could learn how to play it. My friends and others (if the activity is publicly shared) can even comment on my scheme with helpful tips.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
Once someone signs up with Schemer, that user can also view a host of activities planned by their friends on Google+. You might be able to tick off things you have done among them.<br />
<br />
<b>Local and Social</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
I guess the idea behind Schemer is to help people discover new activities they want to do. For instance if I was visiting a particular city, I might be served up city specific activities which I could find interesting. Schemer is also neatly wrapped with Google+, adding another reason to get on Google’s social network.<br />
<br />
Google might also be trying to create something like <b>Foursquare</b>, which is also a location based social network. With Schemer, Google might also be able to aggregate local data for its search results, which it is not exactly really good at currently. At some stage we can probably expect Schemer to be integrated with Google+ profiles and relevant Mobile apps.<br />
<br />
Facebook has recently bought <b>Gowalla</b>, another location-based social network. That would make it a competitor to Google’s Schemer somewhere down the line.<br />
Currently Schemer is in beta stage on invite only basis. To get into the queue visit their website and add your email id for getting an invite.</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03476435773909751270noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-721706779255291982.post-22588196756938281992011-11-24T17:16:00.002+05:302011-11-25T09:40:33.169+05:30Google Kills many products including Google Wave and Knol<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br />

In the past 12 months, Google
doubled its staff, tinkered with its search engine to speed up results, and now
answers more queries than <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Microsoft and
Yahoo</b> combined. But there’s one query we had to answer ourselves: <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><em>How does Google work?</em></b> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Blame spell-check. Ten years ago
this September, so the story goes, some Stanford grad students were helping <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Larry Page</b> choose a name for his search
engine. “<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Googolplex</b>,” said Sean
Anderson. (They’d already sensed how big this could become.) “<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Googol</b>,” Page replied. Anderson,
checking to see if the name was taken, typed g-o-o-g-l-e into his browser and
made the most famous spelling mistake since p-o-t-a-t-o-e. Page registered the
name within hours, and today, Google isn’t a typo, it’s a verb, one with a
market cap of about $160 billion. Here, then, is a guide to what happens during
a typical Google search—now, of course, with automatic spell-check.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">1. Query Box:</span></b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> </span>It all starts with somebody typing in a
request for information about the safest dog food, what time the D.M.V. closes,
or what the prime rate is in China.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">2. Domain-Name Servers:</b> “<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Hello,
this is your operator . .</i> . ” The software for Google’s domain-name servers
runs on computers in leased or company-owned data centers all over the world,
including one in the old Port Authority headquarters in Manhattan. Their sole
purpose is to shepherd searches into one of Google’s clusters as efficiently as
possible, taking into account which clusters are nearest to the searcher and
which are least busy at that instant.</div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">3. The Cluster:</span></b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> </span>The request continues into one of at least 200
clusters, which sit in Google-owned data centers worldwide.</div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">4. Google Web Server</span></b>: This program splits a query among hundreds
or thousands of machines so that they can all work on it at the same time. It’s
the difference between doing your grocery shopping all by yourself and having
100 people simultaneously find one item and toss it into your cart.</div>

Index Server:</span></b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> </span>Everything Google knows is stored in a <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">massive database</b>. But rather than
waiting for one computer to sift through those gigabytes of data, Google has
hundreds of computers scan its “<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">card
catalog”</b> at the same time to find every relevant entry. Popular searches
are cached—held in memory—for a few hours rather than run all over again. That
means you, Britney.</div>

the document server pulls all the relevant documents—the links and snippets of
text from its massive database. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">How does
Google search the Web so quickly?</b> It doesn’t. It keeps <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">three copies</b> of all the information from the internet that it has
indexed in its own document servers, and all those data have already been
prepped and sorted.</div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">7. Spelling Server:</span></b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> </span>Google doesn’t read words; it looks for <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">patterns of characters</i>, be they in
English or Sanskrit. If it sees your requested pattern a thousand times but
finds a million hits for a similar pattern that’s off by one character, it
connects the dots and politely suggests what you probably meant, even while it
provides you the results, if any, for your fat-fingered query for “hwedge
funds.”</div>

Web server so that they’re placed on the results page. The ad team is in a race
with the search team. Google vows to deliver all searches as quickly as
possible; if ad results take longer to pull up than search results, they won’t
make it onto the page—and Google won’t make money on that search.</div>

the thousands of operations it runs for a query, organizes all the data, and
draws Google’s cunningly simple results page on your browser window, all in

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Google’s genius lies in its
networking software, which helps thousands of cheap computers in a cluster act
like one huge hard drive. Those inexpensive computers allow Google to replace
parts without stopping the whole show: If a computer drops dead, there are at
least two others ready to take its place while an engineer swaps out the busted
machine.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Just about the only thing
limiting Google’s performance is how much electricity the company can buy. One
of its newest data centers (<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">code name:</i><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"> Project 02</b>) is near the Columbia River
in The Dalles, Oregon, which has access to <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">1.8
gigawatts</b> of cheap hydroelectric power; not coincidentally, this is where
major internet hookups from Asia connect to U.S. networks. The byte factory has
two computing centers, each the size of a football field.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Petabytes</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Based on the few numbers Google
releases, experts guess that at least <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">20
petabytes</i> of data are stored on its servers. But <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Googleytes</b> are famous for understatement; Wired says Google may
have 200 petabytes of capacity. So how much is that? If your iPod were just 1 <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">petabyte</b> (one million gigabytes), you’d
have about 200 million songs to shuffle. And if you started downloading a petabyte
over your high-speed internet connection, your
great-great-great-great-grandchild might still be around when the last few
bytes get transferred, in 2514.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Page Rank</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Google decides how reliable a
site is—and thus how important the site’s content will be when Google forms a
list of search results—by considering more than <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">200 factors</b> as it analyzes content. But the secret sauce is
Google’s patented formula for following and scoring every link on a page to
learn how different sites connect, which means a site is deemed reliable based
largely on the quality of the sites that link to it.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Googlebots</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Google deploys programs called <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">spiders</b> to build its copies of the
internet. On popular sites, Googlebots may follow every link several times an
hour. As they scour the pages, the spiders save every bit of text or code. The
raw data are pulled back into the cluster, run through the mill, and scheduled
to incrementally replace the older data already on the index and doc servers,
ensuring that results are fresh, never frozen.</div>

Google Plus tips and tricks or some useful Google+ Tutorials. Google Plus is
now become the most growing social network and gains huge users in the short
period of time while in the beta mode. A truth about this blog is that we have
included some articles about facebook tips and tricks and found targeted
visitors from major search engines but after lanuch Google Plus beta mode we
have included Google Plus tips and tricks in this blog and look the major
effect that my visitors from search engines increased as a rocket speed so this
live experience shows users are searching more and more about Google Plus tips
and tutorials in these days. </span></div>

show or hide of your data to the web. <b>Facebook</b> did many changes in their
privacy setting and launch <b>video chat</b> with skype after launch Google Plus beta
mode because if facebook don't take any action then for sure Google Plus reach
to the top level with easiest ways but there is no doubt facebook is struggling
to stand against Google Plus. By the way check out some most useful Google Plus

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;">Google +1 is yet another
attempt to make Google more social. It’s Google’s version of the Facebook
“likes”, a simple feature that’s very powerful because it’s part of a social
network. </span></span>Google will show +1 buttons next to all search results and ads, while
encouraging other sites to include the buttons. All +1′s are public and they’re
tied to Google Profiles.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; line-height: 18px;">The goal is to use this data to personalize search results
and ads by recommending sites +1′d by your friends. Google Social Search
already does this, but there’s no support for Facebook likes, so Google had to
come up with a substitute.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Yes, it is definitely
social. You can see what your friends +1′d which ideally lends more credence to
a particular search result. Since Google displays so many sites, these little
+1′s will help you sift out the crappy ones (if you didn’t banish them
already). Imagine if your best friend found a link interesting and +1′d it.
When you stumble upon that in the future, you’re probably going to click it.</span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">It is not a social
network. When the Google +1 project first started (as Google Me), it was billed to be Google’s Facebook killer.
Clearly, it’s not. The +1 system works more like Likes in Facebook or Diggs
in Digg, meaning to say it’s a bare bones simple way to show that you like
something. That’s good! Google became the king of search because it was simple.
+1 is simple.</span></span></div>

+1 yet. They’ve learned from previous mistakes in Google Buzz and Google Wave
where they dug a grave for those products by overhyping them. This time, by
starting small with a simple +1 icon only available on Google search results,
they can quietly go about their business and slowly add to it (like +1-ing
directly from a website, from Chrome, from apps etc.).</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-weight: normal;">The

and think they can be useful to friends, you can also hit the button there to
highlight them. That may sound like something no one would ever do, but the
implementation is actually pretty smart. You see, since the pages that are
linked to in Google ads also appear in Google’s regular index, if a page has
ever been +1′d as a regular result, it will also show up as +1′d in the ad.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;">But let’s take a step back for a second. Google
+1 is an extension of what Google has been doing for a while with
Social Search, Google’s Matt Cutts tells us. In their most recent update
to that feature, results were surfaced and highlighted when someone in your
social circle shared something on a social network like Twitter or Buzz. “</span><i>People
really like this aspect of social search</i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;">,” Cutts says.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 13.5pt; margin-bottom: 7.5pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 7.5pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-weight: normal;">At the
same time, the current social mechanisms require some work to be useful — you
have to explicitly share a link somewhere. You might not want to do that with
every link you like. And that’s where the +1 button comes in, it’s a simple way
to indicate you like a page and think it might be useful to others. Again,
</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">basically a “like” button</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-weight: normal;">.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

sharing results with your social graph (which is still sort of confusing given
that Google isn’t an actual social network, so it’s Gmail chat contacts, Reader
and Buzz friends, etc) , it is also about using that data in aggregate to
highlight better results for everyone. </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">For example</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-weight: normal;">, on a result that has been
+1′d, you’ll see if any of your friends have +1′d it (in a similar way to the
current Social Search look with people’s tiny profile icons under the result
itself). But you’ll also see that X number of other people that aren’t in your
social circle +1′d it as well.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

helps people discover relevant content—a website, a Google search result, or an

the +1 button to pages on your own site lets users recommend your content,
knowing that their friends and contacts will see their recommendation when it’s
most relevant—in the context of Google search results. In addition, a user's

recommended by friends and acquaintances is often more relevant than content
from strangers. For example, a movie
review from an expert is useful, but a movie review from a friend who shares
your tastes can be even better. Because of this, +1's from friends and contacts
can be a useful signal to Google when determining the relevance of your page to
a user’s query. This is just one of many signals Google may use to determine a
page’s relevance and ranking, and we’re constantly tweaking and improving our
algorithm to improve overall search quality. For +1's, as with any new ranking
signal, we are starting carefully and learning how those signals affect search
quality.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

What do you as a fledgling website owner or admin actually know about
making your site successful? How is it that a successful site manages
to <span style="font-weight: bold;">get so much traffic</span>? Is it
the product or the mere premise of the site, or could it be another
aspect that you just don’t quite understand? What is this acronym “<span style="font-weight: bold;">SEO</span>” that you keep seeing bandied about everywhere and how do you get a piece of the action for yourself?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zYMusZ36cyI/TnB5ckn1DNI/AAAAAAAAQQw/vKM8B0QC1IU/s1600/imagesCAJ0LA9T.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zYMusZ36cyI/TnB5ckn1DNI/AAAAAAAAQQw/vKM8B0QC1IU/s1600/imagesCAJ0LA9T.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Well
just to set the tone let’s get it over and done with and silence that
white elephant in the room that nobody’s talking about. <span style="font-weight: bold;">SEO</span> stands for <span style="font-weight: bold;">search engine optimization</span>.
If you are new to SEO and find it a complex and daunting topic to wrap
your head around, then consider yourself to have started your journey
and be on the path of the righteous. </div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The first thing to understand is the medium you are working with and
how to hook into it to make your website ultimately successful. Start by
thinking of the internet as a <b>massive library</b> full of content for
readers to discover. Of course in such a huge information resource you
will need a way to index and find information just like in any
traditional library. The building and maintenance of this index is a job
that has been assigned to the “bots” and “crawlers” commissioned by the
major search engines like <span style="font-weight: bold;">Google</span> and <span style="font-weight: bold;">Yahoo</span>.
These little critters continuously scour the internet and
systematically categorize your website, plus rank its’ relevance and
power. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-RANXd_UFpc8/TnB5veAJ4HI/AAAAAAAAQQ0/qjjlGnKEUu8/s1600/imagesCANMJ3U8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-RANXd_UFpc8/TnB5veAJ4HI/AAAAAAAAQQ0/qjjlGnKEUu8/s1600/imagesCANMJ3U8.jpg" /></a></div>
So how is it that you can use this in your favour? How do you get these creepy crawlies working for you so that your website ranks well and attracts
internet traffic? Basically you need to ensure that you lay out your
content on the web in a distributed and well defined fashion. Without
delving into the subject of where to post too much, I will say that you
should aim to post on your own site, <span style="font-weight: bold;">article directories </span>and <span style="font-weight: bold;">blogs</span>. The point I want to make though is that when you post your content, you need to describe it, tag it and <span style="font-weight: bold;">backlink </span>it to your site to ensure that you get the most mileage possible and the best rankings from the crawlers.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSbttm0whAdqN4aiPXAGOKDoUHzsRfVfFgDHPdb4woIR8kvQTe5RLu2aWsOuvwu5JJ3_fuC7Uw4MOZsYf4_ZfHPRT-OBFZOoRKSiMhcQ2tqeqgJbRlLYn0YwpObJ6bTOV1wF_wKlm8huT3/s1600/untitled.bmp" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSbttm0whAdqN4aiPXAGOKDoUHzsRfVfFgDHPdb4woIR8kvQTe5RLu2aWsOuvwu5JJ3_fuC7Uw4MOZsYf4_ZfHPRT-OBFZOoRKSiMhcQ2tqeqgJbRlLYn0YwpObJ6bTOV1wF_wKlm8huT3/s1600/untitled.bmp" /></a></div>
So
how do you actually go about achieving the above? Firstly when you
publish content you need to make sure that it has a heading relevant to
the subject matter. Next if there is a field to describe the content in
greater detail, make sure that you elaborate with keyword rich text.
This will not only get the attention of your audience but also that of
the crawlers. When posting on or away from your own site you will also
want to use the “<b>tagging</b>” field to tap into the various niches that
relate to your content or website. If it is a dating site then throw in
some combinations like; online dating, singles dating, dating advice and
so on.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Lastly you must learn how to add html keyword anchors
throughout your content. This will involve you plugging your
strategically chosen site relevant keywords through links. These links
will take your audience through to your website when clicked. Always be
careful not to seed these links too early in your article content as
this is frowned upon by the crawlers. Try to stay away from planting any
in the first three or four paragraphs to get the best possible ranking
outcomes.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
With the above advice you essentially now have the
basic information that you need to get out there and start making your
site a total success. Never forget that it takes time and dedication but
rest assured that you will see the difference and get your results.</div>

The mobile phones are becoming the most important gadgets these days as they can perform various task and improving all the tie with lots of new stuffs. One of them is the QR Codes (abbreviated from <b>Quick Response code</b>) and <b>Matrix Barcodes</b> (or two-dimensional code), which are becoming the hot favorite for every mobile phone users these days.<br />
<br />
<br />
It is readable by dedicated QR barcode readers, telephone cameras, and to a less common extent, computers with webcams. The code consists of black modules arranged in a square pattern on a white background. The information encoded may be text, URL, or other data.<br />
<br />
Common in Japan, where it was created by Toyota subsidiary Denso-Wave in 1994, the QR code is one of the most popular types of<b> two-dimensional barcode</b>s. The QR code was designed to allow its contents to be decoded at high speed.<br />
<br />
<br />
Although initially used for tracking parts in vehicle manufacturing, QR codes now are used in a much broader context, including both <b>commercial tracking applications</b> and convenience-oriented applications aimed at mobile phone users (termed <b>mobile tagging)</b>. QR codes may be used to display text to the user, to add a <b>vCard</b> contact to the user's device, to open a <b>Uniform Resource Identifier (URI), </b>or to compose an e-mail or text message. Users can generate and print their own QR codes for others to scan and use by visiting one of several paid and free QR code generating sites or apps.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivS3MRCUOnNujFKwRq0pWhwPx-lvzUbIJs-wlHGTS4jFQhItpECGFNWrw2VlgxXhNQaJxKI_BO7_3bjCoPtniaXuAve5gn68A5HxiYaw4cQ85M_nsiuZDVlYP3EAzcC2ypvB-V4HFA4Rxy/s1600/300px-QR_Code_Structure_Example_2.svg.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="358" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivS3MRCUOnNujFKwRq0pWhwPx-lvzUbIJs-wlHGTS4jFQhItpECGFNWrw2VlgxXhNQaJxKI_BO7_3bjCoPtniaXuAve5gn68A5HxiYaw4cQ85M_nsiuZDVlYP3EAzcC2ypvB-V4HFA4Rxy/s640/300px-QR_Code_Structure_Example_2.svg.png" width="640" /></a></div>QR codes storing addresses and Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) may appear in magazines, on signs, buses, business cards, or almost any object about which users might need information. Users with a camera phone equipped with the correct reader application can scan the image of the QR code to display text, contact information, connect to a wireless network, or open a web page in the telephone's browser. This act of linking from physical world objects is termed hardlinking or object hyperlinking.<br />
<br />
QR codes can be used in <b>Google's mobile Android operating system</b> via both their own <b>Google Goggles</b> application or 3rd party barcode scanners like <b>ZXing or Kaywa</b>. The browser supports URI redirection, which allows QR codes to send metadata to existing applications on the device. <b>Nokia's Symbian</b> operating system is provided with a barcode scanner, which is able to read QR codes, while <b>mbarcode</b> is a QR code reader for the <b>Maemo operating system</b>. In the Apple iOS, a QR code reader is not natively included, but more than fifty paid and free apps are available with reader and metadata browser URI redirection ability. With BlackBerry devices, the App World application can natively scan QR codes and load any recognized Web URLs on the device's Web browser.<br />
<br />
<br />
The technology has seen frequent use in Japan, the Netherlands, and South Korea, while the rest of the world has been slower in the adoption of QR codes.<br />

Now, you know that what are QR codes? QR codes are being used for various purpose these days. Many publishers are using the QR codes for spreading their content among the users. That is why, QR code generators are so much in demand these days. <b>Sparq</b> is one of the best qr code generator service which provides lots of features and facilities which can help in improving the business of a publisher. QR codes are going to be more popular in the near future and would be one of the most used mobile application very soon.<br />

It’s now a lifestyle decision for a lot of companies. Many individuals and organizations have abandoned a traditional Web presence (which used to mean a website and email address) in favor of a Facebook page coupled with a Twitter account.<br />
<br />
So, where does this leave email? Has the <i>@ symbol </i>lost its meaning as an address, and instead become the signifier of a <i>Twitter</i> name? I think that we need to radically reconsider our approach to email in this changing landscape and understand that it can be a powerful tool when leveraged correctly.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Changing Habits</span></b><br />
<br />
While I disagree with the assertion that “<b><i>social is killing email,</i></b>” evidence shows that email use among the younger generation is declining: a 59% decline among US teens between December 2009 and 2010, according to comScore. In the same study, only the over-55s had increased their use of email. This is especially significant if it represents a long-term shift away from email and towards social media and SMS as preferred methods of communication.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Losing Faith In Email</span></b><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrTC8AdTfaqcY-hNS5McIxhV5lFXLZxZ8W28KfNsVOuIO4U8iIsrEc08WlpT1juU8bxgJz_RquBc6eSvFc8cCbYuz0avQ1bU-ThaD3A0s1ou8Ys6SYTslnlG8Xf8jMJtdnAst-dajjKAAt/s1600/socialmediaicons.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="185" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrTC8AdTfaqcY-hNS5McIxhV5lFXLZxZ8W28KfNsVOuIO4U8iIsrEc08WlpT1juU8bxgJz_RquBc6eSvFc8cCbYuz0avQ1bU-ThaD3A0s1ou8Ys6SYTslnlG8Xf8jMJtdnAst-dajjKAAt/s400/socialmediaicons.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>Email has been around forever (it predates the Web), so it’s not surprising that, for some, it has lost its lustre. For one, it’s not exciting enough; other social media platforms have come with fanfare. Twitter has hosted world headlines, and Facebook has been the driving force behind many campaigns. In 2009, a Facebook Group even succeeded in getting Rage Against the Machine’s single “Killing in the Name” to the UK’s “Christmas number one” spot ahead of the X Factor single.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
This level of drama appeals to business types who like their social media “sexy,” and for this reason Twitter and Facebook push all the right buttons around the boardroom table. By comparison, an email marketing campaign may seem tired and old fashioned.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
For another reason, it lacks tangible value. Valuations of Internet companies (and particularly social media giants) have skyrocketed. In May of this year, <strong>LinkedIn</strong> was valued at $10 billion (roughly 41 times its 2010 net revenue). Facebook is still a private company, but rumors of a public offering in 2012 include a valuation that could reach $100 billion. While many in the industry see this as a portent of a second dot-com bubble, for a lot of businesses it is simply a compelling reason to invest in these services.<br />
<br />
Email is non-proprietary, which means that no one is pushing its agenda, and, unlike the LinkedIns, Groupons and Facebooks of the world, it cannot attract a market worth. Value theory tells us that if something has no market value (such as air, water, etc.), it is often taken for granted. I think email has suffered a similar fate.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfkrC8XDtuVojOO-1m4_P-PqSJP4bww8SLC61ealupn2JQo8zWvxlpvzIX0mXdCsH_amQALhnsWUvK1m3j0VnILFV7PauzyR7Sjr8ZzugL1eRjRWTZH2mnjWlp4HbwUZvMI6rB3p1RdQ4j/s1600/imagesCAH4OQS1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="292" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfkrC8XDtuVojOO-1m4_P-PqSJP4bww8SLC61ealupn2JQo8zWvxlpvzIX0mXdCsH_amQALhnsWUvK1m3j0VnILFV7PauzyR7Sjr8ZzugL1eRjRWTZH2mnjWlp4HbwUZvMI6rB3p1RdQ4j/s400/imagesCAH4OQS1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
Finally and perhaps most significantly, it lacks the pack mentality that most of social media thrives on. Despite the growth of marketing, email is still mostly private. No one knows which lists I am subscribed to or who I write to from the privacy of my inbox, even if by virtue of Facebook they know what I ate for breakfast. In stark contrast to the insidious evils of “like” culture, my email behavior does not broadcast itself all over the Internet, which for marketers is a decided disadvantage.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Email Is A Currency</span></b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-585WKgpJIFw/TjE84KZTFGI/AAAAAAAAQDI/vKwH_xX4lY8/s1600/email3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="263" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-585WKgpJIFw/TjE84KZTFGI/AAAAAAAAQDI/vKwH_xX4lY8/s320/email3.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<b>Everyone Has It</b><br />
<br />
It’s true that email is fighting with other services for online communication, but it is still ubiquitous in a way that other social media networks are not. As of May 2010, 39% of US Internet users had never used a social network, compared with only 6% who had never sent or received an email. If you want to reach the majority of your audience, email is still the safest bet.<br />
<br />
<b>It’s a Unique Identifier</b><br />
<br />
It’s worth noting that people tend to be members of multiple social media websites simultaneously, with varying degrees of involvement, but they usually have only one or two active email addresses. The email address remains the unique identifier online; you use it to log into almost everything, so it would take a lot for it to become obsolete.<br />
<br />
<b>It’s a Coveted Resource</b><br />
<br />
According to research conducted by the <strong>Direct Marketing Association</strong>, email marketing is expected to generate an ROI of $44.00 for every dollar spent on it in 2011. This is due in part to the fact that more customers are engaging via email: 93% of email users have opt-in relationships with a consumer brand, as opposed to 15% on Facebook and 4% on Twitter (according to Chris Brogan, president of New Marketing Labs).<br />
<br />
This value has been recognized by most social media networks. Facebook launched Messages, which provides each user with an @facebook.com email address, because it understands the importance of email in the social graph. <strong>Google+</strong> is also tying email more directly into social media activity, blurring the distinction between the two.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: left;"><b>Spam</b></div><br />
This incarnation of junk mail is relentless. It plagues users, who must be cunning to distinguish genuine mail from hoaxes. Email clients require elaborate algorithms to sift the wheat from the chaff. And perhaps most vexing, Internet marketers have to struggle to get anything commercial through to their subscriber lists.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, Twitter and Facebook are not safe havens either. Business folk are not the only ones taking a bigger interest in social media; scam artists are, too. As of April 2011, spam alone occupied seven full-time employees at Twitter. This is a drop in the ocean compared to email (over 73% of all messages sent are spam), but it might be a relief to hear that we are experiencing the lowest levels since 2008; at least things are looking up!<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Broadcasting</b><br />
<br />
Social media networks encourage multi-way conversations between many users. Even those who are not involved directly in the conversation can often “overhear” what is happening. Email is much more direct; it is usually between just two people and does not invite additional participants. Understanding this limitation of email will make it your greatest ally. Unless an email is personal, it will not get a response; however, it is one of the best ways to deliver direct messages, such as newsletters and alerts, which do not invite discussion so much as action.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Presentation</b><br />
<br />
HTML email is far more effective than plain text for marketing, but you’ll need to know the tricks to make it look good across different browsers. Writing code for email usually means going back to 1998, which is enough to put most people off it entirely. Luckily, Campaign Monitor and MailChimp offer some great templates to get you off on the right foot. But make sure to use a tool to test the email across different clients before clicking the “Send” button, or else you could do more damage than good.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Making Email A Part Of The Conversation </b><br />
<br />
Email is difficult to ignore. Unlike social media streams, in which content is disposable, an email demands your attention until it is read. Use this to your advantage: write newsletters; push your most engaging content in front of your users; adapt your offers so they match your audience.<br />
<br />
Also, email is a much calmer medium. Inbox zero is a difficult (yet achievable) goal, whereas staying on top of every stream, tweet and status update is not only stressful, but well nigh impossible! With email, you can take time and give thought to your words; you can dedicate some time to the person you are communicating with. Email not only gives your thoughts some room, but gives you time to write them down clearly.<br />
<br />
If you’ve heard of the Slow movement (which advocates a cultural shift toward slowing down life’s pace), then you might want to consider how email fits into Slow Marketing. Is it possible that cultivating brand advocates over time who have more than a fleeting interest in your product could bring long-term benefits? Could you talk to these customers in a more respectful way, one that leads to substantial, meaningful conversations?<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Think Twice Before Hitting “Send”</span></b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-s2d0KSVjbOU/TjE_6LvOwUI/AAAAAAAAQDY/gr5SDOSWLwc/s1600/e-mail20.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-s2d0KSVjbOU/TjE_6LvOwUI/AAAAAAAAQDY/gr5SDOSWLwc/s1600/e-mail20.gif" /></a></div><br />
<br />
If you’re not put off by the shortcomings of email and you find 140 characters more limiting than liberating, then you’re well on your way to incorporating email in your social media campaigns. Chances are your email subscribers are your most loyal audience, so treat them with respect (which means offering valuable content, and not too often), and they could become your greatest advocates.<br />
<br />
While reams of articles are devoted to creating social email campaigns, here are just a few tips to get you started:<br />
<br />
<b>Have something to say.</b><br />
Sounds simple, but while your daily musings are permissible on Twitter, your email audience will be less forgiving.<br />
<br />
<b>Make it digestible.</b><br />
Email doesn’t limit your word count, but you’ll need to apply some editing of your own. If it’s a long article, include an excerpt and link through to the website for the full story. This has the added bonus of enabling you to track the most popular items.<br />
<br />
<b>Be regular.</b><br />
Set a schedule of emails that you know you can keep to. A monthly or quarterly newsletter can be a good guide.<br />
<br />
<b>Be personal.</b><br />
Tailor your tone to the audience. Most email services offer invaluable segmentation tools. You wouldn’t speak to your spouse the way you talk to your bank manager; neither should you address your entire audience the same way.<br />
<br />
Don’t forget that email is only half of the conversation. Find out where your readers hang out (you can use their email addresses to locate them), and continue the discussion there! </div><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">Twitter is a great place to find and follow people with the same hobbies and interests as you have. Unfortunately, once you have as many followers as Darren does, it starts to get overwhelming to stay in touch with them all, and make sure the right information goes to the right people.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Making an appearance at a marketing seminar and love to cook? You’ve got a situation then. How do you make sure you’re tweeting details about marketing events to the seminar group while tweeting your favorite recipes to the cooking group?</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Enter Hashtags.</b> A hashtag is a symbol – # – followed by a name that can be used to broadcast to a specific group of people. For example, there’s a group <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">for #googlenews</b>, #love and even #kmart. None is probably more popular right now and relevant than the group created for the Mumbai attacks – <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">#mumbai.</b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Hashtags.org</b> shows the most recent group tweets on Twitter</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">To see which groups have already been created, visit www.hashtags.org – the official site that creates, organizes and displays these groups. Use the search box in the upper right corner to see if your group name is already available.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">If it isn’t, you can create it simply by tweeting and including the hashtag (#) within your post.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">The first step though, is to make sure hashtags can index and display your group tweets. Just follow @hashtags and the service will follow you back automatically. Then it’s time to help spread the word about your new Twitter group.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">For example</b> – Got a great Twitter tip? Just send it to <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">#TwiTip</b> and you could see it on our blog!</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">The second step is to get familiar with hashtag commands, so that you only broadcast a message out to the people you want to receive it, those being the members of your hashtag group. Here’s a quick rundown of the more useful ones:</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Follow #tag</b> – (example: follow #twitip) – lets you follow all updates tagged with #twitip.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Follow username#tag</b> – subscribe to all updates from a certain person that are sent to a group. (Example: Follow <strong>problogger#twitip</strong> will give you every post by Darren sent to the #twitip group)</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">#tag message</b> – Send a message or question to the group. (Example: #twitip Anyone know a great software program to organize tweets?)</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">#tag !message</b> – Send a message only to people who are subscribed to updates from #tag. (Example: #twitip !How many twitip users post to twitter daily?)</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Leave #tag</b> – Unsubscribe from the group. If your friends are subscribed to this group as well, you’ll still get messages from them that include updates for the group. (Example: leave #food will unsubscribe you from the Food group, but you’ll still get messages from your best friend and fabulous cook Jenny whenever she sends a message to #food).</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Remove #tag</b> Unsubscribe from the group and from friend messages that include this tag. So if Jenny posts a recipe to #food and you’ve typed Remove #food in your Twitter status bar, you won’t see that recipe even if Jenny is on your followers list.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">You’ll probably want to print out this set of hashtag commands for future reference. If and until Twitter creates its own built-in service for groups, hashtags is the most up-to-date (albeit unattractive) way to stay in touch and create powerful, profitable groups for expanding your Twitter empire and connecting with people who share your interests.</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03476435773909751270noreply@blogger.com0
