What are Do-Follow links and No-Follow links

Friday, June 24, 2011

 

Making a blog popular is really a hard job and it needs a lot of effort. And if you have been trying to improve your blog’s traffic and visitors, then you must have heard the Do-Follow and No-Follow links on many websites and you might be wondering what the heck are these terms made for, even I was not aware of these strange words but believe me understanding them can help you get a lot of unique traffic to your blog.

 

There are 2 types of links Do-Follow Links and No-Follow Links :

 

Do-Follow Links: The links we generally use but are unaware of them are Do-Follow links.

 

For example this link Google is written as :

 

<a href="http://google.com">Google</a>

 

These links are pretty normal in use.

 

No-Follow Links: These links are also very similar to the normal links but have one small difference in writing their HTML code which is the rel=”nofollow” attribute.

 

For example this link Google is written as a No-Follow link as :

 

<a href="http://google.com" rel="nofollow">Google</a>

 

You can see that Do-Follow link and No-Follow link look same except for the rel attribute used in No-Follow link.

 

What are really Do-Follow and No-Follow links?

 

The more you have do-follow links to your blog from other blogs and blog directories, the more your website becomes popular and stands a good chance to get a higher Page Rank from Google. If a blog has page rank 6 and t has your blog’s link which is a do-follow link then your website is getting a piece of his Page Rank Cake too! and the value of your link in the Search Engines increases which helps in driving more traffic to your blog from Search Engines because these links are visible to Search Engines.

 

However no-follow links are just the opposite of Do-Follow links, these links don’t give any benefit to the website to which they link to. So you cannot expect any Page Rank increase or traffic increase from these links. They are only confined to single website and are not crawled by the Search Engine Spiders, which simply means that these links are not visible to Search Engines. So No-Follow links are of no use to your blog if you are doing a SEO of your blog.

 

So if you want to increase visitors and traffic to your blog then you should consider getting a backlink from Do-Follow websites.

How to recover data from a crashed hard drive, Getting data back from Abyss!

Saturday, May 28, 2011

 

Just a few days ago my laptop hard drive crashed and  I already knew all my data is gone for ever. My laptop was making a ticking noise from last few months and I had a small feeling that this was going to happen with my laptop and finally it did happen!! . So then started the quest to find a way to recover my data from that crashed hard drive. I searched a lot on the web and found that it was possible and it can be done by simply enclosing the drive into an external hard drive case which makes hard drive to be able to connect via USB port to a PC. But this was not all because my had drive was making a strange noise when it was there in the laptop, so I was sure that its going to be a mechanical fault.

 

Operating System Not Found! error during boot time

 

As I was browsing and searching on web for a solution I came across an interesting page Lazy (Men's) Electronics: Recovering Data from Hard Drive Failure . This person was also having the same problem as I went through his page, I got an idea of that it might be the problem with my drive too. When I opened my drive I found that fault was due to head stuck on the platter of hard disk which was not moving even when the platter was rotating. This was why the hard drive was making such a strange noise and my laptop started showing an error message ‘Operating system not found’ at boot time and my laptop was dead. It was not able to boot and load Windows. So I also checked the bios to verify if my drive was being detected and what I found was no drive detected which made me worried as all my data was gone.

 

 

Buying a new Hard drive to replace the faulty drive:

 

Failed Seagate Momentus ST9250827AS 250GB 5400.4 RPM

My new Seagate Momentus ST9500420AS 500GB 7200.4 RPM

 

To bring my laptop back to life, I researched over web and found that the same Seagate Momentus 250GB 5400.4 RPM drive was costly at around $85 and slower than Seagate Momentus ST9500420AS 500GB 7200.4 RPM which was faster, so I ordered the 500GB one  for my laptop for around $72 on Amazon.ca . I also made sure that the new drive is compatible with my laptop motherboard which is an Intel PM45 Mobile chipset and found that it supports higher capacity drives. The drive came within 5 days and YES! it was compatible with my laptop and got installed successfully.

 

Now the only thing I wanted was my data. So I ordered a USB enclosure from EBay just for $4.00 and got it shipped from Hong Kong. It took around 20 Days to ship to Canada and I waited patiently for it.

 

USB 2.0 Sata Enclosure for Laptop 2.5” Hard drives.

 

Data Recovery:

 

Now after it came I started the operation Data Rescue :

 

First I loaded the drive into the USB 2.0 2.5" SATA HARD DISK DRIVE Enclosure and then plugged it into my laptop for recovery but again the same sound came and now there was only last option left for me that was to open the drive and to see if the head was stuck on the platter. Then I opened the drive which had some 7 small screws with a T7 Screwdriver .

 

Opening screws of the hard drive

 

After I opened the drive my guess was right the head was stuck on the platter and I just carefully moved it into its resting location.

With my fingers crossed, I put it back into the USB enclosure and son of a GUN! there’s the data!, my laptop detected the drives. So I started copying the data as soon as possible because I knew its going to be dead soon as the drive was making ticking sounds. So I waked up until 2:00 AM to recover all of my data and then I decided to turn off the computer after I was done. I was able to copy about 90-95% data from my drive, some of the data got corrupted. But luckily all my important files were intact and were copied safely to my new drive.

 

Next morning when I waked up and again tried to connect the drive to get some songs and other stuff, the drive finally gave up.

 

My Seagate Momentus ST9250827AS Head fail

 

So how much did I Save! $$

 

I found that if I wanted to get my data recovered from a professional company it was going to cost me more than $1000! and the price of new drive is not included.

 

However I got the recovery done for just $4 which is the cost my USB enclosure from Ebay .

Why and How to use labels in Blogs

Saturday, January 16, 2010

 

Labels are great way to sort and mange the posts on your blog. When I started this blog, I was also not aware of what is the use of labels and how to use them.But they are one of the essentials in your every blog post. If you are also not using them then trust me you are missing a big thing in making up your blog.

 

Why and How to Use Labels ?

 

As the number of posts grow it is very difficult to show them up on your main blog page because your blog becomes to bulky to be opened up by a browser, so here comes the labels. They allow you to put different posts under different categories with specific words you choose. So whenever a person searches for any keyword on your blog then the posts with the same labels or keywords are showed up in the search results. This lets the viewers surf your blog in a very easy manner. For example the person search for posts related to Apple on your blog then all the posts with label apple are shown in the results.

 

 

Using Labels in Blogger blogs:

 

• Open up your blogger account on blogger.com
•  Make a new post.

 

• Now after you finish writing your post, put the labels in the field “Labels for this post:”
• Then click on publish post.

 

Setting Labels in Blogger blogs:

• After you have logged into your blogger account

 

• Go to Page Layout.

 

• Under Blog Posts click on Edit.

 

• Make sure that labels is checked so that the labels are visible in your blog posts.

 

• Save and exit.

 

 

You should also show up the labels in your blog through tag clouds, i have found an amazing flash animated tag could @ bloggerbuster.com you can use it easily and it looks beautiful too!.Always try using main keywords for labels like technology for gadget articles, news for latest news posts and so on. So if you are not using labels then start using them now.

How to make a Twitter Background and increase followers !

Monday, January 4, 2010

Twitter is spreading like fragrance all over the blogosphere these days, and if you are blogging than a twitter account is must for your blog. It help you shout for the updates you do on your blog. And these updates make impact only if your Twitter account has a large number of followers.

 

How to increase twitter followers ?

 

Although you can start following multiple people in a day on Twitter but that will not bring those interested followers to your account which are formed naturally. To bring those natural interested followers to your account, one way which I have seen on many successful bloggers accounts is their gorgeous looking Twitter Background.

 

How to make a custom Twitter Background ?

 

A twitter background should be like an overview of your website so that a follower can understand what you write about. The custom background can also act as a Business Card showing your personal information.

 

For a twitter profile i would suggest you to make a background of resolution 1024 x 768 px. In twitter your background overlaps with your profile, if the resolution is decreased.

Here’s how profile overlaps on different resolutions

 

Viewed in 1024 x 768

  Viewed in 1280 x 800

 

To tackle this you always have to make sure that your profile looks perfect in 1024 x 768 screen resolution. If the twitter profile looks good in this resolution then it is obvious that it will look perfect in bigger screen resolutions.

 

Twitter Layout Plan

 

Make new file with a resolution of 1024 x 768 px and then you should design the background within 150 to 155 pixels from the left edge. This is my approximate value from where you should design it will look perfect when applied on twitter and viewed 1024 x 768 to any resolution.

 

Example

In this 150 pixels design space, start designing from top left corner. Here  you can show your blog logo, you web address and write a short description about you web site like i did on my background. Always show your URL on the background as it matters the most.

 

And finally save your image in GIF, JPEG or PNG format and apply to your background.
