So, you launched your new site. And you are waiting for the traffic to come. And waiting, and waiting, and waiting,...
It currently takes Google 6 to 9 months to index any new site. Yes, 6 to 9 months and that is not to rank that is just to be indexed. As a site owner you can't wait that long. You can pay for search engine submissions but what if there was a FREE way to accomplish the same thing. And to have it take affect quickly.
Yes, there is a FREE way and it doesn't involve any complicated programming or massive amounts of your time.
Find websites in your category and at least one that is a Page Rank of 5 or higher and get them to exchange links with you. It is that simple. I've found this also works well with sites that have been live for a while it aren't indexed.

Rackmount Computer Monitors Provide Dependability

by Max Bellamy

Just as the racks themselves must be made of the finest materials avalaible and make use of the latest manufacturing technology so must the monitors that accompany them. In order to see what your server is doing at any particular moment, you have to hook it to a TV monitor to observe it in action. In order for the technician to fly that smart bomb into that enemy target, he has to see the images being transmitted from the camera in the eye of that missile.

From those images, he can guide the bomb to its target with unerring accuracy. It's the monitors that provide that ability. Monitors must be manufactured to operate under the most severe of weather and terrain conditions, temperatures so low that air freezes as it leaves your nose, to dry, dust filled desert terrains. They must be able to travel and not get damaged in the process. Some are designed to be used on mobile vehicles, plotting courses, and operating sophisticated equipment while traveling unpavedroads at high speed.

There are industrial flat panel monitors designed to operate in harsh environment and CRT displays that are put through rigorous vibration test before they are put into the field. And their sunlight-readable, high-contrast transflexive monitors designed especially to be readable in extreme sunlight. If you're going to be out in the field in Iraq, operating a group of high-tech tanks and other equipment, you'll want monitors that are rugged and reliable and can be easily read in the burning desert sunlight. There are monitors housed in stainless steel designed to protect against corrosion, windowblown dust, rain, splashing water, hose directed water and external icing found in harsh artic environments.

Needless to say, that's a bit more than you'd want for your family room set, but if you're out there in those environments you'll want the best monitor available to make your system functional and complete.

Reclaim Your PC from the Internet Spies

by Jason Frovich

Most Internet users recognize the need of protecting their computers against viruses, as the vast majority of us sooner or later become painfully aware of these nasty little programs when they shut down our PC, spam our mailbox or delete our files. Viruses are, however, not the only malicious software programs out there. The newest addition to the evil software family is the so called Spywares and a good anti-virus program or firewall is not enough to safeguard against these clever programs.

Spywares are known by many names such as adware, trojans, malware, browser hijackers ets. The thing they all have in common is that they will transmit your personal information to companies and individuals who have an interest in knowing about your surfing habits, online purchases, credit worthiness, interests, web searchs, chats, birth date and even your credit card number. The list goes on and on, since Spywares are constructed by promotional companies who need to know as much as possible about the online consumbers to target them effectively. By ewes dropping on you online, these companies hope to be more successful when sending out promotional materials.

Spyware usually enter your PC by piggybacking on other software downloads. Every time you use downloaded or otherwise shared files, including Freeware, Shareware or p2p sharing programs, you stand the risk of unknowingly infecting your computer with Spyware. Even confirmed virus free music files, films and computer programs can have Spyware stowaways. Once inside your computer, they will hide, monitor all your actions and promptly start telling your secret to anyone willing to listen.

Contrary to most viruses the Spywares actually make an effosrt not to be observed. Since they won't cause obvious harm such as deleting important files or shutting down your computer, they can thrive in your PV for years without you noticing, sending out massive amounts of information about all your online habits.

At a first glance, you might find this annoying but essentially harmless. Why not let the companies send me promotional material about things I am actually interested in? Spyware is however far from harmless, since the infiltration by Spyware not only let the companies know about your latest online search, but also mucch more private matters such as credit card details, online purchases of medicine and your private e-mail correspondence with family, friends and business partners. There are even examples of how this massive gathering of personal information has led to an overall loss of privacy and stolen identities. In the computerized world of today it is not hard to imagine the amount of damage and personal suffering the fraudulent use of person identity can causes.

It is abvious to anyone that we must start combating the Spyware programs, but the best way of doing this is not to panic and pull the plug on your PC, never go online again and keep five feet away from all freeware. There is a much better solution

What Is Spyware?

by Mark Freeman

Spyware is a rapidly spreading online threat to your computer. It is estimated that in the first three months of 2005 over 80% of computer users had a computer unknowingly infected with spyware. You may have unintentionally downloaded spyware on your computer when you visited a site and downloaded software you wanted, or, when you downloaded that cute cartoon e mail program from your friend.
What spyware does is allow someone to observe your computer use and track your behavior on the computer. Some of these programs are keystroke loggers, adware and so-called system monitors. Generally those that maliciously install spyware software on your computer are being paid by a third party for the information they gain from tracking you and hundreds of thousands like you. It's said that spyware is a billion dollar industry, one that isn't going away anytime soon.

A lawsuit was recently filed in New York against a Los Angeles company called Intermix Media. The lawsuit is based upon the State of New York's General Business Law which prohibits false advertising and deceptive business practices and laws against trespass. A successful lawsuit against Intermix Media could spell doomsday to the spyware industry. Until then, you need to know what to do to protect your computer from spyware.
Once on your computer spyware can be very hard to remove. At it's best spyware will cause your computer to slow down. At it's worst spyware can change settings on your computer and display advertising you don't want.
There are many anti-spyware programs available on the market today. You should perform an on demand scan of your computer on a regular basis. It is suggested that you re-boot your computer after the initial scan then re-scan to make sure that there are no "ticklers" left behind on your computer. These ticklers are designed to reinstall spyware. Don't forget to run your regular anti virus software on a regular basis.
Neware of free downloads of any type of files, music, video, free wall paper, etc. These can have hidden spyware.

Printer Ink Cartridges - Easier And Convenient

By Martin Smith

While working and printing out important documents you discover you are out of ink. Years ago that would have posed a dilemma. Daisy wheels and ribbons were used in printers in the past. Let's delve into the advancements made in printer cartridges.

1984 was the start of inkjet printers and printer cartridges. It was now easy to print documents and change ink cartridges. This comes after years of changing ribbons and adding toner ink to reservoirs within the computer. Dot matrix printing used a ribbon.

Printing became easier and more convenient as the industry discovered new ways to make it happen. When ink is squirted onto the paper through tiny nozzles it is called drop on demand. How much ink is dropped on the paper and which nozzle is fired and when is controlled by the software driver.

Cartridges for inkjet printers were commonly accepted by 1990. The inkjet cartridges can print on any sized paper, fabric, and on film. The inkjet printer is a popular choice for printing and is used in a variety of settings worldwide.

An exclusive type of ink cartridges are used by various brands of printers. Each ink cartridge is given an identification number and the models the cartridge is designed for are listed. Your printer's manual should tell you exactly which cartridge is appropriate for your printer because there is a wide variety of cartridges.

If you are trying to be economical, refill ink cartridge kits can be purchased that would allow you to refill the cartridges yourself. Refill kits are not liked by some because the print quality may not be as good and the cartridges once they are re-installed could fail to work.

You can get recycled cartridges from some retailers and sometime directly from the manufacturer. Inkjet cartridges that are compatible are made according to the original manufacturer's specifications. There is not a matching compatible cartridge for every cartridge.

You need to determine what type of cartridge the printer you are looking at has. The volume and the type of printing you will do must have the correct type of cartridge. Retailers, manufacturers, and the Internet will provide you with information you need about the printer you are looking at.

You can find discounted ink cartridges online. Type either ink cartridges or printer cartridges into your search engine. There are some amazing discounts offered on websites. You will have to some digging to find the best deal for you.

Pay attention to the top of the cartridge when purchasing them. The side of the box should have listed the models of printers that can use it. There are some really interesting facts in the timeline given below. There is a list of great trivia game answers in this.

The hard work that resulted in the inkjet cartridge as we know it is unimaginable. Cartridges high cost can be understood. In 1452, Gutenberg made the first printing press from an old wine press, moveable type and oil based ink. As Martin Luther began the Protestant Reformation he made rather extensive use of the printing press. 1714 saw the birth of the typewriter.

Although schematics done by Mills were discovered there is no evidence that any typewriters were actually made. Christopher Sholes, Samuel Soule, and Carlos Glidden, in 1874 created a keyboard that became known as the ¡°qwerty¡± because of the first five keys on the top row of the key board.

In 1894 Franz Wagner made a typewriter that is very similar to the ones we see today. He designed it so typists could watch as they typed. Previously you were unable to see what you typed until you were done because paper went through a roller as you typed.

The prototypical typewriter of its day, The Underwood was made by John Underwood. 1939 was when Charles Carlson developed electrography, the first dry writing technique developed in the United States. In 1949 Haloid Company for the first time developed elctrography commercially.

In 1949, when the Xerox 914 hit the market it basically forced businesses to make their communication systems more modern. Dry printing (laser printing) was first introduced by Xerox, by Gary Starkweather in 1969. The world's first business laser printer the Xerox 9700, was released in 1978 by Xerox.

Its speed was the copying of documents at 120 ppm (pages per minute). 20,000 lines per minute could be printed by the IBM 3800 in 1979. As of the 1980's the use of toner cartridges were out of date. The release of Hewlett- Packard's first home-based desktop laser printer occurred in 1984.

Tips for Buying a Fisrt Computer

By Guy Ames

The fisrt question you need to ask yourself is why you need a computer and for what purpose you will use it:
* Surfing the Internet * Sending and receiving e-mail * Word Processing * Spreadsheet and Money management * Listening and recording music * Storing and manipulating images * Playing games

When you are certain that you really need a computer then you need to consider what computer to purchase.
The most common type of computer is the PC. Fewer and fewer people these days use Macintoshes and while Apple still makes them they are used primarily for graphics work at the high end multimedia level.
For home or office use you may be far better purchasing a desktop PC with pre-installed software. And PC prices are on the way down.
Of course notebook computers are really great if you want to take advantage of the portability that they offer, although you really need to weigh this against the cost -- as laptops are still much more expensive than your average PC with the same functionality.
You need to determine what capabilities you want your computer to have - the size of the hard drive, the memory and the types of cards - video and audio - that it comes with.
For a standard home or basic office use you should be adequately served by 256Mb of RAM memory with a 80Gb hard drive for storage.
Two other things to consider are that you will need a monitor and software.
For a monitor, try for a 17 inch so that you don't have to squint to see what is on your screen. Flat panel displays are great for saving space too and the clarity of the displays now are quite impressive.
Most computers will come installed with software. Find what software the PC will come with and work out if this is all you need.
Basic word processing, spreadsheet and email/organizer software is adequate for most people and the ability to access the internet will require a modem installed as well.
If you are worried about learning to use your computer, don't be. There are tutorials within Windows XP to help get you started, and "wizards" are easy to use, step by step programs built into Windows that will help you learn a lot too.
Plus, once you get hooked up and online with your own computer, you will have access to millions of sites ready and willing to help you learn all about your new desktop PC, the software you have, and even learn how to do things you never imagined!
