Google Penguin Algorithm





As my friend know that the search engine Google has updated its search algorithm that Google Penguin is one of the special algorithm to penalize sites - sites that are considered spam activities (webspam). So what is the impact if your blog is cleared by the algorithm? according to my knowledge I have gained during the adventure virtual world, blogs are affected by the algorithm will decrease traffic significantly. So if your blog suddenly the traffic suddenly drop dramatically if it means you've been affected by these algorithms? I think it too soon to draw a conclusion like that, it is because the affected blogs Google this penguin does not have at least one or more of the characteristics of such webspam review below.

1) Hidden Text: Text which deliberately hidden by giving the same color with the background color of the blog template that is used can be categorized as one of blackhat SEO especially when text we paste in the form of the keyword blog, Google will treat this as one way of spamming techniques in SEO.

2) Hidden Links: The same is the case with the number one above, create links that deliberately concealed by giving the background color of the blog template that is used can also be categorized as one act of spamming because for some people this kind of links can be used to get an terduka visit and it could be for the site – their affiliate sites. In other words how to hide the link of the same color with the background blog template can be used to trap a couple of blog visitors to visit a site that is not expected because that's what the Google algorithm Penguins make it as one of webspam.

3) Keyword Stuffing: In creating content that is SEO friendly we normally will repeat some of the specific words we use target keywords, the purpose is to make the percentage of keyword density to be increased, which in turn search engine Google will treat all our content is very relevant for shown since the number of keywords that we put in it. We notice that the Google search engine algorithm gives special restrictions when efforts optimization through the spread of keyword we run too high, Google will consider it as spam.

4) Irrelevant Keywords: Create a keyword that is not relevant to the content of the content can be said to be one of the attempts to manipulate the viewer and spider bots. That blog is not considered as Google webspam Penguin, we also pernatikan the selection of keywords for each of our blog content.

5) Cloaking atau Sneaky Redirect: For a site that is applying the practice of sneaky redirect and actual costing cloacking visitors of our blog, basically a visitor wants to come in and read our blog page but on the other hand when they go to the site it turns out they redirected to a different page. Neither man nor spider bot very hate this kind of site because that's what the Google algorithm Penguin will give vigorous penalties for sites to implement this technique.

6) Doorway Page: Doorway Page is search engine mengkelabuhi business by presenting a lot of keyword with a particular script (visitors can not see the keyword, only the spider bots). Most pages with this technique only serves content that charge minimal and less qualified so that makes this technique as one of Blackhat SEO techniques that violate Google's rules. At the moment, the site with the application of Doorway Page became one of the region a penalty from Google Penguin.

7) Duplicate Content: Duplicate content is not a secret that this technique will be one of the techniques that are categorized into Google webspam feature penguins. As much as possible to avoid this.

8) Link Spam: In strengthening the internal link building, every content will definitely give a link out to the content we are more. Outbound links that are not relevant to the content of our blog links can be interpreted as a bad link. More it gets worse the Google algorithm Penguin makes the content of blogs that contain links that are not relevant to link discharge as webspam. No links except from porn sites and sites with malware (viruses).

9) Automated queries to Google: For blogs that run the script automatically bring up a content search results primarily from the search engine Google, can be interpreted as detrimental to your blog visitors and of course google violated copyright themselves. For example the blog-the blog AGC and Auto Content.

10) Affiliate Programs: Mid-December of 2011, there is a new update on the Google TOS and one of them is the presence of a signal on the sites that follow affiliate program to present content that is more informative and relevant to visitors to avoid Google penalty. For the time being is also still so, when our affiliate sites less so giving value to our visitors, it could be Google penguin will assume the site we created just to make money regardless of the quality of our site.

11) Contain viruses and the like: One of the characteristics according to Google webspam Penguin is the site that contain viruses, malware, Trojans and the like. A site like this is very detrimental to the visitors because that's when our blog is alleged to contain the virus or whether it be intentional or accidental, can give Google the punishment directly on our blog if not immediately addressed.

12) Paid Link: The last feature of webspam in the Google algorithm penguins are paid links, Google knows when we are selling and buying links through new algorithms, Google will give you a gift penalty in the form of Google Penguin.

Well, the first posting about 12 traits of Webspam in the Google algorithm this Penguin. May be useful for all of us.
There are plenty of tools for converting YouTube videos, and VLC Media Player is one of them. VLC Media Player, the world’s favorite video player that supports nearly every video format, can also play YouTube videos on your desktop without requiring the web browser or the Adobe Flash player.  With its latest update, though, VLC can also simply play YouTube videos when you paste in a YouTube URL.

It wasn't promoted heavily, if at all, at the time of the 1.1 release. To get started, open the VLC player, click on Media button and choose "Open Network Stream" ( or simly press Ctrl+N ) to open the Network URL dialog and paste any YouTube video URL in the input box(just the URL and first parameter, like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmiKebc3l6w).





The Benefits of Watching YouTube Videos with VLC

The streaming videos will play inside VLC Media Player just like any other local video file while offering some additional benefits not available inside the standard YouTube player.
For instance:

  •     You can choose Video -> Always on Top inside VLC and the YouTube video window will stick to the foreground while you work on other tasks.
  •     Press the Loop button in the player controls and the YouTube video will play non-stop in a loop (also possible with Chrome add-ons).
  •     You can change the Playback speed of the YouTube video and make it run slower or faster than the normal speed.
  •     Use the Tools -> Take Snapshot option to capture a screenshot image of any frame or scene in the YouTube video.
  •     Watch the YouTube videos without the ads. I played a couple of movies and music videos inside VLC and none of them carried any pre-roll ads.

Play YouTube Playlists inside VLC

VLC, by default, only supports single YouTube URLs but it also possible to import an entire YouTube Playlist into VLC and watch all the videos in sequence.

Here’s the trick. Right-click and save this file to your desktop. Now open the VLC installation folder (%ProgramFiles%\VideoLAN\VLC) and move the .lua file into the exiting /lua/playlist folder.

Restart the VLC Media Player and choose Media -> Open Network Stream. Now paste the URL of any public YouTube Playlist here and the enjoy the videos.

In addition to YouTube, VLC Player can also play DailyMotion videos outside the browser. It is supposed to work with Vimeo videos as well but that is currently broken possibly due to a change in the URL structure at Vimeo’s end.

Apple iPhone 5




Apple’s making commercials again, but this time they’re really really good. If you’re not sold on picking up an iPhone 5 yet, these ads spotted by Macstories will probably get you stoked.

Each ad has a theme and a one word name. The ads show off different capabilities of the iPhone 5, and I must say that they’re extremely compelling. Have a look:

Orchestra:

Turkey:

Physics:

Thumb:

Ear:

Cheese:

My favorite one definitely has to be “Orchestra” as it shows off Apple’s genius marketing and ability to explain the complex in a simple way. Well done, Apple.

Also, I’m not surprised that “Maps” wasn’t released as an ad.

IT'S the new frontier of medical technology.
The new iPhone app allows a user to prick their finger and test their blood. Picture: Stephen Cooper




A snazzy gadget that hooks up to the iPhone to read diabetics' blood glucose levels.

Pharmaceutical giant Sanofi will today release the iBGStar to be sold in pharmacists across the country for $99.

The technology plugs into the base of the iPhone or iPod Touch. Users prick their finger with a lancet and then press the blood sample to the meter.

The blood glucose result will appear on the mobile screen within six seconds and can be emailed to relatives or medicos instantly.

NSW mother Annemarie Branson trialed the technology with her children Tim, 15 and Isabella, 12 _ both suffer from Type 1 diabetes.

Ms Branson said she receives email updates from her children with their latest blood glucose level.

Diabetes test on iPhone

The new iPhone app allows a user to prick their finger and test their blood.

"It's reassuring for me the kids can take a screenshot of their results, which includes details of their recent activity and how they are feeling and send it to me," Ms Branson said.

Australian Medical Association president Dr Steve Hambleton said he was "really excited" by emerging medical gadgets.

"I think it is great innovation and there is all sorts of opportunities. Anything that can help diabetics improve their management is fantastic," he said.

"We have to start utilising this incredibly powerful computer we carry in our pockets."

But, he said, it is important regulations keep up with innovation.

"We need to start getting an approval process up that says this is a quality product that is reliable. I think the developments are going faster than the regulations at the moment. There will have to be some way of accrediting these things to make sure we all have confidence they will give us accurate information."

Sydney GP Dr Brian Morton said he was concerned about the accuracy of these new technologies.

"This sort of technology makes it easier for diabetics to manage their blood sugar level, so on the whole is a good thing," he said.

"But, we always need to be careful of the accuracy of it. I think people who get it will need to correlate their results with accepted testing, like their home monitors."

NEW YORK — Think of it as the opening act at a concert: Nokia, Motorola and Amazon are unveiling new mobile devices this week before attention turns to a new iPhone and possibly a smaller iPad from Apple.

Makers of consumer electronics are refreshing their products for the holiday shopping season. Apple's rivals are hoping that a head start on the buzz will translate into stronger sales. Nokia and Microsoft, in particular, are trying to generate interest in a new Windows operating system out next month.

Here's a look at what to expect:

NEW iPHONE: Apple Inc. has been coming out with a new iPhone each year, and that's likely to continue. The new model is expected to work with fourth-generation, or 4G, cellular networks that phone companies have been building. A bigger iPhone screen is also possible. Apple said Tuesday that it will host an event in San Francisco next Wednesday. The topic wasn't disclosed, but the email invitation contains a shadow in the shape of a “5” — a sign that the iPhone 5 is coming.

Apple CEO Tim Cook walks on stage during the Apple Developers Conference in June in San Francisco. Makers of consumer electronics are refreshing their products for the holiday shopping season.

SMALLER iPAD: Many companies have tried to come out with iPad alternatives, but the ones that have had moderate success have tended to be those with smaller, 7-inch screens and lower price tags. There's a belief that Apple will come out with mini iPad this fall to compete.

REKINDLING THE FIRE: Amazon.com Inc.'s 7-inch Kindle Fire is one of the smaller tablets with decent sales. Last week, Amazon said it has sold out of the Kindle Fire, a sign that it had retooled its production lines for a successor. Amazon has a major event planned Thursday in Santa Monica. Amazon hasn't said anything about what it will say, but it's expected to announce a new Kindle Fire and possibly other e-readers, too. Barnes and Noble Inc., which makes the 7-inch Nook Tablet, may have an update this fall as well.

MOTOROLA'S RETURN: Motorola Mobility has scheduled an event today in New York. It will be the first Motorola product announcement since Google bought the company for $12.4 billion in May. Google, meanwhile, continues to sell a 7-inch Android tablet, the Nexus 7, made in partnership with AsusTek Computer Inc.

CALLING ON WINDOWS: Microsoft Corp. will release a new version of the Windows operating system on Oct. 26, one that's designed to work on both traditional computers and tablet devices. A new version of the Windows Phone system is coming out, too. Nokia and Microsoft have jointly scheduled an announcement today in New York. It's likely on new Windows phones under Nokia's Lumia brand.

SURFACE: Microsoft plans its own tablet computer, too. The Surface tablet will come in two versions, both with 10.6-inch screens, slightly larger than the iPad's. The Surface will go on sale on Oct. 26.

NEW BLACKBERRYS: In June, Research In Motion Ltd. pushed the release of BlackBerry 10 devices into early next year, saying it wasn't ready.
Automatic plate scanners being tried out by Quebec Police provide more information quickly.




The stolen car that led Gatineau police on a wild chase Aug. 14 wasn't spotted by a flesh-and-blood police officer but an all-seeing electronic eye that can scan dozens of licence plates in an instant.

The new technology could be a threat to individual privacy, says lawyer and privacy expert Jonathan Dawe.

"On the one hand, your licence plate is something you display in public, it's a public record," he said. "But there is a real privacy concern that emerges when there's technology that can collect people's data in public in a way that would be difficult for individual officers to do."

The licence plate detection systems have been in place for almost two years, a Gatineau police spokesman said.

Cameras affixed to four Gatineau police vehicles, both marked and unmarked, scan plates of passing cars and feed the data to a com-puter connected to the main police database that cross-references all known information about the car and feeds it back to the officer.

The Ontario Provincial Police rolled out a similar system in 2009. Through an information-sharing agreement with the province, the OPP obtain a list of what they call licence plates in poor standing - plates with expired tags, cancelled licences, or from stolen vehicles.

For both police departments, if the scan turns up any kind of violation the officer is immediately notified.

"As soon as we read a plate, you can see the result in the car," said Gatineau police Const. Pierre Lanthier.

Police say the systems are a boon for traffic enforcement and an important tool for keeping streets safe from unsafe drivers.

"For us, it's just another investigative tool," said OPP Sgt. Kristine Rae. "We still have to do the legwork, we still have to verify what the computer spits out. It's just an indicator."

Only four cruisers are equipped with the systems in Ontario, Rae said, and they rotate through different districts. The systems' database was originally planned to link up to the police information on outstanding warrants and criminal charges, but Rae was unsure if that connection had been completed.

Tom Stamatakis, president of the Canadian Police Association, said the automated licence plate scanners are not an exercise of any new police powers.

"It's just a more efficient way to do what the police have always done," he said. "The only difference is the volume of information. There's no difference in terms of what information police officers are accessing. From a policing perspective, it's a really efficient way to identify people who might be dangerous to others on the road."

It is unclear what happens to the data collected by police, including location and time of day, about vehicles that aren't flagged by the system.

Lanthier admitted that data about every car scanned by the Gatineau system, including offenders and nonoffenders, is kept in a police database for a time, but any further information about the system would have to be obtained through a provincial access to information request.

But Stamatakis said keeping the information around makes little sense for policing, and the reams of data would quickly fill whatever storage police had chosen.

"I can't think of what we'd use that for," he said. "From a policing perspective, there's no utility to retaining data where there's no issue."

Dawe said licence plate recognition systems are one part of the evolving conversation and legal framework surrounding privacy in the digital age. "They definitely should be a part of the conversation about the limits of privacy," he said. "Technology has made it far easier to collect this information. The cost of electronic storage is plummeting and it's made it easier to keep giant databases that make this kind of information easily accessible."

Nader Hasan, a criminal defence and constitutional lawyer, said he believes the public should be aware of the creeping expansion of police surveillance powers. The legal definition of privacy is based on when people feel they should have privacy. Hasan said that as technology advances, people's reasonable expectations - and by extension their legal right to privacy - can change.

"Technology has the potential to eviscerate privacy," he said. "The longer a technology is in place, the narrower the scope of your privacy rights. Even something that seems like an incremental diminution of privacy rights is something that must be approached with the utmost concern."

An Ottawa police spokesman said the department does not use licence plate recognition systems, but it is under consideration.




Motorola is dead-set on showing off some new hardware at its New York press event next week, but could it have more up its sleeve than we all expected?

A handful of leaks (accidental and otherwise) have already outed the Droid RAZR M and the long-awaited RAZR HD, but Bloomberg seems to have confirmed the existence of another new Motorola handset whose description doesn’t seem to match up with anything I’ve seen recently.

This device’s claim to fame is its use of an edge-to-edge display, which neither of the two previously-spotted devices seems to sport.

Arguably the RAZR M (seen above) comes the closest to that description — its 4.3-inch qHD Super AMOLED Advanced panel is bound only by a small bezel — but Bloomberg’s Jon Ehrlichman was quick to note in a tweet prior to the article being published that the device was “sans bezel”.

The report goes on to mention that the device in question was compatible with LTE networks, though that’s hardly a surprise considering Motorola’s track record.

So, obviously, the big question is “Is this thing legit?” For what it’s worth, I think it’s real, but I’m not so sure about some of the details that Bloomberg cites.

For one, Bloomberg’s source has pegged this handset as debuting at next week’s (9/5) Motorola event. Possible, sure, but given the device’s crazy display, it seems like the sort of device that would take center-stage at a Motorola/Intel event on September 18.
