JZip Software Review Beware

Posted on November 23, 2011 by admin

jZip Review

Just a heads up that jZip software should be avoided at all costs. This freeware or shareware program by Bandoo Media Inc. loads the nasty searchqu toolbar and malware into your system. It is a major pain to remove.

We contacted jZip and Bandoo directly but to no resolve and note their homepage falsely indicates no spyware or adware will be loaded. It is sad when companies purchase start-up software companies in an effort or as a means to infect the general public. One can only suspect that this in turn will create sales by forcing users to buy spyware software to fix problems.

This one time popular free zip and unzipping software should be avoided and be diligent in checking out what you are putting on your PC that claims to be free.

We recommend you stick with winzip or there are a few other free zipping or compression tools available on-line that are good at the time of this writing.

SEO Tools

Posted on April 15, 2011 by admin

SEO ToolsWe have been using a free Google monitoring software by CleverStat for years but it appears Google is clamping down on them and as a result many software bugs have risen to the surface.  Many searches on our keywords no longer get checked and it seems to take forever to complete the task at hand.

As a result we began on a quest to find a suitable replacement. We needed something that would advise of our search engine rank position for specific keywords in our niche. During this search we found a program called Traffic Travis and it has been around for several years.

Many may or may not have heard about Traffic Travis SEO Tools but we think it is top notch and we have moved over to this new FREE software SEO Tool.

You can check it out and download it at the following link: http://tinyurl.com/traffictravisdomainpro

PayPal – Merchant Referral Program – A Customers Review

Posted on December 15, 2010 by admin

I never get off on slamming any on-line entity but cannot help but disclose to our readers my recent experiences with PayPal customer service and their Merchant Referral Program.

It all started on a cold winter day in November, when we referred a personal client to sign up for a PayPal business or premier account. After providing our client the merchant referral link which in itself is very challenging to locate, they gladly signed up as we provide SEO Services and other online support to this large organization.

After completing sign up, their first transaction was over $1000…which met the #2 criteria (has to be over $200 and not eBay related).  Needless to say at some point we expected to see some sort of indication from PayPal that we had in fact gained a referral. Weeks passed so we attempted to navigate the PayPal maze Continue reading →

SEO Tips Optimizing Your Images

Posted on December 4, 2010 by admin

Optimize Your Images

Many people, including me, neglect to address this or forget about this task when we add images to our sites. Every image you add to a blog post, is an opportunity to capture traffic from the search engines.

However, since the search engines still fail at image recognition, you have to help them by indicating what’s on the image. You start doing that with the post wording or content around the image and with the alt and, to a lesser degree, the title tag.

The content in the alt tag should describe what the image is about, and it can’t hurt to add a keyword or two in that description. It’s also perfectly fine to have an alt tag that is longer than 3 words!

Search engines build libraries of images and having your images correctly labeled in this inventory is just another way to secure free traffic.

More Internet Resources

Posted on November 9, 2010 by admin

Internet tools which make our already hectic days more productive are on today’s agenda.  Here is another software review on some tools we have started to utilize and rely on heavily in our day to day operations.

If you are already using some of these babies give us your professional opinion.

COOL internet tools:

#3 – Gmail via Webhost – To improve deliveries to our contact list or all our readers we use Gmail!

So info@domainprotege.com for example is actually delivered directly through my Gmail account. An added bonus is all emails are saved, stored and are easily disseminated anytime and on-line. Got to love it.
http://mail.google.com

#4 – Google Reader – Google Reader enables you to quickly and efficiently access all the websites we follow and read. You can also post topics to the social networks in the click of a button.  What normally could take an hour is wrapped up in 15 minutes and it allows me to stay on top of what is happening in the marketplace!

How to quickly index your website

Posted on October 21, 2010 by admin

This post will focus on how you can quickly index your website with search engines and in turn help provide some traffic. So you have generated a WordPress blog or other website and have started posting content but Google or any of the other major search engines still have not found your site.

Here are some things you can do to get recognized:

  1. Submit your site to the search engines. This usually flags the engine to crawl your site.  For Google here is the submission link  Google AddURL or Submit
  2. Build some social contacts using blinklist.com, furl.net, stumbleupon.com etc.
  3. Add your site to aboutus.org and there are many others…these instantly create back-links to your site and will help Google and other search engines expedite the indexing of your webpage.  www.statbrain.com is another…after you enter your URL or domain you should notice the link to your site at the top of the page. This is good!

For a complete list of social media sites and link building sites we use for each new website start-up please subscribe and we will forward the report.

Google Search Tips

Posted on July 2, 2010 by admin

Use Operators to Properly Connect Keywords

We love tips and features which simplify or improve results. Anything which will permit you to cram more in less time or in the business world – improve productivity. You can spend hours searching for specific results in search engines, however, if you learn a few of these simple operator requests or tips you will drill down much quicker and find more relevant results.

Use these “commands” to improve your search results:

  • Use Negative Keywords

If you’re seeing irrelevant results, identify a keyword that has nothing to do with what you’re looking for and make it your “negative keyword”. Simply add it to your search query with a minus symbol in front of it, for example if you were looking for the band Gossip, you would search for [gossip -celebrity] (without the brackets).

  • Use Quotes

This is most commonly used to find an exact match. Since Google already uses the AND operator to connect single keywords per default, you won’t need quotes to find exact matches in most cases.

However, if you find that Google returns results with highlighted keywords that are spelled completely different from what you entered, try to put these single words into quotes and try again. This will prevent Google from returning more popular keywords that are only vaguely similar to your search term.

  • Search Within a Specific Website

If you don’t want to search the entire internet, but instead a specific URL, this operator is of great help. Type [site:URL "your search query"], for example [site:http://domainprotege.com "website hosting"].
