Slow Internet Connection?

Posted by: admin  :  Category: Internet

There are, unfortunately, many reasons that could cause your Computer to be slow to connect to the Internet. But there are two main categories that they fall into: Very slow to connect, but once connected you can surf at a normal speed. Or, slow to connect AND slow surfing.

Very recently I had a Computer in for repair, the customer complained that he had to wait 5 minutes or more to connect to the Internet. And even checking his e-mail in Outlook Express was a very slow process. However, when I plugged everything in and fired the machine up on my workbench, it worked fine. It connected in seconds and surfed around the web at a perfectly acceptable speed.

So from this, it is quite obvious he has a problem at home with his phone line. I know this Guy has his Computer upstairs, so I suspect the problem lies in his upstairs extension line. It is a fact that your PC will perform faster on the internet if the line from your main phone socket to your PC, is as short as possible. And if your home is a long way from the telephone exchange, this just makes things even worse.

OK, but for some folks, they position their computer to suit themselves and it is not always possible to site it close to the main phone socket. So what can they do to improve things? My daughter has her PC upstairs on an extension. On her computer, she uses a Speed touch Broadband Modem and on their web-site they list an ‘Extended Reach’ driver package. This is specifically designed to improve internet connection on extension lines. It basically boosts the signal, and it certainly improved my daughters Computer. If your Modem came with an installation disc, pop it back in and it should have an option for ‘Updating Drivers’ or ‘Check for new software’ or something similar. It is worth updating your drivers from time to time.

The only other option if your Computer is a long way from the main phone socket, is to go wireless. Choose the fastest Wireless combined Router and Modem that you can afford. This plugs directly into your main phone socket and you then plug a USB receiver into each of your computers, if you have more than one.

Slow to connect but ok when finally on-line, usually, but not always, means the problem lies in your internal phone lines, or your computer is lacking resources. More RAM and a faster CPU are essential today. Your Anti-Virus Suite uses a lot more system resources than it used to do as it now tries to protect every aspect of your On-line experience. It is particularly active and dominant when you first connect to the internet, and will claim most of your system resources for itself during the first two or three minutes. If you have low resources, it can even claim 100% for its own use. Its ‘Job’ is to protect your Computer and it will use whatever resources are available to do this. Once again, it is worth checking the web-site of your Anti-Virus vendor, they may have a ‘patch’ or a ‘fix’ for this issue.

When you first connect to the internet, as well as throwing a security shield around your Computer, your Anti-Virus program will also call home, to check for new updates. It is worth being a little patient for the first two or three minutes, whilst your Anti-Virus performs this task. Look for the two mini computer screens on your Task Bar, near the clock. If they are both illuminated, this means activity between your computer and the internet, and you can bet your life, your Anti-Virus has elbowed everything else aside and is calling home. Another ‘clue’ that this is happening is the Red LED Hard disk light on your computer case will be going crazy! Keep an eye on those two mini screens and wait for both to go out, and then watch the LED. It will probably show hard drive activity for a few moments more after the two screens have gone out. This is just your Anti-Virus loading those updates and once again, it will use any or all resources until this is completed.

Now you have control over your own Computer again, you should find the Internet will now load quite normally. If this is happening to you, then the only way to improve things is to give your PC more resources. Either more RAM a faster CPU or both. For Windows XP the ‘minimum’ you should have is a 1 GHz CPU and 512Mb RAM. The accepted ‘recommended’ system requirements are a Pentium 4 1.7 GHz CPU and 1 GHz RAM. Uninstalling programs you no longer use will also improve available resources.

Incidentally, there are times throughout the day when the internet is particularly busy. Usually around 5 - 6pm when all businesses are sending day-end reports to head office and such like. Add to this the fact that kids have arrived home from school and they are all scrambling to get onto the internet.
However, if your Computer is slow to connect to the internet and also painfully slow to load web pages, then most probably, your computer is way low on resources or there is a fault on your external phone line. One recent customer I had, we where able to discover there was a fault at his local exchange, which was causing his slow connection. Most phone companies can easily do a Line-Test on your phone line; it only takes a few moments and is well worth giving it a try, before investing in upgrades.

Lastly, if your internet connection has suddenly, become much slower, then the problem is most likely a recent addition to your PC. This could be new software or an update. ActiveX controls are notorious for causing problems. Have you installed an update to your Flash Player or other installation? If so, try removing it using Control Panel - Add/Remove. You can always re-install it later. Also, run a Full System scan with your Anti-Virus and Anti-Spyware programs, just in case your Computer has become infected.

Computer Addiction

Posted by: admin  :  Category: Computer Addiction

Dictionary explains addiction as “the state of being enslaved to a habit or practice or to something that is psychologically or physically habit-forming, as narcotics, to such an extent that its cessation causes severe trauma.”

True! But how can computer lead to something as serious as ‘addiction’?
Believe it or not, computers and related fields have entangled man, woman and kids into its mesmerizing world so much that he has forgotten social norms of interacting.
Everyone around has become so fond of typing that no registers and copies and pens do exist now! The easiest thing to do is to sit in front of the PC and complete your work.

This sounded sensible when it started for it prevented all the efforts teachers did in reading different handwritings and clumsy work. But adversely this has lead to no homework being done genuinely. Homework can be easily copied from a friend, with a click or even from the internet itself with the least effort.

Computers were good when no accounts were to be maintained on paper and the machine did all the calculation, but what about the computer bugs that do this trade off in calculations and are so complex for a normal human being that tracing ‘what went wrong and where’ is next to impossible. Loosing of important data due to sudden computer crash can again be very frustrating.
Such has become the fate of computer.

Today, with the ease of getting an internet connection, computer and internet are almost used as synonyms of each other.
Internet, as its other counterpart did start with its entire chocolaty image, but its affects have been quite adverse especially for the kids.

Gambling and porn mostly constitute the negativity of this internet and computer world standing against a huge list of advantages, but still, when measured on a scale, these two things out weigh the effect of all the positive aspects internet and computer has to offer.

Computer Monitoring Software

Posted by: admin  :  Category: Monitoring

Parents are looking to block internet sites these days and let me tell that from all that I have seen, I would have to say that WebWatcher is one of the top computer monitoring softwares out there. Not only can you view somebody else’s web activities from home, but you can also do it remotely which makes this quite a convenient tool to use.

Some of the great features of WebWatcher include:

Remote Monitoring - You can virtually access and track website activity from virtually anywhere you have an internet connection

Track and Block Websites - You can track and block certain websites according to specific keywords and content that you decide on.

Invisibility - The software is not easily viewed so that it can be access or modified by other people. This is a great feature because most teenagers and adults are techies and they can easily remove other computer monitoring software quite easily if they have a know how on how to do it.

This is a great software to use when you want to monitor the web activities on kids, teenagers and even spouses. If you have ever wondered what your spouse or kids view online while you were away, then you can’t go wrong with this one.

Now you can have that certain assurance in knowing that your loved ones are not viewing inappropriate websites when they are online. This sure does give you a certain satisfaction when knowing how bad and uncertain the internet can be. Did you know that certain things online can directly influence the behavior, attitude and motives from the one that is viewing it?

Eliminating the uncertainties of your loved ones website usage can play a great role in preventing something in the future that may cause them see things differently. My experience with WebWatcher computer monitoring software has been a satisfying and re-assuring one. I no longer have to worry about what my kids or spouse view online when I am away.

Why is SEO so important?

Posted by: admin  :  Category: Internet

Internet has become a part of life. These days, we do everything from communication to shopping, from gathering information to providing information about our business. If you are not ‘online’ you don’t exist. This trend has given way to a whole new venue where businesses can grow and operate.

There are millions of people who are running their business through the internet and are earning great profits from it. Now you must be wondering, why some websites are so popular, while a large number of websites stay in obscurity? Why do some websites pop up in the first few search engine results while others come in later pages?

The answer to this question is SEO or Search Engine Optimization. SEO means optimization of the content of a website in a way that it’s ranking in search engines rise. Search Engine Optimization involves using the right number of keywords and keywords that are in the right place in the content. This ensures that when those particular keywords are searched, the website is shown in the first few search results.

Naturally, the higher a website is shown in the search engine results list, the more traffic it will get. This is the main reason why some websites get more traffic and bigger profits than others. For example, suppose you run a travel website about tourism in London.  Just writing good content won’t be enough to get good traffic to it. You will have to make sure that the people who are trying to gather information about tourist activities in London get to see your website. For this, you will have to use the right keywords and key phrases in the content. This is what we call SEO.

Search Engine Optimization can be a tricky thing because you must know exactly the right keywords and phrases and put them in the right places. You must also know which keywords are searched most and which keywords will be beneficial for your website. In SEO, there is not a “one size fits all” rule. Each website is different and its optimization should be according to the specifics of that website. That’s why you must hire a professional SEO service to optimize your website.

Why SEO Services?

SEO Services will use the right keywords to ensure better ranking for your website. A good SEO service will make sure that your website content includes the popular keywords which are searched frequently in the niche of your website.

A SEO service will increase visitors to your website by presenting your website when they are looking for products, services and information that your website provides. It will definitely increase your online business. This practice is known as SEO Marketing.

SEO Marketing is one of the best tools to promote any website because it solves the basic problem with any online venture. It solves the problem of getting enough exposure in the search engines. It doesn’t matter how much you try to publicize your website through other means of internet marketing unless and until you get your website optimized. Therefore, hiring SEO Services is a step in the right direction.

The best and the most effective method of SEO optimization is through organic SEO. This kind of optimization is perfect for people who are working with a limited budget, but still want to reach large audiences.

What is Organic SEO?

Organic SEO is search engine optimization in its truest form. These days, many search engines offer paid SEO services. This service allows a website owner to “buy” a few keywords and phrases of his choice. When those phrases are searched, his website is displayed in the top search results. In return, the website owner is required to pay a certain amount for every click to his website. This is known as pay per click optimization.

Organic SEO, on the other hand, has no such formalities. In this kind of SEO, the website is optimized by good and popular keywords and the rest is left to the search engines. No amount is paid to anyone. Organic SEO has many benefits such as:

· People trust organically optimized websites more
Anyone can buy any keywords in the pay per click method, so potential site visitors cannot be sure of the legitimacy of their content. This is why people are more likely to trust the organically optimized websites in favor of pay per click optimized sites.

· It’s affordable
Organic Seo is much more affordable than the pay per click method. One doesn’t have to keep making regular payments to search engines using this method. Plus, the pay per click method carries the risk of getting increased traffic, but potentially fewer sales, i.e., you can lure people to your website through this method but can’t force them to buy. This sometimes becomes a raw deal for website owners.

· Relevance
Organically optimized websites ensure relevancy of the content. The search engines display these websites because of their content and not because they were told to pick them, so this relays a better image to internet users.

In short, organic SEO is the safest and best choice for website owners who want to create a good and substantial website that people can trust in the long term. This is also very good for those who want to increase traffic to their website without spending too much money.

If you want to get your website optimized, then you should contact an SEO service that provides guaranteed SEO for the website. This means, hire a service that has expertise in this field and that knows how to optimize in the best possible manner.

There are hundreds of websites on the internet which claim to give the best and guaranteed SEO services. You must make sure that you hire the best by checking their previous records, the testimonials and reviews on their website. This will give you an idea of their performance.

In the end, all I can say is that there is hardly any popular website that hasn’t been Search Engine Optimized. And if you want your website to be popular, you now know what to do.

Link Building - Why You Need to Get the Best

Posted by: admin  :  Category: Internet

Link building has become one of the most important tools to use in internet marketing. This is an incredibly effective and profitable way to provide good exposure for a website. This tool works on the simple principle of letting people know about your website and what it offers. But before you try this service out for your website, let us explain to you how link building works and benefits a website.

How can link building benefit your website?
Increase in Traffic: Link building creates a lot of doors through which your targeted traffic can enter your website. Links to your website are submitted to various websites whose content is related to the subject of yours. This way, you can naturally divert the traffic on those websites to your own.

Increase in Search Engine Rankings: Most search engines consider the number of links and amount of traffic on a website while determining its ranking. Hence, link building will almost certainly result in an increase in the search engine ranking of your website.

Better one way links: Traditional link building is two-way link building in which both websites display each other’s links on their web pages. One way links are links to websites whose links you don’t display on yours. One way links are great to improve a website’s image as they prove that the content on the website is so good that other websites agree to display its links without any reciprocation. A good link building service works hard to get as many one way links for your website as possible. One way links improve traffic to your website because the one way links look natural and not paid for.

Web Promotion: Most websites have different pages for the different things they offer. However, often some of the pages don’t get much traffic because the visitors don’t know about them. Link building popularizes different pages of your website. Unlike other marketing tools which focus on the entire website as one, link building works at a more detailed level. It promotes each and every page of your website in different venues.

More targeted audience: Link building naturally attracts a large number of the people who are looking for a website like yours. Since those people find links to your website on other websites related to your niche or industry, you will catch the attention of more people who are looking for the services or products you are offering on your website.

In order to have a successful link building campaign, you must keep the following things in mind.
• Ensure that you have site content that is relevant, easily understood and likely to be approved and appreciated by your readers.
• Ensure that your content has no grammatical or spelling errors.
• The site should have an accessible privacy policy and an “About Us” section that describes you and your company so that you present an image of credibility. Add your picture to add authenticity and personalization

How can our Link Building Service help you?
Now that you have in depth understanding of the process of link building and its benefits, let us explain how our Link Building Service will help your website improve its search engine rankings:

i. We will review your website pages and contact various websites in your niche and industry and ask them to display links to your website on those websites.
ii. Another method of building one way links is through the use of pay per click tools. This can be a great marketing technique, helping drive visitors to your site and increasing brand exposure as well.
iii. We can also syndicate an article at major article sites like EZINE. These sites are frequented by many people and so they normally rank higher. When your articles are listed in a place which is itself highly ranked, you are more likely to receive increased traffic to your own site.
iv. We can submit to news sites articles which include links to your website. We can also syndicate press releases both of which are other methods proven to improve one way link building. You can then track visitors who choose your articles and offer them unique exclusive content as well as relevant news.
v. If you have quality articles, we will try submitting them to paid directories.
ii. We can create affiliate programs on your website whereby your affiliates send their visitors back to your site.

Enlisting the help of a specialist, professional or an expert in the field of search engine optimization is one of the most important things you can do for your website and one of the best ways of ensuring your one way link building project becomes a success.

The writer of this article owns a website called “LinkBuildingSolutions.Com” which is a great place for One way links. If you are looking for quality One way link building service that gives you top class link building solution then this is the place for you. Your one stop shop for all your Link building needs.

The Anniversary Celebration Continues with the Founder’s Day Ball

Posted by:  :  Category: Uncategorized

In honor of the 140th Anniversary of Stevens, the Student Government Association (SGA) sponsored the first annual Founder’s Day Ball. Held last week in the Bissinger Room in the Howe Center, the Ball was an event for the community to celebrate Stevens, its history, its students and of course, its legacy of innovation. With Bandwidth, the student Jazz-Rock band, playing many hits and a mix of DJ’ing done by DJ Amlan and WCPR, the campus radio station, more than 150 students danced the night away.

In addition to students, several administrators and Board of Trustees members were in attendance. After appetizers and hors d’oeuvres, a formal meal and dessert followed, complete with a decadent chocolate fountain. The night culminated with raffle prizes and the announcement of the new SGA President and Vice-President, Stephanie Spelman and Kendra Appleheimer. Students were able to have formal pictures taken throughout the night to commemorate the Ball and all guests received a special glass, designed specifically to celebrate 140 Years of Innovation here at Stevens.

IMG_9113
“The Founders Day Ball is the exactly the type of event that a lot of students were looking for—a reason to dress-up, party, and have a good time as students,” said current SGA President Abel Alvarez. “I hope this becomes a new tradition.”
