Open Office vs Microsoft Office

Some of you may have not known the difference between the two, I am writing this not for you so I assume you already have an idea what is the difference between the two. As we all know the Microsoft Office has reached its peak. Well as far as our present technology is concerned for I am assuming that there will still be upgrades and improvements that it will undergo. Now looking at Open Open Office, we cannot blame the authors for the project is Free and Open Source. But at least they have to do competitive work. So that the Open Source world will eventually rule.

I am an avid Ubuntu user. But the thing that I do not like about being in Ubuntu is that I cannot use a good word processor at least in interface. Not unless if I have a Wine installed perfectly with out lag running on my system. In my case, Wine can't help. Choosing either of the two under Microsoft environment is easy. You may answer me, "Microsoft Office of course!" And we have a variety of choices, XP, 2007 or 2010 or higher. I'll ask you, would you use Open Office than Microsoft Office, granting you have license? I bet we have the same answer. Unless you are one of Open Office developer ("patronize your own"), or you may have personal reasons of your choice.

What's my point? All I wanted is that Open Office be upgraded. It cannot be done without good developers to help out.

Google Docs have now activated Document Pagination

If you are a Google Docs user, you might be disappointed to see that the document you are doing do not have visual page break. That is you cannot "see" the next page (just like what we see in MS Word/ Open Office) Now, they have enabled the pagination and that is a big thing for me or maybe for you!

Google spend 2 months testing for this. Good job Google!

Nexus Tablet to be made by LG?

We all are familiar with Nexus phone by Google, one of the rival for iPhone (4?) as to date. But recently I heard some rumor that Google will have a team up with LG to make a Nexus Tablet. What's that supposed to mean? well, another leap of technology would bring about. I expect it to me more advance than what Google Nexus S has to offer. Of course! Although I personally prefer iPhone 4 over Nexus S. I hope they will outwit the iPhone 4!

7 Proven Strategies for Improving Your Alexa Ranking

Although i have a PR3 blog. I am not satisfied with it. Why? That is because My Alexa ranking is very low. In fact when you try to look at my Alexa Ranking, it will give you "No Data". So I searched an article on how to improve Alexa Ranking and I found this site:

7 Proven Strategies for Improving Your Alexa Ranking

By Michael Fleischner | Marketing Expert | Internet Marketing Secrets*

After spending two years building my own website, I was very disappointed that my Alexa ranking was still higher than one million. Alexa ranks each website based on the number of visitors it receives. The top ranked website, Yahoo! has an Alexa rating of 1 or 2. Less popular sites could be ranked up to 5,000,000.

In order to improve my Alexa rating, I spent about three weeks combing the web to find tips, secrets, and proven strategies for increasing my Alexa ranking. Unfortunately, many of the sites offering advice didn’t even have a high ranking themselves. Finally I discovered a number of sites ranked within the top 100,000 that were all applying the same “Alexa techniques” to improve their ranking. I’ve begun implementing a number of these techniques and have improved my Alexa ranking by 250,000 spots in just one week.

Here’s what you need to know. The basis for many of these techniques is the fact that your Alexa ranking is based reach and page views. However it only counts those who visit your site and have already downloaded the Alexa toolbar. Anyone can download the toolbar for free which is automatically added to your browser and tracks the sites you’re visiting. Increasing visits from those who do not have the Alexa toolbar installed will not help your Alexa ranking.

I’ve summarized the 7 strategies that I’ve discovered and applied to my own website to increase my Alexa ranking. Apply these strategies to your own website and see your ranking climb towards the top.

1. Download the Alexa toolbar and use it every day to visit your own website. Alexa even gives you the ability to co-brand the toolbar with your own logo and give it away. You can download the toolbar here: http://pages.alexa.com/prod_serv/associatetoolbar.html

2. Use Alexa redirection whenever you can. No matter when or where you provide a link to your website, be sure to use the equivalent Alexa redirect URL. For example, when providing a link to my website, I use http://redirect.alexa.com/redirect?marketingscoop.com. If you copy this URL into your browser, it will take you to MarketingScoop.com. To use this technique, simply replace the name of my website (marketingscoop) with yours.

3. Encourage your website visitors to add their positive testimonials on Alexa’s detailed listings page for your website. This can be done by placing a link to the appropriate Alexa page on your website and asking visitors to “Click here to rate this website”.

4. Write your own site reviews on the top 100 rated Alexa sites and include your redirect URL. The top 500 domains, according to Alexa can be found at http://www.alexa.com/site/ds/top_500 When you write a review, be sure to use the redirection URL we discussed in number 2 above specifically for your website [http://redirect.alexa.com/redirect?marketingscoop.com].

5. Download the Alexa ranking button, traffic history graph, info links, and other traffic counters onto the page of your website that receives the most traffic. For example, at the bottom of my home pagehttp://www.marketingscoop.com, I’ve added the Alexa ranking box. You can do the same for your own site by visiting http://www.alexa.com/site/site_stats/signup You’ll notice that I haven’t added the traffic history graph. This is because it wouldn’t look appropriate on my home page and because Alexa is only providing detailed history on the top 100,000 sites. So if you’re not in the top 100,000, site stats would not be available.

6. Take an inexpensive advertisement out on the ExactSeek search directory for only a few dollars per month at ExactSeek.com Search engine results are directly correlated with Alexa rankings. You’ll notice that if a website is highly ranked on ExactSeek, chances are that it will be highly ranked on Alexa.

7. Get listed on as many search engines as possible by placing a free listing in DMOZ. This is the largest human edited directory on the web and is co-branded among hundreds of thousands of sites. Be patient though, it often takes up to 5 months before you see your website listed after submission. Even though it takes longer than it should, you have little say in the matter because it’s so widely used across the Internet.

These simple Alexa strategies are easy to implement and will make a huge difference in your Alexa ranking. Ultimately you want visitors to do more than visit your home page, you want them to interact with your site. Be sure to optimize your home page for SEO purposes, ease of use, and interaction. Creating a positive user experience will get visitors to return again and again.

Giant Cave Discovered In Vietnam

It is very nice to take a look at nature especially the scenes are not easily found nearby. In Vietnam, a cave named Son Doong Cave is considered one of the most biggest cave in the world. A joint British-Vietnamese team have explored the cave in April, found an underground river running through the first 2.5 kilometers of limestone ground and stalagmites that are 230 feet high. Reportedly skyscrapers could fit in to these caves of Vietnam.

I am excited to see a documentary about this on TV. Perhaps National Geographic Channel would cover this. The photo below are taken from other websites. Click the image to view the site which was the image was hosted.

It is very interesting if I could have a chance to tour the place. But it is quite impossible for me to do so unless I win a lottery. The good thing is that we have media (such as documentary) so they can share to us the beauty of this wonderful nature. Happy New Year to all!

AMCFX.net

I recently joined a site called AMCFX.net. The site is owned by a Filipino forex trader. He gives signal that I am following including the "stop loss" and the "take profit". I became a forex trader also and just recently I understood how to go over an MT4 terminal. I am not an expert of this but I guess I can do a good trading if I will only follow a good signal. Thanks for reading.
