Need a visual way to brainstorm your ideas? Try bubbl.us, a simple yet powerful mind mapping application.

The concept is pretty basic: you write your thoughts in bubbles, which you can then connect to other bubbles, eventually creating as complex (or not) diagram as you could possibly want. It’s a great way to quickly jot down and map your ideas; and you can create as many of these as you want.

bubble-usIt’s simple, it’s quick, it’s helpful. It’s not meant to be a complex, and it’s not looking to win the most thorough mind-mapping application of the year. It’s meant for prompt, on-the-spot organization, and in this respect it passes with flying colors.

How To Avoid Trojan Malware And Internet Viruses

Trojan software programs are just one of the threats that affect Internet security, and any malicious software program can cause a wide variety of problems and weaknesses in your PC. Anti virus software programs are critical, because of the large number of Internet security threats out there on the world wide web. Some of the more serious programs can hijack your computer, access everything that is on your system, or even cause physical damage and system failures that will not allow your system to start up ever again. A new PC can be quite costly, so it is essential that you protect your system against Trojans and other Internet security threats.

The best way to avoid any malicious programs, including Trojans and viruses, is to be very careful about clicking anything. Many Trojans do not use force to enter your computer, instead they trick you into believing that the program or prompt is legitimate. Once you click the agreement or okay button, the Trojan will download, and may have the ability to download or activate other harmful programs as well. Always read the entire agreement, warning, or prompt, and think carefully before you agree. If you are not sure what a program is or does, do not allow it to run or install. This will protect you against Trojans and viruses that may cause irreparable harm to your system and your data.

Anti virus programs that are legitimate can help identify these harmful programs, many times before the Trojan can even get on your PC. It is important that these programs are updated daily, to prevent against any new threats recently identified. You also need to scan your system at least once a day for the best Internet security and computer protection. It may be necessary to scan more often if the program detects problems. Anti virus software can prevent Trojans and viruses, and increases your level of Internet security.

Use care when surfing on the web to prevent Trojans and other malware programs from gaining access to your PC. Some websites may be infected, either intentionally or without the site being aware of a third party infection, and if you visit one of these sites you may get a prompt that is misleading, or spyware may be downloaded secretly in the background, so you do not even realize it. Use caution and common sense when surfing the web. Only visit sites that you know are legitimate and infection free. This will minimize the risks of a Trojan or virus infecting your system.

To prevent viruses, Trojans, and other malicious software from causing problems on your computer, you should have Internet security programs and processes that are layered. Start by being careful to read everything before allowing a program to install or run. Make sure you have a quality anti virus program installed and updated, and that this program runs a daily scan to detect these infections. Be careful which sites you visit, because some sites can have harmful components. These steps will help you protect your system and Internet security.

Blogging and Nofollow

2009/01/09 - י"ג טבת תשס"ט

Blogging is still an excellent way to build link popularity for your website, or for your customers websites. However this method to create back links to your website is getting more and more difficult.

The difficulty here is that most blogging software now includes code which prevents some search engine bots from following the link. Some search engines will not count this link as a relevant link to your website, in fact some will completely ignore the link altogether. However some search engines will count the link, and some will even index the link.

There are many search engines but only a handful is used by the majority of people. Consideration needs to be taken for your target market and what search engine your potential customer is likely to use. Google is currently the most widely used. Understanding how each of the search engine algorithms work will determine the best method to use when it comes to adding links back to your website.

When adding a comment to a blog to create a back link that has the nofollow tag could be a waste of time. This assuming of course that the only reason for leaving this comment is to create a back link to your own website. This makes for creating back links to your website using blogs difficult.

TIP: Look for the ‘nofollow’ tag in the code if you are trying to increase your Google Page Rank!

Tips to Minimize Spam in Your Inbox

Spam is one of the worst things that is happening in the internet. In the least, it steals our time, because we need to delete them every time they come to our inbox. While spam may still be there until only God knows when, there are things that you can do to minimize the number of spam in your inbox. Here are some of them:

Use Disposable Email Addresses

Spammers usually collect email addresses by harvesting them from various online sources such as web pages, mailing list archives, etc. So if you need to post your email in public online places, don’t use your primary email address. Instead, create an email address only for that purpose and set it up to forward received emails to your primary address.
