SEO Tip: Reciprocal Link

Wikipedia describes Reciprocal Link as

"A reciprocal link is a mutual link between two objects, commonly between two websites in order to ensure mutual traffic."

What it means is, suppose 2 websites are there (name them siteA and siteB). You link siteB in siteA and siteA in siteB.

siteA -> siteB ->siteA

So you can say the websites are reciprocally linked.

You can submit to Reciprocal Link Directories to achieve higher Page Ranks.Reciprocal linking between websites became an important part of the search engine optimization process because of PageRank Algorithm of Google,which ranks websites for relevancy dependent on the number of links that led to a particular page and the anchor text of the link.

It may be discarded by search engines so more strategic steps can be taken like Three way linking.

How to :Increase Traffic to your Blog

How could you increase the site traffic to your blog? You might list in blog directories and search engines, but yet no online traffic might ever come to your site.

Blogexplosion is like a web traffic generator and gets confirmed traffic to your blog. The principle is simple, you visit other peoples blogs and they visit yours and you increase site traffic. For every 2 blogs you visit, one visitor comes to you. This is very good if you are new blogger and want to build traffic. If you visit 10 blogs, 5 confirmed visitors will come to you. Moreover, you surf those blogs you like as per your category preferences.

What is life?

Don’t miss the life you have in the search for the one you think you want.

To quote John Lennon, “Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans.”

But perhaps Pascal said it best, “We never keep to the present. We … anticipate the future as if we found it too slow in coming and were trying to hurry it up, or we recall the past as if to stay its too rapid flight. We are so unwise that we wander about in times that do not belong to us and do not think of the only one that does; so vain that we dream of times that are not and blindly flee the only one that is… [We] think of how we are going to arrange things over which we have no control for a time we can never be sure of reaching… Thus we never actually live, but hope to live, and since we are always planning how to be happy, it is inevitable that we should never be so.”

This is a slightly revised and cleaned up version of the video that was featured on YouTube in February 2007.

I considered releasing it as an "eternal beta" in true Web 2.0 style, but decided to let it stand as is and start working on future projects. Many of my future videos will address the last 30 seconds of this video (the "rethink ..." part).

Thank you all for the helpful comments on the earlier draft. It has been a great experience to connect with so many people interested in
similar issues.

I received many more positive comments than negative about the song choice (great work Deus!), but if you are one of those who does not like the song just download the video and change the audio track to your liking.

The video was created by me (Michael Wesch), working alone from my house in St. George, Kansas. I used CamStudio for the screen captures and Sony Vegas for the panning/cropping/zooming animations. Someday I might make a video tutorial for those who are interested.

Future of Education and Learning :Personal Learning Networks

Throughout history, humans have always created our own learning networks. When we needed to know how to do something, we sought out the expert in that field and they shared their knowledge. For example, hunters knew who to talk to about the latest in hunting techniques. Farmers knew who to talk to regarding the latest in agricultural technology practices. (And students could talk to their brilliant teachers!) Now we have the Internet to access more information about whatever we need to know. However, now there is not necessarily a need anymore to find “the” expert in a field of study. Instead, we need to create our own network of experts, our own Personal Learning Network.

What is a Personal Learning Network? It is a collection of resources that you can go to when you want to learn something. This includes family and friends, teachers, and people in the local community. It can also include non-human resources, such as books, journals and other forms of media. In the 21^st century, there’s also an extensive electronic network of resources that you can – and should – include in your network. This includes resources on the Internet such as webpages, podcasts, and the electronic databases.

But it also includes human resources that are available to you via the Internet, your own personal collection of “experts” on various topics from all over the world. One way to build that collection of experts is via RSS Feeds, which allows you to subscribe to their content and have it delivered to you in your RSS Aggregator (e.g., Google Reader). Every time they produce new content, it automatically gets delivered to you, allowing you to tap their knowledge and wisdom from afar. It helps you to develop your own understanding of the world, to participate in the conversations that are going on, and to have a say in the world in which we live.

And Mashups are much more advanced tools for Combining multiple sources.

Common Knowledge

From the book What Is Your Dangerous Idea?

What will happen to common knowledge in the future? I do think our ancestors had it easy: Aside from all the juicy bits of unshared gossip and some proprietary trade secrets and the like, people all knew pretty much the same things and knew that they knew the same things. There just wasn't that much to know. Won't people be able to create and exploit illusions of common knowledge in the future, virtual worlds in which people only think they are in touch with their cyberneighbors?

New buzz and trend

The things have changed on the net , people used to ask "whats your Web2.0 startup?" now the same people are asking "where's your Facebook app?" If you want to be noticed, then hurry.

why they can't understand?

I don't understand the obsession with people wanting web pages to do everything all in the one go. It's like we're removing the need for hyperlinks and navigation. People are perfectly happy to edit the information in a new window, make their change, click the save button (which can close the opened window or takes them back to the originating page) and see their changes. The user knows what's going on as it's an obvious transition between Edit and View modes of the website. This is still a viable solution to a development problem and continues to be used today in mainstream applications like Yahoo!

Best Practices-- Date Control

While designing web pages you come across Date filed (Ex. releasing dates, stocking dates, order dates, shipping dates,birth dates,wedding dates, you name it.) many times.

I realised that there was no real consistancy with dates, in all there is about 4 different ways that a user can enter in a date. That made me think, why isn't there a standard. Surely there has to be a best practice in relation to accepting user dates.

Dates are of Two types :
1. Known Date :A known date is where the user is fully aware of the exact date, like a birth date, a start date, an expiry date. Known Dates are usually entered by the user using the a form element like a drop down box or even entering the text into a textbox.

2. Fuzzy Date :A Fuzzy Date is where the user isn't excatly sure of the date they have in mind and need prompting from the graphical interface. The date could be the first weekend in August or the Monday before the 26th of December. To properly assist the user with this type of date, Calendar functions are used and the user select the day they would like.

Natural Languages in Programming Languages

I think natural language in applications/and programs are a great idea and are a move forward from unintuitive commands that are hard to remember. They break down barriers between user and application, communication is improved both ways and users feel comfortable asking a simple question rather than working out the correct command to get their answer. However the drawback is though that even though there is more communication there could be a lot of misunderstanding and ambiguity, and vague requests will need to be interpreted and handled properly by the system.
