Which goes to prove that old software do not die. They just become more and more popular as they age. Now after Microsoft stops supporting Windows XP, I can expect to see all kinds of services popping up offering third part support for Windows XP.

This is totally ridiculous, if what you say is true. Just curious. Where did you get that screenshot in your post? Perhaps you can give us a link to the Dell site which asked for the money to install Firefox.

Thank you for such a detailed explanation. I can only add this. Don't be to fixated with getting the latest 64-bit hardware. First make sure that your favourite programmes have a 64-bit version. Then find out if the 64-bit version works any better than your current 32-bit version. If not, then...

I have earned some money doing gigs on Fiverr. That was some time back. Now I am not so sure. Maybe I should give it a try again. My previous experience with Fiverr led me to a lot of long-term contracts. So it may just happen again.

The frontline soldiers of search engines, so to say, are all those millions of bots crawling the net endlessly. And mindlessly. These bots bring back all kinds of information. This information is then sorted into some kind of order at the search engines' servers. When you search for something...

Vista is a disaster, yes. Not Windows 8. I like it. On my old computer, it actually works faster than Windows 7. So what if my screen isn't touch-capable? I can still use the mouse pointer and swipe across the screen like a finger.

I use GIMP and Inkscape. Both are open source and, of course, free. However they get the job done well. That's what counts for me. I am a staunch believer in not buying the cow when I can get the milk free.

Have you considered using Dropbox? It works seamlessly. Just put all your important data in the Dropbox folder and it will get backed up in the cloud. You start off with 2 Gb free.

That's easy. Do you have a video camera handy? Plus video editing software? You do? Good. Then start shooting videos of your business activity, whatever that is. Shoot a lot more than you think you need. Then put it all together into something comprehensible. Release that on Youtube. That's your...

As far as I know, Alexa rankings are dependent on statistics gathered from site which have the Alexa bar installed. That means it does not take into account those sites which do not have the Alexa bar installed. This, in turn, means that Alexa rankings is only accurate when compared to other...

Actually, the change in the Google search algorithm is nothing surprising. It's just a way of adjusting to invalidate the innumerable tricks which people use to cheat the search bots, or so they think. From the beginning it has always been content that makes a site grow. So, yes, I create unique...

How about saying the money you want to spend on SEO and use it instead to pay for quality content? As they always say, content is king and if you have the right content, the traffic will come by itself. Don't worry about the bots. They are always busy crawling all over the place. Sort of like...

Just curious. How did you get SEO, SMO and PPC altogether in the same question? Alright, SEO and SMO are related. PPC is the odd man out.

Consider this scenario. You go into a big shopping complex. You have never been there before. So how do you find your way around? Simple. Just look for the directory of shops. This is usually placed at some highly-visible and prominent place like next to the escalators or elevators. That...

More and more traffic? That's easy. Just put more and more content that your visitors like to read. Keep a close eye on your visitor stats. Note carefully which pages your visitors are viewing. Put more content of the same type. Keep track of developments. Seriously speaking, it doesn't take...

Do you mean Wordpress as a platform or Wordpress as a free blogging service? If you mean Wordpress as a free blogging service, then I would say the advantage is that it gives you first-hand experience with Wordpress, the platform. Wordpress, the platform, is, more or less, the default blogging...

The term SEO is rather self-explanatory. First, SEO is about search engines. Whatever you do with SEO is targetted at search engines. The whole point of using SEO is to make your site attractive to search engines.

I think this is the inherent flaw with SEO. It caters to robots, all kinds of robots, with all kinds of names. So the question you should be asking yourself is whether your site is for robots or for human beings. Myself, I work on the basis of publishing content for human visitors because as far...

No, I don't buy content. However, I do use content created by other people. I have installed the Guardian News Service plugin and I can re-publish any article I want from their list, and their list is very extensive. So what's the effect? Well, I used their articles exclusively during the time...

Yes, I think you control the content you show in Facebook by limiting who can see what you show. Anyway, that's what's supposed to happen, theoretically. I read somewhere that Facebook is rather bad with privacy settings. So the best bet is never to put anything on Facebook that you wouldn't...
