Get Rid of Spam Comments on Your Blog

Online Diva — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 11:59:11 +0000

Delete those spam comments as soon as you see them. Why? Because your blog could get banned by Google and it will take an actual Google engineer to re-install your blog in the search results.

A friend of mine greatly suspects that that’s what actually happened to his blog. His story was this:

He had consistently ranked in the top 10 search results for two of his target keywords. Then one day he checked his ranking and his site was no longer shown there. Not even on page 10 of the Google search results.

Now he had read before that spam comments can greatly affect the reputation of your blog. So what he did was, when he had actually thought of other ways, he deleted all spam comments on his blog. And after a day or two, when he checked his keywords again, his site was showing in the results, just like before!

So that was his conclusion, that spam comments should be deleted as soon as possible or else your blog could be banned or penalized by the big G.

Got a Whole Page Ad in your Blogs?

admin — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 05:19:00 +0000

I’ve just completed my 300 Entrecard drops for my call center blog. I did it quite fast because of the Entrecard toolbar that I have here in Mozilla. Good thing I never encountered a blogger attack site unlike last time.

But I what I wanted to share with you today is how I’m turned off by some of the blogs that have a whole page ads in it. I did not only notice a couple of them, but I remembered seeing roughly seven to ten blogs all in all (based on the list of blogs where I dropped my EC).

It just turns me off. I mean, most of the bloggers wanted to make money online. That’s fine. You can show ads on your blog because those ads can also bring in money, well and good.

But what I can’t stand is the fact that these blogs load so slow just because of those whole page ads running before the actual content does load on the page. It’s just so sad that instead of me reading your post and leaving comments on your blog, you made me leave you, my dear blogger.

I know that to each is own, you may agree or disagree, love or hate me. But I won’t visit your blogs until I know that it is your post that I will see first and not the whole page box with the X mark to close so just I can see what you have in your page. :}

Trying Out the Web Browsers

admin — Thu, 01 Jan 2009 19:50:00 +0000

For so many years I have been using Internet Explorer and the last version I used was version 7. Then in early 2007, at the office that I was working then, our I.T. department installed Mozilla Firefox. I forgot what version it was and all I remember was that I asked the I.T. guy, “What’s Firefox?”

He said it’s a web browser, just like IE and supposed to be faster. Well he’s the computer expert so I tried Firefox. And you know what? I seldom used IE ever since. I really liked Firefox, not only because it is faster in loading up websites, but because of the various add-ons available for it. The Firefox for me is more than just a browser.

Then I also tried Opera when I saw a friend of mine using it on his laptop. I also like Opera, just not as much as Firefox. Opera is fast, too and also has add-ons and I use it from time to time whenever I feel like it.

And of course, when Google released Chrome, I downloaded it. It was amazingly fast. Faster than Firefox, but I have to say that it’s look is not quite for me. I still prefer Firefox’s look and feel. More traditional, I know but that’s my comfort zone. Although I like the tab functions of Chrome and that so far it hasn’t crashed yet. I also like that I can make a Google search right on the URL field.

In conclusion, I am still a Firefox user who occasionally uses Chrome and Opera. I still have to try IE8, but maybe later when they released it from it’s beta version.

Reported Attack Site

admin — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 22:41:00 +0000

Remember what I mentioned on my last post about me loving Firefox 3? Take a look at this picture.

I’m doing my regular dropping yesterday when I saw this warning on the screen. Too bad for the blog because I wasn’t able to pay her a visit and drop my EC. But too good for me that I was given a warning and so that protected my laptop for possible technical harm.

If you haven’t tried Mozilla Firefox 3 yet, this is the best time to do so.

I So Love Firefox 3 and Entrecard Toolbar

admin — Sun, 30 Nov 2008 01:23:00 +0000

I finally said goodbye to Internet Explorer today. All because I’ve found the love of my life Mozilla Firefox 3, yey!

Well, at first I just want to download Firefox 3 because this supports the Entrecard toolbar (that I am enjoying now yeyeye!) But after I checked what’s with MF3, I was finally convinced to use this browser in my other blogging activities.

Download is a breeze. You just need to follow four simple instructions and you’re done.

What I initially like about Mozilla Firefox 3 browser:

This browser imports my saved favorite sites and passwords in their own library
You can assign tags to some sites, yes, you read it right, multiple tags for as another way for you to remember the sites
Instant integration with your anti-virus software
Website ID for easier site identity overview
Built in spell checker (no need to copy and paste text on MS Word)
Session restore (relief from unexpected closure of your search or download session)

I have yet to enjoy the rest of what’s new with Mozilla Firefox 3. But if you still have IE on your PC, why not try MF3 now? Let me know your experience with MF3 and if this is also your best alternative to online browsing.
