Over the years I have found that what goes around comes around. Now you are thinking what does this have to do with SEO? Well let me tell you… Many years ago there was the natural thinking of when you create a worth while web site or blog you would submit the site to a few heavy traffic web directoris. That was the extnet of the SEO - the traffic would come naturaly. During the past few years a few people started blogging about PageRank and SEO and how you need Text Links to get this PR. Well if you just submit your site / blog to a directory - you get a natural text link back to your site / blog. Blow is a partial list of Blog Directorys that are worth while. If you have any more just comment down below and i’ll make sure to update the list.

Today was a good day. Well that is until it came to figuring out my next strategy for getting some good links coming my way. My first thought was to just find some good sites that contain topics relating to my current project. I came up to one little thing getting in my way - finding the page rank quickly. I know you all are out going to tell me to write a quick API to the google page rank code bank. Problem is I’m kind of lazy today and don’t feel like messing with the translations and math of it all. I just want a quick and dirty way to check that pesky page rank. So a quick search and I find this handy dandy tool.
Use it and enjoy it’s freedom and quickness.
Comment down below on what other alternatives there may be out there.

Using Google to research some really simple things sometimes gets really hard. Take for example the hostname modification that I needed. My lapse of how to accomplish this made me resort to the king of search, Google. One thing I found was that there were way too many message board results that Google returns - and many with not really a close result that I was searching for. So let me quickly describe for all the simple way that I found for changing the hostname.
First a couple of things.
Make sure you back up the files we will be changing. I Linux every (or most) mistakes are easy to fix, so this step you might find not important.
sudo cp /etc/hosts /etc/hosts.bak && sudo cp /etc/hostname /etc/hostname.bak
With backups made you can now edit the files:
sudo nano /etc/hosts
You should see something like this:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 old hostname <- this is your prior hostname.
The next file to edit:
sudo nano /etc/hostname
Now reboot.
If everything went well you should have a working system with new names displayed.
Check to see if the hostname is resolved by typing:
sudo hostname
Well that’s it for the hostname.

Coming up with a great domain name for a new online venture has never been easy. Many of the great names are taken ( only talking about .Com’s ) and the rest of them offered for ransom for huge amounts of money. This is capitalism at it’s finest! I don’t have a problem with making a mint off a name that you though up of and had the courage to purchase. This is after all the way things go in our money driven society.
In 2003 I made such a purchase of a domain IMChat.com. The price tag was $1,888. I paid it and was happy to have made the transaction. Keep in mind that a few weeks before someone had bought the rights to this name for $9.99. Talk about profit! No more - I have from this point on made the effort to just come up with some names that have been let go to re-registration land. Some of the tools I have listed bellow have helped me in my perfect domain name search. Hope that it helps you out too. Good hunting!
