| Posted: 09 Aug 2012 10:00 AM PDT One thing I see on the Internet quite a bit these days in the age of search engine optimization is keyword stuffing. Nothing ruins content and makes reading anything a bore more than a blog post or article full of repetitive keyword usage. Because people assume more keyword usage will attract better Google listings, this epidemic has risen to biblical proportions and it's making the Internet hard to digest. If you're writing a blog post for one of your client's sites, make sure it's at least half-way acceptable as a piece of work that might interest at least one person who actually wants to read on the subject. The line between true content and pure scheming is quite blurred. Take the noble path and don't contribute to the bad side. The Internet is like the ocean and throwing articles out there that read like robotically produced advertisements isn't appealing to anybody. Any SEO guy's main goal should be to write content worth a read. This is the natural way to acquire backlinks ensuring the Internet isn't full of complete junk and you still get your website its hits. Similar to the “green” environmental movement, adopt a “green” state of mind with the Internet and consider what you're throwing into it. Google is already starting to crack down on it but their algorithms will be a lot more efficient sooner or later and they'll be able to keep most of that crap from working at all. Not to mention, as an aside, raising the bar for SEO content can only make the SEO field a more viable area for work. To get worthy blog content out there takes more manpower and work hours. More jobs have never been a bad thing for the economy. To illustrate the correct behavior and methods to writing blog content, consider the following scenario. Let's say your website is Beck Studios. They specialize in all stage equipment including theater rigging, stage curtains, and theatrical lighting. If I were to write content for this site, the first paragraph of the article shouldn't read "If you're in the market for stage lighting, consider your options. There is a difference between theatrical lighting and theater lighting. Theatrical lighting is more professional. Also, don't forget about stage curtains. Stage curtains can make your theater experience better and if you need stage rigging check out Beck Studios because Beck Studios also offers theatrical lighting and don’t forget they have stage curtains as well so if you're looking for good theater stuff, check out a place like Beck Studios because they have the best stage lighting (including 4-bulb stage lighting, 16-bulb stage lighting, and the best 24-bulb stage lighting. They also offer velour stage curtains, plastic stage curtains, as well as my favorite, paper stage curtains." That wasn't fun for anyone to read. I know it's not possible to get keyword-rich content out there all the time but don't lower your standards this much. Have trust that if your content is good enough, it will get the attention it deserves and your site will get its customers eventually. In these ways, we can keep the Internet from being an ocean full of garbage lacking any usefulness or benefit to consumers. Your blog content and backlink methods don't have to result in Shakespearean quality of literature, but make an effort. You should be able to answer "yes" when asking yourself, “Is this blog content or article at least somewhat useful and worth any human's time?” If all Internet users comply with this simple rule, we can make sure link-stuffing and keyword manipulation is kept at bay so true consumers can use the Internet as a beneficial tool.

| Blame It On Skype’s New Privacy Bug Posted: 09 Aug 2012 05:00 AM PDT Skype has never been in a security issue or anything related to it but recently Skype has also changed its lead as users complain of bogus messages and problems with their chat history. You might have experienced something troublesome with your Skype history as well and that's not your computer playing games with you or a malware attack, its Skype's new update that has created the problem with Skype users. Recently Skype launched the new update for its service, as user's updated their current Skype versions for the newer one they started experiencing bugs and bogus messages in their lists. Skype's new privacy bug has caused certain instant messages to be sent to the wrong contact and Skype's users are new being warned against this new problem. According to Skype this problem doesn't occur all the time but only when a user's Skype client crashes during the instant messaging conference which then results in the IM sent before the crash to go to a perfectly random Skype contact once you log back into Skype so once you log back into your Skype check if any of your messages have been sent to other contacts. Skype's internal development service did not even know of this bug issue until Skype's Support received this notification from a certain Skype user. According to the Skype user SunnyLady 778, her thread was a little off-track as the messages she had already received and read were coming on her notification list again and her chat history was being copied and sent to users itself. The user was quite confused with this problem and this is when Skype's customer management department took the lead and uncovered the real problem behind this issue. Apart from SunnyLady 778, Skype has received complaints from five other individuals about their Skype IM history. They saw messages gone to other contacts and although in some cases they were just one or two statements, in many cases they were the whole conversations lists of a week or even a month. Considering the sheer volume of this problem is quite low Skype isn't rushing to fix it as soon as possible but they say that they're trying to find out the reason behind this problem and fix it soon. Although Skype is working on this issue it's still unknown when this bug will be fixed. Skype's management says that they're designing a new update for its users and that will possibly take care of this problem but again it's quite a distress for Skype users. Considering Skype is the most sought application for online conferencing and is used by individuals as well as organizations the issue needs to be fixed as fast as possible or many could face problem. Nobody wants their personal conversations to go into the hands of other users; although Skype is built for the basic task of video calling, instant messaging is also a big part of its product base. Before this issue, any problems that were related to Skype came from video calling problem and issues with voice and multi-conferencing. Skype hasn't known any bug problems or instant messaging issues till this recent update and that could lead to a problem with its reliability and validity. Although Microsoft claims that this Skype bug problem isn't very huge, it's a small rare illness and apart from six to seven users complaining about this problem there hasn't been any large scale mass complaint registration it's still beneficial for Skype user's to resort to video calling rather than instant messaging till Skype brings about the new updated version and the privacy bug is fixed.
