Automated blogging and duplicate content problem

Posted by mibalonthai on Jan 29 2008 | Blogging, General Web, Internet, Internet Tips, Web Technology

Automated blogging has been in the internet news since a while now and now you see a lot of automated blogs these days. These automated blogs now even top the Google Search Result Pages for some highly search keywords. I have seen some automated blogs with high Alexa Ranks and high SERP ranking. Now, the question is how Google rank these pages so well when all they have is only duplicate content.

Well, there may be some reasoning to this question. In fact, it seems like Google don’t take duplicate contents very seriously. I have even written an article about this a while ago. Duplicate content decreases your SERP ranking but not all the time. For some websites, it seems like duplicate content has not effect on their rankings. They are still ranked quite high for many search keywords and Google still site quite. Some websites which duplicates content from information sites like Wikipedia are also some of the top websites on the internet today. So, isn’t it a topic to ponder sometimes?

Small Loans and quick cash online

Posted by mibalonthai on Jan 25 2008 | Finance, Insurance, Internet, Loans

Small loans are very common these days it’s getting more and more easier to get these small loans though the online small loans providers. I have seen many small finance companies providing small loans and these companies don’t require much paper work also. They don’t even bother what kind of credit record you have got. They just want to give you the cash you want, that’s all.

So, is getting such a small loan online safe? Of course, it is. Millions of people get these small loans from online loan providers and many of these customers seem to be happy as well. They get the cash in time and that’s what makes the difference and that’s what is important to them. You can find many small financial companies that provide small loans simply by googling the term “small loans” or “quick loans”. Have a good day.

Erotic videos on Youtube – allowed?

Posted by mibalonthai on Jan 23 2008 | General Web, Internet

Well, I visit youtube everyday and I watch a lot of videos. But recently I have seen some very explicit and erotic videos being submitted on youtube and these videos are still there on youtube. I was wondering if this is allowed by Google. Allowed? Personally, I thought it was not allowed but now I am getting confused.

Anyway, there are many other video sites like youtube which festures erotic videos. In fact, these websites are made for featuring such videos and these websites attract a lot of traffic everyday. Many of them have an Alexa ranking of below 1000. But I wonder how much they are earning as I heard video streaming websites eat up a lot of bandwidth and they have to pay a huge amount for hosting.

Online shopping and credit card fraud

Posted by mibalonthai on Jan 05 2008 | Internet, Internet Tips, Online Stores, Shopping

Online shopping is very popular these days and even I have shopped many times lately from ebay and other similar auctions sites. But the problem of credit card fraud is also increasing day by day. That’s why I never use my credit card on those websites which are not very popular and which don’t have a very reputed ranking.

So, how can you find a website is reputed? Well, the way I do is simple. I have a Firefox plug-in called “search status” installed in my comp and this will show the page rank and alexa ranking of every website I visit. For me, the websites which has a good pagerank or a good alexa rank is trusted site and sites which don’t have a good ranking on both readings; I never use my credit card info. That’s it.

Submitting your sites to directory

Posted by mibalonthai on Jan 03 2008 | General Web, Internet, Internet Tips, Web Technology

When I started in the internet, I use to do a lot of odd jobs to earn some money. One of them was directory submission service and I use to have many small clients whose websites I use to submit to web directories. Well, directory submission is a very method to gain some very good amount of back links. Submitting a website into a directory is very easy but your website should not a be spammy one as some web directories have very strict rules of website approval.

But the question is, whether you should write unique description for each of your sunbmissions? Well, the answer can be varied. When I did, I use to give options to my clinets. If they pay more, I use to submit unique description for every submission, but if they pay less, I use to submit the same description for certain number of submission as agreed with the clients. I kept the system transparet and therefore my clients were mostly happy ones and they would ususally come back with more tasks for me. Anyway, hope this was a tip for those new directory submission guys out there.
