Two Tips to Better Googling

Good Goggling tips for a Better Experience.

First Tip:

No Region Google


Look I am not alone when I say this. I hate that I get Regional  Google. I want to search the web and being an American most of my searches are targeted for the entire web and not ads that suit my location. 

I changed my searches over to this. What it does is give you Google without country ID. Thus you can search the web and find relevant items without a lot of Regional items.

Just by adding NCR after the .com/NCR  you will search the entire web.  This can also be accomplished through the Google tool bar.  However if you are like me.  Who wants all those tool bars?  

Second Tip:

Recording all Your Search Terms


Yes as I said every thing you have ever searched for is saved by Google  If you were logged into Gmail or Google in any form. You can also review everything you ever searched for. Hmmm maybe not a good thing.

Helpful to turn it off


Turn off your Google Web History


If you're visiting a webpage or performing a search that you don't want stored in your Google Web History:
Click the gear icon on the upper right corner of a search results page, and go to Search history.
Click the gear icon again on the upper corner of the Web History page, and go to Settings.
Click the Turn off button next to "Web History is on." To start keeping track of your web search activity again, click the Turn on button.
Sometimes you might prefer to run a few searches without recording them. Instead of turning off your Google Web History, you can simply use a private browsing mode like Google Chrome incognito mode or Firefox Private Browsing to prevent your web activities from being associated with your Google Web History.
Note: If you sign in to your Google Account in private browsing mode, your subsequent web activities are recorded in your Google Web History. Stay signed out if you don't want them to be stored.
If you'd like to sign out of Google Web History altogether, click your name or email address at the top of the page, then select Sign out from the drop-down menu. Note that you'll need to sign back in to your Google Account in order for Google Web History to begin storing your activity again.
If you sign out of your Google Account, your browser might continue to store your search history.

How to get Blog Indexed by Google


Getting a Blog Indexed by Google


Google Index


I wondered what it took to get Google to index it in the search engine. Then I wondered how long it would take Google to index it.  


Well everything I read the answer was who the hell knows.  There is no answer to that question and only Google has the answer.  So then I read about what you can do to get Google to index your site faster.  Here is a list of the things I found out.  This is good for anyone that wants to start a website or blog.  

List of things to do.


SEO (search engine optimize) optimize your site:  I used a website to ensure that my site was optimized to ensure the search engine read the site.  When I first built the site it was at 47% now I am at 100% .

Signup for Google analytic and include the code in you site

Signup for Google webmaster tools and submit a site map

Backlinks to relevant locations.  Not just back links as that can slow you down.

Social Media Google plus and Facebook drive traffic.  You should use that as you as the Author of content.

Content.  When you first get a website keep your content simple and what you write about to one particular topic.  If there is less on that topic out there then you get indexed faster.  However good content.

Internal links Search engines like that you have links to other items.  So ensure you have internal links to things.  

I did these simple things and 4 days my website was indexed by Google   So it can be done easily yet you must do things that Google likes to see.  Your content plays a very large role in getting you indexed.  

Enjoy.
Update

*** This was the second article I published and after 4 days Google indexed my site. Now I did do a few extra things that seemed to help.  I created a Facebook Fan Page.  Then I requested Google to Crawl that page.  I also did one guest blog on another site that had a very high Page Rank.  In the end it took me only 4 days to get this page and my site indexed.

Keep your Computer Running at Optimal Condition


Computer maintenance and repair while living in the Philippines.

Tim' Potter Cartoon computer


Since it seems that this will be your life line to the outside world
you need to keep this in tip top condition. 

You must do certain things to keep it up and running. I am going to attempt to give you a
few things that I feel will keep you running in optimal conditions.
Since I am windows user this will be strictly for windows users.
Everything I will list to use is free to use.

First:


DEFRAG- I would ensure you run your defrag program at least once a
month. Look at your computer like a huge library as time goes on the
books get placed in different order and on the wrong shelf. Well the
same thing happens to your computer. These files become scattered all
over the hard drive. The defrag program is located right on your
computer and it is free to use. So use it, your speed will increase
by seconds or mins depending how fragmented your hard drive is.

Second:


CCleaner- is a free program that removes temporary files from your
computer. Go to the Cleaner section and hit "ANALYZE" when complete
"RUN CLEANER". As you have been surfing the Internet your computer
downloads little pieces of information and stores them on your
computer. This will clean alot of space on the computer. Plus again
this can slow down the computer as it searches for these little pieces
of information. Now go to the Registry section and hit "SCAN FOR
ISSUES" once complete you can now select all and "FIX SELECTED
ISSUES". It will ask you to back up your entries just save this to a
location on your computer. What happens here is as you install and
uninstall programs on your computer little pieces of the program are
left behind. This will remove those chucks of data. This also should
be run once month or more often if you are installing or uninstalling
programs.

Third:


Malwarebytes- What this program does remove spyware and malware from
your computer. This is different then a virus that attacks and slows
down your computer. This is primarily used to redirect your computer
browsing to different sites. Example you ever go to google and what
you had been searching for now appears as an advertisment to the
right. Though not malware or spyware it is a tracking cooking that
tracks your moves. What the Malware or spyware will do is create
popups or redirect you automatically to these sites. Additionally this
will slow your computer. It will direct you to certain sites no
matter what you type. They are also collecting data that you type and
sending to companies. It can be potentially dangerous if some of your
information is collected and sent to these people. I recommends you
run this program at least weekly to prevent such actions. As you can
see this will slow your browsing speed down and give you bogus
information when you do a search. Additionally the potential for harm
is great. When you get this program just run a quick scan once a week
and you will be safe.

Forth:


AVG FREE- This is a virus removal program. Well is that not what I
talked about above. No not really. Virus is a catch all phrase that
includes the above but is not limited to just that. Viruses tend to
spread. They go from infected host to other drives and anything
connected to the computer. They are malicious and attack the very
fabric which makes the computer run. Yes they can do what I stated
above however these little bugs are dangerous as they will cripple
your machine. To the point it will never run again. Getting a anti
virus program that runs in the background is a safe and effective
option.

Fifth:


Make sure your firewall is on. The reason is simple it acts a buffer
to what is coming from your computer to the Internet and what is
coming from the inter net to your computer. There are people that
will exploit open systems on the Internet and attack your computer
from cyber space. This will ensure they do not do that.

Sixth: 


Automatic updates. I recommend keeping them off. Then just
update them manually. Reason is when it updates it will use as much
resources as possible to accomplish the update. It will slow your
computer down as it updates. Just do not forget to run this. It
applies alot of security patches to your computer as the hackers are
always looking to exploit your computer.


With all all that said will this make you safe. The answer is no.
However it will make you safer and will keep you running in a peak
condition.
