Tips and Strategy to create your own web

Before explaining about the process of making the web simple, I just wanted to convey my experience shows that the most good / powerful way to disseminate information at the moment is through print & electronic media (especially television). Effect that caused the spread of information through print media and television is far more potent compared to the internet media because readers / viewers television and print media is still far greater in number than the internet media that only 1.5 million people in Indonesia. Obviously if you are able to integrate the Internet media to electronic media and print into a harmonious blend of the impact will be enormous.

Some simple steps to build your own web of this include:

• Create a plan (blueprint) - as it was when you build something, a plan must be made. The parts of what will be built on your site.

• Understand copyright (copyright) - make sure that the material / materials used to build your website does not exist in violation of copyright. Not to take these materials without permission; unless indeed its public domain.

• Seek help - if you work at it get hard, do not be shy to seek professional help to people.

• HTML - Hyper Text Markup Language is currently the backbone of the Web on the Internet if necessary you can learn more about HTML. But with a lot of HTML editors (eg Microsoft FrontPage) is actually a very minimal knowledge of HTML, we've been able to create their own Web sites that.

• Design for your audience - in the end viewers will be the determinant of the site, the site should be designed / adjusted for the viewers that we are headed.

Blog SEO Tips: SEO Link Building

It’s time once again for a SEO Sunday special, dedicated to links, link building, tips and good practices of linking. It is a known fact that links pointing to your blog are meant to increase its value, not only in the eyes of search engines but also when it comes to authority measuring services like Technorati. Links are a great tool to increase you search engine ranking and your blog’s visibility, but only when the link building is done smart. Sometimes, people that heard about the importance of link building are willing to do whatever it takes to gather as many links to their websites and blogs as possible, and this is potentially damaging their rankings. So, before going any further, I’ll tell you some things that you should stay away from. Bad link building practices More and more link building services are promoted on forums these days. I’m sure that many of you have come across those “1000 directory links for $10″ topics. Well, some people have to make a living, and that’s not to blame, but before paying for such services you should consider a few things. Most sellers state that links are placed in directories with page rank varying from 2 to 6/7. In most cases, this is only partially true, as that page rank value is only met on the directory’s home page and not on the actual page where your link will be placed. Further more, these service provider will most likely submit your blog using the same title and description or at most with 2 small variations. Why is this bad? Because out of nowhere, 1000 links to your site, all containing the same information will pop up in search results. How does that sound? That sounds a bit like spam to me, so be careful with it. Link farms don’t work! Another thing to avoid is buying or selling links through link market websites. These websites have a bad record with Google and have been penalized since their services are seen as a threat to Google’s policy about natural, relevant backlinks. So, if you care about being in Google’s grace, search engine rankings and page rank, think twice before using them. Whenever you want to buy a link, make sure it stays between you and that website’s owner and also learn as much as you can about his website’s history and previous practices. Also, if you’re going to buy directory links, make sure you study the offer well. No serious provider will offer a good service for such a low fee. Link building through directory submissions can have positive results if managed well. Link building: Reciprocal links Reciprocal links are a common practice between start-up bloggers. These have less value than one way links but still can be very helpful under some circumstances. Reciprocal links ease the spider’s circulation and the page rank transfer when encountered between blogs that activate in the same niche, approach the same topics. Link building: One way links One way links have a stronger SEO value because they are considered more natural. Getting one way links to your blog from pages that display relevant content and also have high page rank are certain to give you a boost in search engine rankings. If we’re talking about 100% natural links, there’s basically no way that you could control where these non-reciprocal links come from. You cannot pick the page rank or the anchor text, but still, there’s one thing you can do. Write good quality posts as they are more likely to attract the interest of higher authority blogs and websites and so, pass some of their search engine trust to you. Link building: Deep linking Deep linking is one highly important factor when it comes to link building. It does not only add to the total number of link backs to your blog, but also contributes to traffic levels and increases spiders’ interest in your content, making it more likely for them to index it faster, give it more importance and check back more often to rebuild their cache. Link building without considering deep linking is meant to fail. Again, great content is one powerful tool to attract such links.

SQL Server Performance Tuning Tips for Stored Procedures

Whenever a client application needs to send Transact-SQL to SQL Server, send it in the form of a stored procedure instead of a script or embedded Transact-SQL. Stored procedures offer many benefits, including: • Reduced network traffic and latency, boosting application performance. • Stored procedure execution plans can be reused, staying cached in SQL Server's memory, reducing server overhead. • Client execution requests are more efficient. For example, if an application needs to INSERT a large binary value into an image data column not using a stored procedure, it must convert the binary value to a character string (which doubles its size), and send it to SQL Server. When SQL Server receives it, it then must convert the character value back to the binary format. This is a lot of wasted overhead. A stored procedure eliminates this issue as parameter values stay in the binary format all the way from the application to SQL Server, reducing overhead and boosting performance. • Stored procedures help promote code reuse. While this does not directly boost an application's performance, it can boost the productivity of developers by reducing the amount of code required, along with reducing debugging time. • Stored procedures can encapsulate logic. You can change stored procedure code without affecting clients (assuming you keep the parameters the same and don't remove any result sets columns). This saves developer time. • Stored procedures provide better security to your data. If you use stored procedures exclusively, you can remove direct SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE rights from the tables and force developers to use stored procedures as the method for data access. This saves DBA's time. One of the biggest advantages of using stored procedures over not using stored procedures is the ability to significantly reduce network traffic. And the more network traffic that can be reduced, the better the overall performance of your SQL Server-based applications. Here are some examples how stored procedures reduce network traffic: • When an application executes a stored procedure, only a simple, small RPC (remote procedure call) is made from the client to SQL Server. But if the application is not using stored procedures, but sending Transact-SQL code directly from the client to SQL Server, network traffic cab often very high. For example, if the amount of Transact-SQL code is 500 lines (and this would not be all that unusual), then it would take hundreds of network packets to transmit the Transact-SQL code from the client to SQL Server. On the other hand, if the 500 lines of Transact-SQL code are in a stored procedure, this code never has to travel the network, as it is already located on the server. • When an application needs to retrieve one or more rows from SQL Server and then takes some action on this data, such as INSERTing, UPDATing, or DELETing rows in the database based on the data retrieved, network traffic is significantly reduced if all this code is stored in a stored procedure. As before, it only takes a single RPC call to execute a stored procedure. But if all the code to perform these steps is not in a stored procedure, but located in the application, network traffic can be high. For example, first, the application has to send the Transact-SQL code to SQL Server (lots of potential network traffic). Then SQL Server has to return the result set back to the client, then the client has to use the data, and then send additional requests (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE) to SQL Server, and then SQL Server has to respond back to the client, and so on, until the task is completed. As you can see, this can generate a lot of network traffic. But if all the work is being done from within a stored procedure, network traffic is greatly reduced. • Along the same lines as above, putting the business logic of your application in stored procedures can help your application's performance. By locating virtually all of the processing on SQL Server, round-trip network traffic is greatly reduced, helping boost performance.
