Silicon Heaven (Paraphrased by Jerrold Schiff)

Silicon Heaven (Paraphrased by Jerrold Schiff)

Ever wonder if Computers were like People, would there be a Silicon Heaven when they die?

That’s a theological stretch! Or is it?

There are five main components to a computer, each can be compared to the human body, and each could fail catastrophically.

RAM or random access memory – is like short term memory – or words on the tip of the tongue.

The Hard Drive – is more like long term memory – where you store pictures, documents and emails.

The CPU chip is like the brain and does all the thinking.

The Power Supply is like the blood of the body – without it, there is no movement, no thought.

And the Motherboard – is the body – which ties everything together and keeps communication strong.

What attacks a computer?

Electrical storms, old age, and viruses from outside sources like the internet.

Some parts – whether in us or in a computer, are replaceable.

And viruses, like bad thoughts or deeds, can be stopped or “fixed”.

So, is there a Silicon Heaven?

Maybe, and only if your computer is very very good!

Search Engine Placement - What is it - How does it work?

Search Engine Placement
The majority of companies selling "search engine marketing" promise quick results. But that goes against the very nature of advertising.

To quote Jim of Copyfax Orlando. "When you send out flyers, you can set your clock for 3 months. Sure enough, no matter when you date your sale, the calls will always come in 90 days after the flyer is mailed. Is there a reason or logic? No. As Jim said "I've been in the business over 20 years in Orlando, FL. and this is the way companies work!"

How does this affect you and your internet advertising?

Well, companies will sell you Pay Per Click. This is very expensive, and yes, to some extent it works. But, as you well know, advertising is about getting your name out in front of a customer - not once - not twice - but at least three times before they pick up a phone.

That's the technique I employ. Posting your adverts all over the internet. Linking, blogging, tweeting and advertising your company and your current sales flyer. Getting your name in front of the customer. Getting a better ranking from all the search engines (not just google, thank you).

Does this work? You bet it does. Does it take patience and time? Sadly, yes. It takes 3 months (yes, the net works just like snail mail). It works. Your rankings will slowly move up. And as people see your name over and over again, in different and varied web sites all over the net, they get familiar with your name and your product. And that's when they call.....

My technique is labor intensive. It takes time. It needs input from you. But it works! Want to test it? I did a short campaign with "May Mei Garden" - Try this: type in "Apopka Chinese Food" into google and see where this restaurant rates!!!! 2nd web site after pay per click. At a fraction of the price !!!!

If you are interested in getting listed, now is the time.
Prices have been slashed as my company is changing over from home computer repair (Computer Virus Removal) to Search Engine Placement.

Response to Orlando Sentinel "Cape for Jobs"

http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/opinion/os-ed-abortion-letters-042111-20110420,0,4356288.story


Caped crusaders are commended

Workforce Central Florida's cape crusade is brilliant. And I am shocked at the lack of business savvy the Orlando Sentinel has shown in belittling its efforts ("Super lunacy," Tuesday).

Please send Sentinel reporters to the mayor's job fairs, which are held every two months. They will see 5,000 people or more lining up, and getting turned down, for the pitifully few jobs that are paying $8 to $11 an hour. These people — many were business executives with high-paying jobs — are walking away with their hopes dashed. But they do get a free pen for talking to an overwhelmed human-resource recruiter.

I do not mean to compare a cape to a pen. Look at the total costs of initializing the cape program, the research, the computer programming on the agency's website and the publicity.

Now, think about the number of people underemployed or out of work and those who have given up or simply have run out of benefits and are not being counted. Workforce Orlando should be commended for its efforts.

10 Reasons Why People Don't Visit Your Web Site

10 Reasons Why People Don't Visit Your Web Site
Copyright © Stone Evans, The Home Biz Guy
http://www.PlugInProfitSite.com/main-29580

1. You don't offer free original content. It's important
to give your visitors information they can't find any-
where else. If you're the only source for a certain type
of information, people will flock to your web site.

2. You don't offer free software. Most people like
to find good deals on software for their computers. If
the software is free, that is even better.

3. You don't offer a free contest or sweepstakes. It's
a fact, people like to win things. If you can fulfill that
need, people will stop by to visit.

4. You don't offer a free directory. Create a directory
of web sites on a particular topic that is related to your
target audience. People will visit because they will find
what they're looking for, all in one place.

5. You don't offer a free e-zine. Most people love to
get free information that they're interested in emailed
to them on a regular basis. This saves them time and
money.

6. You don't offer a free community. People like to
have a place were they can have discussions with
others on a particular subject. You could add a chat
room or message board to your web site.

7. You don't offer a free affiliate program. One of
people's basic needs to survive is money. When you
offer them a free opportunity to make money they'll
line up to visit your web site.

8. You don't offer a free online utility. When you offer
a utility that can solve a problem, people will visit your
web site. The utility could be a free autoresponder,
e-mail account, search engine submission, etc.

9. You don't offer free current information. Supply
news stories related to your web site. People want
up-to-date news on the topics they are interested in.
They will also be interested in visiting your web site.

10. You don't offer free samples of your product
or service. Have you ever been to a store and you
jumped at the chance to get a free sample of food?
This same concept will also attract people to visit
your web site.

Definitions: What is a VIRUS a WORM or a TROJAN

Definitions:

Virus: is a self-replicating program which spreads by attaching itself to a host program. Viruses with a malicious payload cause damage to data, software or hardware.

Worm: is a program designed to replicate itself without human action. It disseminates complete copies of itself across computer networks or via email. THe worm itself may be destructive or it may do harm by consuming memory or bandwidth as it spreads, thus causing infected machines to stop responding.

Trojan Horse: is a malicious program wrapped in a benign exterior. Unlike viruses and worms, trojans do not replicate, but they can cause extensive damage to an infected system.

Remember this virus: Belt.ini Belt.inf

Update the definitions.
Run a full system scan and delete all the files detected as Adware.Binet.
Delete the keys that were added to the registry.
Delete Belt.ini and Belt.inf if found.
Delete infected .cab files if necessary.

For specific details on each of these steps, read the following instructions.

CHANGE Norton Anti Virus.
