Article: HitmanPro Can Rescue Your Computer from a Bad Virus

A friend of mine told me her computer had been hit by a virus. She took her computer to Best Buy to get it fixed. Best Buy told her they would have to wipe her hard disk clean.

A few weeks earlier, I had been hit by the horrendous MoneyPak virus that holds your computer for ransom and does not let you do a thing.

See this article for a fantastic program that rescued both our computers and might be able to save yours.

Google Search plus Your World

Google has some interesting changes you should be seeing shortly. See the article on Google Search plus Your World.

Be Happy, Healthy and Prosperous,
Andrew

- Two is not enough. You need back up. ~ Nicholas Hoult as Marcus in About A Boy

Article: Google Search plus Your World

Google is adding a new capability to search, which they call Search plus Your World.

Google is adding three new search features.

The first is Personal Results, which will include information that only you will see. This will include photos and other information you personally posted or that others shared with you.

The second is Profiles, which will let you find people and connect with them.

The third is called People and Pages which will help you find communities that you can follow.

Google will be depending on Google+ to help figure out what belongs to you. Google+ is Google's version of Facebook.

Google says they are building privacy in and you should not be nervous that others can research you more easily than ever, but I suppose they can anyway.

Google is attempting to personalize search to your local community where you spend your time. Most of the people and places you know are where you live, so your search results are going to reflect that.

Your Facebook news feed already does that.

In a way, Google is chasing Facebook.

If you do not like your unique search results, Google is providng a button you can click which will show the normal results without Your World.

See Google's blog post.

Throw out your laptop, the desk top is back

Hello Business Website Customers, Associates and Friends,

Throw out your laptop. The desk top is back. See the article No More Laptops.

Back in March 2010 I wrote to you about dominating the keywords "Israeli Partner Dancing". See the follow up article on Dominating Google.

Be Happy, Healthy and Prosperous,
Andrew

Article: No More Laptops Use Remote Desktop Control and Online Storage

Throw Out Your Laptop. The Desk Top is Back.

Free of a burdensome laptop. I love it.

I threw out my laptop and changed my mobile computing strategy to OPC (Other People's Computers) using this approach:

1. Remote desk top control software for my computer

2. Windows Live Mesh for automated, synchronized online storage of my active files

3. External hard drive for media files, archived data, offsite remote backup

Used a nice laptop for a few years. Could not have had a nicer one for me. Am so glad I am back to using desk tops.

Hated lugging that laptop around, especially at airports.

The pain in my right wrist, from the laptop mouse pad and keyboard, is subsiding after nine months.

Love the big desk top big screen, two if you like, wide full keyboard, external mouse, huge hard drive, expandable options and super fast speed.

A laptop costs twice as much for half as much. Make that three times for a third.

Have been using a remote desk top control program to get on my computer when I am away from my office.

See this list of free and pro remote desktop access control programs you can use.

Great to have access to my computer when visiting friends or business associates.

Great to be able to travel and not have to bring a laptop.

I also use Windows Live Mesh for automated real time back up storage of my active files.

The only thing I sometimes bring now is an external hard drive. The drive is so small it fits in my camera bag and I do not even feel like I have brought anything extra.

The drive has a full copy of my data, so it functions as an offsite backup of what I have at home, fast local access to my data and a place to save files, if I need to, especially photos and videos.

New and changed files, I save in a new location on the portable hard drive, so I know when I get home I have to update them.

When I use other people's computers for an extended stay, I set up my own account on their computer, with a clean desk top and short cuts to what I like to use.

I use their computer for anything I can do locally, like Internet stuff and writing documents.

I use my computer for anything I need that is on my computer, like email, Quicken and Quickbooks and software development.

Sweet.

Article: Dominating Google for Niche Keywords Partnership Dancing

In March 2010, I wrote an article about Dominating Google for the niche keyword phrase "Israeli Partner Dancing".

The point of that article, and this one, is that you can likely dominate Google's first page for a set of keywords important to your market.

More visitors to your website solves a lot of problems. If you had ten times as many visitors, you would likely have ten times as many sales.

When you get to the first page of Google, you get a lot more visitors.

To report back on searches for "Israeli Partner Dancing", seven months later, the first four results on Google are all my websites, as are nine of the twelve entries on the first page, out of 2.8 million results.

If you do an exact match search, all ten entries on the first page are mine, out of 1,800 results.

Everyone searching for Israeli Partner Dancing is going to end up at one of my websites.

That was no fluke.

I have written a book on dancing about how to dance with a partner called Partnership Dancing™.

As of today, a search for "Partnership Dancing" on Google has the first four entries and seven of the eleven entries on the first page are mine, out of 5.3 million.

An exact match search has ten of the eleven entries on the first page as mine, out of 6,680.

What do you need to do to dominate the first page of Google?

Post a lot of stuff in a lot of places. That is pretty much it. Here are some more details.

1. Google needs to understand your website content. Use Google webmasters tools to check how Google sees the keywords on your website. Make sure your important keywords are at the top.

2. Post items everywhere you can, all over the Internet, with links back to your website. The more the better. Use keywords in your linking text.

You can do this yourself. You will need to spend at least a few hours a week. There are a lot of tricks, which you will figure out if you put in the time.

Ustream Live Video, Trust, Embed Facebook Video, Ebook Marketing

Hello Business Website Customers, Associates and Friends,

A customer of mine runs an educational workshop over a number of days. This year he offered the workshop via a webcast in addition to live attendance. See the article.

Sometimes other people know best, even we you think you know best. See the article on trust.

Facebook is big. If you are on Facebook, you know. If you are not on Facebook, get on.

On Facebook, you can create a page for your business. This is a good idea. See the article.

If you find a video on Facebook that you like, you can embed that video on your website, but Facebook does not provide the embed code. See the article for how to get the embed code.

Interested in publishing an eBook or being a guest on radio. See the article contributed by Francine Silverman.

Be Happy, Healthy and Prosperous,

Andrew

Article: Live Webcast Using Ustream

A customer of mine runs an educational workshop over a number of days. This year he offered the workshop via a webcast in addition to live attendance.

One website you can use to broadcast video for free is www.Ustream.tv.

The instructions are simple and you can have your own TV channel on the web in no time.

Ustream automatically archives your broadcasts, so people can watch them later.

You will probably want to embed your live show and archived videos on your website. Embedding your live show is easy. Ustream provides an embed link which you can copy and paste into your webpage.

You can do the same for the archived video, but you have code each one by hand. If you are programmer, you can automatically extract your archived videos and display then on your website.

See this article for an example of the code.

www.programmer.bz/Home/tabid/115/asp_net_sql/225/UstreamTv-Get-Archived-Videos-for-a-User.aspx

If you are charging for your videos, you need to protect them.

Ustream lets you make your videos private, but then you need to specify which Ustream users have access to your video.

Another choice is to pay the $50 a month and customize your own Ustream channel via your website. That way you can place the security on your website and only your website visitors can get to your channel.

Article: Trust Other People

Sometimes my dad would tell me to do things. There might be some family related event or some other thing and he might say, "You don't have to go to this," or he might say, "You should do this."

Whatever it was, if he said I should do it, I would do it. I fought with my dad a lot, but never over things like this.

You cannot trust your own decision making. We are all biased and influenced by our emotions that are often not in our best interest. We tend to make decisions based on laziness, fear and avoiding uncomfortableness.

That is one of the reasons we need trainers and teachers, to challenge us and force us to do things we would not do otherwise. Get us out of our comfort zone.

A friend of mine, Rick called me up late one night to go on a sailboat from Miami to the Bahamas. They needed a fourth guy to share the expenses. I agreed, but as soon as Rick hung up the phone, I changed my mind.

I called Rick back and told him, "I'm not going. I will be throwing up for four days." Rick talked me back into going, but again, as soon as he hung up, I changed my mind again.

I am embarrassed to say, this happened at least five more times that same night and has to be the most absurd phone calls I have ever made. I did go on that trip. I did not throw up and it was one of the most memorable four days I have spent.

A couple years later, when Rick told me I should go on a camping canoe trip down the Colorado river, I went, even though I was sure I was not going to sleep for a week.

This Labor Day weekend I was responsible for the evenings' main entertainment at Mosaic Outdoor Club's International Event.

We were at a kids camp in the mountains north of Montreal. The first night I led a folk dance program for a couple of hours.

The camp fire and night hike got rained out, so I had to improvise some other dancing to keep people entertained. Most people participated, but a few sat and watched.

The last night, I was leading another dance program. Again there were some people sitting out, so I said, "I know some of you are uncomfortable about getting up and dancing."

"You have to trust me. I have done this hundreds and hundreds of times. I picked these dances for you, for people who do not dance regularly. I promise, you are going to like it."

That got them up dancing, at least a little anyway.

Sometimes you have to trust other people. You have to figure, when you have a difference of opinion, at least half the time you are wrong, and probably a lot more than that if the other person knows something you do not know.

Google Places Local Search Service Area Display Services

Hello Business Website Customers, Associates and Friends,

Got an email today from Google Places and wanted to forward the information on to you.

If you do business in your local area, registering with Google Places is one of the most important things you can do for your online
marketing. See the article.

Be Happy, Healthy and Prosperous,

Article: Google Places Local Search Service Area Display Services

If you do business in your local area and you have not already registered your business with Google places, do so now here.
www.google.com/places

Registering your address with Google will get your more business, because you will be found on more searches.

Google automatically detects where a person's computer is and gives search results for that area using the information you provide
in Google places.

If someone in Miami searches for "architect" and you registered yoru architecture business in South Florida, you have a much better
chance of getting shown than your competitor who did not bother to register with Google.

Spending 30 minutes filling out some web forms, is time well spent that will keep marketing for you indefinitely.

Google has made some enhancements to their local business search. Here are some of the features in Google's own words.

----- from Google ----
Don't have a brick-and-mortar storefront, or prefer not to give customers your home address? Show customers your Service Area.

Check out this video

Read on to Learn more.
www.google.com/support/places/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=177103

You can link directly to your restaurant's menu. Not a restaurant? Link to a list of services you offer.

To add your link, on your business's Dashboard, go to "Your business info" on the right and click "Edit." Scroll down to "Additional
Details." Add a row and type Menu in the left column. In the corresponding right column, add the link to the Menu page of your
website (not your homepage).

Check out some examples.
