Run FTP Clients from Your Flash Drive
Oct 14th
Have you ever been caught in public without an FTP client? How embarrassing!
Here’s a somewhat extensive list of very useful, lite-weight, portable FTP clients. Say you’re going to school or at a public library where you’re restricted from installing any applications on the computer. With a portable FTP program installed on, let’s say your flash drive, you can run the program on whatever computer you’re plugged in to. Again, you can use any device that uses flash memory (flash drive, iPod, memory stick, etc). Download any of the programs below (I prefer Filezilla), run the file, and use your flash memory as the install location. Cheers.

Domain Extensions and TLD’s – SEO Preference?
Feb 17th
I can’t even count how many times this issue has come up on DigitalPoint, SEOchat, and various other forums and blogs. “Does a domain’s extension or TLD carry any weight by search engines? Do they have a preference?”.
The answer: NO!
Why? If you think that Google or any other search engine would value a site higher simply because of the domain’s extension, then you need rethink how the internet works and what search engines like Google are suppose to do.
Google has a job, and that job is to provide its searchers the most relative and appropriate results for a certain keyword phrase. If your site has more quality content than all the other sites competing with you, you will naturally and organically rank higher than them (assuming no one is doing anything to screw the results).
Your domain’s extension has absolutely no relevance to its keyword position. As long as your site provides quality content exceeding all other site’s competing with you, your link building will take care of itself and your keyword rankings will climb higher and higher as your site builds more authority.
