Talking about Alexa ranking…

Autor admin | 19.05.2008 | Category Uncategorized

Talking about Alexa ranking is one of the crucial issues here in the web. I guess, every bloggers, advertisers, publishers, partners and some other persons who used to managed a website or blogs already knew what Alexa Ranking was. But to define the word ALEXA RANKING is a search engine that provides extra information such as traffic rankings. An Alexa ranking is an indicator used to gauge site performance. It is a tool used to determine the current traffics of a site if it is regularly visited by billions of users online. Alexa Rank is one of the basis to accept more opportunities on your websites/blogs. There are lots of ways to earn a better alexa rank but one of that is by doing your common scenarios in visiting other blogs. But of course its not new anymore too that there are some other blogs/websites there who used to avail an SEO services just to lower down their Alexa rank and eventually obtain a Page Rank for their sites.

Anyhow, if you can all noticed specially those people who used to visit by blog more often my Alexa Rank is not that quite so low but its still good compared to those other sites who do still have a higher Alexa rank and yet they still never do their part to lower it down. Maybe they but I guess, they really need to exert more extra effort for them to obtain their Alexa Rank. Keep doing your regular rounds everyone!

Increasing your internet connection speed by 20%…

Some of us may find that after installing Windows XP, the Internet connection gets slower. A possible reason for this is the QoS (Quality of Service) installed. This service reserves 20 per cent of the bandwidth for itself, even with QoS disabled. this is for broad band connections. I didn’t try it on dial up but might work for dial up.

1.make sure your logged on as actually “Administrator”. do not log on with any account that just has administrator privileges.
2. start - run - type gpedit.msc
3. expand the “local computer policy” branch
4. expand the “administrative templates” branch
5. expand the “network branch”
6. Highlight the “QoS Packet Scheduler” in left window
7. in right window double click the “limit reservable bandwidth” setting
8. on setting tab check the “enabled” item
9. where it says “Bandwidth limit %” change it to read 0 After doing this, you should immediately notice a boost in your Internet connection speed.

some need re-boot. I have one machine that needs to reboot first, the others didn’t. Don’t know why this is.

This is more of a “counter what XP does” thing. In other words, XP seems to want to reserve 20% of the bandwidth for its self. Even with QoS disabled, even when this item is disabled. So why not use it to your advantage. To demonstrate the problem with this on stand alone machines start up a big download from a server with an FTP client. Try to find a server that doesn’t max out your bandwidth. In this case you want a slow to medium speed server to demonstrate this. Let it run for a couple of minutes to get stable. The start up another download from the same server with another instance of your FTP client. You will notice that the available bandwidth is now being fought over and one of the clients download will be very slow or both will slow down when they should both be using the available bandwidth. Using this “tweak” both clients will have a fair share of the bandwidth and will not fight over the bandwidth.

Speed up Mozilla Firefox about 3-30x Faster!

Try this one people! Its worth it!…If your a firefox lover like me then you should try this.

1. Type “about:config” into the address bar and hit GO Button. Scroll
down and look for the following entries:

network.http.pipelining
network.http.proxy.pipelining
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests

Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time.
When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really
speeds up page loading.

2. Alter the entries as follows:

Set “network.http.pipelining” to “true”

Set “network.http.proxy.pipelining” to “true”

Set “network.http.pipelining.maxrequests” to some number like 30. This
means it will make 30 requests at once.

3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer.
Name it “nglayout.initialpaint.delay” and set its value to “0″.
This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it recieves.

If you’re using a broadband connection you’ll load pages 2-30 times faster now.
