How to locate someone
A long time ago, years before the Internet, I used to write to people from other countries. This people I met through a program called Pen Pal.
I would send them my mail address, name, languages I could talk and preferences about my pen pals. Then I would receive a list of names and address and I could start sending them letters.
I had a friend from South Africa who I met using this program but after some years I lost contact with her. Until one day I decided to locate her. Her name was unique so it was easy to search for that name on the Internet.
Now it is easy to locate a person using tools like this People Search tool. I tested it and I could find my friend again.
Aumento de backlinks é igual a aumento de pagerank
Finalmente, depois de meses e meses de sofrimento (virtual, claro), meu pagerank voltou. O que fez com que eu tivesse meu pagerank de volta? Bom, eu estou apostando nas seguintes ações que tomei no blog.
- Escrevi mais comentários em blogs com dofollow nos comentários. Isso aumentou a quantidade de backlinks. O mais engraçado é que de tanto falar nisso o Subsolo agora está entre os primeiros sites que aparecem nas buscas com a palavra “backlinks”. Antes mesmo de sites cujos endereços tem backlinks. Nesse momento o Subsolo está em quarto lugar nas buscas.
- Peguei os posts antigos e taquei nofllow nos links. No momento, apenas os posts de junho em diante ainda são dofollow. Estou adotando a política de colocar nofollow em posts com mais de dois meses.
- Apaguei os posts relativos a jogos online.
- Redirecionei os endereços que voltavam como erro para o site principal. Dessa forma os mecanismos de busca não encontram páginas de erro.
- Criei um sitemap e me cadastrei no webmaster tools. Assim o site é mais visitado pelos bots.
- Estou tentando postar todos os dias e coloquei uma lista enorme de lugares para enviar o ping quando tenho um post novo. Por causa disso, qualquer post que eu escrevo aparece rapidinho no Blog Search.
- O blog agora está cadastrado no Technorati, o que é ótimo pros mecanismos de busca.
Não sei se tudo isso aí fez com que meu pagerank voltasse, mas ele voltou. Até quando, só Deus sabe. Vamos esperar pra ver.
Car loans
I discovered something interesting a few years ago. While my friends were buying used cars I decided to buy a new one. The interesting part of it was that even if the car was more expensive I would spend less money with auto loans , maintenance and even taxes.
Getting a Personal Loan is something easy to do, something that we are all used to do. Getting a Car Loan is a totally different matter.
For instance we have more papers to sign and we have to pay for a long time. Anyway, I think it is a good idea to get a loan and buy a new car then to ask for Pay Day Loans and only be able to pay a small part of the car.
Right now I am pay a financing for my car and I am quite happy because I don´t spend a lot in maintenance. And I love new cars, of course.
My pagerank is back!!
Google is updating again and I just got a big surprise. I got my PR3 back. It was PR0 for so long that I thought I would never get it back.
I guess I did something right. Maybe this is a result of all the work building backlinks.
Now I am going to build backlinks for my other blogs and see what happens.
