Defeating Google Penguin At It’s Own Game

                When you speak about the Google penguin attack to most people they think your talking about a real bird attack on humans. But if your one of those people around the web who have a website such as I then you know what this Penguin thing is. Its just the name Google gave to its latest algorithm update that not onlyhit my site but also hit many of the well know sites you and I read daily.

                So the reason for this update was to get rid of those so called over the top optimize websites that looked to get a edge in the search engines. They wanted to mimesis these sites in the form of not removing them from the index but just moving down their rankings for most of their keywords. This meant a big drop in traffic for those high authority websites and those mini niche sites that had some sort of traffic coming in.

               Mainly as I can see they hit those content sites and didn’t really hurt many of those so called authority sites. Something like this made me think for a moment and just wondering about all the millions of website that was affected which was said over 50 Million websites or more.

               To know whether or not you was affected by this awful update then I say run over to your Google Analytics and check the April 2012 month. If you see a big drop in traffic then you may have been a victim and its time to do something about getting that traffic back.

Just understand that if your site was hit it was mainly because of a number of reasons. The top reason is that your on page seo tact’s triggered the new update or the off page links you have out there are attached to a spam site which is affected your ranking.

                My solution to this is for you to follow my lead here and maybe sooner or later your be back on top gaining traffic from the world wide web..

Antonio’s Top 3 Penguin Attacks:

1. Quality Content Before On Site SEO: Don’t try to make each page seo friendly because this is the red flag for getting your search terms dropped. Its goes back to the old notion of writing for the readers and the search engine will measure the time on that page to determine how that will rank that content…”but you must have Google Analytics on your site for to be tracked”

2. Follow The Rules: Google Webmaster have rules you need to follow if you want to be incompliance with their policy. So for that reason you need to make sure to delete copied content, door way pages, stuff keywords content on pages and pages that redirect to other pages.

3. Check Backlinks Trails: Focus on high quality backlinks and stay away from those low quality forums and website directories that just hurts your ranking. You have to keep away bad links and stay up-to-date on those links you build from your seo methods. One way of doing this is by using Majestic SEO which gives you everything you need from A to Z. So if you do find someone linking to you from a low quality site then you can contact them and ask them to remove it..just that simple.

             Just understand no one have the magic pill to solve all this Penguin stuff but if you stay consistent then good things will happen. Create good high quality backlinks and keep your on page content as high quality as possible. So make today the day it all come together and you start the process of improving your seo performance.

Cabinet clears SC/ST quota in job promotions

            The Cabinet on Tuesday cleared a Bill which provides for reservation to the Scheduled Castes (SCs) and Scheduled Tribes (STs) in government job promotions. The government will introduce the Bill in Parliament on Wednesday or Thursday.

Congress's new-found ally, the Samajwadi Party had earlier lashed out at the Centre saying that while reservation of jobs for SCs/STs and OBC candidates was fine, reservations in promotions would not be such a good idea. Although the party leaders indicated that they wanted a similar provision for the OBCs in job promotions, SP leader Ram Gopal Yadav said the party still opposed the Bill.

"The Cabinet's decision is against natural justice. We will continue to oppose this amended Bill. This is a diversionary tactic of the government to divert attention from the ongoing coal blocks allocations," he said.

While sources in the government said that the Samajwadi Party leaders have been assured that OBCs will also be extended this facility in the near future, Union Minister Salman Khurshid said the Congress will try to get the party to agree to support the Bill.

"We hope that the Samajwadi Party will be on board. It was a unanimous decision. It is not a political googly. It was an honest attempt," said Khurshid.

Meanwhile, Bahujan Samaj Party leader Mayawati, who has always been in support of the Bill, welcomed the move.

"We welcome it. We struggled a lot for this. The BSP had first raised it in April in Rajya Sabha following which the Government agreed to an all-party meeting," said Mayawati.

She further requested the NDA to vote for the amended Bill. She met Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Sushma Swaraj, and requested the BJP to postpone their protests over coal blocks allocations by one day so that the House could pass the Bill.

"They should let the House function and help us in passing the Bill in the current session. UPA leaders and ministers should also talk to the Opposition to let the House function for an hour to let the Bill go through.

"In case, it does not get through, then it means that both the NDA and the UPA aren't interested," she said.

The SC/ST Quota Bill: Who stands where

- Congress, BSP and the Left are in favour of the Bill.

- Samajwadi Party, Shiv Sena oppose the Bill.

- BJP's stand yet unclear. Some leaders are in support, others refuse to comment.

Quota in promotions not legal: Attorney General

Attorney General Goolam E Vahanvati had earlier reportedly written to the Law Ministry on reservation for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes in job promotions, pointing out that the proposal is not legally possible. Sources say that Vahanvati told the Law Ministry that reservation for SCs/ STs in promotions could be struck down by the Supreme Court.

10 Reasons I Hate to go to a Movie Theater

Some people get very excited about seeing the latest movies when they hit the theaters, but I’m not one of them. Going to a theater to see a movie is not my idea of a good time. How anyone can consider going to the movies an enjoyable experience is beyond me. Here are 10 very good reasons I hate to go to a movie theater.

1. They’re filthy – Movie theaters are filthy. People spill food and beverages leaving a sticky mess. Who wants to sit in a seat covered with whatever snacks the last person sitting there was eating?
2. Uncomfortable – You can’t get more uncomfortable than movie theater seats. They’re hard and cramped with no leg room. I much prefer the comfort of the recliner in my own living room.
3. Expensive – Going to the movies is expensive. By the time you add up the cost of the tickets, the snacks and the transportation to get there and back, you’ve spent a small fortune. Why would anyone pay that much for such a rotten experience?
4. Buy snacks – The prices they charge for snacks in a movie theater is ridiculous. I can have much better snacks and beverages of my choice at home for a fraction of the cost. In the theater there’s no place to put your snacks once you get to your seat which explains why they get spilled all the time.
5. Can’t pause or rewind – When I watch a movie at home, I can pause it or rewind it whenever I want. I never have to worry about missing a good part while I’m in the restroom or getting a snack.
6. Surrounded by strangers – Why would anyone want to see a movie with a bunch of people you don’t even know? Sitting in a dark theater surrounded by strangers is very uncomfortable for me. I’d much rather enjoy a good movie with family and friends at home.
7. Rude people – Why do some people think that the company of strangers gives them license to be rude? They don’t turn their cell phones off or talk and laugh loudly when you’re trying to hear the movie.
8. People making out – Going to see a movie in a theater you will inevitably be forced to witness couples making out. These over-zealous displays of affection are totally uncalled for in a public place. I don’t need to be subjected to some couple attempting to locate each other’s tonsils with their tongues.
9. Distance – Another reason I hate going to a movie theater is the distance required. There are no movie theaters located in my neighborhood, so getting there and back is very inconvenient.
10. Disappointing movies – Most movies advertised are totally overrated. After all the time, expense and discomfort you endure to see the latest movie in a theater, you’re likely to be disappointed. Nothings worse than watching what is supposed to be a funny movie that doesn’t even make you giggle.

I’m a patient person and quite willing to wait until I can watch movies of my choosing in the comfort of my own home. By that time I’ve gotten reviews from family and friends who have already seen them so I know which ones to watch for and which ones may be a waste of time. Then if the movie turns out to be less than thrilling, I don’t have much invested in the experience, and can’t be too upset about it. I’m perfectly content to let others patronize the movie theaters. The screen on my television is big enough for me.

10 Movies That Broke Down Racial Barriers

          At its best, film-making holds a mirror up to its audience, thus providing an unblinking reflection. Much of what resonates with us in cinema tells us something about ourselves. In regard to the history of race relations, Hollywood provides a serviceable reflection of our society, insofar as progress in both seems to take hold slowly. The following are 10 movies that broke down racial barriers:

1. The Homesteader (1919) – Written and directed by Oscar Micheaux, who was the first major African-American filmmaker. Using an all-black cast to retell his story, Micheaux pioneered movie-making specifically aimed at black audiences.
2. Broken Blossoms (1919) – This film earns some credit, despite itself, for breaking down racial stereotypes and prejudice. It tells the love story between a Chinese immigrant and a white nurse. Why despite itself, you ask? Because the role of the immigrant was played by a Caucasian.
3. Bataan (1943) – As we said, progress tends to come slowly; so the breakthrough in this film is based on the stature and prominence of an African-American character in its script. Kenneth Smith, in the role of a demolitions expert, is a major step up from the usual casting given to people of color up to that point.
4. Home of the Brave (1949) – James Edwards, in the role of  paralyzed Army private Peter Moss, is the central character of the film. As an educated and sensitive character, Edwards breaks the stereotypical mold of black men on screen.
5. Carmen Jones (1954) – Though the film itself did little if anything to change racial stereotypes, Dorothy Dandridge delivered a performance in it that won her an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress in a Leading Role, a first for an African-American actress.
6. The Defiant Ones (1958) – Two chain gang members from a Southern prison – one white and one black – escape while shackled together, and must rely upon one another to avoid capture. The movie chronicles the changes in their perspectives toward one another as they elude their pursuers.
7. A Raisin in the Sun (1961) – A poor black family in Chicago receives a large insurance payment, and strives with one another about how best to use it. Through their bickering, we discover the complexities and differing perspectives between generations, individual family members and race.
8. To Kill a Mockingbird (1962) – A white lawyer defends a black man in the Deep South against false charges of rape. Racial prejudices themselves are put on trial in this film adaptation of the literary masterpiece by Harper Lee.
9. Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner (1967) – An impending interracial marriage forces the couple’s parents to each examine their prejudices and intolerance. The dialogue is intelligent, genuine and even-handed.
10. Sweet Sweetback’s Baadasssss Song (1971) – Melvin Van Peebles created an entire genre – the blaxploitation film – with this pioneering movie. Turning the establishment on its end, his assault on White America resonated with black audiences, the echoes of which can still be heard in the corporate offices of Hollywood.

10 Most Ridiculous Uses of the Internet in Movies

            If you’re a regular moviegoer and avid web surfer then you’ve probably seen your fair share of films that strain the limits of credibility where the use of the internet is concerned. Some instances may have slipped past the average viewer, but as a proclaimed techie you just had to laugh. The following are 10 of the most ridiculous uses of the internet in movies:

1. Italian Job (2003) – Resident techie cohort Lyle (Seth Green) manages to wreak havoc across the entire downtown Los Angeles traffic signal grid, and all from the comfort of his laptop. Absolutely plausible, this happens all the time.
2. FearDotCom (2002) – This pile of crap would have us believe that a website is capable of killing people just by visiting it. Then again, there’s this, so maybe there’s something to the plot after all.
3. Untraceable (2008) – We sincerely hope we’re not wrong about this, but a movie that is based on a serial killer posting live streaming videos of his victims’ murders online just doesn’t ring true for me. Not just the premise itself, but also the technological mumbo-jumbo that’s meant to make it appear feasible to the average viewer, just doesn’t hold up.
4. AntiTrust (2001) – Another of those ‘let’s just agree that the internet is all-powerful and devise a thin plot around it taking over the entire universe’ movies. Sure, we could conceivably get to a point of technological sophistication wherein the movie’s plot could have some remote credibility. But at least humor us and take the time to describe how that might take place.
5. Tron (1982) – What can you say about this one? It’s a cult classic because of the dazzling (for its time) effects, and our fascination with all things futuristic. But really, a techie getting downsized? In the 1982 economy? We don’t think so.
6. Gamer (2009) – Perhaps it’s premature to think so, but the prospect of society being reduced to one big multi-player online game just seems so, um… Well on second thought …
7. The Net (1995) – It’s difficult to imagine that super-sensitive, top secret information could be encrypted into a web page that is accessible to web users at large, regardless of the combination of keystrokes needed to access it.
8. Johnny Mnemonic (1995) – If you can get past the fact that Keanu Reeves couldn’t manage to make the role of a replacement quarterback believable, let alone this role, you still have to somehow explain another major plot hole. Why would anyone use this ‘droid as a method of data transfer – even in 1995, much less the future, when so many other more reliable (and far better acting) alternatives exist?
9. War Games (1983) – Setting the basic premise aside, that a super-power like the United States could have its entire nuclear arsenal taken over by a teenager simply by dialing into a publicly accessible modem, this movie is just so very believable.
10. Enemy of the State (1998) – For the record, we love Gene Hackman and Will Smith both, and really liked the movie. The thing is this movie just gives far too much credit to Big Brother and all of his technological capabilities. If you’re willing to allow – or openly assume – that such capabilities exist, then the movie does a better than average job in selling its message – namely, that “the only privacy left is inside your head”.
