Use of Content filters – this tool helps you to limit your kid’s access to age-appropriate content.

Hence, whenever, any one will be clicking on those site, he/she would not be not be able to open it.

When parental control is put in action on a PC, a notification gets displayed on the desktop. This notification states about the program or websites, which are blocked by you. So, whenever your kid would be clicking on blocked program or website, he/she would have to provide the password.

43 Web Site Mistakes You Should Avoid

There are several lists of web site mistakes around the Internet. Most of them, however, are the â??Most commonâ? or â??Top 10â? mistakes. Every time I crossed one of those lists I would think to myself: â??Come on, there must be more than 10 mistakesâ?¦â?. Then I decided to write down all the web site mistakes that would come into my head; within half an hour I had over thirty of them listed. Afterwards I did some research around the web and the list grew to 43 points.

The next step was to write a short description for each one, and the result is the collection of mistakes that you will find below. Some of the points are common sense, others are quite polemic. Most of them apply to any website though, whether we talk about a business entity or a blog. Enjoy!

1. The user must know what the site is about in seconds: attention is one the most valuable currencies on the Internet. If a visitor can not figure what your site is about in a couple of seconds, he will probably just go somewhere else. Your site must communicate why I should spend my time there, and FAST!

2. Make the content scannable: this is the Internet, not a book, so forget large blocks of text. Probably I will be visiting your site while I work on other stuff so make sure that I can scan through the entire content. Bullet points, headers, subheaders, lists. Anything that will help the reader filter what he is looking for.

3. Do not use fancy fonts that are unreadable: sure there are some fonts that will give a sophisticated look to your website. But are they readable? If your main objective is to deliver a message and get the visitors reading your stuff, then you should make the process comfortable for them.

4. Do not use tiny fonts: the previous point applies here, you want to make sure that readers are comfortable reading your content. My Firefox does have a zooming feature, but if I need to use on your website it will probably be the last time I visit it.

5. Do not open new browser windows: I used to do that on my first websites. The logic was simple, if I open new browser windows for external links the user will never leave my site. WRONG! Let the user control where he wants the links to open. There is a reason why browsers have a huge â??Backâ? button. Do not worry about sending the visitor to another website, he will get back if he wants to (even porn sites are starting to get conscious regarding this point latelyâ?¦).

6. Do not resize the userâ??s browser windows: the user should be in control of his browser. If you resize it you will risk to mess things up on his side, and what is worse you might lose your credibility in front of him.

7. Do not require a registration unless it is necessary: lets put this straight, when I browse around the Internet I want to get information, not the other way around. Do not force me to register up and leave my email address and other details unless it is absolutely necessary (i.e. unless what you offer is so good that I will bear with the registration).

8. Never subscribe the visitor for something without his consent: do not automatically subscribe a visitor to newsletters when he registers up on your site. Sending unsolicited emails around is not the best way to make friends.

9. Do not overuse Flash: apart from increasing the load time of your website, excessive usage of Flash might also annoy the visitors. Use it only if you must offer features that are not supported by static pages.

10. Do not play music: on the early years of the Internet web developers always tried to successfully integrate music into websites. Guess what, they failed miserably. Do not use music, period.

11. If you MUST play an audio file let the user start it: some situations might require an audio file. You might need to deliver a speech to the user or your guided tour might have an audio component. That is fine. Just make sure that the user is in control, let him push the â??Playâ? button as opposed to jamming the music on his face right after he enters the website.

12. Do not clutter your website with badges: first of all, badges of networks and communities make a site look very unprofessional. Even if we are talking about awards and recognition badges you should place them on the â??About Usâ? page.

13. Do not use a homepage that just launches the â??realâ? website: the smaller the number of steps required for the user to access your content, the better.

14. Make sure to include contact details: there is nothing worse than a website that has no contact details. This is not bad only for the visitors, but also for yourself. You might lose important feedback along the way.

15. Do not break the â??Backâ? button: this is a very basic principle of usability. Do not break the â??Backâ? button under any circumstance. Opening new browser windows will break it, for instance, and some Javascript links might also break them.

16. Do not use blinking text: unless your visitors are coming straight from 1996, that is.

17. Avoid complex URL structures: a simple, keyword-based URL structure will not only improve your search engine rankings, but it will also make it easier for the reader to identify the content of your pages before visiting them.

18. Use CSS over HTML tables: HTML tables were used to create page layouts. With the advent of CSS, however, there is no reason to stick to them. CSS is faster, more reliable and it offers many more features.

19. Make sure users can search the whole website: there is a reason why search engines revolutionized the Internet. You probably guessed it, because they make it very easy to find the information we are looking for. Do not neglect this on your site.

20. Avoid â??drop downâ? menus: the user should be able to see all the navigation options straight way. Using â??drop downâ? menus might confuse things and hide the information the reader was actually looking for.

21. Use text navigation: text navigation is not only faster but it is also more reliable. Some users, for instance, browse the Internet with images turned off.

22. If you are linking to PDF files disclose it: ever clicked on a link only to see your browser freezing while Acrobat Reader launches to open that (unrequested) PDF file? That is pretty annoying so make sure to explicit links pointing to PDF files so that users can handle them properly.

23. Do not confuse the visitor with many versions: avoid confusing the visitor with too many versions of your website. What bandwidth do I prefer? 56Kbps? 128Kbps? Flash or HTML? Man, just give me the content!

24. Do not blend advertising inside the content: blending advertising like Adsense units inside your content might increase your click-through rate on the short term. Over the long run, however, this will reduce your readership base. An annoyed visitor is a lost visitor.

25. Use a simple navigation structure: sometimes less is more. This rule usually applies to people and choices. Make sure that your website has a single, clear navigation structure. The last thing you want is to confuse the reader regarding where he should go to find the information he is looking for.

26. Avoid â??introsâ?: do not force the user to watch or read something before he can access to the real content. This is plain annoying, and he will stay only if what you have to offer is really unique.

27. Do not use FrontPage: this point extends to other cheap HTML editors. While they appear to make web design easier, the output will be a poorly crafted code, incompatible with different browsers and with several bugs.

28. Make sure your website is cross-browser compatible: not all browsers are created equal, and not all of them interpret CSS and other languages on the same way. Like it or not, you will need to make your website compatible with the most used browsers on the market, else you will lose readers over the long term.

29. Make sure to include anchor text on links: I confess I used to do that mistake until some time ago. It is easier to tell people to â??click hereâ?. But this is not efficient. Make sure to include a relevant anchor text on your links. It will ensure that the reader knows where he is going to if he clicks the link, and it will also create SEO benefits for the external site where the link is pointing.

30. Do not cloak links: apart from having a clear anchor text, the user must also be able to see where the link is pointing on the status bar of his browser. If you cloak your links (either because they are affiliate ones or due to other reasons) your site will lose credibility.

31. Make links visible: the visitor should be able to recognize what is clickable and what is not, easily. Make sure that your links have a contrasting color (the standard blue color is the optimal most of the times). Possibly also make them underlined.

32. Do not underline or color normal text: do not underline normal text unless absolutely necessary. Just as users need to recognize links easily, they should not get the idea that something is clickable when in reality it is not.

33. Make clicked links change color: this point is very important for the usability of your website. Clicked links that change color help the user to locate himself more easily around your site, making sure that he will not end up visiting the same pages unintentionally.

34. Do not use animated GIFs: unless you have advertising banners that require animation, avoid animated GIFs. They make a site look unprofessional and detract the attention from the content.

35. Make sure to use the ALT and TITLE attributes for images: apart from having SEO benefits the ALT and TITLE attributes for images will play an important role for blind users.

36. Do not use harsh colors: if the user is getting a headache after visiting your site for 10 consecutive minutes, you probably should pick a better color scheme. Design the color palette around your objectives (i.e. deliver a mood, let the user focus on the content, etc.).

37. Do not use pop ups: this point refers to pop ups of any kind. Even user requested pop ups are a bad idea given the increasing amount of pop blockers out there.

38. Avoid Javascript links: those links execute a small Javascript when the user clicks on them. Stay away from them since they often create problems for the user.

39. Include functional links on your footer: people are used to scrolling down to the footer of a website if they are not finding a specific information. At the very least you want to include a link to the Homepage and possibly a link to the â??Contact Usâ? page.

40. Avoid long pages: guess what, if the user needs to scroll down forever in order to read your content he will probably just skip it altogether. If that is the case with your website make it shorter and improve the navigation structure.

41. No horizontal scrolling: while some vertical scrolling is tolerable, the same can not be said about horizontal scrolling. The most used screen resolution nowadays is 1024 x 768 pixels, so make sure that your website fits inside it.

42. No spelling or grammatical mistakes: this is not a web design mistake, but it is one of the most important factors affecting the overall quality of a website. Make sure that your links and texts do not contain spelling or grammatical mistakes.

43. If you use CAPTCHA make sure the letters are readable: several sites use CAPTCHA filters as a method of reducing spam on comments or on registration forms. There is just one problem with it, most of the times the user needs to call his whole family to decipher the letters.

Unblock Filtered Sites With Two Tricks

Many work places and schools are cracking down on the web sites and online services. Blocking access to social sites has been a common tactic. The most common websites that are blocked in schools include MySpace, Bebo and Facebook.

There are however always legitimate reasons to bypass the internet filters and visit the blocked websites. The following methods will help you access blocked websites in school, college or your company.

Trick A: Using a web proxy to bypass restrictions. Proxies that focus on website browsing are called web proxies. A web proxy works by acting as a “middle man”: it downloads the requested pages to its proxy server and in turn you download the page, all images and other such objects from the proxy server to your browser, thus bypassing any filters and annoying firewalls.

Assban.com ( http://www.assban.com ) is a popular web proxy. You can search on Google for “myspace proxy” and find a great deal of other web proxies as well.

But chances are that your school administration has already blocked access to most web proxies as well. In that case, you have one more options:

Trick B: You can download Ultrasurf (http://www.ultrareach.com/company/download.htm ) and save it to a USB stick. UltraSurf is a green software, which means no installation process is needed nor system setting is required to change when using the software. UltraSurf implements almost all browser functions based on HTTP and user needs, such as browsing websites, login and posting on web forums, using Web mail, uploading and downloading data files, real time audio, video and other multimedia programs, etc.

The more people are aware of these tricks, the more likely your network administrators will catch on and find ways to shut them down. So be sure not to let others know how to do these tricks. Accessing unauthorized web sites using the above tricks may be considered a violation of school or work policies and might put you in trouble. Use them at your own risk.

Police equipment for blocking noise

Police equipment is of different types. Some are designed exclusively for helping police in discharging their duties. There is another category of police equipment that is meant to protect policemen from the risks they are exposed to while discharging these duties. The different devices that police use for blocking out noises come under this latter category of police equipment.

The cacophony created by man is increasingly polluting the environment. Rumbling trucks, screeching motorcycles, aircrafts, guns, sirens, and bulldozers, all steadily contribute to the noise pollution pool. These deafening noises are bad enough for ordinary people, but policemen are more at risk from these shrieks as their work is always outdoors. As such, various noise-blocking devices like noise canceling headphones, earmuffs, and earplugs are necessary components of police equipment.

Noise canceling headphones that block the exterior sounds are a necessity even for ordinary people. A headphone works by producing an opposing sound wave to cancel out the outside noise. The microphone inside the headphone can analyze the approaching sound waves and produce the opposing one necessary to neutralize its effect. For a policeman inside an emergency vehicle with screeching sirens, this bit of police equipment is a must to block the ambient sounds to communicate with the office clearly, or to listen to a broadcast.

Noise blocking earmuffs and earplugs are also a part of police equipment. Earmuffs will typically have a foam padded steel headband, which will ensure user comfort, as well as meet the demands of the rugged environment in which they will be used. There will also be two or more attenuation levels for an earmuff so that the device can be adjusted to block different levels of noises. The provision will also allow the user to listen in reduced volume the sounds that are necessary to be listened to, for calculated reaction. Earplugs are another form of noise blocking police equipment. Earplugs are mostly made of polyurethane foam, and plugs with or without headbands are available.

While noise prevention devices are often necessary for police even during their routine duties, under some circumstances it becomes a legally required piece of police equipment. Nowadays a form of siren amplifier known as howler is available for use in police vehicles. This produces a low frequency tone that penetrates other vehicles by its vibrations and is used in high-risk areas to warn other vehicles more effectively. The keening sound of the howler is considered damaging to the ears. As such, users are required to have appropriate noise blocking devices while handling howlers. Even though a howler has a built-in timer to prevent the user from getting continuously exposed to it, a noise blocker is essential police equipment when using a howler.

A rumbler is also a similar advanced form of siren, which necessitates the use of noise blocking police equipment. Such extra strong sirens are becoming necessary since cars are getting noise proofed and drivers are frequently using iPods or headphones. When more sophisticated duty aids reach the market, police equipment strong enough to combat its negative effects also become mandatory.

Have a Successful Blog with these Essential Building Blocks

If you want to build a successful blog, there are three main things that can certainly help you get started. Although many people think that building a successful blog is one of the easiest tasks out there, they are wrong. A successful blog takes more than just setting up a blog page to chat about your life. You need to focus on these three building blocks in order to even have the framework for a successful blog. Even these three building blocks are not enough however to make your blog successful. Read on to learn exactly what you need to make your blog as successful as possible.

The Look

The first building block for a successful blog is The Look. What this means is that your blog should start with an appropriate style. You can begin when you first start your blog. Many blogging software programs will help you out with the style of your blog. If you are using a blogging program that caters most to beginners, you will see that it will offer different templates for you to choose. There will be something for everyone. You can go through the templates to choose which colors you like best for the layout. Experiment with the layouts to see which templates look best on the computer screen. You can always go back and change the template later if you want to change the look of your blog. Make sure that if you are creating your own blog, without using a pre-created template that you make it look as professional as possible. You can even hire a professional to do the job for you if you wish. The more professional your blog looks, the more seriously your readers will take your posts.

The Content

The content of your blog is the second key building block you will need for a successful blog. While you can choose to create posts that have no direction or purpose, you will find that when you post interesting commentary or short information filled articles that your traffic will increase. Although you may think it is interesting, most readers will not enjoy reading about your day to day activities, unless you make them into humorous stories.

It should also be noted that the more content you have on your site, the more successful your site will be. It is basically a numbers game at this point. The more you post, the more chances you will have the one of your posts will attract the eye of someone searching for a related topic.

The Ads

The third building block is advertising. Bloggers can make a steady income using advertising on their blogs. The trick is to have a good mixture of ads and content however. If you fill your blog with ads and have no content for readers, they will be distracted and not visit your site again. A good rule to remember is that you should never have more than two or three ads per blog page. This is an important rule to remember. You should not overwhelm you readers with ads. You should only present them so that the readers can further explore them if they wish. Don’t use flashing ads or other bold ads that will annoy your readers. Choosing the right type of advertising program is part of it as well. Look into an easy to use program such as Google Adsense if you want a quick way to get started in the advertising arena.

The Dedication

The most important building block of a great blog is dedication. You must be willing to be dedicated to the blog. You have to put in the time and energy to get positive results. Even if you have the other three components, unless you take the time to update your posts each day, you will not be getting optimum results. Dedication can help a lot. It can hide the fact that you are a beginner and allow you to create a beautiful and functional blog. No matter how little experienced you are dedication can cover that up. You can have a great blog as long as you take the time to give some of your energy to the project.

A Tell a Friend Script to Drive More Free Traffic to Your Site!

OK, so you’re in the same predicament as many other internet marketers; how do you get more traffic to your website without it costing you the earth and which of the thousands of supposedly “free” methods out there actually work?

Let me save you some time right now and tell you what works. Have you heard of “viral marketing”? Simply put, this is a tested, proven, incredibly successful way of getting more traffic. Free. It capitalises on our human nature and tendency to want to share anything that is interesting, entertaining or incredible with someone else.

You will find that pretty much every company uses this behaviour to increase the profile and popularity of their product or internet business. Viral marketing uses a wide and broad range of methods to encourage this tendency. This might take the form of video, games, stories, anything that will capture attention.

By cleverly marketing in this way, you can massively boost your profile and your website in an incredibly cost effective way with the results far outweighing your efforts in setting up this type of marketing program. Your Internet Business will benefit hugely from viral marketing so let me right away expose to you one of the easiest, and best methods of doing so.

It is known as the “Tell-A-Friend-Script”. It is basically a programming script that you can plug in to your website, very easily and cheaply, and which allows anyone visiting your site to immediately enter in their friends email addresses and send them the link to your site, recommending that they view it! Even if the individual receiving the link does not have much interest in you, they are going to view your website on the basis of that recommendation from a friend. This works really, really well.

It also removes the danger of being treated as spam or blocked because the Tell-A-Friend-Script uses the information entered by the sender. Therefore, it effectively sneaks under the radar and this is one reason it is such powerful, simple tool.

The process can have a real exponential effect as the friends referred by the script then email their friends who email theirs and so on.

To find a “Tell A Friend Script” just google it and you will find everything you could possibly need to get going straight away.

Once you have copied the script into your web page, it is important that you are then patient, it will take a little time to start generating results but when they come they will come with a snowball effect! This viral marketing strategy is a vital piece of any marketing plan because of its ease of use, its cost effectiveness and MASSIVE RESULTS.

It’s not “THE” answer but it IS a piece of the jigsaw so, get started straight away, go and Google “tell-a-friend-script” and let me know what happens once you’re done! Good luck.

Hide Ip to Access Myspace

Today it is very important to know for Internet user that if you want to get access to a site that you cannot visit, it is because of your IP address. You should hide IP then.

Everybody knows a social website called MySpace. Millions of people go there everyday for different purposes: to have fun, meeting new friends, dealing business, getting married etc.

But the main aim of this service is to make people sociable. And I think that it is a good thing. Why someone who wants very much to meet a new friend or to have a talk with an old friend cannot get access to the source then. This source is intended to connect people all over the World, isn’t it?

Unfortunately, some countries, we may say that every country in some way, break MySpace aim up. What I mean? I mean that in every country we have rules. Everyone must obey these rules. And in the same time everyone knows that he/she are free man/woman in this country.

“The majority of these states simply require school boards or public libraries to adopt Internet use policies to prevent minors from gaining access to sexually explicit, obscene or harmful materials.”

http://www.ncsl.org/programs/lis/cip/filterlaws.htm

They said nothing about social sites :-) If they want restrict some parts of a social site they may do so, but we know for sure that they do not want to spend their time for that. That is the case.

Why should we follow some rules when our wishes are ignored? Let’s remember some periods of everybody’s life.

When we are young, we are at school. We cannot use the Internet to communicate with our friends or to meet new ones. The admin of the school blocks the access to MySpace and other social websites. We had to hide IP but we didn’t know.

BUT!!! At the lessons our teachers tell us that the Internet main purpose is to communicate through it with people who are not in your country and even far!!??

When we are at university/college, our teachers tell us the same, but the admin of a university/college blocks the access to social sites too. What does that mean? The system do not want we may talk with people from other countries because they have other rules that are different and we should not know them. We should know and understand our rules only.

When we are talking about that we have to hide IP to access blocked social websites we should understand that there is no law that can “say” that it is illegal. Otherwise, we probably may find the rule that may help us understand that no one is allowed to block any web source.

So, after a little research on the Internet I have found that many Internet users still think that if you hide IP to access MySpace you break a law. This is a wrong statement at all. We are all free in our actions on the Internet, except illegal actions that damages other users’ PCs or if we are making money on the Internet without a special allowance to do so.

In the end, I want to underline that I hide IP for MySpace accessing for 2 years and no one said me a thing because I’m sure that this is absolutely legal.

The Truth About Social Bookmarking Sites

Many people use social bookmarking sites such as Digg, Stumbleupon or Propeller on a daily basis. This technique allows them to bring floods of traffic to their sites. But what is the purpose of this traffic? Of course money. However for affiliate marketers social bookmarking(SB) isn’t the best decision. Why? I will tell you in this article.

There is one important rule: targeted traffic = sale. If your traffic is untargeted it won’t convert. In our case, SB traffic contains of people, who are surfing the Internet looking for news. They see your submission on the first page and even if they are not interested in your niche they will check it.

However each disadvantage has advantage. For example SB provides you with additional links, which will positively reflect on your rankings. If you have adsense blocks on your page, SB traffic will generate some profit. And finally, using SB my sites get indexed in Google, Yahoo and MSN in less then 24 hours.

So what is the verdict? Social Bookmarking is undoubtedly worth using as one of your link building strategies. Even if you won’t get sales, you will get good backlinks. Every time you write a new post on your blog or add content to your site, submit it to digg, stumbleupon and propeller. Those are the biggest and most popular social bookmarking sites.
