How to Become Better at LinkBuilding
Link building is an important part of running a successful website. During the early days of the web, search engines relied on links as a way to gauge the popularity and importance of websites. Today, the major search engines have more sophisticated, and accurate, ways to decide which websites should appear at the top of the search results, but that doesn’t mean link building is not important. Many of your visitors will find your website through links, and being associated with other high quality websites is valuable for brand building and SEO. These tips will help you to learn link building techniques that work.
Build Links for The Right Reasons
Before you solicit a link from any website, think about why you want it. If the only reason you’re looking for a link is because you want to increase the number of incoming links you have, don’t waste your time. The only links you should be chasing are ones from websites that belong in your niche. A good link adds value to your site, and to the site that is linking to you. Do you really think that the other webmaster’s visitors will be interested in your content?
Give Webmasters a Reason to Link to You
Bloggers that run high quality websites get a huge number of link requests every day. If you want them to take the time to answer your questions then you need to make your request stand out. An email that simply says “please link to me” is likely to get deleted without a second thought. Before you send out a link request, think about whether you would respond to a similar request. If you wouldn’t, don’t send that email. Try to come up with a compelling reason to link to your site. Offer something of value (a discount, ebook, or infographic), because you’re getting something of value in return (a link).
Ditch Those Metrics
Traditional link building wisdom says that you shouldn’t waste your time with sites that have a poor Alexa rank, low Page Rank or low Domain Authority. In this case, traditional wisdom is wrong. Metrics are easy to manipulate, and many low quality sites have good looking metrics. In contrast, many high quality sites have poor metrics because the webmasters that run them don’t care about getting a number on a tool bar to move in the right direction. Use your own mind to judge whether you want to work with a particular website.
Be Consistent
Don’t make the mistake of going on a link building spree once every few months and building a huge number of links in a short space of time. Google may erroneously (or correctly!) identify those links as spam. Instead, try to spend a few minutes each week on link building. A steady trickle of high quality links is better for your brand and for SEO.
Treat Link Building Like Networking
Remember that there are real people behind those websites that you’re working with. Treat those people with respect. Thank them for their time if they answer your emails, even if they say no to linking to you at the moment. Become a part of the community in your niche, and you’ll find link building efforts get easier and easier.

The Rise And Fall Of Google Chrome – A Review
Google is acknowledged as the biggest search engine. In fact, it owns two more search engines, Google and YouTube. For quiet a sometime Google search was their bread and butter. No doubt they will strive to continue this business in the foreseeable future, but there is something more. According to financial results (2013), their earnings were in excess of 14 billion, one would say that they are doing quite well, but Google won’t stop here and it is pretty obvious.
Google Chromebooks
In the year 2011, Google launched its new operating system Chrome OS. It was warmly accepted by many, and the other laughed at it. It’s a fact that Chromebooks didn’t fare well in their first year, and Google didn’t expect it too. In 2012, the trend continued. People didn’t believe that a laptop had to be connected to the internet to work effectively. Despite of the fact that laptops are connected to the internet on a dedicated basis. As a result of this skepticism, Google Chromebooks accounted for just 1% of the notebook market.
Believers of Chromebooks were scorned. In the midst of this failure, something else happened like Microsoft launched Windows 8. Immediately, everyone’s attention was drawn from Chrome to Microsoft- the recent innovation. Unfortunately, Windows 8 was not heartily welcomed by the masses, and its sales lagged. In a meanwhile, Google reinvented their strategy and started offering Chromebooks on free of cost basis to both local and international students at affordable rates. No one knew exactly how Chromebooks were doing in 2013, until NPD reported that they have approximately 21% share in the notebook market. The increase in sales is stupendous and is expected to increase.
Devices (announced, not yet released) like LG all in one Chrome PC, showcases the different facets of the Operating System, and there is no doubt notebook sales will continue to rise. According to the latest report the laptops are consuming sales of Macbooks.
Chromecast- New Leap by Google Strategists
The chromebooks were not only pieces of Chrome affiliated hardware; another thing that entered in the scene was the Chromecast. It was a surprise announced by Google Chrome head Sundar Pichai. This allowed users of Android and Ios to share the content with televisions. Google always wanted to enter into a living room, and this innovation made it to do so. Needless to say, it also entered into hearts of individual.
The speculation is rife that in December this year, several new apps will be added in Chromecast line up. Further, Google promised to build their way at times to come. Now, Google wants to enter in new domain-television. We are all keen to see what benefits are in store for consumers.
If anyone didn’t know about the Chrome operating system or was unable to recognize the name of Chrome before 2013, then they probably know it now. This year has proven to be a good year for Google camp, and it is speculated that they will strive to do so in future also.
In a nutshell, technology market has undergone a paradigm shift and Google has been part of it.

The Samsung Galaxy S4—Waiting for the Latest and the Greatest Model Yet
The Samsung S4 release in a short time is one of the most anticipated and talked about cell phone releases ever. Technology enthusiasts, Samsung fans, those who enjoy portable video, and those who want a convenient and well thought out camera are all likely to be interested in the latest model in the Samsung flagship Galaxy line.
Samsung Galaxy S4
For those excited about a specific feature or who just cannot wait to get the latest model of the newest technology on the market, this much anticipated release cannot come soon enough. Waiting is never easy and when a product as touted and as advanced as the Galaxy S4 is on its way, the waiting can seem so difficult.
The Techie Stuff
The S4 is going to have some great new technology built into it that will impress those who love the technology end of cell phones. The faster CPU at 1. GHz and the 2GB of Ram are sure to impress in the world of cell phones.
The fact that the screen is bigger but the phone is lighter and thinner make this a bit of an engineering marvel, just a bit, but that is sometimes all we need to be impressed. The fact that the memory on this phone is expandable to another full 64 GB by using a MicroSD card is also impressive, the more we can store the more we have at our fingertips.
Fans of Samsung Phones
For those who want to brag about how awesome their Samsung Galaxies have been, for those who do not like the competition for one reason or another, or for those who simply got hooked when the first Galaxy was released, the latest in the Samsung line is a must have.
Sometimes it really is just about loving a product or a product line and wanting to show ones loyalty and other time it is simply having the latest in a line of products you admire and having the bragging rights that go with owning a fine product, either way this new release date cannot come fast enough.
A Movie and Video Watcher’s Dream
For those who watch a lot of video on their cell phone the 5 inch Samsung Galaxy S4 screen is a real plus. Not only is it bigger, it is also clearer and brighter. With better resolution than other cell phones and an easy to sue interface that makes watching videos a simple task, those who want a portable system that can do it all will be waiting anxiously for this phone. Don’t forget to protect your device with the full body invisible shield for Samsung Galaxy S4.
A Great Camera
A year or two ago a 13mp camera in a cell phone would seem an impossible dream. Well, dreams really do come true with the Galaxy S4. The camera has great features, snaps excellent, clear, sharp images and even takes great video. The front facing camera allows the photographer to take a picture in both directions simultaneously so that he or she can be in the picture as well.
Of course, this is more or less a picture in picture feature, but it is much better than never being in a vacation photo or family shot again simply because you are the photographer.
All in all there are many reasons that the Samsung Galaxy S4 is a highly anticipated cell phone, rightfully so as it is advanced, full of great features, and well, it is a Samsung Galxay!

Motorola Xoom 2 review
Motorola’s Xoom 2 arrives at a point where Apple’s iPad (first- or second-generation…) still dominates the tablet market. The original Xoom was the first tablet to arrive with Android Honeycomb, an OS dedicated to the tablet form. In the months since we gave it a middling review, plenty more tablets arrived, faster, thinner, and more longevous (like the Galaxy Tab 10.1).
So what now? Well, Motorola has recast its Xoom: it’s made it faster, slimmer and lighter.
They’ve beefed up the disappointing screen found on the original, it’s now a Gorilla Glass-coated IPS screen that promises 178-degree viewing angles. But Motorola has also cut more corners than the four you see before you — ones that it hopes customers won’t miss. Read more 
Archos 101 G9 review
Archos were making “tablets” before the majority of manufacturers had even considered it. It had large screen devices before the birth of the iPad and before Android even existed. Of course they were called portable media players in those days, and it was a slightly messy business involving software packs and docks.
But can experience in portable media devices give Archos the edge they need in this competitive market? Can their blend of affordability and media handling result in a package with universal appeal?
Design
Beginning with design, as we so often do, doesn’t get the G9 Archos tablet off to the strongest start. The choice of plastics reminds you that this has been designed to a price point and although there are some interesting twists, it doesn’t really manage to stand apart from other budget tablets.

HTC Jetstream review
When HTC entered the tablet game, it did so in reverse course. Where other manufacturers were jostling for elbow room in a 10-inch form factored world, the company opted for smaller, more familiar battleground, eschewing the rough-hewn Honeycomb OS for a Gingerbread-baked Sense overlay on the Flyer. Naturally, the time for that mini-slate to shine has come and gone. In its stead, we’re treated to a flagship of sorts — HTC’s first 10-incher and AT&T’s inaugural 4G LTE slate. Android 3.1 makes an appearance here, as does Sense 1.1 for tablets, but is the skinned experience really any different from the custom UX we’ve all come to love or hate on phones? Can the added Scribe pen functionality, repurposed here from its 7-inch brother, transform the Jetstream from third pillar offering to an always-on, on-the-go assistant? And will those newly hatched 700MHz speeds convince you to cough up for that weighty $700 price tag? Follow along past the break to see how it fared. Read more
HTC Vivid review
HTC’s been around this block before — the LTE one, that is. Back in March, the manufacturer was the first to hold Verizon’s hand as it tested the 4G waters with the Thunderbolt. That launch may have been fumbled (see: hotspot cycling and 3G connectivity for starters) and the device plagued by battery issues, but as far as head starts go, Big Red got a big leap. Now the time has come for AT&T to play catch-up, shedding its reliance on an HSPA+ faux-G crutch and shifting over to LTE wireless speeds.
To do this, the carrier’s enlisted HTC’s veteran expertise, taking advantage of its 700MHz know-how and offering the manufacturer a redemption song of sorts. This round two redux takes the form of the Vivid: an all-black, metal-backed unassuming plastic slab that houses a dual-core 1.2GHz processor and 8 megapixel rear camera with dual LED flash under a 4.5-inch qHD display. Impressive as its specs may be, AT&T’s not betting the entire farm on this phone and is trotting out the Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket alongside to shoulder the burden. But for a device once codenamed the Holiday, its battle for consumers’ attention and disposable dollars could prove to be anything but leisurely. Will LTE history and its battery draining missteps repeat themselves? Can AT&T get a leg up on its first place competition with this $199 device? And is the allure of “true” 4G even worth your hard-earned dollars? Follow us after the break as we find out.
HTC Radar review
Windows Phone 7 Mango is here and that means a selection of new smartphones to choose from. The new version of the OS is aimed at users who are either upgrading from the first batch of 2010 handsets, or moving over to the platform for the first time.
The HTC Radar is a pretty risk-free handset. It has not got the massive 4.7-inch screen of the HTC Titan, nor is it as small as the iPhone 4S. The question is, does the Radar have anything to offer an increasing sophisticated mobile phone audience? We’ve been using one, so let’s take a more detailed look.
Design
The Radar is designed to replace the HTC 7 Mozart and HTC 7 Trophy. It introduces a number of new features, while at the same time offering a mid-range entry point into the wonderful world of Windows Phone 7. While the Titan will impress high-end users, those early adopters that like to show off their gleaming phone at the first chance, the Radar is going to be a subtler offering, and the design reflects that.
Measuring 120 x 61.5 x 10.8mm and weighing 137 grams it is not the thinnest phone, the fattest phone, or even the sexiest phone. It comes in white and silver, or gun metal grey, and at first glance is similar in design to the company’s HTC Desire and Desire S handsets.
The 3.8-inch Super LCD screen has a resolution of 480 x 800, and it is this that occupies the majority of the phone’s front surface. You’ll find the three standard Windows Phone 7 buttons beneath it, as you will on any Windows Phone 7 device. Read more
Acer Iconia Tab A100 review
Acer’s Iconia Tab A100 has some great redeeming features in its dinky compact chassis. That said, even the cheaper price isn’t enough of an added impetus to go out and buy it.
Acer’s Iconia Tab A100: Build
Acer’s Iconia Tab A100 is one of the cheapest and dinkier tablets here, with a 7-inch screen that still does the job when watching movies or catching up with last night’s telly. An nVidia dual-core processor means the Iconia Tab is as adept as most tablets when it comes to playing games and messing around with apps. HD movies play with next to no stuttering and the built-in speakers are surprisingly loud, although they sound rather tinny on top volume.
Acer’s Iconia Tab A100: Screen
The 1024 x 600 resolution keeps images sharp, and you won’t get eye strain thanks to the comfortable brightness levels. The excellent viewing angles mean you can enjoy a movie with a fellow traveller without crushing your heads together.
Acer’s Iconia Tab A100: Features
Browsing the web is a silky smooth experience, thanks to the responsive touchscreen. Pages load almost instantly over a decent Wi-Fi connection, and Flash is supported so you can enjoy BBC iPlayer and other video streaming sites. The screen is responsive to swipe and prods, although it does gather fingerprints in seconds so make sure you keep a cloth handy.
Acer’s Iconia Tab A100: Battery
Battery life is sadly less impressive. We didn’t even get through four hours of TV before the Tab died, the worst result here. However, the light and compact body means it’s still highly portable. The 13mm body is just 405g, so you can slip it into a handbag or tiny manbag without busting its seams. We liked the curved corners and swirling pattern on the rear, a welcome break from the traditional black rectangular design.
Acer’s Iconia Tab A100: Verdict
If you need something tiny and light to carry around, and don’t mind the short battery life, the Iconia Tab is a worthy entertainment device.
Acer’s Iconia Tab A100 availability: Out now
Acer’s Iconia Tab A100 price: £259
