Bank Holiday

Today is Bank Holiday in England. Time to check my bike because it needs some repair work. Last time I replaced bearings in rear wheel. Now it seems that it is a little loose. So need to buy a 17 mm spanner on ebay and tighten it properly.

To whom SEO is important

Today I had a flash in my mind about site positioning in search engines. I think Google engineers got pretty smart how to determine site relevance to the keywords typed in.
For example, lets look at a web site ibm.com (lenovo.com). What do you think. Will it be relevant to the typed in keyword IBM. Will it be relevant to typed in keyword laptop computer. Yes of course. Now answer my question how to tell google that this is the site that must rank high for keywords IBM and laptop computer. Let's back engineer it. This site is old and has a content about laptop computer for a long time. There are many links to this site with anchor text laptop computer. It has downloadable drivers, manuals etc. The site has many internal links. The site provides support and site has something to offer like laptop computers.
This is the answer why it is ranking high for keywords IBM and laptop computer. 

Improving my room

Today I finally got good operator chair in my room. Looks and feels nice. I bought it from ebay. Found there somebody who is selling operator chairs as cheap as 30 pounds for one chair.
Next is my PC table project. This is not like design but I need a very small desk table to fit my room. I have  desk dimensions: height should be about 73 cm, width I have chosen 70 cm and depth will be 45 cm. very very small PC desk to suit a laptop, may be keyboard and monitor.
Thinking to transfer remusnet.com to another hosting. It will be BlueHost.

Hardly finding time to....

Hardly finding time to continue my Odyssey with Comptia A+ certification. Main reason is my full time job.

By the way I am looking for volunteer editor for remusnet.com.
Also looking for business partner in London to start computer repair shop. If you have any interest click here to find out more.
Today have checked CompTia A+ exam practice software from totalsem.com. I wanted to buy A+ Premium Package but found somewhere that one guy is not happy with it. I his words the test is too easy.

Getting ready for CompTia exams

Today is the Friday and I am reading the book CompTia A+ certification second time. Now it
is easier to understand everything as part of information is already remembered.  What I
still hardly remember is LCD monitor resolutions, fiber optic cable types, backup types and
which one touches archive attribute. For example there is fiber optic connectors square SC and round connector ST. Why they are named like this have no idea. And what is MT-RJ connector which is for full-duplex connections.
I though that in fiber optic must be used a laser but it turns out that in reality most of fiber optic uses LED ? and runs in multimode.
And there is two fiber optic standards 1000BaseSX and 10GBaseSR.

CompTia exam next Friday

I have decided yesterday to take CompTia Essentials exam one week later. I do not remember lot of necessary information for example about LCD screen resolutions :). Another cause
would be that when I checked the web site for exam booking there was no exams available at

Friday. So I will be prepared for next Friday.
Have made a interesting page how to increase wireless network coverage and get rid of annoying drops. Check it at remusnet.com It is  worth to try because it will help all your devices iPods, iPhones, iPads, wifi enabled mobile phones get better wireless signal.

Two days left until my Comptia A+ essential exam

I feel little overwhelmed. This is because a lot of information needs to remember and another interesting thing is about exams practice software on the computer. I have a book CompTia A+ Certification exam guide. With this book comes a DVD with a software to practice on the computer. Sadly may be because it is a demo soft all questions are repeating if you try to practice on it second time.

Plans to get CompTia A+ certification

I am planning to get CompTia A+ certification. Would like to take the first exam on Friday  the 20 th Aug 2010. The book I have to get ready for this exam is crazy long 1200 pages. Everybody who have read this book will confirm that this is really book worth the money spent and may be even more. Good for me that about 50 percent information for me is not new but some parts are really hard.

Still keeping eyes on remusnet.com and will publish unedited content because have no other choice. Hope good visual information will take focus from my horrible English :)

I will test my persistence or I hate SEO

Ok. Let's say search engines like incoming links. Then if I can get a link every days and do it for a year or so. Then it would be approx 365 links to the website per one year. Would be links counted as good links and will it increase website rankings.

Recently I have watched a few videos related to google webmaster tools. The presenter did talk lot about black hat and white hat techniques. He mentioned that google treys to cut off the content generated by black hat techniques using webmasters and let white hat technic  sites rank better. So where they left business people who concentrates on business and don't have the time to play SEO games.

Still do not have any success with remusnet.com

It is strange for me that my site does not get visitors from search engines. It has good information with pictures. There is also complete guides how to perform various computer diagnostics. I have seen websites full of affiliate links and adsense ads ranking well. Why it is like this. I just want to have my business on-line and in real world. I think it is too hard to compete against crazy site optimizations and folks from India generating gazillions of Internet pages.
