Coding a website

As all know that coding a website need to be really strict, doesn’t matter it’s table tag in html or div tag in xhtml. You have to be careful when coding a website. However, recently I find out that many site code the sidebar first before the content. Eventually the content page load slower, and when it is slower it doesn’t help on SEO. Search engine spider run so fast, especially if your host is slower, that would double worst the SEO.
Page load
Page load from header to footer, and whenever the code is on top, it load first. So when coding site you should watch out this. Many webmaster love to code everywhere in the HTML resulting the whole HTML a mess like content of a male Zero Halliburton traveling luggage. This would definitely slow down the whole page load, not only the content itself. Some of my friends who code website asked me how, because some of them are creating 3 columns pages. It took me sometime to think about it, but I manage to get the solution though, just look at my blog, it load the content first then sidebar. However, I haven’t figure out how to code 3 columns with content in the middle :P Anyway, in order to make it load the content first is to write the content div/table tag after header, and use CSS to adjust the floating of the whole block.

Download YouTube using Safari

Sometimes it’s hard to download YouTube video, especially when Firefox 3 doesn’t run well on my Mac :? Been thinking around how to download the video beside using external web that give me the “get_video” file, there’s another way with Safari and only Safari.
Safari YouTube
Once you’re in YouTube on your favorite video, click on “Window -> Activity” there you’ll see bunch of link alike list, don’t need to read all of them, look for the biggest byte list. That’s the video file, double click it and it will open in a new window and then download started. However, it doesn’t give you the chance to rename/add .flv.

Does fake hits help?

I was questioning myself previously about fake hit on websites. After my observation recently I think it did. Trust me, fake will eventually become real on some part. I normally don’t use fake hits, after the experiment I think I would use it if there’s any chance to.
Fake hits
To be frank, I’m not so into the fake hits thingy, but this is what my knowledge (Or gut feel if you call it) tells me that:

1, Fake hits used proxy, so each proxy (IP) has their own site if not just simply an IP. If lucky, the IP contain a site, the hit will show that the hit came from the site, which normally do, there you have it, even sitemeter would count it as one unique hit.

2, All the internet is connected, so when your site’s hit getting higher, Alexa will notice it. Eventually Google will come to your site and see what can it takes from there, hence the site can have some organic hits. This work just like hitting a jackpot though, not that easy although the number is limited.

3, Online revenue. This is the point don’t it? Advertisers always look into your hits and search a little bit about your site before they place their money on your site. After all the 2 steps, they can’t resist your hit anymore and you get the money. But, cheating is NOT good!

That’s all I find out about fake hit at the moment, the site is still on testing period, let me see what would happen after a few months time ;) Wish me luck!

Personal branding and apology

First of all, I would like to say sorry, this blog was suppose to be an operating systems related blog, but it ends up to be some kind of internet related blog. Some of my friends asked me why I don’t post any tips and tricks and etc about operating systems. Well my friends, tips and tricks of ANY operating systems are now fully packed available around the internet, just Google, Yahoo!, Ask, MSN it and you’ll get tons that you couldn’t finish. To be frank, due to the paid post I’ve been writing and the keywords were all around the life, insurance, credit card and etc has gotten me here today. Let’s put it this way now, this is a blog ON operating systems, there you go, sound much more to do than sticking with operating systems only :P This blog is one of my best acne treatment, although there was some lack of update recently, but don’t worry, once I have my stuff off update will be frequent.

Done my apology and my explanation, allow me to continue the main topic :D Very quick, personal branding. I’ve been following with Fakesteve blog and Chedet (Former Malaysia Prime Minister blog) for sometimes, and they have a good branding of themselves. But I would say Fakesteve would champion all the way on personal branding. As most people know that Fakesteve isn’t the real Steve Jobs, but I don’t want to care first, doesn’t matter he is or he isn’t, the branding and getting the most out from the blog is very successful.
Fake Steve Jobs blog
This guy (Let’s say it’s someone else) has a very clear mind and understanding of Steve Jobs. Along the way, all the entries made were consistent, the pride and the arrogance are all over the blog. From the first day I clicked into this blog, it already has Google Adsense there, after a period, Amazon was in then blah blah blah, all in. And I predicted that this guy behind the blog must have something wanted to do with this blog. Look into the most recent entry, he is writing a book now, costing? Heh, don’t mention.

Now you think the book is can’t sell? First, Steve Jobs has been storming the computer industry since 2002 (As I know, correct me if I’m wrong) after the come back on 1997. “Apple Mac” became something that is so familiar few years back, then came iPhone that storming the whole mobile phone industry. If you’re still wondering what could you do to make some traffic (Read: TRAFFIC ok?) from your blog, “Steve Jobs” could be a keyword you can choose ;)
