============= How long to get indexed =================
There is No set time in for Google to initially index your site - the time taken can vary.
The time it does take may vary based upon factors such as;
* Popularity of the site (Whether it has any links to it)
* Whether the content is Crawl-able (Server Responses and Content type)
* Site structure (how pages interlink)
It is possible for a site to be crawled/indexed within 4 days to 4 weeks.
In some cases, it may take longer.
## Things to do to check/ensure that things are "optimal" for crawling/indexing ##
* Check Server responses
Pages should return 200/OK responses.
Use tools like http://oyoy.eu/page/headers/ to check the response.
* Have actual "content"
This means having content that bots/spiders can "see" and understand (text!).
If you are using purely Images, solely Flash or loading content up via JavaScript - then you are likely to encounter problems.
Remember - bots like to "read" - so ensure that you have "text" for them to read!
* Use "normal" links
Normal links are things such as <a href="/project/some_URL" title="optional"> Some Link Text </a><br /> Using JavaScript based events (no href value, instead using on.click or using select list elements with on.click functions etc.) may result in the bots not following!<br /><br /><strong> * Submit the site</strong><br /> NO - Verification is NOT the same as Submitting.<br /> To submit your site - use the URL Submittal tool <a href="http://www.google.com/addurl/?continue=/addurl" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.google.com/addurl/?continue=/addurl<br /><br /><strong> * Be discovered</strong><br /> If at all possible, have a few links to the site from other sites.<br /> These links should be from related/topical/relevant sites.<br /> These links should be from quality/trusted/popular/reliable sites.<br /> Links do seem to help - but do NOT go overboard - it only needs 1 link that is "normal" (can be seen/followed by bots).
* Verify your site
Sign up for a Google Webmaster Tools account.
This does NOT mean the same as Submitting your URL!
This MAY NOT improve the chances of getting crawled/indexed.
This can help in discovering/locating/understanding problems as/when/if they occur.
* Provide a Sitemap
This is completely Optional!
Sitemaps do NOT guarantee getting Crawled/Indexed.
Sitemaps MAY NOT increase your chances of getting crawled/indexed, nor improve the speed/rate.
## Common Problems/Causes for initial Crawling/Indexing ##
* Poor Server responses...
- The server sending Bad Responses (404/410/500 etc.),
- The server being Slow/Timing out (taking ages to acknowledge/reply to the server request),
- Having Excessive Redirect Strings (Redirect from URL A to B, to C, to D etc.),
- Using non-standard Redirects (JavaScript etc.),
...may result in the initial crawl getting stuffed.
* DomainNameServer responses...
...that fail to resolve or that have major issues can cause problems.
* Really shoddy code/markup...
...such as seriously malformed <head></head> sections etc. can cause problems.
* robots.txt ...
- being malformed,
- being incorrectly setup,
- not returning a proper response code,
...can cause crawling issues
* robots meta ...
...people may have unwittingly blocked bots, included multiple/additional robots tags and unknowingly be denying bots to ability index/follow pages.
## Additional ##
Please, before deciding that your site is Not Indexed ...
1) Be aware that information/data in the Google WebMaster Tools (GWT/GWMT) may not be "accurate".
(It is known to be out of date / out of synch in many cases)
2) To check for your site in the Search Engine Results,
a) please use the Site: operator = in Google search, in teh search box, type in site:www.yourdomain.tld or site:yourdomain.tld)
b) try doing a search for the <title> of a given page using quotes around it ( "your pages title" )
c) try doing a search for a snippet of "unique" content using quotes ( "just copy and paste a short sentence of so from one of your pages" )
3) If requesting help/assistance/information regarding your site and getting crawled/indexed - PLEASE supply relevant information.
Tell us when the site went live, whether you have actually Submitted the site, whether it is Verified, whether you supplied a Sitemap, whether you access to your Server Logs, whether you can see the GoogleBot crawling your site and what response code it gives etc. etc. etc.
====================================================
BIOS Update Procedure
BIOS Update Procedure
All latest Motherboards today, 486/ Pentium / Pentium Pro etc.,ensure that upgrades are easily obtained by incorporating the system BIOS in a FLASH Memory component. With FLASH BIOS, there is no need to replace an EPROM component. Once downloaded, the upgrade utility fits on a floppy disc allowing the user to save, verify and update the system BIOS. A hard drive or a network drive can also be used to run the newer upgrade utilities. However, memory managers can not be installed while upgrading.
Most pre-Pentium motherboards do not have a Flash BIOS. The following instructions therefore do not apply to these boards. If your motherboard does not have a Flash BIOS (EEPROM) you will need to use an EPROM programmer to re-program the BIOS chip. See your dealer for more information about this.
Please read the following instructions in full before starting a Flash BIOS upgrade:
A. Create a Bootable Floppy (in DOS)
•With a non-formatted disk, type the following:
format a:/s
•If using a formatted disk, type:
sys a:
This procedure will ensure a clean boot when you are flashing the new BIOS.
B. Download the BIOS file
•Download the correct BIOS file by clicking on the file name of the BIOS file you wish to download.
•Save the BIOS file and the Flash Utility file in the boot disk you have created. Unzip the BIOS file and the flash utility file. If you don't have an "unzip" utility, download the WinZip for Windows 95 shareware/ evaluation copy for that one time use from _www.winzip.com or _www.pkware.com. Most CD ROMs found in computer magazines, have a shareware version of WinZip on them.
•You should have extracted two files:
Flash BIOS utility eg: flash7265.exe (for example)
BIOS eg: 6152J900.bin (example)
Use the latest flash utility available unless otherwise specified (either on the BIOS update page or in the archive file). This information is usually provided.
C. Upgrade the System BIOS
During boot up, write down the old BIOS version because you will need to use it for the BIOS backup file name.
Place the bootable floppy disk containing the BIOS file and the Flash Utility in drive a, and reboot the system in MS-DOS, preferably Version 6.22
•At the A:> prompt, type the corresponding Flash BIOS utility and the BIOS file with its extension.
For example:
flash625 615j900.bin
•From the Flash Memory Writer menu, select "Y" to "Do you want to save BIOS?" if you want to save (back up) your current BIOS (strongly recommended), then type the name of your current BIOS and its extension after FILE NAME TO SAVE: eg: a:\613J900.bin
Alternatively select "N" if you don't want to save your current BIOS. Beware, though, that you won't be able to recover from a possible failure.
•Select "Y" to "Are you sure to program?"
•Wait until it displays "Message: Power Off or Reset the system"
Once the BIOS has been successfully loaded, remove the floppy disk and reboot the system. If you write to BIOS but cannot complete the procedure, do not switch off, because the computer will not be able to boo, and you will not be given another chance to flash. In this case leave your system on until you resolve the problem (flashing BIOS with old file is a possible solution, provided you've made a backup before)
Make sure the new BIOS version has been loaded properly by taking note of the BIOS identifier as the system is rebooting.
For AMI BIOS
Once the BIOS has been successfully loaded, remove the floppy disk and reboot the system holding the "END" key prior to power on until you enter CMOS setup. If you do not do this the first time booting up after upgrading the BIOS, the system will hang.
BIOS Update Tips
note:
1.Make sure never to turn off or reset your computer during the flash process. This will corrupt the BIOS data. We also recommend that you make a copy of your current BIOS on the bootable floppy so you can reflash it if you need to. (This option is not available when flashing an AMI BIOS).
2. If you have problems installing your new BIOS please check the following:
Have you done a clean boot?
In other words, did you follow the above procedure for making a bootable floppy? This ensures that when booting from "A" there are no device drivers on the diskette. Failing to do a clean boot is the most common cause for getting a "Memory Insufficient" error message when attempting to flash a BIOS.
If you have not used a bootable floppy, insure a clean boot either by
a) pressing F5 during bootup
b) by removing all device drivers on the CONFIG.SYS including the HIMEM.SYS. Do this by using the EDIT command.
Have you booted up under DOS?
Booting in Windows is another common cause for getting a "Memory Insufficient" error message when attempting to flash a BIOS. Make sure to boot up to DOS with a minimum set of drivers. Important: Booting in DOS does not mean selecting "Restart computer in MS-DOS Mode" from Windows98/95 shutdown menu or going to Prompt mode in WindowsNT, but rather following the above procedure (format a: /s and rebooting from a:\).
Have you entered the full file name of the flash utility and the BIOS plus its extension?
Do not forget that often you will need to add a drive letter (a:\) before flashing the BIOS. Example: when asked for file name of new BIOS file which is on your floppy disk, in case you're working from c:\ your will need to type a:\615j900.bin, rather than 615j900.bin only.

Spyware Info
There are a lot of PC users that know little about "Spyware", "Mal-ware", "hijackers", "Dialers" & many more. This will help you avoid pop-ups, spammers and all those baddies.
What is spy-ware?
Spy-ware is Internet jargon for Advertising Supported software (Ad-ware). It is a way for shareware authors to make money from a product, other than by selling it to the users. There are several large media companies that offer them to place banner ads in their products in exchange for a portion of the revenue from banner sales. This way, you don't have to pay for the software and the developers are still getting paid. If you find the banners annoying, there is usually an option to remove them, by paying the regular licensing fee.
Known spywares
There are thousands out there, new ones are added to the list everyday. But here are a few:
Alexa, Aureate/Radiate, BargainBuddy, ClickTillUWin, Conducent Timesink, Cydoor, Comet Cursor, eZula/KaZaa Toptext, Flashpoint/Flashtrack, Flyswat, Gator, GoHip, Hotbar, ISTbar, Lions Pride Enterprises/Blazing Logic/Trek Blue, Lop (C2Media), Mattel Brodcast, Morpheus, NewDotNet, Realplayer, Songspy, Xupiter, Web3000, WebHancer, Windows Messenger Service.

8 People Can Use The Same Msn Dial Up Account
8 People Can Use The Same Msn Dial Up Account
its easy really. want to have an entire family on dial-up with just one bill?
step one. purchase 20 dollar a month subscription to MSN unlimited access dial up. This will include an MSN 9 cd which you will need. With the software installed, fill up your secondary account slots with new users. Make sure you pick @msn if it gives you the choice, hotmail email addresses will not work..
say the secondary account is
This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
type in the Dial up connection
USER : MSN/johnsmith
PASS: ******* (whatever)
connect to your local msn phone number and the other people you gave secondary accounts to will be able to do the same, while you are connected. Its a sweet deal considering everyone is paying about 2 bucks a month for internet access, especially if you cannot get broadband. if you wanted to sell off the access to people you could actually make money doing this.. but i do not suggest it.
I used to be an msn tech and this was a little known secret even to most of the employees.
After you do this you do not need the software any more. I would suggest keeping it on to micromanage everyone else's accounts. and for the simple fact that if they don't pitch in, cut them off HEHEHE
i'm on broadband now so i dont care if i tell you my little secret. anyone else knew of this?
