This is a quiet often asked question and is also a easy task. Google counts .EDU links as higher ranking then normal links. There are not hardly any .edu sites that will actually link directly to your site from their static content pages.

The only way to get .edu links for free is to find forums with a .edu extension. These can be found by visiting Google and typing in ‘forums .edu’. Here you will see a list of forums on domains ending with .edu. In a forum you can edit your signature (once registered) and include a anchor text to your website.

This will give you a simple way to get .edu links for free. Quick and Easy!

Fusion Garage has redesigned, remarketed and renamed the CrunchPad to the new JooJoo tablet. The new device is a 12.1 inch widescreen, touchscreen tablet. The unit is very simple in design and very sleek and elegant, also very thin which is good for carrying it around the house and browsing. The price has also been changes from the $200 USD CrunchPad to the $499.99 JooJoo Tablet.

JooJoo Tablet

The JooJoo Tablet comes with a custom Linux Kernel which boots directly to the internet and no complicated windows systems and viruses etc. The JooJoo Tablet boots from the time you hit the power button to your browser in 9 seconds. The fastest boot time of any tablet yet. The Google Chrome OS will be set to perform in a similar way. No actual operating system, yet just a browser to get you online and surfing almost instantly, since this is where almost all of our day to day computing takes place.

The JooJoo tablet is more thin than the famous MacBook Air. All motions are completely touch screen, much like the iPhone. There are no actual buttons on the tablet. It displays full color and very good resolution picture.

JooJoo tablet comes with a Intel Atom 1GHZ Processor, 1GB Ram, and a 4GB SSD disk drive. Also it will be standard with a 802.11b/g wireless wifi.

This has been a very controversial product. Some say its ridiculous to pay $499.99 for a tablet where you can only get on the internet. Some think its a great idea to have one of these to browse the internet comfortably and easily on a touchscreen tablet.

Is the most popular professional social networking site actually a social networking site? When networking the main intention is to actually come across new people in your industry and make new connections. Does linkedin allow you to do this? Linkedin has become more of an online resume more so then a social networking site. When applying for a job today it is very common to include a link to your linkedin profile. Linkedin allows you to describe your current and previous jobs and your responsibilities at them. It also allows you to add people you know and have worked with in the present and past. This allows you to gain recommendations for that job position. Recommendations allows companies to observe that you have people that say in other words that you are great at what you do.

The problem with linked in is that there is no interactivity in the website. There is no reason to go back and check on your profile and to keep coming back and spending time on the site. They have been trying to solve this problem with groups and also with status updates. The problem is that the foundation of the site was based on the idea of your online resume and now it is very hard to get the social networking wheels spinning.

Also there should be an easier way to meet people that are in your industry. Maybe even suggested people on your profile page like Facebook does. This would allow you to start making new connections in your industry which are always a great thing to have.

So is Linkedin really a professional networking tool? Not so much as it is a online resume, even though they are trying to get there. Hopefully someone will create a more intuitive professional social networking site.

The difference between Search Engine Results Page and Content Placement is that SERP (Search Engine Results Page) the ads are actually placed in the Google search engine when someone searches for certain keywords that you have selected. Content Placement is where the ad is actually placed on other websites running Google Adsense where the content on that page is similar to the keywords that you selected.

The question is, which one is better SERP or Content Placement? I think the best choice is SERP. Reason being that people are actually searching for the content they are looking at. This along with the right keywords will actually make sales not just visits. Example in SERP if you select the keyword, “Buy a Hard Drive” in adwords, people are wanting to buy a hard drive, and if they click on you and you have good products they will obviously buy something. If it is content placement your site will come up on hard drive reviews on hard drives on which you might not carry. Not to mention corruption of Adsense users on the web that will click on links themselves etc. This will waste your CPC for that visitor.
