Computer Game Buying Tips

Computer games are generally for an entertainment value, and can also be educational. Below we have listed several considerations to look at when buying a computer game.

Considerations

Demo
Today, a large majority of computer games that are released are also released as a demo and are available through computer game magazines or off of the Internet. If you are purchasing the game for yourself and have not seen or played the game, you may consider playing the demo (if available) before purchasing the game. The demo is generally found from the developer's web site.

Mass multiplayer
Mass Multiplayer games are generally an excellent choice for any advanced or new game player. These games generally are games where the player joins thousands, sometimes millions, of other players from all over the planet and build up their character, fight creatures, develop skills, fight other players, talk, and much more. While these games are generally fun and can be played sometimes for years, they do generally require a small monthly fee. This fee can be anywhere from $10.00 to $20.00 a month and help to maintain the servers, help with updates and maintain your account.
These games are also only available when connecting to the Internet and do not offer a single player option.

Multiplayer
Multiplayer is similar to Mass Multiplayer; however, these games allow the players to play with a few players (2 - 20 players generally). These are still fun and excellent games, and are generally games where you must either shoot and frag other players, or develop an online character by fighting creatures.
Unlike the Mass Multiplayer games, these games are quick and do not require hundreds of hours of game play and can generally be played as Multiplayer or Single Player.

Piracy
Piracy, unfortunately, is very commonplace in the computer gaming industry and Computer Hope highly recommends that it not be considered. While it has been easy in the past, gaming piracy has become more difficult. Users who pirate games may be forfeiting the ability to play with their friends online, not be able to receive updates for the games, and more importantly are not supporting the company of the game.
Users who let their friends pirate their games may also be forfeiting the same above rights. If you share your serial or ID number with a friend you may be giving up your right to play on-line as your number will likely become invalid.

Rating
The ESRB rating of a game determines how violent the game is; below is a listing of several of the ratings found on the majority of all games today. See our ESRB dictionary definition for additional information on ESRB and a listing of each of the ratings.

Type
There are several types of games. These games can vary from first person shooter to sports. Visit our game page for a listing of computer games and game types as well as a description on each of the game types.

Upgrade
When purchasing a software game, ensure that it is not an upgrade to an early version of the game. Many of the available updates will require that the previous version of the software be already installed on the computer.

Of course, everybody wants to get his site on first list in search engine result to be visited by millions of users, to be assaulted with ad proposals and to receive thousands dollars.

You know, the truth hurts, but this is almost impossible. You can have your site listed on Google and Yahoo search, but you cannot expect it to represent a big hit on the Internet market.

Yahoo or Google (or, if you prefer, Google and Yahoo) represent two of the most popular search engines on the internet so the smartest choice is to register your site to be listed by these two companies.

Before you making decision, you must know that there are some difference between Yahoo and Google that can affect your website position in their search result.

Yahoo have a priority that's the number of backlinks a website possesses. So, it could be very smart to talk to your friend to give some backlink to your site on their webpages, enough to be placed on top in Yahoo's ranks.

Google is different from Yahoo, Google checks and analyzes the links for their quality, so it's very important to verify your content before publishing it and apply some SEO techniques over the files.

How to make different keywords for Blogger post

In this articles you will learn how to make dynamic keyword or different keywords for each blogger - blogspot.com post. Meta keywords are very important to do better SEO for your blog. And you should know that Search engines look for different description and keywords for each page of your site. If you put the same thing across all pages of your site, search engines may regard this as spam.

To edit your Blogspot template
1.Go to Layout > Edit HTML > Check 'Expand Widget Templates', and don't forget to save a backup before you do anything..
2.Don't forget to remove those comments.
3.Replace those Static Blog meta tags content with the code in this post.





So instead of using "data:blog.pageTitle" you use "data:blog.pageName".

But as far as I see at the very brief Blogger documentation. This is the only way to use labels as meta keywords..
Enough talking.. Here is the code to do it.. which you should place instead of the Head tag..!
The Code is commented and it also outputs the Title and Meta Description tags(using Post title) for your convenience.





Some Issues you should be aware of:

1. Removes all
tag from both codes above. I'm too lazy to do it now :D

2. After Adding that code , you will get errors when trying to do anything in the 'Page elements' and clicking save. the Only solution is cut Block1 from the template & save, do what you need in 'page elements' & save. paste Block1 back in the template.
It is the only way, until Blogger.com pay attention to the issue!

3. Some Meta tags analyzers will warn you that they don't see meta keywords (Cause it was outside of the head).. But Most search engines would be able to find your meta keywords..
As you can see that's why I'm separating the code into 2 blocks:
first one outside the Head tag to output Post Meta keywrds.
Second one inside the Head Tag to output Title and meta description of all pages and meta keywords for index page; without the need of a widget. And in case an engine didn't like those meta keywords, you still have the title and description where they should be.

4. XHTML validation will give your warnings about these issues :
Meta Keywords tag Appears before the Head tag.
Why we have to put that code before the head tag? you have to ask ):
well.. You can't place a widget outside of a section, you can't place a section inside head tag. and Post lables must be called inside of 'Blog' widget.
Meta Keywords will be surrounded with Div tags which should not appear there.
why? Cause Widget and sections Tags are auto. converted to div tags by Blogger..!



Good Luck

1. Use a Joint Venture to Jumpstart your Sales - Maybe you have a product but are new to the internet and don't have a list. You are interested in increasing your web site traffic and building your credibility to increase your sales. No problem, what you need to do is find someone in your niche market that has an established web site and a list of customers.

Use the search engines and references from other site owners to locate someone that might be interested in recommending your product to their customer list in return for a share of the profits. You need to make this a win-win situation for them. Understand that you are the one needing help, not them.

So when you approach them have the attitude of how this venture can benefit them and not you. Tell them that you think your product would be a valuable benefit for their customers. Give them a FREE copy of your e-book or your product to let them see for themselves. Make sure that you provide all of the marketing materials they will need, like ezine ads, articles, text links, and banners.

Most importantly, make it worth their time by giving them a minimum of 50% of the profits for utilizing their list. You need to understand that their list is the heart and soul of their business and that they will only recommend products to their customers that they feel will benefit them. As a list owner you can not afford to risk your reputation on low quality products. A joint venture is a great way to jumpstart your sales and will lead to more profitable joint ventures in the future!

2. Give Something Away to Profit in the Future - One of the best ways to secure huge amounts of profits is to give something away to your web site visitors.

This does two things, the first, it is a great way to get their trust and secondly, by giving them a taste of what you have to offer many of them will end up buying the whole meal. A great technique to use, especially if you have an information product like an e-book, is to give away a free report or mini-course related to the topic of your information product.

This will allow you to get their email address so you can send them follow up emails promoting your product, or other people's products like in example 1. You are also building a list of people that have an interest in your niche market. If they like your material they will come back for more!

So give away a free email report or mini-course, you can even put links to your products or affiliate products in the free report, so it becomes an income stream. If you will give away something to get their interests peaked and their trust heightened it will lead to greater sales in the near future.

3. Market Someone Else's Product - If you have your own web site, or even if you don't, you can find an affiliate product that is relevant to your market and sell it for a commission. Many of these affiliate programs pay as much as a 75% commission on sales.

Here is an easy tactic you can use to sell your affiliate product. If you have your own site then put a text link in a highly visible area on your website. The middle of the page, top right, or bottom right seem to be prime web site real estate.

Make sure to use a text ads instead of a banner, they convert better! When you write your text, do so in the form of a recommendation for the product. This technique usually works the best because the people that come to your website consider you an expert on your market.

Monetizing your website

While you can monetize your website and capture leads at the same time, I find it better to optimize for one goal instead of trying to achieve both. Because when it comes to monetization, captured leads are usually a good source for long term income.

There are formats for each goal (monetize or lead capture) and you’ll get better results if you either choose to monetize fully or go all out to hook your visitors by making them sign up or subscribe to your website. If you put up too many well blended ads, the visitor can easily click away instead of subscribing to your newsletter, so either pick one goal or balance both.

Let’s talk about monetization first. This is easy if you’re using ad networks like Google Adsense. Go to your money page and insert an additional ad unit, blend it well with your content and make sure that its quite visible while not being too obtrusive.

A well placed Adsense unit can really increase your overall daily income. I’ve seen a jump of more than $20 a day for a site that I own when I took the time to test and optimize a few money pages. While you may have default ads already on every page of your site (sidebars, header etc), these may not be truly optimized for a money page.

Money pages need to be treated differently from the other pages on your website. They’re the ones that bring a lot of visitors (big sample size) so you can really use this opportunity to test the profitability of specific ad schemes. You can even remove the default ads specifically for this page so you have more room to experiment. That’s what I do for some sites.

Other ways to monetize include the use of commission-based affiliate programs which range from digital products to established eCommerce retailers like Amazon.com. Clickbank is a digital product marketplace you can use. Sign up, search through the marketplace for a product, grab your affiliate link, insert it on your money page.

You can also try CPA networks with relevant pay-per-lead or pay-per-sale programs to make more money. Commonly used CPA networks are Market Leverage, Max Bounty, NeverBlue, PepperJam, Copeac, Azoogle and Hydra Network, among many others. Affiliate programs can work well but remember to keep them related to your content.

Alternatively, you can promote your own products on your money page by including a short pitch for it and linking to a proper sales page. Or you can try to sell your visitors away from the money page by getting them to first subscribe to an email list.

What is Search Engine Optimization?

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) can be defined as the process of altering the content or structure of your web site so that it ranks higher in the pages of search engine results while a specific key word is being searched. The higher the website gets ranked the greater the probability of the site being visited.

How does Search engines work?
The search engine runs a “spider” through all the web pages traveling through the hyperlinks between the sites and going through the content and collecting information on each page and prepares an index. The spider then returns the information to the search engine. Now, when a particular key word is searched, the search engine displays only those pages which the spider thinks match the key words the most.

Why is SEO necessary?
Most people arrive at a website after conducting a search. Therefore, SEO becomes necessary because your site is unlikely to have any visitors unless it gets shown on the results page, letting people know about its existence.

Good SEO practices
Search engine optimization is not just about having spiders crawling your web site but also about making the viewer spend time on your web site preferring it to several others that also came up in the search.
The SEO process can be started by constructing a nicely structured web site using good design practices. In addition to that, some other ways of making a web site friendlier to search engines are:

Title Tag
The title of your web page is of primary importance to the search engine and it should be precise and brief. Most search engines consider very long titles as spam, so the use of conjunctions and definite articles should be minimized in the title. The company’s name followed by a few words about your services would make an ideal title.

Meta data
Putting keywords in meta data plays a key role in search engine optimization.
However, having an attractive meta tag 'description' is more important as it appears as the description in the search results page. The description should be kept precise, informative and appealing to capture the attention of the visitors thereby motivating them to visit your web site.

Main text
The following points must be kept in mind before writing the content for your web site:
• The site should be free from grammatical errors, spelling mistakes and should have a readable font with good use of color and graphics.
• The content must be presented in an interesting way to hold the attention of the visitor.
• Paragraphs should be short and crisp and words per line should be around 10 to keep viewers focused on the web site.
Another rule is to adjust your web site’s layout in such a way that more important phrases are found at the beginning of the page as search engines consider words at the beginning of the page to be of greater importance than the ones found towards the end.

Links
The easiest way to get a high page rank is to have several web sites providing a link back to your site. The number of pages linking to your website is considered a recommendation by search engines. Some search engines like Google give more weight to links from popular and respectable sites. This can be done by trading links with other web sites thus earning your web site a higher ranking and adding some traffic to your site.

Once these guidelines are followed the web site should have a both a good layout and decent rankings on search engines. This will help in attracting your target audience and also be helpful in motivating the visitors to perform the actions to help achieve your marketing goals.
