Production No. 1 Hindi Movie Preview

Wed, Nov 12, 2008

Saif Ali Khan treads the path earlier walked on by many of his industry colleagues with the forthcoming venture Production No. 1. The movie is produced by Saif and directed by Imtiaz Ali. For the uninitiated, Imtiaz Ali is the man to whom the glaring success of Jab We Met is attributed. So imtiaz should be looking to repeat the magic with Kareena’s beau this time.

Imtiaz Ali has held on to the musical talents of Pritam, the man who has been churning out blockbusters at will all last year. February 2009 is slated to be the month of release, and Illuminati group has taken the seemingly viable job of distributing the film.

Deepika Padukone will be playing Saif’s lady love. This is bound to be some kind of a chemistry. World is a small place, Rishi, apparently Deepika’s would-be father-in-law will take on the mantle of playing second fiddle. Rahul khanna would make a comeback of sorts and would be seen in a support role as well. Rahul will also be seen in Karan Johar’s home production in coming times.

Jai and Meera, reel nameof the protagonists would be seen dancing all around San Fransisco, London and even the ubiquitous Indian metropolis, Kolkata. Parts of the movie are also shot around Red Fort and Purana Qila.

Imtiaz Ali has confessed to taking a risk in choosing Deepika. After all, people would always think of Kareena Kapoor while imagining an Imtiaz Ali film. To cast a newcomer for such a role was challenging but Imtiaz argues that the role was cut out for someone who has a silent presence in the media. It suits the role.

Google SEO Tips

Wed, Nov 12, 2008

3 Comments

If you’ve ever worked on a website, you’ve probably stumbled across the term SEO. SEO, or Search Engine Optimization, is the “science” (some might say art form) of writing the text and metadata tags of a website so that search engines like Google will see the site as an authority on whatever subject it covers. It is then listed higher in the list of search results for the subject. There are various ways people use to make their websites as SEO friendly as possible, and some work better than others. Below are some tips for making your website more Google SEO friendly so that it ends up listed on page one rather than page one hundred.

Practical Google SEO Tips That Work

  • Don’t forget the meta tags! Many people forget to include keywords in their meta data because it’s not an obvious thing. When webpage’s were constructed in text editors, all the tags and behind the scenes information had to be entered. Now, however, people can make web pages in programs like Expression or Dreamweaver without ever seeing the code and it’s very easy to forget to enter keyword tags since you don’t ever see them on the actual webpage itself.
  • Likewise, make certain to give each webpage a title (the text that appears on the top blue bar in Internet Explorer). Titles, like meta tags, may not contribute to the content on the page but are vital to search engine results.
  • Another thing not to forget is to fill in those ALT tags on images. ALT tags contain the text that will appear on a page if your image doesn’t load for some reason, and they are yet another place you can stick in important keywords that describe your website and your content.
  • Make sure your site is error-free. Sometimes, errors in XHTML, Flash, or other plug-ins can cause a search engine to misinterpret what your website is about.
  • Write more content. A page with only a few sentences won’t be seen as informative by Google’s search software. These pages will be ranked lower than pages with a higher word count. What is considered the optimal word count varies from person to person. Some say you need only around 500 words of text on a page while others claim it’s better to have upwards of 3,000 or so. The more words you have, the likelier you’ll perfectly match a Google query. However, if you find yourself adding in filler content just to make longer pages, you may want to consider how a real person will react to the text. People rarely want to read redundant information.
  • Be aware of how many times you use your keywords in the text. Ideally, you want each of your keywords to appear four or five times on a page, but it depends on how long your pages are. If you have 500 words of text, you may not be able to work in all of your keywords five times. On the other hand, if you have 3,000 words, you can probably use keywords eight to ten times and still have natural sounding sentences. Be careful here: if your keyword density is too low, Google won’t pick up on the word as a keyword, but if it’s too high, Google may decide your page is full of SEO spam and penalize it accordingly.
  • Use your keywords at least once in the first few sentences of your page. The closer a keyword is to the top of a webpage, the more significant Google sees it.
  • Google SEO robots like to see bigger websites. Generally, they believe that a site with more pages has more information and should be ranked higher. Likewise, sites that grow and expand are more favorably ranked over those that never add new pages or content.
  • Focus on your main page(homepage) first. This is the page that search engines look at the most, so you want it to contain all of your keywords.
  • Google’s search programs can’t read images. This means if you use keywords in buttons or on banners at the top of your page, they will have no effect on the page’s rank. If you use images for your navigation, try to add in actual text links on your page as well. At the very least, make certain you add image ALT text to the buttons and banners.
  • Avoid the word “click“. Many spam pages, especially ones that are trying to sell products or get people to join pyramid schemes, use the word “click” excessively. Google tends to rank pages that include this word lower since they are more often than not spam.
  • Include descriptive text in your links. If you’re linking to a site, use the site title or a description of it in the anchor link text instead of saying “click here” (plus, this helps you avoid that dirty C-word!).
  • Google ranks words in italics, bold, or that are underlined as being more important. Be sure to bold a few keywords here and there on your site. Don’t do this to every keyword, though. Besides looking very odd to humans on your site, search engines will see too much of this as suspicious.
  • When it comes to keyword phrases, Google does not notice punctuation. This means that “dog beds” and “dog: beds” are actually seen as the same. Taking advantage of this lets you work in keyword phrases in ways that don’t seem as repetitive.
  • Avoid frames if possible. Pages that appear inside frames don’t contain their own title, and often they don’t have links to the other pages on your site since the links are on the frame. Google likes to see links and titles on each page.
  • If your page isn’t going to be updated often, consider adding a blog to it. As stated earlier, Google ranks pages that add new content higher than pages that haven’t changed for three years. If your website isn’t going to need new content on a regular basis, add a blog. You can then blog about business specials, conferences you’ve attended recently, review new products related to your site, and more.

Making your site Google SEO friendly isn’t a one-time thing. As time goes by, you’ll need to review your SEO work to see if it still applies. Search engines are evolving, and as their SEO algorithms change, they pick up on different things as SEO-friendly. You’ll regularly need to look at what keywords you’re using, where you are using those keywords, and what content your website has.

Despite all of these tips about keyword writing, there’s one very, very important thing to remember that will seem very contrary: don’t write your webpage’s for Google’s SEO robots. First and foremost, you need to write for the actual human beings who are going to be reading your site, especially if you want them to take some action or buy a product. Search engine rank is important, true, but not so important that you risk alienating your customers. This is why search engine optimization is difficult—you want a page that appeals to both humans and Google robots. It can be a challenge to balance well-written, informative text against text sprinkled with keywords and other Google attention-getting devices. With a little work and use of these tips, however, you can create well-written webpage’s that will also rank highly on Google.

Paramore Decode Video

Tue, Nov 11, 2008

1 Comment

Twilight” is a movie with a chilling story that should be the toast of the tinsel town the moment it opens up on November 21st this year. What makes it special is the ultra-famous band Paramore, who have stepped up to record a song ‘decode’ as the catchphrase song of the movie.

The band, known for its versatility, and generous definition of Guitar playing has been going from strength to strength, and after a hugely triumphant year has given us sparkling hits like “Misery business” and “That’s what you get“.

“Decode”, their latest dish, is scorching hearts with supersonic speed, and has earned a place in Myspace.com and renowned author Stephanie Meyer’s official webpage; that too pre-release.

It is getting millions of streams played in its initial week itself and has consequently been taken up by multi-format radio outlets, billed as a top-draw song from a potential block-buster “Twilight”. Streaming of the song started on October 20th.

Just to add the necessary icing, the movie also boasts of another Paramore song –”I caught myself“. So one is having two in the bush while dealing with Twilight, so to speak!

Paramore has been doing relentless concerts worldwide, ever since summer this year and is tipped to go busier. They have been short-listed for prestigious awards as mtvU’s 2008 Woodie awards and MTV Europe Music awards.

The growing fame can be measured with a simple tidbit that its leading female guitarist is slated to play alongside legends such as Jimmy Hendrix, Sting, Ozzy Osborne and Billy Corgan.

HP LaserJet 1200 Review

Tue, Nov 11, 2008

0 Comments

HP LaserJet 1200, a BW laser printer with a 1200 x 1200 dpi and the best point is that it can really work. The laserjet 1200 printer by HP is making the right kind of waves since its launch. It works for a 1200n Ethernet connection and comes with the facility of scan extension.

If you have to print a lot of letters, manuals and documentation, this is the right choice for you. Also, the price quoted by HP is way too reasonable. The bottleneck is that the printer works extremely slow when made to churn out sophisticated graphics. We are talking of the PostScript mode. It works perfectly though in the PCL mode. Hence it is advisable to use it with the Ghostscript driver like the pxlmono or hpjis.

“1200” uses PostScript effectively for all the fundamental printing purpose whereas HPLIP driver is paramount for advanced functions. The paper tray is very robust and allows easy insertion.

Also parallel port connection seems to work best for it. Using it with a USB connection device seems to be a lost idea.

A typical Linux user will always boast how the printer is an able ally in tackling high-volume documentation if the texts are simple.
