"Promoting a new site is a pain"
I can say that I'm really agree with that. Many people think that making a site is just a matter of designing and writing content. No, it is not. Designing and writing content is just the beginning of an almost endless job in starting online adventure. At the time the site entered the internet, many hardwork are waiting.
Starting a new site on the internet is like entering a boundless jungle. You are there, but no one knows you. You sit and wait but no one visit your site. Of course, no one ever heard of your site. You can't earn money when your site has no traffic. You have to promote your site to make it exposed to the world. Only when it's done, you will get traffic and start earning money. Sounds easy. True, site promotion can be easy, yet can be very frustating.
One way to promote your site to the world is to submit it to the search engines. However, it may take hours, weeks, or even monthly to get listed in the search engine. At the time you get listed, still you have to face a tough competition in the search result.
Fortunately, there is an easier way to "tell the world of your existence". It is by getting your site listed in the web directory. Web directory is not a search engine. The difference is, search engines use keyword to link to site, while web directories use categories and subcategories. This categories are not determined by keyword or a specific page of the site. It's more determined by the topics of your whole site. You can't get listed on every categories on the web directory, even though your site covers a wide range of topics. Web directories also important to boost your site's rank in search engine result page because they give backlinks to your homepage. There are many paid directories such as business web directory with high PageRank who list sites based on the highest amount they paid. Of course this is not an option for everyone. Free web directory also have the same advantage.
Other differences of search engines and web directories, is bot usage. Search engine uses crawler bot to index sites, while web directories are human edited. When submitting your site to web directories, make sure you choose the most accurate category for it. An editor will review all the submissions and reject sites with wrong categories.
Make sure to read the directory's rules and instruction carefully. Write your site title and description accurately, and never use all-capital letters. Web directories list sites alphabetically, so if you want to include your site's keywords, use the on that start with letter near to the beginning of the alphabet.
The best option to start with are DMOZ and Yahoo Directory. But remember, they are the best human-edited directories. They review every submission manually to make the result accurate.

Understanding Wireless Technology
I can't believe if there's still anyone said that he’s unfamiliar with wireless? Everyday I see people hanging around with their laptops, looking for free Wi-Fi. Even most common, is there anyone who never see a cellphone? Television, radio, cell phones, remote control, alarm, cordless phone, XBOX 360 and Playstation 3 controller, are just small part of the wireless technology.
It’s true that wireless can’t replace every cable in the world, such as electric cable (no wireless power or wireless electricity generator so you will still need cable or battery to get electricity) but the benefit of wireless is indeed, undoubted.
Wireless technology is very suitable to replace mouse cables, Local Area Network cable and even Wide Area Netwok. The wireless technology implemented for each of them is different, depends on the distance it covers.
Roughly, the stronger a wireless device is, the bigger distance it can cover, and the bigger power it will need as well. You don’t want your cell phone to run out of battery in one minute after you activated the wireless network right? You also don’t want your wireless mouse designed bigger than a coconut.
While I learn about networking, feels like there’s no other standardization more confusing than wireless network’s standardization. At first, I thought that the wireless protocol standardization 802.11a must be the first standardization, followed by 802.11b, and the last one, 802.11g, must be the latest. A very wrong thought!
Donald Maurer compare more about Wires and Wireless technology. It explains the standardization of the 802.11 wireless technology and its details. Which is the first standardization of wireless network technology? Which is the fastest? What are the pros and cons for each of the standardization? There’s also a comparison between wireless network and wired Ethernet network, and onboard wireless card build on motherboards.
Why there should be standardization?
For a technology used massively, standardization is a must to avoid incompatibility of different vendors’ technology. Different hardware vendors can work together. You won’t be happy when your laptop’s wireless can only be connected to the same brand. Also, additional hardware vendors can make compatible accessories for every brand, based on the standardization.

Get Paid to Blog with Blogadvertisingstore
Today blogs are not the same as they were a few years ago. Blogs have evolved from a simple online diary into a money maker. Get paid to write about anything you like is truly an irresistable opportunity. For some people, blog is not just a media to write, sharing thought, get friends, but also an asset to get money. That’s why a paid review programs always welcomed by most of blogger, including me.Paid review program designed to be a place where advertiser and publisher met. For advertiser, they can have feedbacks for their products or services and publisher can earn money by writing their thought about the service. Some Professional bloggers have guide about efective advertisement rates based on their experience.
In most of the paid review programs, PageRank of the blog is an important factor to get job opportunities. The highest your blog’s PageRank, the most likely you will get assigned for a review job. This is a burden for bloggers because increasing PageRank is not an easy job.
Fortunately, the PageRank problem is not the case in Blogadvertisingstore. Even blog’s with PageRank 0 can be accepted and have job opportunities. But of course, you don’t make a blog just to be filled with paid content. You will want to share your thought with the world, and get a lot of visitors. If your blog have interesting content and good traffic, you may get a direct job opportunities from advertiser by displaying the Blogadvertisingstore Direct badge on your blog. I will not talk about how to increase your traffic in this article, but if you really new to SEO, I suggest you started by getting your blog listed in DMOZ or Yahoo Directory. Here some information about blog advertising methods to increase traffic.
Getting job opportunities at Blogadvertisingstore is unique, different from other paid review programs. In other programs, you will automaticly be assigned to a job, so you just have to sit and pray that the job come soon. You can’t complain when you didn’t get a single job in 2 or even 3 months. It’s just your bad luck.
In Blogadvertisingstore, getting job opportunity depends on you. It’s like playing “who’s faster he gets”. For example, if an advertiser needs 100 reviews, you must take the job before all the 100 reviews are taken. So be sure to login to your Blogadvertisingstore account frequently for new jobs, before they all are taken. After you have reserved the review job, you have six hours to submit your review or it will be taken back from you. This is very good for advertiser because they will get their review done immediately after they post it. Advertiser’s satisfaction means more jobs, right?
