Web Hits, Google Rankings and META Tags
Mar 29th
We have gotten a few questions related to how to increase your website’s ranking on Google, how to generate mega-hits and how to optimize your META tages.
Here goes just a quick run down.
First of all, for your website to be indexed it needs to be crawled by a web spider. That means you need to have links to and from your site to increase visibility. Make sure you have your “SEARCH TEXT” (the words you expect people will type into Google) listed in your website and in your website title.
We use a great tool called Internet Business Promoter 9. It will tell you your current listing (Usually non-existent) and crawls your site. It gives you a report on what you should change before submitting your site to the crawlers. The best part we haven’t mentioned yet…. Wait for it….. Wait for it….
Yup!
They submit your site automatically to hundreds of engines. We just did this with our site and have greatly increased our ranking and traffic coming in!

Dude can you help me with my wifi connection
Mar 21st
Our question today comes from Terrence:
Welcome to the blog-o-sphere dude can you help me with my wifi connection? It keeps dropping my access point and connecting to another one and then i can not get to my printer or files. it is windows xp home service pack 2.
Terrence it’s easy: you need to hover your mouse over the wifi icon near the time.
Click “view available wireless networks.”
Then click “change order of prefered networks”
Then click “remove” on any you dont want to connect to and uncheck the box that says “connect to non prefered networks.”
Its checked by default!
Good Luck!

We have just upgraded our Imail 2006 server to revision 2 and I have to say it is sweet! A lot of things we have been requesting for years has become available. For instance you can now get a drop down box to choose your recipients, web mail is a million times faster, you can sync calendar info and contacts with outlook.
Upgrading was a piece of cake. If you want more information on upgrading drop an email or post in the comments.

Sonicwall discontinues support for the pro line and soho line.
Mar 21st
It looks like a few of my Sonicwall firewall appliances have become outdated today. I have to upgrade my pro 200, pro 300 and several soho3′s. We will be replacing them with 2 Sonicwall 3060′s and 5 TZ170.
We will also be getting the comprehensive security suite which is a great deal. It comes with 1 year of tech support, View Point Module, Security Services (spyware, antivirus and intrusion protection)for 1 year.
I will let you all know how it goes! Have you seen www.MisterCoputerHead.Com yet? The site looks good and is fully functional. They will have some free giveaways this weekend! Free Free Free!
We Love Free!

Review: Bandwidth monitor NetMeter
Mar 18th
Bandwidth monitor NetMeter graphs how much data’s going in and out of your PC over the internet.
This morning lifehacker feautered freemeter, another bandwidth tracker with some extra networking bells and whistles. NetMeter is more barebones, but its charts and reports are a bit more grokable than Freemeter’s. What I really like is NetMeter’s bandwidth usage projections for the day, week and month based on the data it’s already tracked. After the jump, check out a few screenies of NetMeter’s reports, after I had it running for only a few minutes.
