Just after the previous post of how to choose a good domain, I just stumbled upon something very valuable. Let me share with you guys how to get a free domain for 1 year. After it expires, you need to pay just the standard renewal charges.

Just follow these easy steps and get yourself a free domain :

• The website giving away free domain is Gandi as it is celebrating it’s 10th year. It is a famous domain registrar on the internet
• Click here and create a new account. Just give in your details, but don’t give out your full address since people can get it by a simple Whois search.
• After you sign up, you will get your Handle ID in the email you gave while signing up. So use the ID and password and login to the website.
• Go here and generate a voucher for yourself. If it says that there is no voucher at that time, it will give you the time when it will be refilled.
• Patiently wait for your turn. Don’t try and make many accounts for more domains, you will get BANNED!!

Nowadays, every Tom Dick and Harry is coming up with a blog of his own. In such situations, along with the content, the other important aspect that one needs to think about is his domain name. Let me tell you some small tips regarding that before we move on.

• Your domain name must be as short as possible.
• Always use .com domains rather than .info or .org just because they are cheaper to purchase.
• Try to avoid hyphens and numbers in the domain name.
• The domain name should be pronounceable. Like, ‘google’ is always easier to remember than ‘xzyqp’ right?
• The domain name should be purchased from a known registrar.
• Make a list of the final 3 domains you selected and ask some of your friends which they liked the most.

You can follow the tips given above, but the question is how to find great domain names? You can always put your brain to work for finding good domain names. But then, why not make the use of tools already available that will simplify your need of a domain name? Let me show you some awesome tools for the same.

If you are one of those who loves chatting and making friends online, there are a few things that you need to be careful about in these days of cyber crime. With hacking becoming a rampant problem, your past chats can reveal a lot of your personal details. To ensure that you don’t fall into any such trap try to keep the following points in mind.

• Never Reveal Your Financial Details

You could be chatting online about money matters, but ensure that you never reveal any money related details. Be it your account number, credit/debit card number or your PIN umber, do not reveal these things on chat.

• Don’t Add Just About Anyone To Your List

Don’a add people in your chat list just to have a long list of friends. Know the person a bit before adding him/her. Check out the mutual friends if possible and get details about the “to-be friend” before adding.

• Be Careful In Chat Rooms

Chat rooms are one of the best places to interact with people around the world. But do understand that there are strangers lurking around there so you gotta be careful and think twice on what you are saying.

• Be Polite But Not Over-Friendly

If someone pings you, it’s customary to say “Hi!” and have a small chat with them. But make sure you don’t get over-friendly. Don’t promise to meet them or be their best buddy. If someone suggests you to meet him/her in the first chat itself, you do have to block button to your rescue

• Don’t Use Profanities

While gossiping online is very much in, don’t use profanities when in a chat room. Saying nasty things about other people is known as “flaming” in cyberspace. You can be blocked from further discussions in the chat due to such reasons.

• Watch What You Say

Some organisations get experts to keep a tab on their employees chats. Maybe it’s not a good idea to gossip about office politics or back-stabbing your boss. Keep it for conversations over a coffee with friends at some cafe.

• No Expectations

The basic rule of chatting is that don’t expect anything if you are chatting with a stranger. You don’t know the person on the other end, so don’t expect him/her to be funny, witty or sensitive. The conversation might lead to a friendship or a fight. Don’t get hurt if someone doesn’t want to be your friend and ignores you or blocks you. Be open minded and chat with the people who accepted you as a friend

GoDaddy is considered as the top domain registrar in the world. What makes it famous are all those discount coupons released by them every month. Even a person who registers his first domain goes for GoDaddy because it will save him a few bucks. People buying multiple domains too get great deals from them…

Though GoDaddy is such a great hit, I personally prefer Name because it gives me a whole bunch of free features like Whois Protection, Google Apps, etc. Another reason for not choosing GoDaddy is due to the problems faced by the users. (Read more about it here). Well, it’s just my personal opinion so don’t get offended if GoDaddy has offered you a great service

We have learnt in our history lessons that Neil Amstrong was the first man on moon.(Did he really walk on moon?). Now, we might have another person added in text books very soon. T.J. Creamer is the first astronaut to Tweet from outer space.

Astronauts aboard the space station received a special upgrade – to access internet World Wide Web (Or should we say Outer World Wide Web? )

Expedition 22 Flight Engineer T.J. Creamer made first use of the new system Friday, when he posted the first unassisted update to his Twitter account, @Astro_TJ, from the space station. Previous tweets from space had to be e-mailed to the ground where support personnel posted them to the astronaut’s Twitter account.

“Hello Twitterverse! We r now LIVE tweeting from the International Space Station – the 1st live tweet from Space! More soon, send your ?s”

This personal Web access, called the Crew Support LAN, takes advantage of existing communication links to and from the station and gives astronauts the ability to browse and use the Web. The system will provide astronauts with direct private communications to enhance their quality of life during long-duration missions by helping to ease the isolation associated with life in a closed environment.

As you might have known, one of the tools to rate a website other than the traffic is PageRank. In fact, if you try to sell a website with high quality content but no PageRank, you will find it hard. Now, many of my friends do ask me on how to get a good PageRank. I will answer that in this post. Many webmasters can afford to pay or do backlinking on their own but don’t know where to start. One of the simplest ways for increasing PR is dofollow blog commenting.

If you don’t know what is dofollow blog commenting, let me try to explain that to you. Blogspot based blogs have rel=”nofollow” attribute set as default. If such attribute is set, the commentor on his blog won’t have any effect on his page rank. Only his time will get wasted. There are many bloggers who care for others and using plugins, turn the attribute to “dofollow”. Such blogs are knows as “dofollow blogs”.

Yeah, now the question you must be thinking is, how do I find these dofollow blogs? I will share a few tips to find such blogs.

• DoFollow Search Engines like CommentHunt and EzBusinessNeeds
• DoFollow Directories like DoFollowBlogs and DoFollowBlogsList
• Lists on forums and SEO websites like DigitalPoint and Courtneytuttle
• Google for phrases like THIS!
• Find images on Google by using phrases like “U Comment”, “I Follow” or “U Comment I Follow”
• Use advanced search syntax like “inurl:ucomment” and “inurl:ifollow”

Some More Tips On Commenting :

Now you have learnt the basics of increasing PR. Here are some tips on commenting :

• Never spam dofollow blogs with lots of spam comments. The owners of such blogs who change to “dofollow” are generally strict and will categorize your comments as spam.
• If those webmasters complain to Google and report your site as spam, Google will penalize your website and you wouldn’t surely get a PR update. In worse cases, your Adsense may also get suspended.
• So, on a safer side, just make 3-5 comments on any given day. Not more, not less.
• Leave comments on all types of blogs, it doesn’t matter if it has a PR 6 or a PR 0.
• Your comment has to look natural. Always put your website link in the box provided for giving your website and not in the text box. Such comments will be regarded as spam and will be edited before publishing. The box provided for adding your name must have your real name and not something that spams your website.

Hope this post helped you, keep the comments flowing in
