If not yet, then here it is.

Recently, numerous reports have noted that the Canadian Internet Registration Authority has proposes a new standard for the domain name whois privacy. In their proposal, it is considered that the new policy for domain name whois privacy will provide all the dot- owners with an enhanced domain name whois privacy safeguards, bringing the domain name whois privacy policy in line with the currently enacted laws.

Today, the new proposed domain name whois standard becomes the hottest subject of a general public consultation. And this domain name whois policy will see the CIRA to pursue in collecting complete information from dot-ca domain name owners, however, it will create only a little amount of the details that are available to the general public in its web-based domain name directory.

Along with such introduction, the Canadian Internet Registration Authority itself have assumed that this new domain name whois standard will ensure greater privacy protection barriers under the dot-ca regime than are recently accessible with so many other internet domains just like the dot-com. In some reports about this matter proposed by the CIRA, it is noted that the president of the CEO of CIRA had mentioned that this new standard for the domain name and whois privacy is all about protecting the people's fundamental right to privacy in the virtual reality. Along with that statement, the president of the CEO of CIRA also mentioned that since the internet is a wonderful and transformative force, it is then right to take some great care to ensure that such dimension serves the people, and not the other way around.

With such main reason for introducing this new standard for the domain name whois privacy, the group further maintains that this policy then sets a new standard among the internet domains. And in particular, the new standard for domain name whois privacy states that for those who register a dot-ca domain name, it is only the domain name, registrar's name, registration date, "last change" date, notice about adjustments in status of the domain name and server IP numbers/names will be accessible through whois. It further holds that the policy for organizations with dot-ca designations will not be changed, so the same date will continue to be accessible through whois. And lastly, the new policy holds that CIRA will pursue to ensure that all registration data is available to law enforcement agencies.

Well, the domain name Whois search and query are just some of the common terms that the world of domain name carries. So for those who are not really familiar with these two terms, the domain name Whois search and the domain name , here are some facts for you.

In particular, the term "Whois" actually stands for a database of for . It is essentially a tool that is commonly applied to search information for a domain name.

Now that you have an idea about the term "Whois", the next thing to consider is the nature of the domain name Whois search, and then the domain name Whois query. So according to some resources, the domain name Whois search is typically a means to search for domain name . Speaking of the domain name contact information, it is interesting to know that the contact information may vary depending on the domain name registrar and the such as .com, ..net, .org, .info, .biz, .us, and .uk.

Generally, the domain name contact information for the domain name holder and the administrator will be displayed through the domain name Whois search. Along with that, it is just very necessary to ensure that the contact information is appropriate when engaging in the domain name Whois search, otherwise the desired domain name will remain invalid. Also necessary is to know that domain names that are registered within the last 48 hours may not be shown in a domain name Whois search. So if such happens that no contact information is given for a desired domain name, you must not assume that the domain name is accessible. But you don't need to worry at all for there are services that grant you to check the accessibility of the desired domain names.

On the hand, when it comes to the domain name Whois query, you should note that the domain name Whois query is a homogeneous means of getting hold of contact information from a registrar's or registry's database. It is considered that before, when there was a sole domain name registrar, the domain name Whois query would display the domain name holder and the other contacts for a registered domain name. But as time goes by, the domain name Whois query against a registry's database determines the domain name registrar and the name servers for a certain domain name that is mentioned in the query. And the query against a domain name registrar's database, on the other hand, determines the domain name holder as well as the contacts that are connected with it.

Unlike the domain name Whois search, there is a great possibility that the domain name is available even if the query does not give the domain name. In fact, it is given that is a domain name is not located in a registry's database, then the name is probably available, and if the domain name is not located in a registrar's database, it simply means that the name is not being managed by that certain name registrar.

So whatever the case may be, both the domain name Whois search and query play a large role in finding the domain name and thus they contribute a great part in the domain names industry.

A recent trio of patents published last May 4, 2006 by Go Daddy has lead people to speculate on whether is using Who Is information for other purposes such as improving their ranking mechanism. The patents by Go Daddy all had the same description and in essence explored the possibility of adding additional information in the in which the additional information can be used to improve and help combat various forms of Internet abuse like spamming and phishing. The three patents, whose inventors are Warren Adelman and Michael Chadwick, are as follows:

• Publishing domain name related reputation in WhoIs records (US 20060095459) • Tracking domain name related reputation ( Application 20060095586) • Presenting search engine results based on domain name related reputation (US Patent Application 20060095404)

Google's Patents

Although Google has nothing to do with Go Daddy's patents, a patent of their own filed in December of 2003 and published last March 31, 2005 has raised some eyebrows and made people wonder whether they are indeed using WhoIs information in the way that Go Daddy's patents suggest they could. The patent Information retrieval based on historical data (US Patent Application 20050071741) stated that "systems and methods...may score documents based, at least in part, on history data associated with the documents. This scoring may be used to improve search results generated in connection with a search query." The history data indicated in the Google's patent description just might be, according to speculation, the additional data or information that can be added to the WhoIs database that the Go Daddy's patent is speaking of. This makes sense since the use of both information or data is consistent with each other in that the history data that will be used in scoring documents in turn would help improve relevancy of search engine results.

Issue of Privacy

The improved search results are of course not a problem for Google users since they will benefit from it. However it is not the improved results that are raising eyebrows, rather privacy matters is what's under question. People have always been concerned about their privacy and many see the additional data to be added to the WhoIs database as unnecessary and furthermore the use of such information to be a step towards invading their privacy. It is actually ironic that just recently an article appeared on CircleID which mentions that there is an emerging strong feeling among people that there should be less access to WhoIs information, and yet it is also around this time that the Go Daddy's patent on other possible uses of the WhoIs information was published and emerged.

GNSOs Definition of WhoIs Purpose

Discussions regarding the possible use of WhoIs information for other purposes by Google could, however, be pointless due to a recent vote made by ICANN's Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) Council regarding the purpose of WhoIs and thus the use of WhoIs information as well.

To come up with a definition for the purpose of WhoIs a WhoIs Task Force was formed with the two primary responsibilities of defining the purpose of WhoIs service in context with ICANN's mission and relevant core values and to define the purpose of the Registered Name Holder, technical, and administrative contacts, in the context of the purpose of WhoIs, and the purpose for which the data was collected. The task force then developed the definition from July to November of 2006 and finally submitted two definitions of the purpose for WhoIs, which was put up for further discussion. The two definitions according to the Preliminary task force report on the purpose of WhoIs and of the WhoIs contacts were:

"The purpose of the gTLD WhoIs service is to provide information sufficient to contact a responsible party for a particular gTLD domain name who can resolve, or reliably pass on data to a party who can resolve, issues related to the configuration of the records associated with the domain name within a DNS nameserver." (Definition 1)

And

"The purpose of the gTLD WhoIs service is to provide information sufficient to contact a responsible party or parties for a particular gTLD domain name who can resolve, or reliably pass on data to a party who can resolve, technical, legal or other issues related to the registration or use of a domain name." (Definition 2)

After much discussion a majority vote of 2/3 of the GNSO Council finally voted on Definition 1 as the definition of the purpose for WhoIs. The definition was supported by was supported by the registries, registrars, the three Nomination Committee appointees, and the noncommercial users (NCUC) while the Business, Intellectual Property, and ISP constituencies did not agree.

The US Government expressed displeasure with the final decision unsurprisingly since the definition restricts their ability to use WhoIs information for other purposes as well. In the discussion NCUC even expressly stated that one of the excluded or invalid purposes of WhoIs is to "expand the surveillance powers given to law enforcement under law, or to bypass the protections and limitations imposed by sovereign governments to prevent the abuse and misuse of personal data, even by law enforcement."

It was not explicitly statements though against using WhoIs information for search engine results optimization and for combating Internet fraud. That is not to say though that it is in line with the defined purpose, since it is not. However, there might yet be hope that Google can continue such use of WhoIs information (if they are using it in that way) since the definition of purpose can eventually be expanded to fit that use if ICANN decides that it would still be in line with their core values. As the registry constituency said in their discussion regarding the purpose of WhoIs "The WhoIs function had one original purpose...[but now] has additional purposes that have arisen from the change of character of the Internet." They acknowledge the change in purpose but the statement was said with illegal or criminal activities in mind and the need to change the WhoIs function to combat such activities and yet preserve the individual's privacy. Go Daddy's patent explicitly stated that WhoIs information could be used to combat such activities and since the use is noble and not aimed to divulge any information for the whole world to see then there could be hope for their proposed use of WhoIs information. As for Google, we just have to wait and see if improving ranking mechanisms will be seen by ICANN as a justifiable use of such information. http://www.theinternetone.net ]]> Big Considerations For Domain Name Owners http://www.artwoo.com/article/big-considerations-for-domain-name-owners http://www.artwoo.com/article/big-considerations-for-domain-name-owners#comments Thu, 06 Jul 2006 02:27:09 +0000 domain name registrationdomain name systemdomain namesacpaicannwhoisassigned names http://www.artwoo.com/article/big-considerations-for-domain-name-owners domain names continue to surface, the numbers of people who engaged into getting, purchasing, and owning a domain names rises. This event therefore leads to an increase in number of the domain name owners. Given such fact, the International Corporation of and Numbers or the with its Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) and the Anti-cybersquatting Consumer Protection Act () recently presents serious dangers to the innocent domain name owners.

So, there surfaced a number of considerations for the domain name owners to avoid loss of their domain names. One of the considerations that the domain name owners should give attention to lessen the danger of losing their domain names is to get a trademark registration that match their respective domain name. This process is not too difficult for the fact that some of the countries today cater to this service and this is not really required by the law to employ a trademark company.

Following such consideration for the innocent domain names owners' sake is the act of keeping the information up to date. This is considered to be very important since there are some cases where a court or the UDRP tribunal ruling against particular domain name owners based its judgment in line on incomplete or out of date Whois information. And after doing such move, the domain name owners should also check their Whois and information not just once but always.

Since it is a common case where most of the domain name owners fail to pay their registration fees and therefore lose their domain names, it is therefore necessary for the domain names owners to pay for such registration fees to keep their domain names in function and up to date. One major support for this fact is that Whois information of certain domain name owners that is out of date will only lead to the situation where their fee never reached them.

And finally, in cases where someone contacts the domain name owners regarding their domain names, it is important that they are aware that regardless of how folksy or friendly a letter could be from someone asking their domain names, any answers by the domain name owners that makes of the possible blunders may probably cause a lawsuit or UDRP complaint taking advantage of the domain name owners' blunder. But, if the domain name owners really receive a UDRP complaint, then it is a right time to respond the complaint, since the majority of UDRP decisions against the domain name owners are default decisions that is where the domain name owner failed to respond to the complaint.

Well, the obvious is to get it hosted somewhere. But how do you get it andquot;somewhereandquot;? How does one move their domain from one place to another?

Determine where your domain name is currently hosted

Domain transfers are without a doubt one of the most confusing things to a , especially if you've never done it before and you don't have a clue as to where to start. Unfortunately it's a fact and we can't make it easy for you. But we can try to ease it up a bit.

The first thing you need to do is determine where your domain name is currently hosted. To do this you must do a . Go to one of the websites below:

.com" >http://betterwhois.com .com" >http://allwhois.com http://completewhois

For this example we will use http://betterwhois.com. Type your domain name in the text box provided.

The who is database gives info about the registrant: administrative contact the technical contact and the billing contact, including addresses phone numbers and email addresses. This is available to the public.

We want info about http://notreallyadomain.com for this example.

This is what you will see:

Domain names in the .com, .net, and .org domains can now be registered with many different competing registrars. Go to http://www.internic.net for detailed information.

Domain Name: http://NOTREALLYADOMAIN.COM Registrar: TUCOWS, INC. : .net" >http://whois.opensrs.net Referral URL: http://domainhelp.tucows.com Name Server: http://NS1.NOTREALLYANAMESERVER.NET Name Server: http://NS2.NOTREALLYANAMESERVER.NET

Updated Date: 07-jan-2004 Creation Date: 08-mar-1997 Expiration Date: 08-mar-2006 The Registry database contains ONLY .COM, .NET, .ORG, .EDU domains and Registrars.

So, in breaking a whois search down:

Domain Name-The domainname you have inquired about

Registrar-The registrar the domain has been registered with

Whois Server-Who is database this info was pulled from

Referral URL-The URL of the Registrar -who you need to contact in order to change the domain from one name server to the other: either by physically talking to them or using control panel access.

Primary Name Server-The nameserver the domain currently resides on

Secondary Name Server-The nameserver the domain currently resides on Two nameservers are generally used: if the primary nameserver breaks then the secondary can take over the primary nameserver duties until the primary is fixed.

Updated Date-When the whois record was last updated

Creation Date: When the domainname was created

Expiration Date: When the domain name expires

This domain was registered thru an Opensrs registrar/reseller. Scan the who is database you will usually find the Registrar contact info. In this case the info was towards the bottom:

Registration Service Provider: http://Domainmonger.com, service@domainmonger.com and#43;1.425-821-8032 http://www.domainmonger.com

We would then go to http://www.domainmonger.com

Providing we have our userid and password we could login and change our nameserver info, contact info or any number of functions.

Once we have changed our name server info there is generally a propagation periodnas the internet as a whole updates with new dns information. For a new domain name, you can count on anywhere from 12 - 24 hours. For a domain name that is already in existance, and has already been moved, it can take anywhere from 12 - 72 hours. There is no definitive time, unfortunately. There have been instances of propagation taking two weeks or more.

Here are some of the different Domain name registrars now available on the net.

Recommendations to keep your domain name maintenence hassle-free:

Never use your domain name as part of your email address on your contact email for your whois record. Use a web-based email like Yahoo or Hotmail. If you experience any kind of issue, you'll be emailed at your contact email, and if it's your domain name and it's broken, you're out of luck.

Use yourself as a technical contact on your whois record. Use a second email address as well. Hosting companies do go out of business, and this could hinder your access should you want to move the domain name.

Keep track of the email addresses you use as contacts, the userids and passwords. Keep track of your domain name - when you ordered it, when it expires. If you let the domain name expire, your website will not be accessible through the domain name. Keep track of any userids/passwords associated with domain name maintenence.

The body of your privacy policy should have several components such as, how common the collected user information is protected, the security measures you take to protect the information, if you share that information with a third party. Also include privacy information specific to your field. For example, if you're collecting customer e-mail addresses be specific about how you plan to use them.

Always include the company contact information in your privacy policy so that customers can contact you in case they have any questions. Make sure that a link to your privacy policy is clearly visible on your website.

It is far easier than most general web surfers suspect. You can quickly learn with a little forethought.

You need little know-how to register a domain name. Your first task is to find a company that will let you perform a search in what is known as a "WHOIS" database. These databases contains all registered domain names worldwide. Domains that are currently in use will offer the name of the individual or company with ownership. The WHOIS will also tell you if your desired domain is free.

Domain names are an evolving aspect of the web. The development of new extensions has created many wonderful Internet opportunities. Extensions are the letters at the end of a URL, or web address. The most popular extensions are ".com," ".net" and ".org." Webmasters can find additional extensions, such as:

* .biz
* .info
* .tv
* .us

New extensions allow webmasters to use the precise domain names they want. Potential webmasters are often disappointed to see the name and extension they want is already taken. It may belong to a rival company or may have fallen victim to a common practice of reselling. Domain name reselling is where a company purchases a large number of in order to raise the resell price and turn a profit. It is not recommended to buy a domain name that is being virtually scalped. Webmasters can find many other name/extension combinations available at the standard price.

The added bonus of these new extensions are many. It is common to find multiple domain offering discounted prices on domain names with these new extensions. This will lower the costs of starting a website and give you a unique slant for your domain.

The best domain registrar companies will be established. They should have a good rating at independent websites. The domain registrar should offer constant customer support and a variety of payment options. It is a trend amid many registrars to offer "credit card only" services. It is best to avoid these practices. Your registrar and your hosting company should both be eager for your business. This means providing good service and accommodating your payment needs. The credit only sites tend to be lax in their customer service and will not readily work with clients who must change payment information. They have a company infrastructure that automates as many functions as possible.

You will move on to the registration process when you have selected your company. Resources are available across the Internet to help if you have specific concerns. Domain name registrars are the record keepers of the Internet. Your registrar sells you your domain name and sends out information that your respective domain has been purchased. You will need to pay for your domain annually. Many companies offer services that allow you to purchase a number of years into the future.

The checkout process for buying a domain name is much like buying anything else online. You enter your standard information and payment information. Your receipt is sent via e-mail.

You will need to wait for a period of 48 hours before you can begin publishing your domain. This is to allow adequate time for a process known as propagation. When your domain name propagates, it travels to s worldwide and submits the data that the domain name is in use. It really is a simple process. Even if you don't know how to register a domain name, you should be confident. It's an easy process.More information on Registering domain names is available at http://www.domainnamehostingblog.com/]]> Debt Consolidation Loan Online Services: Protecting Your Privacy http://www.artwoo.com/article/debt-consolidation-loan-online-services-protecting-your-privacy http://www.artwoo.com/article/debt-consolidation-loan-online-services-protecting-your-privacy#comments Mon, 02 Jul 2007 22:14:58 +0000 debt consolidation loanprotecting your privacyprotect your privacybrick and mortaronline predatorsmortar worldfriends and neighbors http://www.artwoo.com/article/debt-consolidation-loan-online-services-protecting-your-privacy debt consolidation loan online.

And know that are one of the best ways to get inbound links. Inbound links are valuable because essentially consider each link a "vote" for your site. The more votes you have, the higher your search engine ranking will be. Search engines also place a premium on one-way links. That's not to say that reciprocal links are worthless, but they are much less valuable than one-way links, and directories are a great way to get one-way links.

You may be wondering whether it's more beneficial to submit your site to general directories or to niche directories. The answer is that both are beneficial. General directories work to your advantage because they tend to be older and more well-established than niche directories, and search engines give more weight to links from older, more reputable sites. Niche directories are also great because they drive targeted traffic to your site even more than do general directories. So submit to both because both will pay off for you in the end.

As you continue considering how to select directories to which you can add your URL, ask the following 6 questions:

1. What is the directory's PageRank? The higher the directory's PageRank, the more value it is given by the search engines. General directories that have been around for awhile will usually have a than niche directories, but don't let that stop you from using niche directories since they drive targeted traffic to your site. If you're considering using paid directories, don't pay for a listing in a directory with a PageRank less than 5.

2. What kinds of backlinks are in the directory? Are the backlinks located within the directory from real sites or are they for sites from which the directory has purchased ads?

3. How old is the directory? As mentioned earlier, search engines give greater weight to links from websites that are considered authoritative within the online community. Even if you're going to submit yours site to some niche directories, be sure to also submit your site to directories that have been around awhile.

4. What's the quality of the other submissions? If the other sites listed in the directory look like spam, or if they look like they are miscategorized, avoid the directory altogether. It probably doesn't have a high-quality directory manager and it probably isn't very selective about listings. As a result, it probably doesn't have a great reputation in the online community. Don't associate with it.

5. How much does it cost? Is the PageRank high enough for your investment? Does the quality match the price?

6. Is the company that runs the site reputable? Find out the name of the company that runs the site using http://whois.com. Research the company as much as possible. If it has dozens of cookie-cutter directories, stay away from it. It's probably more interested in making money than in providing a high-quality service.

If you're still not sure how to go about choosing a directory in which to list your website, consider consulting an SEO expert or an internet marketing professional. He or she will be able to tell you which directories are reputable and which directories are best avoided, as well as which niche directories are worth your investment. He or she may even submit your site on your behalf!

Do your research, pick some great sites, and enjoy the benefits of using directory submissions to jump-start your internet marketing strategy. You'll see increased traffic to your site and increased search engine ranking, both of which are keys to a successful business.Seomul Evans is a senior SEO services consultant with "SEO 1 Services" and Add Url cafe providing freeinternet marketing articles.]]> The 3 P's - Proxies, Privacy And Personal Security http://www.artwoo.com/article/the-3-ps-proxies-privacy-and-personal-security http://www.artwoo.com/article/the-3-ps-proxies-privacy-and-personal-security#comments Thu, 13 Mar 2008 22:34:59 +0000 internet proxy serverinternet privacy and securitypublic restroomsnudist beachestechnical jargonvague conceptstwisted web http://www.artwoo.com/article/the-3-ps-proxies-privacy-and-personal-security internet privacy and security and whether and how an can help.

Generally Speaking: What Do Security and Privacy Mean to Us?

What is security to you? Knowing that your home is locked? Having a car alarm? Security is a relative term and it means something different to each person. For example, some people would find having a car alarm to be over-the-top while others would find a car alarm to be a necessity.

Now let's ask what privacy means to you. Privacy, too, is totally subjective. Some people hate to use while others enjoy .

Clarifying These Concepts Online and How an Internet Proxy Can Help

So if security and privacy are such in our culture, how do you define and put them into action on the internet? How can they be regulated?

The answer is personal=97it comes down to preference. Did you know that when you surf the internet your online behavior is constantly being tracked and potentially documented? Does that make you uncomfortable?

An internet proxy, without getting into too much , is a way to surf online with a bit more anonymity. If you're able to be at least somewhat anonymous when you surf the net, perhaps you'll feel a bit more comfortable, for starters.

Other benefits of using an internet proxy to give you privacy online are that it can help prevent identity theft and spam. That means safety and security for you and your family. Who doesn't want more of that?

The

The internet can seem exciting, fun, and friendly. Never before has there been such a vast library of multimedia, interactive entertainment, business communication and more! And it's all at your fingertips, right in the privacy of your home or office!

With all this zeal that the web incites in us, we forget what a dangerous place it can be. And because we are at home using the net a lot of the time, we think we are in a private, safe place. That is a grave misperception, unfortunately!

The web is neither safe nor private. Having an internet proxy is one way that you can safeguard yourself from the dangers that lie in waiting to prey on you and your loved ones.

One thing that occurs when you are online is that small text files called "cookies" are collected and stored right on your computer about the sites you visited. Sites can access these cookies and this is a potential invasion of privacy. You can configure how your internet browser handles cookies, but a proxy is another way to help.

What Else Helps for Online Safety and Privacy?

A proxy is one method of giving you increased security and privacy online, but it is not an end-all be-all solution, and is not the only solution. Some other things you should consider are using a router (instead of connecting directly to your modem), enabling the Windows Firewall, and getting anti-spyware and anti-virus programs. These programs can detect, prevent, and remove attacks and other issues that come from malicious websites online.

Keep in mind, though, that there are no secrets online, so surf accordingly. You may feel private, and you may be taking precautions, but there will always be someone who knows how to access your information if they really need to (such as the authorities, if you are up to no good!).

The site has a and all you do is click on the ad, view it until the timer gets to zero and go to the next site. They are called sites or PTC's for short. Although one only makes a penny or less for each click of the mouse do not let that fool you, it is possible to make per day or more with paid to click websites.

These sites also will pay you for each and every click made by other members who you have referred to the paid to click program. So you can have one thousand all clicking ads and you get a penny for each of their clicks and this can really add up to of money. Some offer deals like one cent per click and one cent per referral click, while others offer half that, but those sites who pay less than one cent per click often have lower ad prices for their advertisers, resulting in more ads for you to click on than the other sites.

Many of these websites also have "paid to sign up" offers from other members as well. This is where you sign up into thier program and you get paid ten cents for that at most sites.

When choosing a good paid to click site, you should check their site for a forum link. If they have a user forum, go to it and register there first. Then look around their forum, talk to the moderators there, and try to get a feel for how well liked the site is among it's members. This can save you alot of headaches later on.

Many of these sites will sell you referrals in packages as small as five or as large as five hundred. The cost for these is usually around a dollar each, and a group of five hundred referrals can bring in $50 per month comfortably, as long as their are ads at the site for everyone to click on. You need to be careful though, the key is to find paid to click sites owned by a good honest admin. This can be researched by visiting their forum like I said earlier, and by doing a Internet search for the websites name or the owners name. Do a whois lookup if you know how and look at the owners name of the domain name itself, and the date the sites url was created. This can be done at whois dot com.

I have created a website that lists all the best paid to click programs based on my real experience with the owners. All sites listed are sites where I have had no problems whatsoever or they are removed from this list. You can read the list at:

The number of web directories have been growing rapidly on the Internet and can no longer ignore the fact that web directories allow a site to build backlinks very quickly. However, are all web directories equal?

Web directory owners have to battle the constant problem of automatic submissions. Therefore, directory scripts nowadays come with a built-in feature (an acronym for andquot;completely automated public to tell computers and humans apartandquot;). With the implementation of this feature, spammers can no longer flood a directory with automated submissions. This, however, has a side effect. Without the aid of automatic submission tools, webmasters who are attempting to build links in web directories will now have to submit links manually. Anyone who have done so before will agree that the process can be tiring and time consuming. Due to this reason, manual web should be restricted to only worthy directories. A list of high quality, established and popular web directories should be made and kept for future use. How then should webmasters go about selecting the directories that matter most? Here are three useful tips for your web directory checklist.

For a start, note the page rank of a web directory. A high page rank usually means two things: There are high quality sites linking to it, or there are enough smaller sites linking to it to give it a high page rank. Whichever the case, links from a should pass some page rank to the links in it. , that's not true for all directories.

Page rank pass easily if a directory has search engine friendly pages. A good directory that passes page rank should not have URLs with long query strings in them (e.g. http://somepage.php?id=2134567456484456456123). Instead, a search engine friendly URL should look something like andquot;/Arts-and-Entertainmentandquot; or andquot;Arts-and-Entertainment.htmlandquot;. Always take the effort to choose web directories that are search engine friendly, even if they have a lower page rank. Page rank fluctuates and if a web directory happens to inherit a higher page rank over time, chances are your site will inherit some page rank value as well. Also, note that if your links land in a page that is too deep to inherit any page rank, it wouldn't do any good either. Is page rank the only thing that matters?

Of course not. A link in a high traffic web directory can bring a decent amount of traffic. Considering that most web directories accept links for free, it appears to be a pretty good deal to have links in them. Some directories require a modest one-time fee to list a site but it still appears to be a good deal considering all the future traffic that a listing can receive from the directory.

To check the popularity of a web directory, simply go to http://Alexa.com and key in the domain name in the search box. http://Alexa.com shows an estimation of how popular a website is on the Internet. The higher the ranking (the smaller the number), the better. Assuming we now have a list of web directories with high page rank that are search engine friendly (high quality), and they are popular to rank well in http://Alexa.com (popular), we still need a way to assess how established a web directory is.

Archive.org has a really cool tool called the Wayback Machine. The machine captures screenshots of websites and post them in its archive for public search. A quick search will reveal the different phases that a website has gone through. Also, don't forget to do a quick whois check using any whois tool such as http://whois.domaintools.com.

Let's do a quick recap. Here's your check list:

1) High page rank with search engine friendly URLs (quality) 2) Good Alexa ranking (popularity) 3) Good history revealed by Wayback Machine (established)

Remember that manual submissions can be time consuming. So choose those web directories that matter most to submit to. Now that you know how to choose web directories to submit to, you can always take the easy way out. Hire someone to do the manual submissions! Armed with the knowledge in this article, I'm sure no one would be able to pull a fast one on you. Ask for a sample list of directories and go through the checklist. It goes to show if the service provider knows what he or she is doing. And if you like what you see, go for it!

There are three major functions that can perform. They are privacy, light control, and decor. Very few will perform well in all three areas, so it's important to priorities which functions are most important to you.

Privacy protection

Privacy is obviously important, especially for windows in the front of your home that probably face a street or other public throughway's. Windows facing more private areas of a fenced yard, on the other hand might not need to provide much in the way of privacy.

Several window treatment designs can provide privacy. Blinds or thick most notably, but privacy can also be attained with use of window frostings or diffusers. These will however obstruct your view of the great outdoors.

Light control

Sunlight and glare needs to be controlled in the bedroom if sleeping comfort is interrupted by light entering through the windows. In a room where sunlight will interfere with TV watching or computer use needs window treatments that are effective in light control too.

Any room with items that can be damaged by the need window treatments that are good at controlling light. Any kind of artwork, antiques, or photographs can benefit from this protection. Even carpeting and can be damaged by the suns UV rays. Consider this when deciding on a window treatment type for any particular window.

Window tinting can be very effective at blocking UV rays. Other than that, window treatments that open and close easily are preferred - blinds, curtains etc. excel here.

Complementing the rooms decor

The decor of window treatments in any given room is more important to some of us than to others. If decor is not an issue for you, then some simple are inexpensive and effective at the other two criteria.

If decor is more important to you, then you can have your work cut out for you depending on taste. Curtains are available in almost any pattern and color of material. A little sewing experience can make a DIY curtain project a breeze, or perhaps you know someone who is willing to sew curtains to your specifications, using our preferred material.

Window treatments aren't just for decoration, light control, or privacy, but some level of all three.

No site is perfectly safe, but with a combination of common sense safeguards, you will stand less chance of having your privacy compromised.

Look for Security markers

A free dating site should have a clear statement on the site about what measures the web site owner has taken to protect users of the site from unwanted invasion of their personal privacy. The available technology today makes it possible for web site owners to provide comprehensive security and privacy measures to all the users. However, the members of the dating site must take responsibility for determining that the security exists on the site they are considering. Further, the security and must be in place at all times and at all levels of the site.

Use Common Sense

Use your common sense to protect your privacy always. Don't give away your , or other types of sensitive information. When you choose a free dating site, you don't need to worry about the wrong person getting the information about money and accounts you hold. You should never need to provide information of this sort with a free site. If you are asked to do so, the site is not free or is asking for unneeded information. Dating site members should never provide information of this site online.

Take your time

Don't be in a hurry to give information to those you meet at a dating site. They may be perfectly , but if you are not pressured about giving information to the web site master or by the members you will be protected from much of the risk. Take time to get to know other web site members gradually without rushing into the release of any information that is personal or sensitive. If you only provide the same type of information that you would give a , you will protect yourself.

Watch for inconsistencies

When you are getting to know others at a free dating site, you should be extra cautious about the stories that you learn about other members. Don't allow yourself to be drawn into a dangerous situation because someone is lying to you about their background and personality. It may be your intuition kicking into place or you may catch other inconsistencies from the conversation with the members, but don't ignore the information your gut gives you about another person or member. You can learn to be very selective about who you choose to further the relationship you start online.

Don't reveal personal information too soon

When you meet someone on a free dating site that you think may be a person of interest, you don't need to be in a hurry to give out telephone numbers or home addresses. Don't tell everything about where you work or where you go to school. In fact, don't tell any of your personal information if you don't know who will be reading it or learning about it on the internet.
You can protect your privacy best by only releasing information that is needed and only to those who have reason to know the information.If you are looking for tips about protecting your privacy on a Free Dating Site, visit the website at Dating Site now.
