Why i say this? well, i know im not updating this blog as much as i wanted, first because of the exams, but now for a different reason. I have passed all my exams and this week i have time to have fun. It is the “academic week” here in Viseu. I don’t know how it is in your country but i guess it is almost the same thing. It is a week with concerts and house sessions where all college students celebrate. Im going out every night to attend the concerts and the house sessions, with a sufficient amount of alcohol to make me “Happy”! lol
Bologna process and Alexa Ranking
March 8, 2008 By 2 Comments
Today’s post is a double post. First of all, i would like to say that my life is chaotic right now.
I have already told you that im on the final year of college. Recently, my college entered the Bologna Process. For those who don’t know what it is you can read about it on wikipedia.
This semester, i have a tight schedule. 8 weeks of intensive classes, mostly from 8am to 8pm. And off course, since it’s the bologna era, my teachers give us essays to elaborate. Right now, im with 7 works to complete, one being a seminar organized by us, and the other a presentation to a congress. And i can’t forget the final graduation essay, it is an investigation work and it will take almost a year to complete.
No more Alexa redirect

Finally, Alexa decided to finish with redirections.
Some bloggers speculated that by making every link from their blog to be redirect through alexa site would help lower the alexa rank. There was no proof that this really worked, but many bloggers insisted in using it.
But, in the past days, alexa made every redirect to give a 404 error code.
I tottaly agree with this. I dindn’t like when i visited a blog and noticed that it was using the alexa redirect. Put your self on the eyes of a potential advertiser. You visit a blog, and see that it as a good alexa rank, but then you find it is using the famous redirect! What would you think? How fake is the rank?
How to check Keyword rankings

On my previous post, i showed you what were the keyword rankings for my new mini sites.
But how do i know the rankings?
After a few questions i decided that it would be good to mention what tool i used to check keyword rankings.
The tool i use is: Keyword Position check from SEOCentro.
It delivers fast results for the keywords research from google, yahoo and msn, and it even tells you how related the keyword is with your domain, Url and page title.
Comment Sniper – Be the first to comment!
I have been using this week, a software called Comment Sniper. It is one of the best software that i have downloaded lately.
What is Comment Sniper?
Comment Sniper is a free software that allows it’s user to keep track of new posts of your favourite blogs. You just add the desired blogs to the tracking list (i have around 10 so far), choose the scanning interval (i use 5 minutes), and the software will alert you with a small popup on your lower right screen corner, every time it detects a new post on any of the blogs you added to the list.
