The Importance of Search Engine Optimization
September 1, 2007
When you type in something in a search engine say Google for example, have you ever wondered why the #1 result is there and what is the difference between the first result for your search query as say 10 million other results all linking to an article on a possibly different website. As the CEO of a search engine optimization company, I will tell you the reason.
For all search engines, content is the king. If your article has the answer to a question being asked, more than likely your website would rank among the top results. But what is the difference between a #10 search result and a #1 result even though both might have the answer to the query. The difference is keyword optimization and link building which comes with trust from other websites in your site. Finally, the site with the #1 result could have a smart webadmin who probably employed a SEO firm to help him rank high in search engines.
Why is ranking high important? Well, for starters it brings in traffic as research has shown that people do not click beyond the 2nd page for most part when they search for something on a search engine.

January 2, 2007
TrueCrypt is a free open source disk encryption software that works on both Windows and Linux platforms. No data stored on an encrypted volume can be read (decrypted) without using the correct password/keyfile(s) or correct encryption keys. TrueCrypt does this by creating a virtual hard drive that will read and write encrypted files on the fly. The advantage of using TrueCrypt is that you need not download it everywhere. All you need are the files truecrypt.exe, truecrypt.sys and the volume file you create which you can carry on your flash drive.
Step by Step Tutorial on how to encrypt your Hard disk or data or message using TrueCrypt
Step # 1: Download and install TrueCrypt
Step # 2: Once you Launch TrueCrypt, Click on “Create Volume” button. This launches the Volume Creation wizard that prepares the encryped drive location. Next, choose ” Create a Standard TrueCrypt Volume” and hit Next. Next, click on “Select File“ button. Browse to a place where you want to store your encryped files. In this case, I am selecting askstudent.ajit Note: This is not the file you want to encrypt. Think of this as a Folder Name which in turn would contain the files you want to encrypt later on.
