Make an invisible Folder

2009-03-07T23:33:00.001-08:00

Right click
Make new folder
Use backspace to remove the name
Press alt+255 or its alt+0160 then press enter.
Use number keys which are on right side of keyboard.

THEN....

# To get rid of the icon right click on the folder, select properties, go to customize, and look for the blank icon... then change the icon to a blank icon.
# You now have an invisible folder!

In order to delete the folder you'll need to rename it in the command prompt by typing:

ren " " foldername

That's not a space in between the quotes. You need to press ALT+1060 OR alt 255. You'll then be able to delete the folder.

101 Useful Run Commands

2009-03-07T23:29:00.000-08:00

Guys do you use the Run feature in Windows XP? For most, this feature remains unused (or rarely used). Why is that? Well, First off nearly all of the Run Commands Correspond to a particular Control Panel Item or a Utility, Tool or Task that can be accessed through Windows. There are, however, tools and utilities that I bet you never knew you had that can be accessed through the Run feature. The main reason most people don't use the Run feature is because they don't know the Commands. So, to solve that problem, I decided to put together the following listing, which lists 101 Run Commands and what they correspond too...

Egogoogling: Susan Is…

2007-12-14T08:36:00.000-08:00

Have you ever searched for your own name on Google, curious what
the world has to say about you? Almost everyone of us did, one time
or another. In fact, you should – maybe others search for you all the
same, and you want to know what they will find.
The act of searching for yourself is also known as “egogoogling.”
Here’s a variant of it which can be a fun game. Enter your first name
followed by the word “is” into Google, and put the search in quotes.
For example, if your name is Susan, the search would look like this:
“susan is”
Now in the search result snippets, you will learn a lot of things about
you that you didn’t even know! For the name “Susan,” we get the
following:
Susan is an amazing person to work with!
Susan is an ethical woman and is refusing to cooperate
Susan is a very attractive young lady (with a boyfriend) who for
some reason is always late.
Susan is a top Florida residential real estate agent.
Susan is a top producer specializing in the ski resort town of
Breckenridge, as well as the surrounding area.
Not only can you apply this approach to find out more about yourself
(or just have a good laugh, actually, as the results are likely to be about
another person), you can also use this to find out about celebrities. To
do so, enter the full celebrity name followed by the word “is” into
Google, and put it in quotes again:
“arnold schwarzenegger is”
For action movie star Arnie, we get these results:
Arnold Schwarzenegger is a very talented man who would
make an excellent governor.
Arnold Schwarzenegger is falling into a similar spiral.
Arnold Schwarzenegger is looking out for voters’ best
interests.
Arnold Schwarzenegger is a man more familiar with the red
carpets of a movie premiere than a white collar business seminar.
Arnold Schwarzenegger is terrifying as the “killer cyborg” who
“looks like Death rendered in steel.”
Arnold Schwarzenegger is The Terminator (T-800).
Arnold Schwarzenegger is quickly discovering that life in
politics doesn’t always produce the happy endings so common in
many of his Hollywood blockbusters.
Note that you can use “stars in,” “was born in” and similar glue words
instead of “is” to find out almost anything about a celebrity. You can
even expand the idea to include things, not people… try searching for
“Nikon cameras are” and similar queries.
If you don’t have Google near you, here are some popular male and
female names with their “egogoogled” results.

A Brief History of Googlesport

2007-11-13T21:04:00.000-08:00

It may be that all games are silly. But then, so are humans.
– Robert Lynd

People today often participate in a challenge called “Search Engine
Optimization contests.” In a nut-shell, the goal of these contests is to
get to be the top ranked page in the Google search results for a given
term or phrase. In order to not disturb “normal” search results,
contests often take nonsensical words as their target. While in the
beginning I was often taking part in these contests myself, after many
lessons learned (including a contest for the nonsense phrase “Seraphim
Proudleduck”) today I do not participate in them anymore. But before
we jump into the history of search engine optimization contests, let’s go
back several thousand years and start recapping the history of search
engines themselves.

B.C-1956: The Dawn of Computing
Before Christ, there was the counting aid Abacus. Some centuries later,
in 1642, Blaise Pascal builds a mechanical calculator. Around 1820,
Charles Babbage follows-up with his steam-powered Difference
Engine, and Countess of Lovelace Augusta Ada Byron is pondering
programming it after having met him.
The first computer (a programmable calculator) by German engineer
Konrad Zuse is completed in 1941.
Britain and USA take over the computing technology field with
Colossus, ENIAC, the transistor (by Bell Telephone), and UNIVAC –
the “Universal Automatic Computer.”

1957-1990: The Internet
In 1957, ARPA (the Advanced Research Projects Agency, within the
Department of Defense, DoD) is created to foster US technology.
Some ten years later, DARPA marks the beginnings of the Internet.
Intel is founded in ‘68, Doug Engelbart spends time show-casing his
revolutionary ideas of word processing, and a year later, Xerox creates
the equally revolutionary think tank PARC, the Palo Alto Research
Center. Universities are slowly being connected together via
ARPANET in 1969. In 1977, Apple II is born, followed by the IBM
PC in ‘81. 1984, the year of cyberpunk novel Neuromancer, sees the
introduction of the Domain Name System (DNS).
In the late ‘80s, the number of Internet hosts breaks 100,000, and
people are starting to get lost. In 1990, before the days of the World
Wide Web, McGill University student Alan Emtage creates FTP
indexing search tool Archie. One year later, Mark McCahill introduces
the alternative Gopher. Veronica (Archie’s girlfriend in the comic
books, and the “grandmother of search engines”) appears on the scene
in 1992, spidering Gopherspace texts, and Jughead arrives in ‘93.

1990-1993: WWW, and WWWW
In the meantime, the World Wide Web, created by Tim Berners-Lee
and released by CERN (the European Organization for Nuclear
Research) in ‘91, is starting to take off. And 1993, the year the first web
browser Mosaic takes the world by storm, also sees the first acclaimed
web robot, Matthew Gray’s World Wide Web Wanderer. Martijn Koster
announces meta-tag spidering Aliweb in late ‘93.

1994: Search Engines See the Light
The World Wide Web is becoming the most important internet service.
Pizza can be ordered online, and soon Sun will give birth to Java
programming technology. (The Java motto was “write once, run
everywhere,” but frustrated programmers around the world later
changed it to “write once, debug everywhere.”)
In early 1994, Jerry Yang and David Filo of Stanford University start
Yahoo! in an attempt to exert some kind of order on an otherwise
anarchic collection of documents. (The word Yahoo is short for "Yet
Another Hierarchical Officious Oracle," but was pretty much looked
up randomly in a dictionary by the two Yahoo founders – the two
creators say they liked the name because they considered themselves
yahoos.)
Some months later in Washington, Brian Pinkerton’s WebCrawler is
getting about its work; over at Carnegie Melon, Dr. Michael Maldin
creates Lycos (the name comes from the Latin wolf spider).

1995-1997: Dot-Com Rising

More and more search engines appear. There’s Metacrawler, Excite (in
late 1995), AltaVista (late 1995), Inktomi/ HotBot (mid-1996), Ask
Jeeves and GoTo. Yahoo, actually a directory, is the leader, but
AltaVista – meaning “a view from above,” and being a wordplay on
(Palo) Alto-Vista – launched in 1995 and brought some fierce
competition. In 1997 AltaVista was bought by Compaq and we have
some right to assume this and a resulting lost focus brought its
downfall.

1998-2002: Google et al
It’s late 1998. Stanford’s Larry Page and Sergey Brin reinvent search
ranking technology with their paper “The Anatomy of a Large-Scale
Hypertextual Web Search Engine” and start what some time later
becomes the most successful search engine in the world: Google (Larry
misspells “Googol,” which is a really large number, and Sergey draws
the colorful logo on his own using the free GIMP painting software).
The uncluttered interface, speed and search result relevancy were
cornerstones in winning the tech-savvy people, who were later
followed by pretty much everyone looking for something online. Other
contenders, like MSN, are left in the dust. In September 1999, Google
leaves Beta.
Search engine optimization in the meantime becomes a bigger and
bigger business, with experts and amateurs alike trying to boost
rankings of websites, more often than not for commercial reasons.
In 2000, Yahoo and Google become partners (Yahoo is using Google’s
search technology on their own site for a while). In late 2000, Google
is handling over 100 million daily search requests.
In 2001, AskJeeves (which dropped the “Jeeves” in the meantime)
acquires Teoma, and GoTo is renamed to Overture.

2003-Now: The Dawn of Search Engine Contests
It’s hard to tell which search engine contest truly was first. People have
been competing to get on top of search results for commercial reasons
pretty much since the invention of search engines, and the employed
tactics are called “Search Engine Optimization.” But so-called “SEO
contests” are created mostly to have fun, and to shed more light on
Google’s ranking secrets – and potential methods for abusing those
rankings. At times, there were also prizes up for grabs during the
contests. Some of those even got handed over to the winner (not all,
mind you – it’s a fun sport in a shady environment!).
Today, there are so many different SEO contests going on at any given
time it’s hard to keep track of them all. I’ll list some of the first, some
of which I participated in myself with the weblog “Google
Blogoscoped.”

2004: SERPs
SERPs is short for “Search Engine Result Pages” (completely
coincidentally, it also means “State Earnings-Related Pension
Scheme”). It was the target keyword for a search engine optimization
contest. A group of people, myself included, started the challenge in a
search engine discussion group and came up with the term “SERPs”
on January 16, 2004. The term was both self-referential, which was
fun, and relatively harmless (presumably not a lot of people were
searching for it, as there were only 30,700 pages prior to the contest –
that may sound much, but it’s only about 1/10th the page count a
search for pink speaker manuals yields).
I started my own entry as a normal blog post in “Google
Blogoscoped,” wanting to see how it would fare in the contest (it was
pushed out of the top ten pretty soon). However the leading entry on
Google’s blogging community Blogspot was deserted by its owner,
Sam, and I was able to open up a site with the same name, thus sitting
on his top-ranked page now. Sam’s tactic (which included leaving a lot
of links in website guest-books, an approach rightfully deemed spam)
made his page the winner on February 16th, 2004.

Kebapgraz
The “Kebapgraz” SEO competition owes its name to “Döner Kebap,”
a Turkish dish popular in Germany and Austria, and the Austrian city
Graz. Most of the participants of this challenge were from Germany
or Austria, using German-language pages. The contest started on June
16, 2004, as a follow-up to a previous challenge for
“Haltezeitmessungen.” Linkfarms (a large group of interlinked
websites trying to increase their Google PageRank) or other kind of
spam were not allowed in this contest. The end date was September
10, 2004, and the amount of web pagescontaining the word went from
0 to 167,000 later on. A German wiki entry (a wiki usually is a
encyclopedia-style website which everyone can help edit) was inhibiting
the top rank for almost all the time, only to be pushed to number two
in a 24 hour period starting shortly before the end date.
The contest was started by David Reisner, aged 17, from Austria. “One
day I thought, there are some funny contests going on, but there was
no Kebap on the web” David said. I asked him for lessons learned, and
he answered one should think about the exact competition rules
beforehand to avoid some longer fights he’s been through. He added:
“In SEO there is a nice tip: give and you will be given, be it advice,
links or content.”

Schnitzelmitkartoffelsalat and Gepardenforellen
Yet another German-language Google contest was the hunt for
“Schnitzelmitkartoffelsalat” (which translates to steak with potato salad).
It was started by Steffi Abel on November 15, 2002, in a German
discussion group. At that time the word Schnitzelmitkartoffelsalat did not
return any pages in Google. More than three years later, 22,000
occurrences can be found. According to German webmaster Lars
Kasper, who covered the challenge on his website, variations of the
Schnitzelmitkartoffelsalat challenge included the nonsense words
“Telefondesinfizierstudium” (the study of phone desinfection) and
“Walnichtfischmitkartoffelsalat” (whale, not fish, with potato salad).
Some time later, German Googlesport really took off with the creation
of the “Hommingberger Gepardenforelle” contest (“Gepardenforelle”
translates to “Homminghill leopard trout”). It was launched by
Germany’s biggest IT magazines (on- and offline) and the two
keywords today return almost 3 million web pages.

Mangeur de Cigogne
And then, there was a French Googlesport contest for the phrase
“Mangeur de Cigogne.” Launched by Promo-Web, the games began in
March 2004, and were to be ended in June 15 2004. This might have
been one of the weirdest and most obsessive of all search engine
optimization contests. And naturally, because most content was
French, you couldn’t understand a word of what happened unless you
were fluid in this language.
So what does “Mangeur de Cigogne” mean? It literally translates to
“eaters of stork.” But, according to Jerome Chesnot from the south of
France, “It means nothing really. This string was chosen to not pollute
Google results.”
Jerome held the 1st place in this competition for the 15 last days, but
then came in second. He told me Mangeur de Cigogne was “really a good
experience ... in terms of HTML optimization and other technical
things.”

Nigritude Ultramarine
“Nigritude Ultramarine” was arguably the biggest SEO contest that
ever took place. It received enormous coverage including articles on
Wired.com and tech site Slashdot. The competition was started by
SEO company DarkBlue (hence the name “Nigritude Ultramarine,”
which is another way to say “dark blue”).
Blogger Anil Dash nearly won the top rank in the first round ending
June 7, 2004 with a blog entry (the second round prize, a 17” LCD flat
screen, went to the aggressive contenders of a web discussion forum).
Anil’s post was linked from various other high-profile blogs who
wanted to push a friend up the Google rankings. Anil wanted to prove
that good old content – as opposed to sleazy optimization tactics – is
king, and he was successful in doing so.
As I’m writing this, there are around 215,000 web pages containing the
phrase “Nigritude Ultramarine.” Anil Dash is still number one.

A Short Guide to SEO
So how do you win these search engine optimization contests in the
first place? This depends on the search engine, but for Google, heavy
“on-page” optimization is futile in a competitive environment, and all
depends on “off-page” optimization.
To explain, “on-page” optimization means you create a page which
repeats the target keywords in a variety of places, in the meta keywords,
in the title, in page headings and so on. What you do on your page
might have an effect on the human reader – which is indeed important
– but it’s of little value to the Googlebot and the way Google ranks
your site. For competitive keywords, all that Google is interested in is
this: how many important pages link to your page using the target keywords
as link text?

If you can get a lot of valuable “backlinks” from authoritative web
pages (say, a mainstream news site, or a #1 blog for an industry), then a
high ranking will come naturally. So, the real key is to get good
backlinks (ideally links containing the target keywords). Not necessarily
1000s of them; it’s of more value to get a dozen high-value backlinks,
then a million low-value backlinks. For example, Google pretty much
ignores it when you create 100,000 backlinks from your website A
which point to your website B (and creating such a huge amount of
links is not too hard with the help of server-side programming). Google
understands that such “close-knit” networks aren’t showing natural
authority – they might easily be faked by so-called spam farms… and
spamming is one thing Google in their rankings try to avoid.
Now how do you get all those links from others? Here, we need to
forget about technical optimization for a second. What’s important now
is to have great web page content, and to make it be known to the right
people – not by mass-mailing everyone and their dog, but by submitting
your link to blogs on the subject, emailing the right people, pitching
your story to mainstream news sites, or sharing it in newsgroups or web
forums relevant to your site. Outside of an SEO competition, that
means you need to understand a community, be part of it, and help
others. People won’t link to boring and perhaps over-optimized pages,
but people will link to pages that help them (or make them laugh). They
link to a tutorial, a good read, a funny video, a cartoon, or an interesting
photo. Within the scope of an SEO competition, it’s also likely that
people simply link to a friend. If you’re actively participating in making
the web a better place for all (content is king!), you’ll also be getting
your share of “link love.”

The Google Snake Game

2007-11-13T20:58:00.000-08:00

Play with Google

Here’s a party game which needs nothing but a working internet
connection (say, a notebook or cell phone), and Google.com’s web
search. The goal is to create the longest phrase that Google can find by
alternately adding one word to the end of the other player’s search
phrase. Say, the first person starts with “Feelings”. Now the second
person adds a word, “are”, so we get “Feelings are”... (Note the use of
quotation marks in the search query.)
Now every time a word is added, the phrase is searched for in Google,
and the resulting page count is announced to the group. The one
person who creates a sentence with zero results in Google loses and has
to do something silly (or if you want to play with points, he loses a
point, and the last person who created a sentence with results in Google
will win a point). To prevent cheating, the one whose turn is next is not
allowed to look at any search result snippet.
Let’s take our sample, and see what we get:
Peter: “Feelings” (53,200,000 results in Google)
Mary: “Feelings are” (2,100,000 results)
Jake: “Feelings are nothing” (1,090 results)
Susan: “Feelings are nothing and” (19 results)
Peter: “Feelings are nothing and we” (0 results)
Susan gets 1 point, and Peter gets minus 1 points (or has to do
something silly).
If you create too obscure a sentence there won’t be any results and you
will lose, but if your sentence gets too many results, your opponent will
also be able to create a sentence with results. The basic strategy is to try
to create sentences so silly that there are only a few results, but not so
silly there are no results…

7 Clever Google Tricks Worth Knowing

2007-10-12T08:54:00.000-07:00

Below I have compiled a list of 7 clever Google tricks that I believe everyone should be aware of. Together I think they represent the apex of the grand possibilities associated with Google search manipulation tricks and hacks. Although there are many others out there, these 7 tricks are my all-time favorite. Enjoy yourself.

1. Find the Face Behind the Result – This is a neat trick you can use on a Google Image search to filter the search results so that they include only images of people. How is this useful? Well, it could come in handy if you are looking for images of the prominent people behind popular products, companies, or geographic locations. You can perform this search by appending the code &imgtype=face to the end of the URL address after you perform a standard Google Image search.

Examples (notice the differences in each URL):

2. Google + Social Media Sites = Quality Free Stuff – If you are on the hunt for free desktop wallpaper, stock images, Wordpress templates or the like, using Google to search your favorite social media sites is your best bet. The word “free” in any standard search query immediately attracts spam. Why wade through potential spam in standard search results when numerous social media sites have an active community of users who have already ranked and reviewed the specific free items that interest you. All you have to do is direct Google to search through each of these individual social media sites, and bingo… you find quality content ranked by hundreds of other people.

Examples:

3. Find Free Anonymous Web Proxies – A free anonymous web proxy site allows any web browser to access other third-party websites by channeling the browser’s connection through the proxy. The web proxy basically acts as a middleman between your web browser and the third-party website you are visiting. Why would you want to do this? There are two common reasons:

You’re connecting to a public network at a coffee shop or internet café and you want privacy while you browse the web. You don’t want the admin to know every site you visit.
You want to bypass a web content filter or perhaps a server-side ban on your IP address. Content filtering is common practice on college campus networks. This trick will usually bypass those restrictions.

There are subscription services and applications available such as TOR and paid VPN servers that do the same thing. However, this trick is free and easy to access from anywhere via Google. All you have to do is look through the search results returned by the queries below, find a proxy that works, and enter in the URL of the site you want to browse anonymously.

Examples:

4. Google for Music, Videos, and Ebooks - Google can be used to conduct a search for almost any file type, including Mp3s, PDFs, and videos. Open web directories are one of the easiest places to quickly find an endless quantity of freely downloadable files. This is an oldie, but it’s a goodie! Why thousands of webmasters incessantly fail to secure their web severs will continue to boggle our minds.

Examples:

5. Browse Open Webcams Worldwide – Take a randomized streaming video tour of the world by searching Google for live open access video webcams. This may not be the most productive Google trick ever, but it sure is fun! (Note: you may be prompted to install an ActiveX control or the Java runtime environment which allows your browser to view certain video stream formats.)

Examples:
- Axis Webcams: inurl:/view.shtml or inurl:view/index.shtml
- Cannon Webcams: sample/LvAppl/
- MOBOTIX Webcams: control/userimage.html
- FlexWatch Webcams: /app/idxas.html
- JVC Webcams: intitle: intitle:”V.Networks [Motion Picture(Java)]”
- More info. - More info.

6. Judge a Site by its Image – Find out what a site is all about by looking at a random selection of the images hosted on its web pages. Even if you are somewhat familiar with the target site’s content, this can be an entertaining little exercise. You will almost surely find something you didn’t expect to see. All you have to do is use Google’s site: operator to target a domain in an image search.

Examples:

7. Results Based on Third-Party Opinion - Sometimes you can get a better idea of the content located within a website by reading how other websites refer to that site’s content. The allinanchor: Google search operator can save you large quantities of time when a normal textual based search query fails to fetch the information you desire. It conducts a search based on keywords used strictly in the anchor text, or linking text, of third party sites that link to the web pages returned by the search query. In other words, this operator filters your search results in a way such that Google ignores the title and content of the returned web pages, but instead bases the search relevance on the keywords that other sites use to reference the results. It can add a whole new dimension of variety to your search results.

Examples (notice the added variety between search results):
allinanchor:”google hacks” vs. basic search for Google hacks
allinanchor:”wordpress exploits” vs. basic search for Wordpress exploits
More info.

Bonus Material:

Here is a list of my favorite Google advanced search operators, operator combinations, and related uses:

link:URL = lists other pages that link to the URL.
related:URL = lists other pages that are related to the URL.
site:domain.com “search term = restricts search results to the given domain.
allinurl:WORDS = shows only pages with all search terms in the url.
inurl:WORD = like allinurl: but filters the URL based on the first term only.
allintitle:WORD = shows only results with terms in title.
intitle:WORD = similar to allintitle, but only for the next word.
cache:URL = will show the Google cached version of the URL.
info:URL = will show a page containing links to related searches, backlinks, and pages containing the url. This is the same as typing the url into the search box.
filetype:SOMEFILETYPE = will restrict searches to that filetype
-filetype:SOMEFILETYPE = will remove that file type from the search.
site:www.somesite.net “+www.somesite.net” = shows you how many pages of your site are indexed by google
allintext: = searches only within text of pages, but not in the links or page title
allinlinks: = searches only within links, not text or title
WordA OR WordB = search for either the word A or B
“Word” OR “Phrase” = search exact word or phrase
WordA -WordB = find word A but filter results that include word B
WordA +WordB = results much contain both Word A and Word B
~WORD = looks up the word and its synonyms
~WORD -WORD = looks up only the synonyms to the word
