Are there any websites out there that explain it from the start? And promoting your website evolves so much.

Trouble writing your own SEO articles? Hire a writer!

JohnnyC — Sat, 17 Dec 2011 01:02:04 +0000

Writing high quality SEO articles is extremely popular. SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization, something that you probably have come across while researching article writing. A big reason for this is that it boosts business and makes your website stand out from the crowd if it’s done well. If you have a business that needs more clients or customers (like pretty much all businesses do) consider creating a blog for your main business website (or have a blog section on your business website – but a separate ’mini blog’ is better in my opinion since blog optimized websites such as blogger, wordpress etc already have their roots intertwined in the search engines. If you have a stand-alone blog, make sure you optimize the source code to be 100% compatible, like META tags and KEY words in order to get the highest possible ranking in search engines).

Writing SEO articles isn’t easy though. Think about anything you can think of regarding to your business and try to write a great unique high quality article about it no more than 600 words. Have like five or six of these articles on your blog and soon you will receive back links to your own website. The trick is to write those articles. Now if you don’t have the time or the skills to write such articles you can always hire a writer! It’s not expensive at all, for less than $10 an article you can have great content on your site that will drive traffic to your main page.

A site you should check out that has great feedback from various clients is Rhiannon’s Writing. Rhiannon is a published author that now offers her writing skills to the public to write incredibly high value SEO articles.

For less than $10 she will write a great article for you.

GISOL shutdown Cyrell forgood

JohnnyC — Sat, 27 Oct 2007 03:42:58 +0000

Without warning Global Internet Solutions (GISOL) , a wannabe hosting company has shut down my website cyrell.net as of today, which I had well established since 2003, and put it in ‘redemption mode’, whatever that may be. They have not notified me of this action, and the reasoning behind it is unclear. They will not respond to emails I sent to admin@gisol.com or sales@gisol.com. They hold my domain hostage so I can’t transfer it to a real provider. In other words, it’s done and over with! After 7 years being their loyal customer, and idiot that I am, they have brought cyrell.net down to it’s knees and destroyed it. An action that was unsuccessfully executed many many times up until now…
This of course will not go unpunished and I will do everything in my power to keep people away from GISOL.com. There are many anti GISOL sites out there and I’m gonna add one to that! This ‘company’ cannot do these illegal actions for many years unpunished by law. Hopefully other victims will stand up and break GISOL apart and make it a step closer to a better internet.

We’re done!

Soldier Of Fortune: Payback

JohnnyC — Wed, 10 Oct 2007 21:30:39 +0000

I have always been a huge fan of the Soldier Of Fortune series, mainly because the action in the first person shooter is so realistic! It’s first release for PC in 2000 was a huge hit, and I can’t remember how many hours I played single player and above all multiplayer… the game was just flat out fun! Then came Soldier of Fortune Double Helix, and now a brand new game is in the making; Soldier Of Fortune: Payback!

Little is known about this game other that it’s going to be released November 13 of this year for the PC, Xbox360 and PS3. I’m eager to see what kind of game this is going to be!

The following screenshots are from the PC version (so far only screenshots have been released)

Blogging through the Nintendo DS

JohnnyC — Mon, 01 Oct 2007 01:01:59 +0000

This update was made through my Nintendo DS! I got the wifi connection to work after switching my router to the old network setting that the DS is compatible with. So far I haven’t been able to find a working wifi location other then my house. I’m going to be in a different area tomorrow and hopefully it will work there… If not I have to return the software to the store because I thought there were way more hotspots available..

we’ll see

GTA IV new Euphoria engine looks incredible!

JohnnyC — Tue, 25 Sep 2007 17:31:58 +0000

A quick GTA IV update! The natural motion provided by the euphoria engine (which is by the way not a graphics engine but a Dynamic Motion Synthesis (DMS)) is amazing! No more pre-animated material! I can’t wait to see this in the actual game!
