URL Redirects and Forwarding from an SEO Perspective

There are many reasons for redirecting URLs: Web pages may have moved but their old URLs may still be bookmarked by visitors, indexed by search engines and back or reciprocally linked by other websites.

Without a redirect this traffic would be lost to a 404 Server Error, the website will not only lose visitors but search engine reputation (links, page-rank and possibly even its listing) as well.

There are several ways to redirect domains; however, some of them are not search engine friendly. The best way to redirect URLs is to use a 301 redirect, since major search engines like Google and Yahoo endorse 301 redirects. 

This article sums up URL redirection methods, along with pro's and con's.

THE ULTIMATE FIREFOX OPTIMIZATION GUIDE

Firefox may well be almost everyone’s favorite browser and while it’s not absolutely perfect, that doesn’t mean that it can’t be. I’ve compiled a list of the best tips, tricks, tweaks and fixes from the world of geeks.
This guide primarily applies to Firefox 3.5 but most of the fixes should work with older versions.

First WGA Now OGA! OMG!!!

As if Windows Genuine Advantage Validation wasn’t enough trouble.  For the past six months or so, I had been hearing reports of Microsoft Office users, receiving a message after opening Office applications such as Word, Excel and Outlook.  The message says that the copy of Office is not genuine and after 15 to 20 days renders the software inaccessible.  Sure! Microsoft wants to protect their software from piracy, but what really surprised me is that this message is, in some cases, affecting genuine Office users.

Luckily a crack has been released (Microsoft Genuine Advantage Crack).

This crack can fix Windows installations affected by WGA notifications, as well as Office applications affected by Office Genuine Validation.  Simply download the application and follow the onscreen instructions.  The crack is compatible with all versions of Windows and works fine with Windows Vista and 7 (run as admin).
