So how many of you got hit by Google?

by Tricia

The other day when I saw sites across the board having their page rank lowered by Google I started to not feel quite as bad about losing some of my page rank. Hey, after all, it seems just about everyone’s in the same boat!

There’s been a lot of speculation as to what caused Google to hit so many sites by lowering their page ranks. Everything from speculation as to whether it was caused by paid links or networking too many sites and so on.

I run one of the Do follow blogrolls. Well, I think the only do follow blogroll and I’ve had a few people decide to drop off the list as a result of the google hits. Personally I don’t think being do follow has anything to do with all of our PR loses. I mean, I’ve been a do follow blogger for almost two years and this is the first time I’ve ever taken a google hit!

Well, ok, the last update my html based website went from a PR5 to a PR4 but I believe that was mostly because I hadn’t updated the site with any new articles for a long while. Hey … it’s got about 1000 pages – how much more can I write about exotic pet keeping on the site anyway? Really!

But this time around? Every single site I own, even ones that I do not sell links of any kind on have been hit!

Oh well, like I said, it looks like we’re all in the same boat. It will be interesting to see what happens if Google ever gets around to doing a proper page rank update.

The trouble is, if they really are upset with those that sell links or who have committed some other kind of infraction against Google … well that’s just going to make people get better at hiding what they are doing. I can see people starting to use code or cipher to encrypt their links to mask what they are doing.

Don’t you see something like that happening too? I mean, no one’s just going to give in and stop making the money that they have been just because of Google are they?

Barracuda Networks signs license agreement with OIN

by Tricia

On October 2nd Barracuda Networks announced that it had signed a license agreement with Open Invention Networks. Open Invention Networks (OIN) launched in 2005 as an intellectual property company that specializes in acquiring patents and ensuring their availability in order to further the Linux System.

Several companies have now become licensees of OIN in order to help ensure that Linux-Based and open source intellectual properties get the protection they deserve.

It’s important that developers of Linux-based programs and open source intellectual properties work in a legally protected environment and partnerships such as the one being created between Barracuda networks and Open Invention Networks will go a long way towards ensure that new Linux based software continues to be created and that businesses will continue to invest in Linux and Open Source.

Barracuda Networks has been an active member in the open source and free software communities. They’ve also combined their own technology with various open source programs in order to provide easy to use security applications such as their Enterprise Class Spam Filter, Spam Firewall, web filters and load balancers.

I could have saved money if I’d used CouponChief

by Tricia

Earlier this month I bought some computer related accessories. I think I got a good deal on them, but if I’d really been a savvy shopper I would have thought to check for coupons or coupon codes at CouponChief first. You know those old V8 commercials where people are banging their hand to their head saying “I could have had a V8!”? Well I’m doing that right about now, but I’m saying I could have got a better deal!

You see, CouponChief.com has listings for thousands of popular stores. Not just stores that sell computer goods either. They’ve got stores listed that sell everything from clothing to home decor, to business supplies to pet products and so on.

Now that I’ve remembered about CouponChief I decided to play devils advocate to see if I might have found some coupon codes for the external 380 gb drive that I purchased, and for the HP 12 cell lithium battery that I needed to get for my laptop so that I could work on it for longer periods of time while it was unplugged.

You know what? I found Best Buy coupon deals that could have saved me 20% on SimpleTech external and portable hard drives. That’s not the brand I purchased, but had I known I might have taken a good look at that companies portable hard drives.

I also found Circuit City deals that could have saved me money on some of the computer related items I’ve purchased recently too.

I think I’m going to put a sticky note on my computer monitor reminding me to check CouponChief.com first before I buy any more things online.
