As some of you know, I’ve had an ‘issue’ with the literally hundreds (maybe thousands?!) of ‘new experts’ that have come along in the past year in the web marketing space. I’ve written numerous posts in other places, such as my “Ten things you should ask your new SEO company”. In a post to the Google Webmaster Central blog on Monday, one fact was made ‘perfectly clear’. Google does not use the Meta Keyword tag as part of it’s scoring process for ranking purposes. The post was followed by a video by Google’s Matt Cutts (which I’ve embedded below). You may want to read the dialog in the comments on Cutts’ personal blog and / or the Google Webmaster Central Blog for more questions and answers. Google has been more and more transparent in recent years regarding their process for getting ‘rank’. I would urge those that think they should be ranking, that aren’t, to, at the very least, subscribe to the Google Webmaster Central RSS feed. Whether some chose to believe it or not, the fact is that SEO is essentially free advertising . Google currently is over 60 per cent of that market. The Cutts video is below.

Microsoft Free Antivirus Program Just Weeks Away

In a limited (very short window) public beta release just a few months ago, Microsoft introduced it’s predecessor to their paid antivirus program, OneCare . The team has been very active updating not only the core product but also releasing new virus definitions (almost daily) to beta testers using XP, Vista, and the Windows 7 RC and RTM. Known as Microsoft Security Essentials , the new program is not intended to be a replacement for commercially available products but rather to “provide comprehensive anti-malware protection from threats including viruses, spyware, rootkits, Trojans, and other emerging threats in a single lightweight anti-malware solution”. The program so far has been effective and uses a minimal amount of system resources and sports a clean and easy-to-use interface (pictured below): In a letter to beta testers just a few hours ago, Microsoft asked that everyone update to the latest core product (version 1.0.1500.0) prior to the public release ‘in a few weeks’ . It seems likely that the launch of Security Essentials is being timed close to, or just before the full public release of Windows 7 on October 22nd. Additional information on Microsoft Security Essentials can be found on the original page launch page here along with links to a few open forums. (Note: The download link in non-functional at this time). Members of Microsoft Connect can also access an information channel.

Google Friend Connect and MyBlogLog are back

One of my biggest beefs with Yahoo’s MyBlogLog’s latest blog widget was the ‘follower count’ …. but I missed seeing who was visiting the blog (and honestly I don’t care what the count is if you’re enjoying reading) …. It just looks lame to have double digits?! In reality, the blog world has significantly changed in the last six months, so even if I don’t blog every day like ‘the good old days’, I’m still here and I like the implementation Ian Kennedy oversaw at Yahoo! before heading to greener pastures (at Nokia). Ian, like many others, were frequent visitors here back then which helped the blog gain credibility. (Wow … Two mentions of Yahoo! in one day!? …. On the Google ‘Friend Connect’ front … It’s no secret that I have a lot of ‘Google’ in my portfolio. Same complaint here though … A little slow out of the gate with Friend Connect, and unless you spend a small portion of your life networking day and night, your follower count may look …well … cruddy. So … here we go again. They’re both back in the very lower right hand margin. Why? I’m curious what happens taking them back live at this juncture and combining them with the ongoing experiment with the very cool Wibiya beta bar at the bottom. Another day …. another experiment. Great weekend all. Charlie

ReadyBoost in Windows 7 – It Rocks

With the official launch of Windows 7 just a few weeks away, I thought it might be a good time to take a look at some overlooked and improved features that were first introduced in Windows Vista. Far and away the least mentioned and most effective carryover for many may very well be ReadyBoost , particularly in the case of enterprise deployment .. and a few ‘older’ PCs. One of the boxes I tested Windows 7 on would be considered ‘legacy’ at this stage. A single core processor, 1 GB of RAM onboard and shared graphics memory. Honestly, while I expected a little ’search’ for some drivers, I wasn’t sure if any of the versions would work at all. The ‘Beta’, RC, and Enterprise version all ran fine and at about the same speed as XP. Memory intensive graphics and video were a challenge but still an improvement over XP using the latest Windows 7 drivers. Then came the magic. ReadyBoost. I plugged in an 8 GB flash drive (ReadyBoost certified … IE: 1 ms or less access time) and dedicated the drive to ReadyBoost via the pop-up dialog. Microsoft should be talking more about this. Not only did ReadyBoost under Windows 7 improve overall system performance and speed, but it literally felt like I had changed the CPU or added more memory. On the same computer, XP was now a very slow ‘turtle’. There was absolutely no comparison in access times, video or graphics. I’m not encouraging installation of the operating system on computers with less than the recommended system resources but if you ‘need’ to push one or two boxes on your network to ‘the next level’, ReadyBoost might be the answer. (In the chance that it isn’t, obviously back everything up first?!). On to other stuff … Vista also introduced the ‘Snipping Tool’. After a little networking last night, apparently I’m not the only one that missed it entirely. Bottom line …. Screen capture (with annotation) is build into the operating system. Couple that with a significantly upgraded version of yes, Microsoft Paint, and you can actually do some pretty neat stuff without launching another ‘big’ program. (Left – ‘Snipped’ on the fly while writing this piece) Like any other operating system, Windows 7 is going to behave differently with different hardware configurations. It’s a pretty safe bet that if your box ran well (or great) with Vista, it should not only ‘like’ Windows 7, but from everything I’ve experienced to date, it should find all the drivers you need automatically. Finally a suggestion. After visiting your PC manufacturer’s website, take an inventory of your computer’s components and head over to the component manufacturer’s website(s) to see if any newer Windows 7 specific drivers have been released for your chipset(s), wireless adapter, audio, etc. As has been the case for me since the initial release of the Windows 7 Beta …. you may get a very pleasant surprise.

TweetDeck has rolled out yet another new version – Version 0.30.1. Some of the new additions to the TweetDeck landscape: 1) The online TweetDeck (Beta) Directory makes it easy to find people you may want to follow by category going beyond the limited (and somewhat controversial) ‘SUL’ (or Suggested User List) and …. the directory’s individual categories can be added to your Tweetdeck client with one click from the web. (Kinda cool 2) The new version of TweetDeck adds support for MySpace. There are other changes including drag and drop for links and photos and improved support for Facebook. The complete list can be found at the company blog here . You can download the latest (free) version of TweetDeck here .
