Cara Meningkatkan Rank Blog

Sedikit shering tentang bagaimana caranya supaya blog kita ramai pengunjung ,paling tidak blog kita di kunjungi beberapa orang saja , belajar dari pengalaman dulu blog saya sepi tidak ada pengunjungnya dan pengunjung setia hanyalah pemilikny saja , tapi sekarang sudah lumayan di bandingkan bulan-bulan sebelumnya .

Muncul pertanyaan kenapa blog anda sepi pengunjung :
kemungkinan blog tidak terurus atau jarang posting, bisa jadi juga  deskripsi blog tidak jelas ,tidak sesuai dengan judul blog.

Salah satu dari sekian banyak posting di blog yang memuat judul bagai mana cara membuat blog kita ramai pengunjung dan bagaimana cara meningkatkan terffic blog. ini salah satu trik untuk membuat blog menjadi ramai pengunjung

Tag Judul :

Harus berisi kata kunci yang relevan yang berkaitan dengan blog anda.

Deskripsi :
Jangan terlalu panajang menggunakan kata kunci maksimal yang di sarankan adalah 150 karakter,jika terlau panjang kemungkian akan di potong oleh search enggine.

Head Tag :
Webmaster menempatkan head tag mereka tepat setelah tag body. contohnya seperti ini  <h1> tag text </ h1>.

Kata kunci :
Jumlah karakter yang disaran kan adalah 250 karakter ,Jika memasang kata kunci terlalu banyak  dianggap spamming, saya sarankan untuk kata kunci harus berkaitan dengan tema blog anda.

Anchor Links :
Anchor Links adalah salah satu tag html yang paling penting diperlukan untuk mendapatkan peringkat di halaman mesin pencari , terutama di Google dan Msn. Anchor Links memungkinkan menghubungkan dokumen satu dangan yang lain dalam blog/website Anda.

hal yang terpenting untuk bloger adalah banyak-banyak berkunjung ke blog yang lain dan tuliskan komentar anda untuk mendapatkan backlink.
aktifkan sharing Button jejaring sosial seperti Facebook, Twitter, Tumbler dan Stumbled Upon, google +

Menambahkan aplikasi widget seperti Flag Counter, Url Monitor, Chat Box juga cukup membantu meningkatkan Traffic Blog.

Download spt v0.6.0 – Simple Phishing Toolkit

spt is a simple concept with powerful possibilities. It is what it’s name implies: a simple phishing toolkit.

The basic idea we (the spt project) had was that wouldn’t it be cool if there were a simple, effective, easy to use and free (most importantly!) tool that information security professionals could use to evaluate and train what we all know is the weakest link in any security minded organization: the people.

Since the founders of the spt project are themselves information security professionals by day (and possibly either LOL cats or zombies by night), they themselves faced the frustration of dealing with people within their own organizations that claimed to know better, but 9 times out of 10 fell for the most absurdly obvious phishing emails ever seen. A malware outbreak here, a stolen password and loss of critical organizational data there and the costs of dealing with the results of phishing can get to be astronomical pretty darn quickly!

Enter spt. spt was made from scratch, like a baby (or maybe a zombie) with the goal of giving over-worked and under-staffed information security professionals a simple tool (more like a framework, as we hope to add more features over time) that could be used to identify and train those weakest links. spt is a fully self-contained phishing email toolkit that can be installed, configured and phishing in less than 15 minutes. Its design is modular and open-ended allowing for future expansion and additional features via easy to snap-in modules that are simply uploaded in the administration dashboard. Why not try out spt today and see who your weakest link is?

Bittorrent Client Released uTorrent 3 Final

After what felt like an eternity, the final version of the popular lightweight Bittorrent client uTorrent 3 has been released today. The final version is build 25406 and existing users should see update notifications when they start their client on their system, or by manually checking for updates by selecting Help > Check for Updates. Users of uTorrent 2.x can download the latest version of the program from the official website, where it is available as a 32-bit and 64-bit application for the Microsoft Windows operating system.

The release notes are as usually available on the official forum. Version 3 of uTorrent adds features such as a portable mode, streaming, torrent ratings or drag and drop sending of files. The complete list of changes and fixes is available in the forum.

The drop files to send feature is incredibly easy to use. Just drop a file that you want to share on the drop area, and uTorrent will create the torrent for you. The program displays a tiny url link that the recipients of the file need to open. The torrent is then added to their uTorrent version. If they do not have uTorrent it is installed on their system.

Streaming needs to be activated in the uTorrent options before it becomes available. All suitable media players are automatically available for selection in the options.

The Stream button becomes then available in the torrent listing. A click on the button loads the stream url in the selected media player. It is then possible to play the media in the player directly, even if it has not been downloaded completely yet.

Depending on your previous version, you may see a different looking client with additional features that you had not had access to before. This includes uTorrent apps which more often than not provide access to media and file releases of companies and organizations. You find some apps among the available ones that add features to uTorrent, a chat for instance.

The getting started guide in the client seems to be new as well. It offers a step by step guide, a beginners guide and links to faqs and information about the program (correct me if I’m wrong here).

The developers have fixed a boat load full of issues, from crashes and stability issues over freezes and hangs to cpu optimizations.

Users should take a look at known issues before they update, if they want to make sure that the program works on their system without difficulties. The list displays confirmed problems and issues that are not fixed in the uTorrent 3.0 stable release.

Most of the bugs listed seem to be limited to display issues, only a few indicate stability issues.

On a personal note. I’m running uTorrent 3.0 since the first alpha and did not have a single problem ever since. The update to version 3.0 went without difficulties. Some users in the release thread are on the other hand reporting problems with the version.

Have you made the update to uTorrent 3.0 yet? What is your impression of the new version.

AppCleaner: A Better Temporary File Cleaner

AppCleaner is a new contender, created by the developers of the software updater Update Star. The program is currently offered as a beta version for all recent versions of the Windows operating system.

It displays a tabbed interface after installation and startup. The Cleaner tab lists the four sub-tabs Apps, Browsers, Registry and Windows. It uses the usual checkbox system to enable or disable cleaning of specific temporary files.

Here is a short overview of the available cleaning options:

• Apps: Java, Adobe Flash Player, 7-Zip, Internet, Multimedia, RegEdit, Remote Desktop
• Browsers: Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, Opera, including temporary files, cookies, internet history, login data and sessions.
• Registry: services, missing clsids, missing shared dlls, mui cache, run at startup, obsolete software, fonts
• Windows: Recent Documents, Clipboard, custom folders, dns cache, file fragments, temporary files

Each section offers additional options, but the overview should be enough to give you an understanding of the program capabilities. When you compare the offered cleaning options to CCleaner, you will come to the conclusion that they are almost on pair. UpdateStar offers to add custom file locations under Options > Custom Files just like CCleaner does. The latter has the excellent CCleaner Enhancer tool which adds about 300 additional programs to CCleaner automatically.

Some other things are missing in a direct comparison. It is for instance not possible to exclude cookies comfortably from the cleaning. While it is possible to ignore files or directories to prevent them from being cleaned, it is rather cumbersome to add them to the program. All you can use is the standard file and folder browser to exclude items.

A click on the analyze button checks all enabled items for temporary files and displays the findings in list form in the interface. AppCleaner displays the overall size of the temporary data as well as the name, size and amount of each individual item. A click on Clean deletes the temporary files on the system.

AppCleaner comes with three tools, a tool to uninstall software, to manage startup items and a third to manage system restore points. They are nice to have but only as comfortable as the default Windows tools for the job.

AppCleaner is a program to look out for. It is currently in beta and it is likely that the developers will continue working on it to improve it further. It is a solid CCleaner alternative. There is however no portable version available, which some users may see as a negative.

If you like the idea of testing another temporary file cleaner for Windows, you find the program download and further information at the developer website.

Firefox 5 Now Available for Download

Just three months after the release of Firefox 4, Mozilla has pushed out Firefox 5 for the desktop and Android devices.

That’s a big change from the two years it took to move from Firefox 3.5 to Firefox 4. Firefox 5 is part of Mozilla’s new rapid release development cycle. This cycle, which is more akin to what Google does with its Chrome browser, promises faster, more iterative updates. With any luck, Mozilla expects Firefox to hit version 7 by the end of the year.

Visually, Firefox 5 looks identical to Firefox 4. Everything we said in our Firefox 4 review applies to this release.

Rather than reinventing the wheel, Mozilla has added better support for web standards, fixed some bugs, made performance enhancements and added a few additional code touches.

The big new features, courtesy of the release notes include:

• Support for CSS animations


• Better visibility for the Do-Not-Track header preference


• Improved canvas and JavaScript support


• Better standards support for canvas, HTML5, XHR, MathML and SMIL


• Better tuned HTTP idle connection logic

In another move that mimics what Google does with Chrome, Mozilla now has more options for users who want to partake in the beta and testing process. In addition to nightly and beta channel releases, users can also opt to use the new Aurora channel, which will give users access to features before they hit beta, but with limited QA testing that you don’t get with nightly releases. This is akin to Chrome’s developer channel.

In my tests, Firefox 5 is fast — even faster than Firefox 4. I also love the more frequent update cycle, because it means that the browser will be more able to support the latest and greatest browser features.

To update to the latest Firefox, click on the “check for updates” button in the “About Firefox” menu. In the comments, let me know your thoughts of the new Firefox and its more frequent release cycle.

Hackers exploit latest Flash bug on large scale

Hackers are aggressively exploiting a just-patched Flash vulnerability, serving attack code "on a fairly large scale" from compromised sites as well as from their own malicious domains, a security researcher said Friday.

The attacks exploit the critical Flash Player bug that Adobe patched June 14 with its second "out-of-band," or emergency update, in nine days.

"CVE-2011-2110 is being exploited in the wild on a fairly large scale," said Steven Adair, a researcher with the Shadowserver Foundation, a volunteer-run group that tracks vulnerabilities and botnets. "In particular this exploit is showing up as a drive-by in several legitimate websites, including those belonging to various NGOs [non-government organizations], aerospace companies, a Korean news site, an Indian government Web site, and a Taiwanese university."

CVE-2011-2110 is the identifier for the Flash vulnerability assigned by the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures database.

Attackers are also using the exploit in "spear phishing" attacks aimed at specific individuals, said Adair on the Shadowserver site.

Adair called the attacks "nasty" because the exploit "happens seamlessly in the background," giving victims no clue that their systems have been compromised.

When Adobe patched the vulnerability last week, it conceded that exploits were already in use.

Adair also said there's been an increase in Flash-based attacks. "There has been an ongoing assault against Flash Player for several years now, but especially so in the last three months," Adair said.

Adobe has patched Flash Player four times in the last two months, and six times so far this year. Of the six updates, five addressed "zero-day" bugs that attackers were already exploiting at the time the patches were issued.

Brad Arkin, Adobe's director of product security and privacy, acknowledged the problems in keeping ahead of attackers, but blamed the popularity of Flash Player for the attention.

"The installed base [of Flash Player] is a real big part of it," said Arkin. "It's such a widely distributed technology that attackers find it worthwhile to invest the time to carry out some kind of malicious activity. They're making an investment for the biggest return possible."

Arkin also argued that attackers get more bang for their buck by rooting out Flash vulnerabilities than they do looking for bugs in individual browsers because virtually every personal computer has the Flash plug-in installed. "Flash is the code [used in the browser] that has the highest market penetration," he said.

According to Adair, the exploit of CVE-2011-2110 has been in use since June 9, five days before Adobe issued its latest security update. Arkin corroborated that timeline.

Although Adobe's working on boosting Flash's security -- it's collaborated with Google, for example, to sandbox Flash in Chrome -- for now, its best defense is to quickly react to exploits with a patch.

"I think we're more aggressive than Microsoft," said Arkin, referring to the two companies' approaches to shipping out-of-band updates. "Basically, if we have information about attacks in the wild, or if the information is out there on a [security] mailing list -- which means attacks are imminent -- that tends to be a trigger for us to think about an out-of-band."

Microsoft's criteria for deciding whether to issue an emergency patch is confidential, but the company has said it generally considers an out-of-band fix if it sees attacks increasing in volume.

By pushing out a patch as quickly as possible, Adobe believes it squelches discussion among security researchers and attackers.

"If there are attacks in the wild, there will be lots of blog posts analyzing the vulnerability and exploit," said Arkin. "The information migrates from the high end to the low end very quickly. So we squash the debate by fixing it."

Arkin said Adobe has focused on getting patches out quickly, and that the fix for an earlier Flash vulnerability -- one Adobe released June 5 -- had a turn-around of less than 72 hours.

"The more practice we have, the faster we turn around [patches]," Arkin said.

Adair urged everyone to keep Flash Player up-to-date. "If you or your organization runs Adobe Flash and you're not keeping up on these patches ... you are in bad shape," he said.

The newest version of Flash Player can be downloaded from Adobe's Web site. Alternately, users can run the program's integrated update tool or wait for the software to prompt them that a patched edition is available.

Nitro PDF Reader 2 Final Released

When it comes to pdf readers Windows users have lots of choices. From Adobe Reader over third party alternatives such as Sumatra or Foxit Reader to built-in pdf readers in browsers such as Google Chrome. When it comes to creating pdf documents, the choice shrinks significantly.

Nitro PDF Reader has received lots of praise in the past for its pdf viewing and creating capabilities. The developers today have released version 2 final of the program. A lot has changed compared to the previous version. Among the new features are browser plugins for Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer, a new thumbnail handler for Windows Explorer (32-bit) to generate better pdf previews and support for layers and rendering transparency in pdf fles.

The Nitro Reader features include abilities to fill out and save PDF forms, stamp a signature on a PDF, extract text and images, comment, highlight or strikeout text, and more. New enhancements to 2.0 include:

• QuickSign – import a scanned image of your handwritten signature to sign documents electronically in just seconds
• Microsoft Office Interface – Unlike other PDF Readers, the Nitro PDF Reader uses the same interface as Microsoft Office products, so users know exactly where to find things
• It’s faster – files open instantly, PDFs are created 4x times faster
• It’s lighter – using much less RAM in its runtime, even with multiple PDFs open
• Files are lighter – now the PDFs you send are half the size
• Browser integration – you can open and save PDF in popular browsers like IE 9.0 and Firefox 4.0 without having to switch back and forth between software programs

According to its developers, Nitro PDF Software is now creating pdf documents up to four times faster than its predecessor. It also lighter on computer memory and creates pdf documents that are lighter in size. A short test opening some pdf documents showed that Nitro PDF Reader 2 is about as fast as the lightweight pdf reader Sumatra when it comes to opening pdf documents. Keep in mind that the program offers additional functionality for viewing and creating pdf documents, that Sumatra does not offer.

Several issues have been resolved in the new version, including a memory leak that increased the memory usage during usage and a issue where multiple Nitro processed remained running on the system.

You can access the release notes of the new version here, provided in a pdf document.

Nitro PDF Reader 2 is available for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows client and server systems. The developers recommend one Gigabyte of ram and at least 300 Megabytes of available hard drive space.

You can download the latest version of Nitro PDF Reader 2 from the developer website. It is offered as a 32-bit and 64-bit version.

Apple Releases Final Cut Pro X

Apple has released Final Cut Pro X, the latest version of its professional video-editing software.

Apple showed off the new version of the software at NAB in April and video professionals were impressed not only with the new features, but with the new price. Final Cut Pro X is available in the Mac App Store for $299.99. To put that in perspective, the full version of Final Cut Studio from 2009 retailed for $999.99. Companion apps Motion 5 and Compressor 4 are available in the Mac App Store for $49.99 each.

Final Cut Pro X is a big update for the venerable editing suite, in no small part because it is now (finally) built with 64-bit support. That means that the app will be able to take advantage of the additional memory space in Mac OS X Snow Leopard and the upcoming Mac OS X Lion.

Apple has been a leader in professional video editing for the past decade, but in recent years, video pros have questioned the company’s commitment to the market. As a longtime Final Cut Pro user, I’ve grown frustrated with the product — and I’m not even a professional editor. In the past year, I have largely used Adobe Premiere CS5 for most projects, because of its speed and more modern featureset.

In a statement announcing the new version, Phil Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing, called Final Cut Pro X “the biggest advance in Pro video editing since the original Final Cut Pro.”

The big new feature is called the Magnetic Timeline, which takes a trackless approach to editing. Like Adobe, Apple has also put a lot of effort into what it calls Content Auto-Analysis, which is another way of saying that the software uses meta-tags to better organize and import content, based on shot type, media format and other information.

SUPERAntiSpyware Acquired By Support.com

SUPERAntiSpyware is one of those popular malware removal software that provide both free and paid version. Many users find the free version sufficient for all related tasks, while fewer find it necessary to upgrade to the professional version for extra features such as threat realtime blocking or daily definition updates. Most have used the program in addition to traditional antivirus solutions, and especially in cases where other security software have failed to resolve issues on a system.

The acquisition announcement on the SUPERAntiSpyware website may have come as a shock to many long time users of the free or paid version of the application.

Information are scarce at this point in time, the only useful bits from the announcement are that the whole team will join support.com in the near future. The post mentions that “some things will change” but does not go into details what those things might be. The press release at support.com includes additional information.

Support.com has paid $8.5 million in cash for SUPERAntiSpyware and plans to “expand SUPERAntiSpyware’s business with increased distribution and product enhancements”.

When you look at support.com’s offerings you will note that they provide tech support to consumers and businesses alike. Services include one-time fixed prices for support requests, or subscriptions plans for round the clock PC support.

Services include installing hardware, troubleshooting computer problems or removing viruses and spyware. SUPERAntiSpyware will be added to the list of programs the company offers directly to consumers and small businesses.

But what about the free version of the software? Will it still be around after the acquisition? According to SUPERAntiSpyware founder Nick Skrepetos it will.

Of course we will honor lifetime licenses and the free edition isn’t going away

So, users who have a lifetime license will keep their licenses and will continue to get updates, and free users will still get access to a free version of the application.

I’d give the company the benefit of the doubt, but we have seen acquisitions in the past were promises were made but not kept. Lets hope that this is not one of those cases.

Firefox 5 Around the Corner: To Be Release Soon

The official release date of Firefox 5 has been set to June 21, which is three days from today. If you do not want to wait until then to play around with the latest stable release of the popular web browser, you can go ahead and download the browser for your language and operating system from the official Mozilla ftp site. As with all releases that appear there, there is a slim chance of last minute bugs that could force Mozilla to pull the release and replace it with another one. If you want to be on the safe side, or want to upgrade or install Firefox 5 in a productive environment, it is better to wait until the official release announcement.

So what’s new in Firefox 5? The release notes list the following new features and changes:

• Added support for CSS animations
• The Do-Not-Track header preference has been moved to increase discoverability
• Improved canvas, JavaScript, memory, and networking performance
• Improved standards support for HTML5, XHR, MathML, SMIL, and canvas
• Improved spell checking for some locales
• Improved desktop environment integration for Linux users
• WebGL content can no longer load cross-domain textures
• Background tabs have setTimeout and setInterval clamped to 1000ms to improve performance
• The Firefox development channel switcher introduced in previous Firefox Beta updates has been removed

Those are almost exclusively under the hood changes, some may be noticeable on day to day like the improved performance.

It should be noted that Firefox 5 introduces HTTP Transaction sorting by CWND which can improve page loading times considerably. See Firefox 5 Gets Faster Connections, Up Next: Memory Improvements for an in depths review and explanation of that feature.

The do not head tracker preference has been moved to the Privacy tab to get more exposure. Users can activate it to send a “do not track” request to each website they open in Firefox.

The latest version of Firefox 5 can be downloaded from the official Mozilla ftp server. It is likely that most Firefox release mirrors will offer the new version on their servers as well.

Next in line is Firefox 6, which will be released in about three months time.
