Facebook Spam to Untag Yourself in YouTube Video

Today I received a wall post from one of my very close friend and the post was associated with a YouTube video with the message "wtf divakar you should untag yourself in this video". I opened the video but that was not playing and following message was written inside the video:-

Click You Address Bar
Press Ctrl + V
Press Enter

I very much surprised that what is this and also posted comment that this video is not playing.

Again after some time I received another wall post from some other friend with little bit change in massage "WTF!! divakar I can't believe you're in this vid". Again video was not opening and same above massage was showing.

After this I thought that there is something fishy behind this wall post and I guessed that it must be some kind of Spam. I started searching and found that my guess is correct. Many people was attacked this kind of spam which comes with different related messages. So please don't click on any of your wall post having video with any of the following type of massage:-

1. OMG name you should untag yourself in this vid
2. OMG name why are you in this vid
3. hey name you look so stupid in this vid
4. hey name why are you in this vid
5. hey name i can’t believe youre tagged this vid
6. ROTFL name what are you doing in this vid
7. Yo name why are you tagged in this vid
8. Yo name I can’t believe you are tagged in this vid
9. WTF name you should untag yourself in this vid
10. WTF name what are you doing in this vid
11. WTF name you look so stupid in this vid

The main aim of this spam wall post is to get the user click on the Video which actually does not load any video but infects the user as victim and now similar posts will be posted on the victim’s friends wall.

My main motive about this blog post is to aware the user about this spam and I would like to suggest peoples not to click on such type of spam wall post. Also please just report this video as spam and remove this spam from your news feed.

On-Page SEO Tips for Better Search Engine Optimization

I have faces many challenges while optimization websites on different themes. So as per my experience in the SEO industry I am writing 21 SEO tips for better search engine optimization. These useful search engine optimization tips are:-

  1. Website should have clear hierarchical link structure and every page should be reachable from at least one static text link.

  2. Keep the links on a particular page to a reasonable number (less than 100).

  3. Website should have a sitemap that point important parts of site. If sitemap have more than 100 links break it into separate pages.

  4. Always make folder and file names meaningful.

  5. Always use hyphens as word separator while making the internal URL of a website.

  6. Website should not have canonical domain issue.

  7. Try to keep internal linking consistent. For example, don't link to http://www.example.com/page/ and http://www.example.com/page and http://www.example.com/page/index.htm.

  8. If site contains dynamic pages try to keep the parameters short and the number of them few.

  9. Always use proper anchor text while linking the pages.

  10. Avoid hidden text or hidden links on site.

  11. Use a meaningful descriptive ALT tags on every images.

  12. Website should have original quality and theme related contents. Use the targeted keywords in content and also check about Keyword density, proximity, prominence, stemming.

  13. Check for broken links and correct them.

  14. Don’t create pages having duplicate contents.

  15. Use appropriate header tags on a page and try to take main targeted keyword in H1.

  16. Always try to use External CSS.

  17. Avoid using java script on a page try to define it in a separate file and call from there.

  18. Verify the website in Google, Yahoo and Bing. Set preferred domain and if required set the geographical location.

  19. Prepare the XML, txt sitemaps and submit in search engines.

  20. All the pages of site should have unique Title and Meta Ttags including the targeted keyword of that page.

  21. Frames are very, very bad for SEO. Avoid using them unless really necessary

Today Google is again a big news in software industry (specially in search engine industry) as they have closed the developers review of their new generation search architecture known as Caffeine.

As all we know that from last several months a large of Google Engineers was working to develop the next generation architecture of Google’s web search. In the month of august Google has announced its caffeine update and made it public for the developers review.

Today afternoon Google retired its caffeine review and given an official statement as below:-

"Based on the success we've seen, we believe Caffeine is ready for a larger audience. Soon we will activate Caffeine more widely, beginning with one data center.
