Whats the Future for Mobile VoIP?

October 8th, 2008 by admin

One of the most important developments in the VoIP industry in recent years has been the availability of mobile VoIP technology. Although its early days for the mobile VoIP start-ups such as Truphone, it certainly seems they have the capacity to mix things up in the telecoms industry. Some of the recent incumbent mobile operators’ actions seem proof of this with T-Mobile recently being forced to allow the use of Truphone over its network, having previously not allowed calls to Truphone alloted numbers.

While a few people argue that as VoIP prices fall towards zero, this is making it a increasingly difficult industry to make any sizable profit in; the wider availability of cut cost ultra fast broadband and has resulted in a huge surge in the availability of free Wi-Fi. Consequently this is making mobile VoIP operators an increasingly attractive offer for consumers. The trend in the availability of new ’smart phones’ with the ability to run mobile VoIP client software, at ever falling prices is also, it could be argued, creating the ‘perfect storm’.

We have recently seen T-Mobile announce their VoIP service called @home giving people the option of paying one low monthly flat rate. However whilst the industry is finding people not entirely willing to give up their fixed phone line completely, mobile VoIP companies have no such issue to contend with. The seamless integration of mobile VoIP software into the functionality of mobile phones, as well as the reduced cost of data-inclusive phone packages has resulted in a predictably rapid growth in the mobile VoIP sector.

Currently it has been reported that there are 4 million VoIP users in the UK, and its likely this figure will go up. How established mobile phone operators will take advantage of this growth remains to be seen but the decision to force T Mobile to unblock calls to Truphone subscribers surely gives a clear message that rather than try and resist the mobile VoIP operators, the entranched industry monoliths must find a way of embracing them.

One stumbling block which may have an effect on the take-up of mobile VoIP is security, with many highly publicized stories highlighting the problems in making calls using VoIP. Another problem to contend with is ‘VoIP phishing’ where people are duped into giving up their personal data of their own free will after taking the ‘bait’ from a thief. This is also indicative of other VoIP security issues where unscrupulous would be thieves can tamper with the caller ID making it seem as though they are calling from well known financial institutions. Once such stumbling blocks have been resolved and fears allayed it is likely that mobile VoIP will become much more prevalent in everyday life as people take the opportunity to turn their mobiles into VoIP phones.

    Web Standards. Should my business site be compliant?

    October 8th, 2008 by admin

    Web standards is the new buzz phrase on the web. What are web standards? Web standards are basically the use of correct web coding standards as laid out by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). The web standards which are of most concern to modern business are XHTML and CSS coding practices. In the words of the W3C, “The XHTML family is the next step in the evolution of the internet.”

    In order to achieve appealing presentation it used to be the case that various HTML hacks would have to be utilised by web designers to make a page look appealing. The most commonly know ‘hack’ (which is still in use today) is the use of tables to layout page structure. Thankfully these days are coming to an end, as web browsers have evolved and XHTML and CSS are now commonly supported standards. It is now possible to make sites which not only look great but are also constructed to the correct web standards.

    This is all well and good, but should your business switch to a web standards based design? What are the business benefits of getting standards based re-designs?

    One of the disadvantages of getting a web standards based design is that it can be difficult to find a designer who will make an attractive site which is also web standards compliant. A lot of very talented web designers do not create sites which are web standards compliant due to the time involved and the lack of appreciation received from the client for doing so.

    The slow conversion to standards based designs is in part due to the ease in which a non-standards based site can be created. With the boom in ‘what you see is what you get’ (WYSIWYG) site creation tools like Dreamweaver it is now relatively straightforward for talented graphic artists to create professional looking sites with little code knowledge. Although the sites look great, the construction can leave a lot to be desired. Poor page coding, although not always visually apparent, can result in your business losing money as well as make your site inaccessible to a large audience, difficult to navigate and difficult to maintain.

    A quality web standards based web site separates the look of your web pages from the written content of your site. This addresses the negative points about a non-standards based site mentioned above. By separating style from content, standards based sites allow people using screen readers, mobiles, PDA’s and other web browsing methods to be able to navigate your site. These devices have trouble displaying table based layouts and big images so non-standards based sites are largely unusable. In the second generation of the web there is a wider range of platforms than ever before. Using web standards is the only way to ensure a high degree of uniformity across multiple platforms with your site. If your site isn’t accessible then your message is restricted to certain customers, it doesn’t take a genius to figure out that this isn’t good in business.

    A potential downside to a standards compliant website is some site add-ins such as certain bulletin boards, calendars and other dynamic content may not be written in a standards compliant manner. This becomes a problem when the add-in content is the only one that exactly fits your functional requirements. Sometimes in this scenario it may be necessary to forgo full standards compliance on pages where your non-standards compliant dynamic content is needed and migrate the page once the developers adopt standards.

    A plus side of web-standards based sites is that maintenance is made easier, meaning your site can be more easily altered. As style is handled by an external (CSS) Style Sheet it is possible to change a sites whole colour scheme by changing a few key values. Also, as no styling information is in the HTML it is much tidier and greatly reduced in size making it easier to read and alter. Smaller file sizes mean that pages load quickly (providing a better experience for customers on slow connections), consume less bandwidth (reducing hosting costs to your business).

    The final benefit of well constructed standards based websites is that as well as being accessible to your customers, often it will also be more accessible to search engines. Poorly structured inaccessible websites can often mean that some of the relevance of your text is misinterpreted by search engines. This means you could be losing out in search engine listings. By having a cleanly structured web standards website you are helping to ensure that your site (and its keywords) are correctly represented in search engines and is considered more relevant than non-standards based sites in your industry. The obvious conclusion to this article is that web standards bring real tangible benefits to business. Although finding a design company that will construct a standards compliant site is more difficult than just finding a web designer, the benefits speak for themselves. By moving to a standards based web site businesses can ensure they have accessible sites which are maintainable and future proofed. Increased customer exposure and search engine prominence can all improve the level of business that comes to you via your website. Web standards are the future of the internet and to ignore it could leave your business trailing behind the online competition.

    Repetitions to remember

    October 8th, 2008 by admin

    Try sitting in front of the television for a day and notice the commercials that keep coming in every now and then. Start counting them. How about in print media. In more than one magazine or newspaper you see the same ads with the same exact wordings in the same style. If you start counting how many times you have seen the same commercials and ads, you would be startled at the result. And sometimes seeing the same things would make you wonder if the people making these things have gone crazy or what. Later on, you would notice yourself repeating them even in your mind. Well, you have just been hustled unknowingly into their sales strategy.

    Repetition is an old technique that advertisers use to boost sales and marketing their product. People may have noticed but the more they get to see these things, the more it has been embedded in their minds. This style has been known to make people remember, and remember they do.

    Clever printing and television advertisements that can only be seen once in awhile can cause admiration from people seeing them, for fifteen minutes or so. But try asking them about it after an hour. They wouldn’t remember anything about it except maybe being impressed. People needs bit of pounding sometimes to have to get your message through. Repeating names or address twice or thrice makes them stick in people’s mind even if they want it or not.

    People may think of these repetitions as annoying. Annoying it may seem but effective nonetheless. They would think of that state of being annoyed then they would produce of the name and that something that annoyed them. Hearing and seeing these things make you memorize them and before you know it you would find yourself reciting and quoting excerpts from them without even putting an ounce of concentration into these things. Works, didn’t it?

    Have you encountered a store that keeps advertising on radios, every print material and even on television about them having a sale and encouraging people to shop there? Ever notice that you get to be curious and start going on their sales. And when people ask you about it, you can recite to them the exact address, days of sale and where you heard it from. And you carry it all up to the coming years even after the store is not existing anymore. Then you would be quoting it to friends who haven’t had the chance of seeing it.

    See repetition works. Repetition is really something that can help these advertisers in their sales. There’s nothing like repetition to make them remember. Simple strategy, just repetition. Repetition of words and phrases that needed repetition.

    Now, what was this article all about?

    The 7 Deadly Sins Guaranteed to Get Your Website Banned!

    October 7th, 2008 by admin

    The 7 Deadly Sins Guaranteed to Get Your Website Banned! By Dan Foley

    Brothers and sisters I have sinned! I have been a sinner! I didn’t know I was sinning but the great Search Engine Spirits didn’t care. Don’t let this happen to you!

    In reality, I didn’t commit all Seven of the Deadly Sins, but you don’t need to commit more than one to get banned.

    The First Deadly Sin – Don’t Hide Text

    When I first started one of my websites, I used a template from a large template company. There was nothing wrong with it. I just didn’t have everything in place to put into some of the Read More >> links and I didn’t have links for some of the menu buttons but knew that eventually I would use.

    What I did was change the text to the same color as the background. I figured I would save myself time in the future by having the links available and keep the same page formatting by doing this. In reality, I didn’t have any “keywords” there and in no way was trying to stuff the pages with keywords.

    The Search Engine Spirits are pretty smart. I think there is a lot of artificial intelligence there, but the search engines are also programmed to look for hidden text because of some of the tricks that “Black Hat” SEO companies have used in the past.

    I wasn’t getting any visitors and I wondered why. I also wasn’t using any SEO tools so I didn’t have a clue as to what was going on until one day I happened to visit Google’s site and started reading the section on Google information for Webmasters where they said “Avoid hidden text or hidden links.” I went “Hoh Boy!” Needless to say I started learning about search engine optimization (SEO). (As a side bar, since that time I have made SEO a kind of avocation and now make SEO tools available for everyone at another site I have http://www.digitalpagesinc.com/search_engine_optimization.html .)

    I went back and got rid of any hidden text and now am visited regularly by the search engines.

    The Second Deadly Sin – Don’t Have Links to Nowhere or Employ Cloaking or Sneaky Redirects

    As a result of my having “holding areas” on my website so that I could fill in the blanks later, I had links to nowhere which meant that the search engines where going to become confused and probably not index the pages. While that probably wasn’t a Deadly Sin, some of the Black Hats try to fake out the search engines by setting up link structures where they show the search engines one thing and visitors something else. This is part a ranking strategy that may get the pages high rankings for a little while, but it eventually gets found out and then the site goes to search engine Hades.

    Along with this go redirects which are set up to send competitors or search engines to another page or worse, sending a visitor to a site they never intended to visit. Have you ever gotten into a page trap? You know what I mean then. There used to be a site called Whitehouse.com which was a bad site and you couldn’t get out of it. If you closed your page another one would pop up. The correct address for the Whitehouse is Whitehouse.gov. Lots of people made that mistake including me.

    The Third Deadly Sin – Don’t Have Duplicate Content on Your Website

    This is a tricky one because it depends on how much duplicate content you have. You can have a few phrases here and there that are the same and you can have duplicate content as other sites. If you couldn’t, news sites couldn’t exist. Copyright law is another issue altogether.

    What the search engines are looking out for is multiple pages or multiple domains or multiple subdomains with essentially duplicate content. These pages or domains are set up to try to optimize on keywords in a lazy manner. If you do this you are going to get banned.

    The Fourth Deadly Sin – Don’t Spam Keywords

    This is one of the mistakes that new site owners make when doing DYI search engine optimization. They know from reading various publications that keywords are extremely important to getting placed by search engines. They then try to stuff their keywords into their web page as many times as they can.

    Additionally, before the search engines became more sophisticated, the SEOs used to put in keywords over and over again to get the attention of search engines and fake them out as to the importance of the page.

    In order to overcome this, search engines changed their algorithms to look for too many keywords in places they didn’t seem to belong and identified them as spam. The search engines then began to reduce the importance of or ban the pages.

    There is a rule of thumb that when putting keyword into your keyword tags; don’t repeat them more than three times. I’ve seen sites with keywords repeated in their keyword tags several times without penalty. Its up to you to determine how many times to do it, but until you really know what you are doing, conservative is safer than overly aggressive.

    The real rule to follow is if your page reads smoothly and adds value to the visitor, you should be O.K.

    The Fifth Deadly Sin – Don’t Use Link Farms

    Link Farms are sites that are set up just link sites to each other on a free for all basis on the theory that it’s a quick and dirty way to get links to your site. The SEs love links to your site and consider your page more important on the theory that linking to you means that your site must be good.

    What the SEs are looking for is “natural” links. They hate link farms. If they see that you are using link farms, they “know” that you are trying to manipulate them and they will punish you for using such obvious disrespect for them.

    If you think of search engines as very proud individuals who want respect, you will be much better off. I know that the engines are not really sentient beings, but if you pretend that they are and treat them as such, you won’t be as likely to get into trouble.

    The Sixth Deadly Sin – Don’t Make Text Too Small

    This is very similar to the Don’t Hide Text Rule. Again, the search engines don’t want you writing just to manipulate them and don’t want you stuffing keywords. By making text too small, they think you are trying to do this.

    Think about it. If you are making text too small, are you really writing for people?

    The Seventh Deadly Sin – Don’t Use Doorway Pages

    Don’t use Doorway Pages designed specifically for search engines or cookie cutter pages. The Search engines will punish you for it. A good article about Doorway Pages has been written by the guru Danny Sullivan at SearchEngineWatch http://searchenginewatch.com/webmasters/article.php/2167831 .

    Google specifically cautions against such pages.

    Well bothers and sisters, you now know the Seven Deadly Sins. You can now choose – be a sinner or be a winner.

    The Constantly Changing Times of TV’s

    October 1st, 2008 by admin

    Are Televisions Evolving? The short answer is, yes. Not very long ago virtually all TVs were of one sort – Cathode Ray Tube (or more normally known as CRT). Despite the fact that these usual televisions are still obtainable, there is an entire new generation of tellies just around the corner. The professed “digital revolution” has made it probable to acquire very much more programmes and get much enhanced pictures on your telly screen. Up to date televisions are furthermore more compact & trendy. Some new plasma & Liquid crystal display (LCD) TVs are so tremendously slender that they can be fixed on your study room wall like a watercolour painting. Don’t miss huge discounts on LCD TVs. Visit the Digital Direct site today!

    The Diverse Sorts of TV’s. If your telly is more than 7 years old, the likelihood that it’s a conventional CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) Telly. The new type of televisions comes in 3 key forms – Plasma TVs, LCD televisions & HD (which can comprise of either of the other two). Our TV consumers’ guide can aid you be ware of the difference:

    Plasma TVs. The most accepted selection for large flat-panel tellies, plasma screens can be as little as 3 inches wide – unquestionably lean enough to be put a wall. The screen is thoroughly flat, so you can quite simply see the image from a sharper angle without causing a loss of sharpness. Plasma tellies use a matrix of miniature gas plasma cells to create a crystal clear image.

    LCD TV’s. Similar to plasma screens, LCD televisions are flat and tasteful, consuming very little area. Available in various sizes, LCD televisions present superior resolution images when evaluated to plasma screens. LCD tellies may be seen from a mixture of angles, but compared with plasma, there is a visible decline in quality. LCD televisions run via a system of miniscule liquid crystals crammed in the middle of a backlight and an area of glass.
