Removing unwanted applications from new PC
Nothing is more frustrating then setting up a new PC, only to find it full of stuff you don’t want. It can be very time consuming to remove unwanted programs for an inexperienced user. Their is a tool to simplify the process, PC Decrapifier. PC Decrapifier is free for personal use, and offers a low subscription rate for businesses that want to use the tool.
Sony was charging $50 for a similar service, but the catch is that they are the ones loading up the computers with the software. Sony has since decided against charging customers for the application removal.
I hope one day computer manufacturers will catch on to what makes Apple computers so appealing.
If you purchase a new mac, you won’t find all the free trial offers, or unwanted software upon your first use. You actually get to enjoy your new computer!

Choosing a phone number is an important step in business planning.
Sites such as www.phonespell.org can help you come up with combinations that are easily remembered.
Vonage has unlimited local and long distance call plans strating at $25.00 /month. One thing to keep in mind though is if your Internet connection goes down, so does your phone line.
Vonage allows you to tack on an 800 number to your local plan for an additional $5/month.
Using an 800 number in advertisements, and on your website can help increase conversions.

What is NoFollow?
NoFollow is a HTML tag you can place on a link to tell search engines not to follow that link. The link will not pass any link juice to your site. The only benefit of the link will be the traffic it sends.
Note: Some larger sites such as wikipedia automatically make their links nofollow.
How to NoFollow Properly
Normal Link
<a href=”http://www.link.com”>Anchor Text</a>
NoFollow Link
<a href=”http://www.link.com” rel=”nofollow”>Anchor Text</a>
Aaron Wall, from SEOBook has a Firefox plugin called SEO for Firefox that will show you which links are nofollow when your browsing the Internet. This will stop the madness of viewing the source of every webpage your link is on.
