How to boost your internet speed easily
May 1st
For broadband users internet speed may not be an issue, but for dialup and USB based internet users, speed is a great issue. I didn’t feel the need for a net speed booster until I had to go to a remote hospital for work. I have been using BSNL EVDO for past one year,it offers 3.1Mbps speed and unlimited downloads. When I had to go to this place, I didn’t have range for a BSNL CDMA tower.So all I got was 250Kbps maximum speed and that too with breaks in between.Using internet has been a great difficulty for me these days.
After 3 months and after checking different methods to boost internet speed, I did a simple Google search on, “how to optimize internet speed”.The results were many, but there was a hidden gem in the results,Robust free internet speed booster.
What is Robust free internet speed booster?
This program is a package of 3 utilities
1.A network pinger which prevents you from being disconnected by your Internet Service Provider,full control over the Ping interval, host, and sound.
2.Internet Speed Booster optimizes the way your Windows PC can send and receive information across the Internet in real time to prevent fragmentation of data transfers.
3.Free Memory utility – allows you to free physical memory ( RAM)on your computer.Just select a target amount of free memory and click the Optimize button. You can also schedule it to automatically optimize RAM when it falls below a certain target level.
Robust works with Windows Vista, XP, 2000, 98, Me, NT.
The results I got on trying Robust.
After doing a little research, I downloaded,latest version of this free internet speed booster. I installed the exe file, with doubting mind. It could be an adware, virus or anything of that sort. After installing I restarted my computer and tried it, it has different options like network pinger, speed booster etc.
All I was interested was in internet speed booster, I tried different settings with speed booster.First I tried the windows default, which didn’t do any good. As advised, I tried the wizard option, I got the best result when I tried the Automatic A.
I got an un interrupted maximum speed internet connection with this speed booster and would recommend it to all my friends out there looking for a good way to increase internet speed.

The editors at CNET have given a very high rating for Avast antivirus.Avast antivirus automatically updates as we log on to the internet.It also gives audible messages,so that we don’t have to watch the screen everytime Avast is running.I have used Avast Antivirus for quite some time.I was so happy that Avast caught every Virus that infested my PC,because I got a virus warning every time I started my system. I kept on deleting the viruses which infested my win32 files. Little did I know that I was deleting some of my win32 files too. Soon I began getting error messages and my system began running too slow.Though I was happy that Avast caught so many viruses, it didn’t do any good for me, I had to reformat my PC.I lost all the info in Drive C and hence I have installed Mcafee though it doesn’t capture viruses every now and then, I am happy that my system works well!

Mcafee Free Antivirus
Mcafee offers a whole lot of virus removal tools free of charge. I have been using Mcafee virus scan recently and I am satisfied with it because it doesn’t slow down my system as most other antiviruses do. The only problem I face is that, I have to manually setup and download the update files,so if I forget a day to download the update files, it doesn’t update. Excluding this, I am happy with Mcafee.

Use Notesync to sync with Google docs
Apr 22nd
I have been looking for a note taking program which would easily sync with google docs.Now I have found one, Notesync, which would facilitate easy note taking and sync.I use Evernote, which is a handy tool in note taking, but it doesn’t offer sync with Google docs, which should be an essential part of any note taking program.
NoteSync lets you take notes fast and sync them with your Google docs account. Keyboard shortcuts like CTR-L put your cursor in the search bar to easily search for notes or create a new note.Notesync Automatically syncs your docs every minute or when you feel like it by pressing the sync button. Offline mode fully supported by Note sync.At the time Notesync supports only word documents.
The Beta version of Notesync is free, the publishers also sell Notesync at $4.99.

Best advertising programs for bloggers
Apr 22nd
When I started my first blog, I didn’t know that there were many advertising programs which could help me gain a reasonable income. Now a days, when someone starts a new blog, what they first search for is advertising programs. I tried out many programs some were success while some others were utter failures.Given below is a list of online advertising programs which I have tried.
Google Adsense
I tried Google Adsense program after I got an idea about it from problogger. Since I had no or meagre webdesigning skill, I found it difficult to place the ads, but as time went by it became an easy task. The problem with Google Adsense was that they paid only after $100 accumulated in my account. I had to wait some time for my first payment, I even doubted whether I would get it. But I got the first payment and it got me going. I would recommend Google Adsense to any of my readers who are looking forward to start a blog.
Infolinks
Infolinks is a text based advertising program, which shows links on specific text. The payment per click is satisfactory and above average.But the disadvantage is that text linked advertisements have lesser payment, so you will have to have a huge audience for a satisfactory campaign.
Text Link Ads
As the name suggests Text link ads is also a text based advertising program, the payment is satisfactory and comparable to Infolinks, but the approval system is it tough.
Adbrite
Adbrite is contextual advertising program similar to Google Adsense, but the payment per click is very low. I have tried Adbrite, but the results were not satisfactory, so I avoided it altogether.
There are many other advertising programs available for web publishers, some like Yahoo Ads are known to give good payment to publishers, be sure to try them out too.

Who can see the promotions
When you first create a promotion, only your friends will be able to see it. However, if one of your friends decides they like it enough to promote it themselves, then all of their friends will also be able to see it, and these friends of friends too can share your promotion, and so forth.
