站内链接优化关注必须4个要点

外部链接可以比喻成一个工厂的业务经理，那内部链接就好像一个工厂的厂长。 我想站内链接优化对于一个网站的重要性不用多说了，两者相辅相成，缺一不可。今天我要谈谈一些内部链接的看法。

　　一.导航栏尽量少用图片

　　有些网站为了追求美观，导航栏都用了图片或者Java下拉菜单等，但是 搜索引擎对文字的敏感性远远高于图片或者其他，如果想更搜索引擎对着干，就不妨用吧。

　　二，建立网站地图

　　我们旅游去一个陌生的地方，有一张地图肯定是方便找路，方便到达我们要找的地方。同样，一个网站有了网站地图，同样方便搜索引擎对你网站页面的抓取，同时不要忘记把网站地图的链接放到首页去了。

　　三，网页互相链接

　　就好像我在这篇文章中的“搜索引擎”就是实用了文字链接功能，因为这样一来，不仅能提高PV值，同时整个网站更像一个蜘蛛网，既有栏目组成的主 脉，也有网页之间的适当链接。我的这个站qq个性签名使用的锚文本链接就涉及到我的主推关键词，而那两个主推的关键词都指向首 页，目的就是增加首页的权重。同时相关文章内部也相互连接。

　　四，文字链接

　　导航栏中的文字链接一定要能够准确地描述其栏目的内容，自然而然在链接文字中就会有关键词，但切忌堆砌关键词。我们推崇的关键词密度是2%~8 %，谷百优这个站参与到这次的比赛当中，很多人都将关键词密度提得过高，最终会受到惩罚，我们拭目以待。以上四点内容，都是官 方的一些说法。在这里我只参杂了自己的一些看法，希望大家互相交流。

Fresno Pacific offers new global MBA

Its new global MBA from Fresno Pacific University is designed to prepare Valley professionals for success in the world economy, the university says.
“The traditional MBA is just the functions of an organization—marketing, accounting, etc.—you assume it’s a domestic organization,” says Dennis Langhofer, director of the program. “We assume we are working ... to prepare people here (in the Central Valley) to work in a global environment.”
The degree’s international component comes through in the faculty, curriculum and foundation. Mr. Langhofer, who is also the interim dean of the School of Business, has run his own business and studied and taught leadership.
Justin Dermon, who teaches finance, is a Fresno native who moved to France at age 12 when his parents (his father is French) became missionaries there.
“You just can’t be in your own little place and ignore what’s going on around you,” says Mr. Dermon.
They are joined by Peng Wen, a native of Taiwan who has been teaching economics at the university since 1990. He is also a member of the economic advisory council to the Taiwanese government.
Another feature of the global MBA is that students will see the world they’re learning about. A two-week international trip, perhaps China or France, is included in the tuition. Study in those nations is expected to give participants experience with international business perspectives, the chance to apply critical analysis and practice in leadership and teamwork skills.
Classes will meet one night a week, and there will be an online component, as well. The 41-unit program will take 16 months and the first group of students is scheduled to begin studies in August at FPU’s North Fresno Center.
The need for the global MBA is real. FPU’s research in the Stockton to Bakersfield and Central Coast regions suggest demand for graduate-level education will increase hand-in-hand with the need for people in management-level positions.
Candidates for the program may be traditional B.A. graduates or working professionals who have completed their bachelor’s degree. The goal is to prepare them to be entry- or middle-level managers, or to operate their own businesses.
Fresno Pacific University offers undergraduate and graduate programs to about 2,400 traditional and adult students on its 42-acre main campus in southeast Fresno or centers in North Fresno, Visalia and Bakersfield. The university also reaches 14,000 students across the nation and around the world through professional development studies programs.

Giving MBA Graduates the Edge in a Tough Job Market

BOSTON, April 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Hult International Business School is offering its incoming September MBA students the opportunity to extend their studies and graduate with a Master of Finance degree at no extra cost, it was announced today.
In effect this means students at Hult, the world's first global business school, will be able to graduate with two degrees in only 18 months.
The Master of Finance has been designed in consultation with banking and finance professionals and will provide first-class training for exceptional students wanting a more detailed knowledge of finance than offered by an MBA. The program consists of a number of core courses that lay a solid foundation for a career in finance, a range of electives covering the main areas of applied finance, and an action learning project bringing theory to life. Program topics include Financial Analysis, Company Valuations, Investment Banking, Portfolio Analysis, Investment Strategy, Financial Instruments and Capital Markets.
The MBA + Master of Finance program is designed for professionals who want to fast-track their careers in finance, especially those interested in careers related to:
- Investment, commercial and retail banking
- Investment management, hedge funds, security analysis and brokering
- The finance function of major for profit and not-for-profit organizations
- Capital markets, trade and risk management
- Accountancy firms, regulatory bodies and investor relations
Dr Richard Joseph, Dean of Hult International Business School and former investment banker, designed the program in collaboration with financial professionals and academics. Dr. Joseph worked at Citibank, Lehman Brothers, and Bear Stearns before entering academia. He drew on his experience in corporate finance, securities trading, and mergers & acquisitions to develop a rigorous and highly relevant curriculum.
President Stephen Hodges, himself a former banker, added, "We are offering our MBA students the opportunity to earn two Master's degrees because this will substantially help them in their job search."
To celebrate the launch of this exciting program, all successful Hult MBA application submissions before April 30th, 2009 will be given a US$25,000 scholarship. The scholarship covers the tuition fee for the Master of Finance.
Hult International Business School (http://www.hult.edu/) operates campuses in Boston, London, Dubai and Shanghai. Its MBA program is ranked by both the Financial Times and the Economist.

Google’s Black-Box Social Network

Google wants to conquer the social networking world without creating an explicit social network.
Rather than trying to revive its Orkut networking site, which has been a flop outside of Brazil, Google is weaving the various components of social networks through its existing services. Your contacts in Gmail and Google Talk, for example, are being turned into a list of “friends” with whom you can share photos from Picasa or blog posts from Blogger.
Another piece of Google’s decentralized social network is an option that lets people create a profile page with photos and the usual tidbits about where you went to school and so on.
On Tuesday, Google began a campaign to get people to create these profiles, using its biggest gun: the Google search engine. If you want to control what people see when they search for your name, create a profile and click the box to have it included in Google search results.
While some people may well want to do anything they can to hide from the prying eyes of surfers around the world, many more in this narcissistic era will want to ascend to the stage Google is offering them.
There are good write-ups of the nuances of this feature from Danny Sullivan, of Search Engine Land, and John Battelle, the author and ad-network entrepreneur.
Are the new profile pages enough to get Google’s ersatz social network to rival Facebook and MySpace? I don’t know. But it doesn’t hurt.
As much Google’s strategy makes a lot of business sense, I think it has some real problems for users. Social networks are not just software with features they are –really—communities. What you do on MySpace, Twitter and Facebook are different because each has different rules about who can see what about you and different norms that have evolved for what is acceptable behavior.
Facebook, for all its missteps, has really defined a high standard of control for users. It’s easy to change which group of people sees what information about you. And you can see how this plays out. Google lets you have a little control over who sees your phone number and other contact information. Otherwise, everything in the profile is public.
More troublesome to me is that the rules and norms of all of Google’s features are hard to figure out. That is in keeping with the company’s style. It evolves products over time, and tends to offer limited options hoping that default settings work for most people.
That may be the best way to make a search engine, map site and maybe even an e-mail service. But I don’t think it’s the best way to create services where people share sometimes very intimate details about themselves.
For me, I don’t really want strangers to see pictures of my kids. But I love to show pictures of my kids to my friends. Maybe Google lets me do this, but the interface is too hard for me to figure out. I also find Google’s version of the social graph Google Friend Connect inscrutable.
I think Google has a huge set of advantages in becoming a hub of social communications and media sharing, with YouTube, Blogger, Gmail and of course its search engine. But the company and its users may well be served by bringing all these features into a more coherent interface around which user expectations can be built.
When it comes to your personal thoughts, contact information and your photos — be they of your kids or your bachelor party — saying trust the black box just isn’t good enough.

Twittering, rapid media may confuse morals

LOS ANGELES, April 14 (UPI) -- A U.S. researcher raises questions about the emotional cost of the heavy reliance on a rapid stream of news snippets from TV, online or Twitter.

First author Mary Helen Immordino-Yang of the University of Southern California said that humans can sort information very quickly and can respond in fractions of seconds to signs of physical pain in others. However, admiration and compassion -- two of the social emotions that define humanity -- take much longer.

The researchers used compelling, real-life stories to induce admiration for virtue or skill, or compassion for physical or social pain, in 13 volunteers -- the emotion felt was verified through a careful protocol of pre- and post-imaging interviews.

Brain imaging showed that the volunteers needed 6 to 8 seconds to fully respond to stories of virtue or social pain. However, once awakened, the responses lasted far longer than the volunteers' reactions to stories focused on physical pain.

Normal life events will always provide opportunities for humans to feel admiration and compassion, but fast-paced digital media tools may direct some heavy users away from traditional avenues for learning about humanity, such as engagement with literature or face-to-face social interactions, Immordino-Yang said.

Immordino-Yang did not blame digital media.

"It's not about what tools you have, it's about how you use those tools," she said in a statement.

The study is scheduled to appear in next week's Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences online early edition.

Twitter Worm: A Closer Look at What Happened

It looks like Twitter's website has been scrubbed clean after several bouts of the "Mikeyy" or "StalkDaily" worm plagued the service. Even though the threat seems to have passed, questions remain about just how serious this attack was and if there will be any repercussions for the worm's creator.

Worm Attacks Bird

Early on Saturday, April 11, the Mikeyy worm started to spread via Twitter posts by encouraging you to click on a link to a rival microblogging service StalkDaily.com. As soon as you clicked on the link your account would be infected and begin to send out similar messages encouraging your followers to visit StalkDaily. Then your followers would become infected and the worm's infection rate would grow. You could also catch the worm by viewing infected profiles on Twitter.com.

Twitter fell victim to about four different Mikeyy worm attacks, but now seems to be worm-free, according to the BBC. The security firm F-Secure tracked one particularly crafty version of the worm: users would receive a message telling them how to remove Mikeyy and would be encouraged to click on a URL shortened using the bit.ly service. The bit.ly address would then redirect users to a Twitter profile named "reberbrerber," where users would be automatically infected. Since this variant of the worm used bit.ly to redirect traffic, F-Secure was able to track the worm. According to the company, the bit.ly variant of the worm mostly affected users in the United States and was clicked on well over 18,000 times.

Mikeyy was authored by Michael Mooney, the 17-year-old creator of StalkDaily.

Attack flirted with distaster

By malware standards the Mikeyy worm was relatively benign since it only directed users to a rival site. However, F-Secure's chief research officer, Mikko H. Hypponen, told the BBC the attack could have been much worse. Hypponen says it would have been a simple trick for malware authors to modify the worm to infect a user's computer, where more serious offenses like identity theft could have occurred.

Even more worrying is the fact that this worm used a well-known exploit and has infected other social networks in the past. According to Twitter's blog, Mikeyy was similar to the Samy worm that infected MySpace in 2007.

Aftermath

While it seems that Twitter has stomped out the Mikeyy worm, it is unclear whether Twitter is still vulnerable to this kind of attack. Twitter says it is conducting "a full review of the weekend activities," and that "everything from how it happened, how [it] reacted, and preventative measures will be covered." However, Twitter has yet to say whether this type of attack can happen again or why such a common exploit was left vulnerable in the first place?

The fate of Mooney, however, seems a little less ambiguous. Referring to the 2007 Samy worm, Twitter notes that "MySpace filed a lawsuit against the virus creator which resulted in a felony charge and sentencing." Twitter then goes on to say that it "takes security very seriously" and "will be following up on all fronts." So much for Mikeyy and perhaps even Mikey.

All “New” Web2.0 Business Models are Advertising Supported

On the way to the airport, I was thinking about the Mindshift Web2.0 Panel that I just sat in on, asking myself why it is that the most highly regarded web2.0 companies don’t make any money. The holy grail exit strategy seems to be: get acquired by yahoo or google … but that can’t be the only business model, because you also have the facebook and myspace models, and more recently, sources tell me that digg.com is cash flow positive. But these are all ad-supported and in terms of getting “rich,” which is supposedly the unstated goal of most entrepreneurs, it’s yahoo and google that make dollar signs appear in the eyes of most bootstrapped web2.0 ventures.

Of course, I first questioned my underlying premise – is it true they don’t make money? I did some napkin math on flickr just prior to the yahoo acquisition, and based on assessing a random sample for pro accounts, it appeared to me that flickr was not making enough money to be profitable. I know, I know, the value to yahoo was not in cash flow, it was the value of the network, but let’s think about that for a second. The value of the network was small for flickr, it was large for yahoo, which is what commanded the acquisition multiple. So how does yahoo monetize a network. That’s right … through advertising.

So is it true that all web2.0 business models are advertising supported. That depends which internet camp you are in. Is the internet all about software? Or is the internet all about media distribution? I am in the latter camp … and media distribution has been advertising supported for at least the last century. When you also consider that web2.0 attributes, such as social networks and community aggregation, only make advertising more lucrative by commanding more contextual application and a correspondingly higher CPM, then it makes sense that the web2.0 business model is advertising-based.

But what if the internet is about software development? In the absence of shrink wrapping, I think that software is no longer a product that you can sell for money. It is merely an enabler of user experience that helps people get things done. Increasingly, getting things done is about media consumption and community building. Basecamp aside, people are unwilling to pay for most consumer-facing applications. I wonder if that will ever change.

If you rewind the clock all the way back, ebay and amazon.com are web2.0 companies – they create networks to engender trust between buyers and sellers, they use reputation managers and recommendation engines, and they highlight simplicity in their business models (if not in their user interface). And yet, they don’t make money through advertising. Instead, they make money by taking a little off the top of transactions. Ebay aggregates buyers for sellers and amazon aggregates sellers for buyers, but their revenue is transaction-based. But again, the “user-customer” doesn’t pay for this, the “seller-customer does.”

I know that people scoff at advertising, but isn’t that where the business models need to be centered? Or do the business models even matter as long as yahoo and google are collecting the advertising dollars for us?

Twitter Hit By StalkDaily Worm

According to Techcrunch reports, Twitter suffered from Saturday StalkDaily worm attacking. Once the user visits the site, the computer will be infected and will send a large number of Twitter spam messages, which will lure users to visit other websites called StalkDaily.

It is not clear the specific circumstances of the worm. But as we see, during someone visit to the infected user’s personal Twitter page, other users will also be infected. It is reported that the worm will modify personal Twitter page “About me” section and add a point to a link to the worm.

This attack began at the United States Saturday morning, many of the blog have paid attention to the worm.As we can see through Twitter search, there have been hundreds of articles and news related to the virus in just a few minutes.

The official of Twitter released a piece of news on Saturday morning. Twitter has been the attention to the incident, and the majority of this issue has been resolved. But Twitter spam inspection account also announced that the worm turned up again.

In order to ensure the safety of the individual pages, the users had better use a third-party Twitter software to login in their account to prevent read other people’s personal page, For example,you can use DestroyTwitter,a very good software,which you can send and get tweets in time.
