Download Music Safely Onto Your Zune

Don't download rubbish onto your Zune! You need to ensure that the music you download onto your PC and MP3 player, such as a Zune, doesn't have any viruses or spyware that will affect your system. It'll really annoy you and potentially make you open to identity theft or worse.

Here are some of the problems you might face if you're not careful.

1. Spyware is almost always included in free MP3 software. It gathers information from you PC and can record what you type.

2. Adware is also prevalent in these software programs. This means your PC is open to unwanted pop-ups and other intrusive advertising.

3. A lot of these programs include pornography and can redirect you to a porn site.

4. Some of the free networks have spoof files. This is where the file is actually the same 10 seconds over and over for instance.

So when you are looking to download music and other media files onto your Zune you need to choose the best site. There are lots to choose from but only a few offer protection from spyware and adware, technical support specifically for your Zune, 24/7 access and a large quality library to choose from.

There are two main types of site that are safe.

There are the pay per download sites, such as Zune Marketplace and Amazon Unbox, that have a huge selection of music and videos. The songs are typically 99c each to download and you can be sure that they are of high quality.

Then there are the membership sites that offer unlimited downloads for your Zune for a one off payment. This payment means you can download as much as you want for life and typically cost between $30 and $50. If you know you are going to download a lot of files then these sites are for you.

Things have come a long way since the early days of Napster with it's illegal downloads and you can now be sure of a quality, legal service.

Make sure you look out for free trials or money-back guarantees and enjoy!

How To Achieve Pagerank 5 For Your Website For Free

There are many small business owners doing ecommerce online who are struggling, trying to increase their top page rank ratings. This is very time consuming and expensive. A lot of ecommerce businesses do not have a budget to allow them to take advantage of link buying, or other endeavors to increase the page rank ratings they need to make the money the big guns do.

How do you build a website for PR0 to PR2?

Here are some helpful hints that will work for you to get a top page rank on Google.

Get a private domain name. This is essential in this business. Be online for a few months. Make sure you change your content regularly, at least once a week. Have at least fifty inbound links that work.

This next step is tricky but not difficult. Have between 50 to 100 plus articles on your site. Submit your website to all of the necessary directories. Begin to link your website in the forums. Become a member of Google's PayPerClick Program. Google will welcome you with open arms. You invest twenty dollars to join Google's PPC program once. Done correctly, you will get back this small investment within a few short months.

It is a wonderful idea to make friends with Google. It is the number one search engine right now. Google's index spiders search the internet, finding sites to rank them against relevance. This takes some time for the spiders to do their job, sometimes up to several months, so have patience because it will take a few months for your site to get indexed.

A page rank of 5 can be reached by generating at least 10,000 links. This sounds daunting but it is not impossible. When you have 200 pages of content with each page having thirty or more links to other pages, those inside links will generate 6,000. Google's spiders will count the links inside the site because the size of your website is just as important as the links inside of it. This is especially valid when all of your website's content is alike.

This method will work for you, but you will have to be patient and allow some time to pass. Give it a few months, then begin checking at Google to see where your page rank is. From here, you will have a good idea in a few weeks if it is moving up, or down in page rank. If it is moving down, then you need to tweak your site, or adjust the keywords and keyword phrases.

Do Good CAPTCHAs Really Have To Be Unfriendly? An Expert Explains

For those of you who are not familiar with the term, a CAPTCHA is a feature on many user populated websites, such as Myspace with the purpose of blocking automated programs from spamming its users and for overall security. Here is how it works:

A user is required to enter a random letter and number password into a form before being able to submit information, log in, etc. This password is essentially given directly to the user in an image, rather than in text form, so that an automated program cannot detect the characters. The password the form field expects is the same as that shown on the image, but this sometimes causes problems.

Jeff Atwood at the Coding Horrors blog discusses whether CAPTCHAs are dead. This follows a news report that scalpers probably beat the CAPTCHAs at Ticketmaster.

Jeff links to a Chinese site that sells CAPTCHA decoders. The site quotes different prices for breaking different CAPTCHAs. An eBay decoder, for example, is being sold for $4000 and claims 70% accuracy.

What caught my attention were the unbreakable CAPTCHAs in the list. The Yahoo CAPTCHA is listed as unbreakable. That isn't surprising. Most of us can barely get it right ourselves.

Consider a Yahoo CAPTCHA. Sometimes you cannot tell the difference between a G or a 6? And the way that letters are often skewed, the difference bewteen certain uppercase and lowercase letters is virtually unrecognizable?

Contrast that with a Google CAPTCHA also listed as unbreakable. The Google image is clean and legible. Most of us have no difficulty getting it right. Google demonstrates that effective CAPTCHAs don't have to be unfriendly to users.

I am curious to learn which CAPTCHA libraries generate strong, yet user friendly challenges.
