Email = Anahtar demisdik

Simdi iyi guzelde insanlar bunlari yaparken emaillerini unutuyorlar, az once ornegini vermistim email eger senin evinin anahtari ise, kapinin onunde saksinin altina birakip gidip kapi pencereyi demir guvenlik cerceveyle evinize alarm sistemi takmaya benzer.

Cogu kisilerin kendi web sitesini yaparak, insanlarin kendi sitelerine gelmesini bekliyor. Gerçek ise insanlar sizin web sitenizi bilmeden sizin sitenize gelmeyecekleridir. Buyuk isletmeler, kuruluslar bile web sitelerini sürekli olarak sitelerinin SEO’larini gelistirmekde tanitmakda. Sitenizin büyük arama motorlarinin ilk sayfasinda listelenmesi, sitenize binlerce insanin gelmesi bir sitenizin olmasiyla cok ayri bir olaydir. Ornegin market acdiniz ancak marketin acilisindan kimsenin habri yok, devamliligini korumak icin herhangi baska yontemler yok, ornegin billboard, poster, gazete reklami, TV reklami gib, bu eksiklerden dolayi marketinize kimse gelmeyecekdir yada uzun vadede yavas yavas kendi reklamnizi yapacaksiniz, ve gelen kisilerin sayisida vermis oldugunuz effor kadar sizlere donus yapacakdir. Sitenizin arama motorlarinin ilk sayfasina getirmek için yapilacak cok sey var.

Bu yazimi, internet alemine ilgi duyan, birsekilde kendine site yaptirmis kucuk olcekli isletmelerin ilk asamada anlayacaklari sekilde yazmis oldugum asagidaki iki yontemle sitelerinin trafigini yukseltebilirler.

SEO iki sekilde yapilmalidir. Bir sayfa optimizasyonu ve digeri ise kapali sayfa iyilestirmedir. Her ikisi de çok önemlidir. sayfa optimizasyonu kapali yapmaya baslamadan önce Öncelikle sayfa optimizasyonu yapmak gerekir.

Sayfa ici optimizasyon:

1. Baslik etiketleri H1, H2 ve H3 çok önemlidir. ana anahtar kelime için h1 etiketi kullanin
2. görüntüler’de (resimlerin her turu) için kullanin Alt etiketi. Bu etikete alakali anahtar kelimelerini ekleyiniz
3. Baslik etiketi çok önemlidir. Ana kelime Basligi olmalidir
4. Sayfa url – Sizin iç sayfalar ilgili sayfa anahtar kelimer içermelidir.
5. Anahtar kelime yogunlugu – içerigi ana anahtar kelime yogunlugu % 3 civarinda olmalidir.
6. Sitemap dahil edilecektir. (Arama motorlari bu sitemap’i buldugunda site icinde gezginlige cikacakdir ve nekadar sayfa, link bulduysa onlari tarayacakdir. Olmazsa omazlardan biridir sitemap)

Sayfa optimizasyonu yaparken tüm bu adimlara daha fazla önem verilebilir ileride, ilk hedef bunlari gerceklestirmekdir.

Sayfa optimizasyon Kapali (site disi):
Ilgili kaynaklardan sitelerde kaliteli geri baglantili linkler sayfanizin optimizasyonu için önemlidir. Bircok forum’da, arkadas sitelerinde, bloglar’da, sitenizin hedef kitlesi neredeyse o sitelerde, ozellikle sayfa degeri yuksek (page rank) olan sitelerden sizlerin sitesine baglanti linkleri gelistirmek, eger mumkunse direk ic sayfalarin linklerini’de backlink olarak vermek cok daha verimlilik gosterecekdir.

Yapmanis gerekenlerden bazilari ise soyle:

1.(Directory) Dizin teslim – alakali anahtar kelime ve açiklama ile yüksek kaliteli web dizinleri web sitenize link ver.
2. (Social Bookmark) isaretleme Sosyal kitap – Yüksek PR sosyal kitap isaretleme web siteleri takip ediyorsunuz baglantilari geri almak için bir baska iyi yoludur.
3. Basin açiklamasi – Ana anahtar kelimeler iceren basin açiklamasi gönderin, bircok basin aciklamasi icin kurulu siteler var.
4. Makale gönderme – benzersiz içerik yazin ve yüksek page rank makale dizinleri sitelerine gonderin, yazin.
5. Bloglar – Blogger.com ve Blogcu.com gibi sitelerde makaleleri kullanan bloglar olusturun.

Ana sayfa baglantilari yani sira iç sayfalarda alin, bu yarattiginiz ucretsiz blog sayfalarinda sitenizi, veyahut urununuzu tanitacak makaleler yazin ve sitenizin linklerini makale icerisine isleyiniz. Sonucda bu bloglar ile kendi sitenize backlink baglantilari kuruyorsunuz, ve arama motorlari bu backlinkler sayesinde sizlere daha vazla onem vermekde ve bu dolayisi ile daha iyi bir pozisyonda olmak demekdir. Ornegin Arkadaslarinizin bloglarinda,sitelerinde,sosyal paylasim aglarinda sitenize link vermelerini isteyin, eger azda olsa birseyler yazilmasi o linkle beraber anahtar kelimeside eklenfiginde cok daha verimli olacakdir.

Yöntemlerin aslinda çok daha kapsamli oldugunu geri baglantilari (back links) olusturmak için tüm basit ve etkili yöntemleri burda ele aldim.

You’re picky… but you have a right to be. Good thing Screencast.com was designed for content creators like you. At Screencast.com, you’ll get all of the above and more—plus it’s free.

What is Screencast.com?

Screencast.com is a free web service from TechSmith Co. that lets you upload, manage and share your content without changing a thing. From high-quality videos, to presentations, documents and images—Screencast.com gives your content the perfect home.

How does it work?

Step 1: Upload files

Logging into Screencast.com automatically takes you to the Library where you can upload your content. You can use any content creation tool to upload your videos and images to Screencast.com. But when you use TechSmith software—like a video recorded and edited with Camtasia Studio, or a quickly marked up image and video with Jing—you can directly upload to Screencast.com from within the application.

- Keep the original quality. What you upload is exactly what your viewers see. Content hosted on Screencast.com isn’t compressed or re-encoded into a “one-size-fits-all” format.

- Control the rights to your own content. Anything you upload to Screencast.com still belongs to you. So feel free to delete files you’ve uploaded and make room for something new.

Step 2: Store and protect

Create a folder in Screencast.com and save the videos and images you want to keep in one place. Simply store your content… or turn it into a portal for viewers to access.

- Decide who views your content. Make a folder public and visible to everyone. Hide it so only you can see it. Password protect it. Or make it so only authorized viewers can access your content.

- Access the stats on your content. At a glance, you can see how many times a specific file has been viewed and how much bandwidth each file is using.

Step 3: Share in multiple formats

Uploading is only part of it. Share your stuff outside of Screencast.com easily with a URL or send a link directly to your viewers. Screencast.com even gives you HTML embed code so you can post images and videos on your own website or blog.

- Share in high-quality. With options like Flash, WMV, QuickTime and others, Screencast.com is sure to give you the highest quality playback available.

You see photo galleries all over the web: The top 10 such-and-such photos, or 25 amazing this-or-that pictures. If you’re like us, you click on almost every one of them. Themed photo galleries on blogs work for a simple reason: Almost everyone appreciates great pictures and enjoys sharing them with friends. If you can dream up a good theme, write a good headline, and deliver a payoff of stunning visuals, you’ve got a viral hit on your hands.

The difficulty is getting the pictures legally and fairly. You could look for photos on Flickr or Google Images, but you face some time-consuming work: making sure you have permission to republish the pictures. Usually this means contacting every photographer or their agents individually. Some photographers will be delighted that you’re sharing their work, but others will be offended if you fail to give them a say in how the work is presented (or, of course, pay them for it). With rare exceptions (such as NASA images and very old photos), every photograph is copyrighted unless the rights holder says otherwise. You’ve probably read stories about web sites that have had to pull content offline after complaints or legal action from photographers. You don’t want to be in that position.

This tutorial will teach you how to use a stock image library to find images you can legally and safely use on a blog. Obviously, we’d love it if you get your images from Shutterstock (Spoiler alert: There’s a coupon at the end of the article) but we hope you find this information useful even if you don’t. This tutorial offers some basic guidelines for image searching and selection, and assumes you’re already familiar with the fundamentals of blogging and have access to Adobe Photoshop. Let’s get started on building a viral photo gallery for your blog.

1. Come up with an idea and a title.

Pictures of lightning? Underwater scenes? Ugly pets? Things with spots? Get creative, but keep in mind some ideas naturally lend themselves to great photographs. For this tutorial, we’re going to put together a gallery of pictures of impressive bridges. Your title should be short, catchy and as bold as possible without overpromising. Remember, this will be what people see in RSS feeds and social networking sites, so it should make it obvious that it’s a photo gallery. Audiences also respond well to titles that specify a number of images, so they know they’re not about to be overwhelmed with somebody’s collection of 1,000 vacation snapshots. For this exercise, let’s go with the title “Photo Gallery: The World’s 5 Most Beautiful Bridges.” (We might go with 10 or 20 pictures on a blog, but here we want to keep it short.)

2. Visit a stock library and start searching.

When you first start to search, you might be overwhelmed with your choices. If you type “bridge” into Shutterstock, you’ll get more than 65,000 results, including both illustrations and images. You can refine your search by limiting it to just photos and sorting the results by the most popular images. As you get a feel for what kinds of images are in the library, you might want to add more keywords, like “river” or “night” or “suspension.” If you see a picture you really like, you can display images similar to it by clicking on the similar images icon that appears below each thumbnail (on Shutterstock, it looks like two overlapping squares). You can also click on a photographer’s name to display more images by the same photographer, since there’s a chance they might have other images that fit your theme.

3. Build a lightbox and choose your favorite photos.

A lightbox is a folder you create on a stock site to keep track of images you might want to download. On Shutterstock, when you see an image you like, click on the icon that looks like a light bulb. Select “new lightbox” from the menu, give it a name, and start adding pictures to it. Go crazy – add everything you like.

Now, the editing process begins. Photo editing is a skill that improves with practice and some sort of an art background, but even if you’re new to it, you probably know more than you think. Do you see an image that makes you laugh, that reminds you of something you like, or that you would want to immediately share with a friend? Keep that one. Are there a couple of images that look really similar? Pick one and forget the rest. Edit tight. Don’t be afraid of passing up the wrong image, and go with your instincts. Remember, you want to give your visitors a surprise-and-delight moment, not bore them.

4. Download and resize your images.

OK, we’ve settled on the images we want. Now we visit each image page and download the size we need. This is a good time to check the usage terms for the site to make sure the usage we want is allowed. Shutterstock limits online usage to a maximum of 800 x 600 pixels. That restriction is in place to keep people from distributing print-quality images online, and it’s plenty big enough for most blogs. (This particular blog has a width of 540 pixels, so we’re in good shape.) For most of the images we’re about to download, the medium-size images will be the proper size, so we’ll download that size. (When in doubt, download a larger size than you need.)

Next, use Photoshop or another image editing program to make sure all your images are resized to the pixel width of your blog and saved as JPEG format.

5. Order your photos, write captions, and place them in your blog.

Like editing, sequencing is a skill that gets easier with practice. To start, you can’t go wrong if you arrange your photos in a way that tells a story, and write captions to match. Alternately, you can lead with your best photo, then alternate between traditional, conservative shots and unexpected, creative ones. Your captions should be short but contain enough information to answer any obvious questions a visitor will have when looking at the photo. (Such as: What is this, and why is it so great?) You should also credit the photographer and the source of the image. It’s useful to include a link to the source of the image as well.

When you’re happy with your images and captions, enter them into your blogging program, publish, and start spreading the word.

To show you what we came up with following these steps, here’s our mini list of bridges.

Excerpt from:
Beautiful Designs with Smoke Typography

In this article, I’ll be introducing and laying the groundwork for advanced JavaScript development with one of the most popular JavaScript libraries available: jQuery.

Although there are many beginning tutorials online that can provide a great starting point for jQuery development, in this article I’m hoping to go beyond just quick-start syntax and instead provide a solid overview of jQuery and discuss the benefits of using such a library. Of course, much of this information–outside of the syntax and other jQuery-specific details–will be applicable to any JavaScript library.

Why a JavaScript library?

To quote the official jQuery slogan: “Write less, do more.” The role of a web developer is to create code that determines what will result from a user’s interaction with a web page. Web developers should not have to spend hours debugging browser quirks. Instead, they should be free to deal solely with the actions and the results. This is where a JavaScript library comes into play.

Overcoming browser differences

Different browsers handle DOM manipulation, transparency effects, and animation in different ways, requiring, in some cases, reams of code just to create a simple effect. Using a JavaScript library allows you to completely bypass all of those challenges, giving you access to an API (Application Programming Interface) that deals directly with the tasks you actually want to accomplish. All the challenges and issues common to JavaScript are dealt with behind the scenes, allowing you to integrate functionality without wondering whether or not it will work in a particular browser.

Unobtrusive JavaScript

Another impelling reason to use a JavaScript library is that all libraries allow you to include JavaScript in your pages unobtrusively, thus keeping your behavior layer (the JavaScript) separate from the content and presentation layers (the XHTML and CSS).

Accomplishing complex tasks with ease

Finally, a very powerful feature of any JavaScript library is its ability to manipulate any element or set of elements on a web page with just one line of code. Take, for example, the following HTML:

Text Here
Text Here
Text Here
Text Here
Text Here

Let’s say you wanted to use JavaScript to change the background color of the first list item element (

var myListCollection = document.getElementsByTagName("ul");
  for (var i = 0; i < myListCollection.length; i++) {
    if (myListCollection[i].className === "list") {
      myListCollection[i].childNodes[0].style.backgroundColor = "blue";
    }
  }

$("ul.list li:first-child").css("background-color, "blue");

$("li a");

jQuery("li a");

$("li a").fadeOut();

tags. If we want to fade the anchors back in again, we just use the fadeIn() method:

$("li a").fadeIn();

Chaining commands

jQuery also allows developers to chain commands, stringing one after another. So, we could combine the previous two examples, as follows:

$("li a").fadeOut().fadeIn();

The above code will fade out all anchor tags nested within list items, then immediately fade them back in. The number of chained items is infinite (or within reasonably set limits), allowing for numerous commands to work on the same group of elements, each happening in succession.

That’s just a small sampling of what’s possible with jQuery, and how easy it is to accomplish tasks that would normally take many lines of code, and a lot of browser testing. Although you’ll still do browser testing when running jQuery code, the results will virtually always be the same: cross-browser, unobtrusive JavaScript that’s easy to write and easy to maintain.

Running code when the DOM is ready

Earlier we touched on the concept of unobtrusive JavaScript, and how jQuery is written to allow your scripts to remain separate from content and presentation. So far, the code examples we’ve discussed would run fine as long as they were included at the bottom of an HTML page. If, on the other hand, they were included in the head of the document, they would fail to work because, at that point, the document tree has not yet rendered.

jQuery allows us to run our code only when the DOM is ready. This is done by means of the $(document).ready handler. The beauty of this handler is that it doesn’t make the code wait until the entire page finishes loading, as would be the case with a typical window.onload event. With the (document).ready handler, your code will run as soon as the DOM tree is finished rendering, before all images and other media have finished loading, thus minimizing load time.

Let’s try running our previous code example when the DOM is ready:

$(document).ready(function(){
  $("li a").fadeOut().fadeIn();
});

The above code tells jQuery to run an anonymous function when the document tree is done rendering. The anonymous function contains the code we saw previously, which faded our anchors out, then immediately faded them back in again. This code could be included in the of the document, near the bottom of the page, or anywhere else, and it would run exactly the same way.

The “ready” event is just one of the many events available through jQuery’s API. Others include click, dblclick, load, blur, keydown, submit, and more.

Conclusion

jQuery is capable of so much more, and I’ve only just begun demonstrating its power and simplicity. But I think this suffices to provide a good overview, with some syntax basics, thus preparing beginning jQuery developers for easy-to-write and practical JavaScript code.

Getting Started with jQuery

Creating rich professional-level Flash media components isn’t simple for the ordinary designer or developer who doesn’t have a strong command of Flash/Flex. And even if you were a Flash/Flex guru, you’re probably looking for ways to save time so that you can focus on other things.

SnackTools, a suite of webapps for creating Flash components, is here to help. SnackTools aims to bring non-Flash developers a way to create customized, sophisticated and impressive Flash media components without having to know how to code.

Since SnackTools is web-based, there’s no need to install anything, and you can access your work any time and anywhere (with an internet connection).

Currently, the suite has BannerSnack, which lets you create rich interactive Flash banners, and PhotoSnack, which lets you create stunning photo galleries (perfect for portfolios).

BannerSnack

BannerSnack lets you create Flash banners using a very intuitive interface. It has standard templates that you can modify so that you don’t have to start from scratch. If you want a more customized solution, you can import your own graphics assets and use the tool to design your Flash banner. You can select a standard size or customize the size of your banner. Check out some examples of banners created with BannerSnack.

PhotoSnack

PhotoSnack is a web-based application that lets you generate stunning photo slideshows/galleries. You can choose from a wide variety of templates. It will literally take you a few minutes to get your slideshow set up: you pick a template, you upload your photos, then adjust the settings, and voila – your own professional-level slideshow. You can use it to display your portfolio, photos, and more. Here are some examples of PhotoSnack in action: Slideshow examples.
