Hakia Search Engine alternative to Google

Posted on October 30th, 2007 in BUZZ, Computer Tech, Firefox, Google, Practical Tech, Search Engine Optimization by Bulletz

I am forever frustrated by the way one must search through the internet. Ask has it close to right, but where can I just go to search the way that I think? My buddy Marisa just gave me a clue as to how I can do that.

The hakia Search Engine is still in beta phase, but prides itself on you being able to search the way you think and talk. For instance, if you really want to ask a question, go right ahead. The results may surprise you.

I am going to go play with it a bit more myself. I am rather pleased with them and am going to take full advantage of their Firefox extension.

    Maybe not to you, but to me it does. I can’t believe how many errors and shut downs I have had between yesterday and today. The stinking update screwed up my Firefox! It was near perfect before this last download. What have you all been dealing with in this latest release?

    Google is updating page rank, and I must say that I am not surprised the the new algorithm discounts the weight of those who have done heavy amounts of blatantly paid posts. Many a PayPerPoster is crying in their soup right now. It’s a shame that so many have been downgraded due to their involvement. Many a naysayer has predicted that this day would come, and now it has.

    I think it is going to drive those who do paid posting to work harder to do more content that is unpaid. It’s just the way that the Google bombs drop…metaphorically speaking.

  • Do It Yourself Logo Design

    Posted on October 6th, 2007 in Marketing by Bulletz

    One of the biggest issues for a company is to brand themselves. Even individuals, especially bloggers, need a brand. Logo Design is the easiest way to get your name and brand noticed. Many of us do not possess the exorbitant amount of funds or design know-how that it would take to get someone to design a logo, so what do we do?

    You either get a friend to do you a huge favor OR you can turn to moderately priced Do It Yourself Logo Design. I just tried their free demo to see what type of logo I could expect. There are a number of innovative designs for a plethora of businesses. It was so easy that I didn’t need to go find a tutorial about how to do it. With a few clicks I was well on my way to a unique logo for my company.

    When I was done, I had the option to buy one of five options from just the logo at $99, to custom made logo packets. For the more tech savvy, I would like to point out that even though I did Design a Logo Myself, I would be unable to download the file until I paid. The file comes in an EPS format so that you can put it in your favorite vector editing program and make the logo completely as you desire. For those of us not so tech savvy, you will find that you can buy a package with logos already made for brochures, post cards, and launch kits. The prices that they ask are well below the mark and you are allowed more flexibility than you would be with a conventional logo artist.
