What use is a business if nobody knows it, and what good is a website if nobody can find it? Just like a brick and mortal business needs to market itself in the real world, the bits and bytes businesses need to market themselves at the World Wide Web as well. And internet marketing is a lot more than increasing your searching engine visibility and getting some links. A complete internet marketing strategy needs to take care of the SERP’s, social networking, conversion, and even customer service.

There are two approaches to go for any of these targets and the SEO guys classify them as white hat and black hat methods. In simple words, white hat approach is gradual but long term and sustainable, it will take time before you are rewarded, but the reward will be long lasting, which is not the case with black hat, it may give a short term solution, but you are always running a risk of getting penalized by Google, or even worse, getting no sales whatsoever. Certainly not worth it, if you ask me.

Many internet marketing, or SEO firms have flowery promises to entice customers, like guaranteed traffic and rankings, those who are well versed with the ins and outs of internet marketing knows that both rankings or increased traffic next to ineffective (unless you are ranking for the right keywords and your traffic consists of targeted customers). So, stay wary of such shoddy operators who are starting from misleading promises, because lower rankings are better than getting the kick (AKA penalty) from Google, or even a ban.

As stated in the title, these Internet Marketing firms can do more harm to your website than good, why? Because they will be using spam, unethical techniques, and black hat methods. Because these companies don’t have the patience, knowledge, or expertise to carry out a proper internet marketing campaign, they will rely on short-cuts, which are extremely risky in the longer run. Let’s take a quick look at what kind of risky short-cuts they may take …

1. Buying links: A big no, as far as Google guidelines are concerned. If you are an online business, you’ve got to respect Google, and play by the Google’s rules. Buying links can produce quick results but sooner or later, big ‘G’ is going to find out and your rankings will fall like the building that goes down by controlled demolition.

2. Placing links on their own network of websites: Some of these firms have low quality websites, made solely for giving their clients’ website a quick boost in SERP. Problem with this method is that as soon as you stop working with these companies, they will remove your links, the outcome is going to be the same; a sudden drop in ranking that will be extremely difficult to reclaim.

3. Cloaking: Showing different contents to users and spiders, and this one is not even that effective. There are a number of ways of cloaking but no matter which method you use, stuffing keywords in hidden text is spam, black hat, unethical, and warrants punishment.

4. Spam: Apart from stuffing your website with keywords, these agencies will use run of the mill, low quality content to get the back links with the methods like article marketing or blog commenting. Not only these methods are of little or no use, but also your business name accompanying such content will give your business a bad reputation.

5. Social Media Spam: The companies will use the social networks like Facebook or Twitter by creating fake profiles and sending marketing messages to random people. Again, a futile practice that will do more harm than good.

The purpose of stating these methods was to warn that if you are not careful while choosing your marketing firm, or not overseeing their practices, the company will resort to these tactics instead of doing SEO the proper way. The website might do well for some time, but as soon as the website gets caught, it will defeat the whole purpose of marketing. It is tempting to go for a company that is talking big and promising wonders, but beware of the consequences when you are trying to get maximum results while opting for the cheapest options. Sneaky practices are short termed and will stop working eventually, even if your page or site manages to avoid penalty.

Twitter is not only available on the Earth but it has reached in the Space also.

Astronauts in space finally have Internet access, and  they sent a very first tweet directly from the space.

Space Station received a special software upgrade- personal access to the Internet and the World Wide Web via the ultimate wireless connection.

Expedition 22 Flight Engineer T.J. Creamer made first use of the new system Friday, when he posted the first unassisted update to his Twitter account, @Astro_TJ, from the space station. Previous tweets from space had to be e-mailed to the ground where support personnel posted them to the astronaut’s Twitter account.
“Hello Twitterverse! We r now LIVE tweeting from the International Space Station — the 1st live tweet from Space! More soon, send your ?s”
This personal Web access, called the Crew Support LAN, takes advantage of existing communication links to and from the station and gives astronauts the ability to browse and use the Web. The system will provide astronauts with direct private communications to enhance their quality of life during long-duration missions by helping to ease the isolation associated with life in a closed environment.
During periods when the station is actively communicating with the ground using high-speed Ku-band communications, the crew will have remote access to the Internet via a ground computer. The crew will view the desktop of the ground computer using an onboard laptop and interact remotely with their keyboard touchpad.

To reach another person on the Internet you have to type an address into your computer – a name or a number. That address has to be unique so computers know where to find each other. ICANN coordinates these unique identifiers across the world. Without that coordination we wouldn’t have one global Internet.

ICANN terminated its accreditation agreement with three registrars – Hosting365 Inc., OOO “Russian Registrar” and R.B. Data Net LTD for failure to comply with the requirements of the Registrar Accreditation Agreement (RAA).

The RAA is the contract between ICANN and registrars that governs the registration of domain names under generic top-level domains such as dot-com and dot-org.
