Everyone talks about SEO optimization. You must make an on-page, must have in-links, must have a blog, ect …. But one of the most important and easiest things have many people forgot. If you have not thought about before, it is high time to start doing it now. Make sure that the right keywords are in the URL of everyone of your article! Google, Yahoo and Microsoft are taking very good on the URL, and ranking your article better in Serp.

Say that your web page or blog is about Marbella. Then you’ll write a lot of articles on Marbella. Sample article titles like: “The best restaurants in Marbella, Five tips in Marbella for the summer” and ”Marbella history”

To improve your chances to be found in the search engines for the word Marbella is that they must include in your URL. We take the article entitled “Marbella history.” Your URL may look like this: http://www.sundream-estate.com/new-43-marbella-history.html As you can see is “/ Marbella-restaurants” the piece that you decide yourself when you write your article and here is the key word Marbella with which you are investing extra in order to be found by search engine, also the word restaurants get a good position. Working a lot to finding the right keywords to the URL; it is worth gold.

A new search service from Google, is looking for pictures that are similar. The similarity can be both form and color type of image.

Google has launched a new image search, “Similar Images“. It is available in the “Google Labs” where new features and services are tested before they’re launched officially or abandoned. As the name of the new service suggests, is to search for images similar to each other. In search box, write you in what you’re looking for. For example, a bus.

The results of the search will be a wide range of bus pictures. In the next step can refine your search by image size, such as color choice or whether it should be a news image, a photo or a drawing.

If you want a picture of a yellow bus of a certain type, which is taken from right, on a picture, then  click on the “Similar Images”. Then comes a long series of similar images. Hopefully, such a you looking for.

It is in this step, the new service/tools has its strengths. It is in this step, the new service has its strengths. In other search engines, it can be quite difficult to quickly find the “yellow bus with lengthy front is photographed from the right oblique angle from the front.” A very good tool for me, when I’m looking for good and special pictures of villas and apartments in Marbella with sea view and Gibraltar in the background, for example.

Google has not yet provided any detailed information about its new service. However, according to SF Gate, a combination of automated image recognition, metadata and the tags that are linked to the hundreds of millions of images that are registered in the Google databases. A competitor to the “Similar Images” is Microsoft’s “Live Search”. It has slightly different functions for the image increase, but not things looking up just “similar images”.

I am very fond of the typography and fonts. A contract looks more elegant with a beautiful font. On Sundream Estate have we found that clients who buys luxury villas and apartments want an elegant contract, more than the buyers of a normal apartment. Now I found a good list that fits nicely to link to. Web Design Ledge has looking up 30 elegant serifs, fonts that you can free download and use freely.

For those of you who are not familiar with the concept of serifs, so I can tell you that it’s the small tag located on the characters. Take a look at the letter T. In a serifs font, you will see tags reside at the edges and bottom. This compares with a sans-serif font (or linear type, also can call it in English) without serifs.
Times is an example of a common serifs font. Helvetica (Arial) are examples of without serifs.

Economic fonts have started to appear in crisis times. I found an article from Smashing Magazine where they lists 15 free fonts, more or less good. In their list are also Eco Font, a font where the letters have small holes which pull down about 15% on ink usage.

The batteries in a laptop can always be better. I have some advice on what you can do to battery life will be longer. First, you can turn off the wireless network, and turn down the brightness of the screen. But apart from such stuff, so it is important to take care of your battery. The wear is and the more they wear, the less battery life. Laptop cumputers are usually battery-type Li-ion. Previously used NiMH and NiCd, but is now the main batteries Li-ion. It is worth knowing about these batteries, is that they hate the heat and high temperatures. The heat makes them inferior, and therefore there are some important tips you should think about when you use your computer.

1. Always use the laptop on a hard surface. Sitting in your apartment with the laptop in bed or in the knee is not a good idea. Always try to put it on a surface that is suitable for heat removal. A standard pillow is thus completely worthless. There are several laptop table to buy, if you like to work in bed.

2. Do not charge the battery when you are working with the laptop. When you use your computer, it becomes hot. And when you charge the battery, then it is already hot. Together, it is of course a very warm and unfriendly situation for Li-ion battery.

3. Make sure the fan is working and that there is good room to breathe in and out of air. To take the example of having the computer in bed or on a pillow. Hot air is blown into and the hot air can barely get out because the fabric fouling fan holes. It is totally crazy hot in the computer and it is not good for either the battery or the rest of the hardware.

4. Don’t leave the laptop in a hot car  in the summer. If you have your computer, and it has you are because it is a laptop, you should not lie in the car in summer. You know how hot it can be in a parked car in the sun. Here in Marbella is it HOT in the summer.
