As far as I know, Alexa recorded a visit to a web site from which our Toolbar installed on browsers such as Firefox and IE. Suppose we open a web site using a browser without installing the Alexa toolbar, it will not be recorded by Alexa. But with a browser that has been Alexa Toolbar installed, then Alexa will be recorded.

Actually, the toolbar is an agent software which will record and transmit to alexa server, any sites that we open. For accuracy, it is difficult to say very accurate. 

One web site had calculated that the amount Internet users who install the Alexa toolbar, less than 1%. But many people think that the only way to determine a site’s popularity ranking web only from Alexa. It’s not wrong. Beside Alexa, people rarely know. But actually
there is another website we can use, such as:
1. Google Adplanner
2. Google PageRank
3. Alexa
4. Yahoo Site Explorer
5. Compete
6. Quantcast
7. Feed Compare
8. Popuri.us
9. Socialmeter
10. Tweetvolume
11. Quarkbase
12. Blogpulse Profile
13. Technorati Blogging Central
14. Statbrain
15. Cubestat
16. dnScoop
17. Websiteoutlook
18. Yourwebsitevalue.com

So actually quite a lot of tools that can be used to determine the popularity of a site web. Stay where we want to exploit that. In addition there is a more precise again that is installing the application itself or using the tools there is some utility we can use:
1. Google Analytic
2. Piwik
3. Webalizer
4. Analog
5. Et cetera

Then what if we are in the Alexa ranking down or up? What are the implications? As an explanation previously there are many tools commonly used by companies that focus on the internet or portals that many tools. To determine the most valid or accurate, simply refers to the file your own web server logs.

For example in one case, we looked down on Alexa pageview, we compare with our log files. Log file in question is real or visitor who accessed yourportal.com. There are IP addresses of data accessed, what time, what the date accessed, what pages on click, how long and others.

So when we showed our log files there is an increase pageview or visitors, say 10%,
means that our real rose 10%. But if the Alexa fell 10%, meaning who accessed this site (which is its own alexa toolbar) is also down 10%. So once again we are the benchmark log file that is 100% accurate.

Advertisers, observers and practitioners must find ways simple. Anyone can access Alexa, so as to appear, that’s the most valid data. Then why do people refer to there? Because the log files belonging to a web site is the personal rights of the owner. 

Certainly do not want other people know what kind of real. For example, if a website visitor wants to say IP 10 million visitors per month. Is not that true? Log file it should be seen first. Could have
only 500 thousand or 1 Million IP per month. Alexa clear comparative data that is open so anyone only.

By knowing the methodology and how to work the Alexa already explained earlier, been unclear that the addition of users with different IP and clicking on the number who accessed the article or news in yourportal.com, meaning there is no way other than to innovate.

Many people think with a quick way to use the software, it also detects Alexa the weaknesses of previous systems and software to fix their engines so that more real close.

There are several strategies
    1. Layout / Web Design
    2. Speed access to your server
    3. Number of news / articles posted per day
  4. Additional channels or new services.

Let’s break down some bullet points above

a. Web Design of the web portal
For layout / web design yourportal.com is vital parameters. We know, usually accessed thinking only 6 seconds to decide whether a web site worth the click further. If we could create something that is attractive in the eyes of them, they will follow up. It is also important for yourportal.com who accessed the first time see this site.

b. Access Speed
User yourportal.com currently approximately 90% came from local sources. Location is right on the server
Indonesia and the ISP must have a very fast link to the IIX (Indonesia Internet Exchange where all the ISP’s peering in Indonesia). Today large ISPs have been using speed for 1 Gbps or 1000 Mbps to connect to the IIX. In comparison, home Internet access is usually uses only 0.3 Mbps.

The second, a server at the colocation server architecture should be optimized so that the customer as soon as possible reading news on the web. This means that once they click, if you can in 1 – 2 seconds already show what they submit. By the terms of their access to the internet no problem. Third, the architecture, the server needs to be regulated again functioning load Balancer, primary and slave databases, cluster database, web server. It aims to make the user very quickly when yourportal.com access.

c. Total news posted daily

d. Additional unique channels and services

So, the easiest way is trying to change the time zone after the installation process is completed. Here is that simple command


koro@kecapi:/etc$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
[sudo] password for koro:

koro@kecapi:/etc$ date
Wed Apr 14 10:52:47 WIT 2010


Do not forget to choose your time area according to your geographic region.

So I browse to research.microsoft.com ang got this amazing understanding on Reusable software component.
I give you the link here. Of course, this will help me too if I lost the file again.

Just check this file.

May be the the title of this article is also too simple for most people around the globe, using Ubuntu. But I got problem with this.

Why? Because I’m using Ubuntu 9.04 on my powerpc processor aka ibook G4. And when I type some keywords on google, some pages hint me to use gnash and mozilla-plugin-gnash

So you can type

$ sudo apt-get install gnash

and don’t forget too

$ sudo apt-get install mozilla-plugin-gnash

But if you prefer to use the GUI based, just click System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager and then search the package above.

Of course your Ubuntu PowerPC box will be smile.

I use Ubuntu 9.04 and mysql server 5.0.75. Everything looked okay, until I got this message when proceed the wordpress wizard.

Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 6815744) (tried to allocate 4864 bytes) in /home/koro/public_html/wp-includes/kses.php on line 1026

I check the RAM usage about the lack of memory above

koro@koro:~$ free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 256 252 3 0 0 0
-/+ buffers/cache: 252 3
Swap: 0 0 0

So I try to change the RAM to unlimited, and it works well. But I think 384 M will be enough. Before get the error message, of course I need to setup a little by creating the databases needed and create also the user for database.

Here is these commands

mysql> create user 'koro'@'localhost' identified by 'somepass';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.03 sec)

mysql> grant all privileges on korowp.* to 'koro'@'localhost';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.03 sec)

mysql> create database korowp;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

But this cartoon will make you laugh or may be hate. Even you will ignore this.

Original link came from http://abstrusegoose.com/249

I just want to share here, even you may be already know and maintaining the systems. But I think the others want to know accord to my humble opinion. Below is the list of Virtual Machine Software or Software Emulator

1. XEN
2. OpenVZ
3. KVM
4. Virtuozzo

You can know more about that software when you try to google them. There are many other software that can be used as software emulator or virtual machine. If I have more time, I will try to write about what the advantage and disadvantage using that software

So I think I need to download the Lotus Notes using my Linux Box which is colocated at an ISP in Jakarta.
But the problem is the link given by IBM uses SSL.

So I just give a command like this

$ wget -b -c –tries=0 –no-check-certificate https://some.domain.com/filename.ext

Completely, I copy-and-paste the message

When I replace the server with the new one, the database needed to be restored manually. I felt that I already backup the account, but this blog used another database. So that’s why I forget this blog.

Of course I also can’t guarantee to update this blog regularly. But well, let’s look later.
