I have read so much about the effectiveness of commenting on other blogs within your niche to establish a few things;

1. Backlinks that are do-follow
2. Building reputation
3. Creating a fan following

These are all good and there’s just that little extra that can build more trust with Google if you target blogs that are (.edu and .gov). Google loves these sites as they are highly trusted. It’s some what challenging to find a blog with one of these extensions that are do-follow blogs, but like anything else, you have to dig to get to the goods.

It’s important that you leave quality comments on something within your niche that you know well. Put that extra effort in commenting by providing examples and or references, it shows you are passionate about the subject matter.

To find government or educational blogs use the search string below in Google.

inurl:blogs +(gov|edu)

If you have other ideas please share them with us.

Happy commenting!

It’s our internet and it should remain open and widely available throughout the United States. I am not sure if the new government will agree with this, but the telephone companies do.

The Obama administration is extremely supportive of Net neutrality, and this could be one thing that will be good for all of us. We’re quite excited we can actually get things done,” said Frannie Wellings, telecom counsel for Sen. Byron Dorgan (D-N.D.).

Speaking at a telecommunications law and policy conference hosted by the University of Nebraska College of Law, Wellings said, “We definitely feel legislation is necessary” in the area of Net neutrality. (On the other hand, the Democrats have controlled Congress for two years and have advanced precisely zero Net neutrality bills, even though House Speaker Nancy Pelosi once called it a tremendously important topic.)

Representatives from the telecommunications industry insisted they have a common interest in maintaining open networks since their revenues come from carrying bits–but say that they’re OK with the current state of the law. New legislation, they say, is not the way to achieve open access–and could even have adverse results.

The Federal Communications Commission’s ruling against Comcast proved the commission’s approach of reviewing possible Net neutrality violations on a case-by-case basis is effective, said James Cicconi, senior executive vice president of external and legislative affairs for AT&T.

It sounds so strange that the two first names are so close in comparison. It’s almost 7 years now that our president Mr. Bush has not yet filled his promise of capture. The one thing I know for sure is that he (Bush) will go down as the worst president in US history, but that doesn’t bring back the 4000 soldiers who died for our country or the capture of Osama bin Laden.

I am not sure that Obama if elected, will do any better being handed off a huge deficit, and foreign relation issues. Where do we go from here?

Everyday I think of the two names and wonder if the anti-Christ will rise as our next president. The names are close, but not exact. I am not sure if our next generation will have a chance to even make it in the next 20 years. You can forget about Social Security, it will be gone long before I turn 65, which is in 19 years.

What are we to think come election time? I mean who else is even close to being elected? It’s definitely not the old man McCain. The man is going through father time and that is not what this country needs.

I love America for all it stands for, but America is not the same or even close to what it was back in the early 90’s. Our country is now stricken by poor leadership and the lack of good government.

I needed to vent as the 7th anniversary of 9/11 is approaching, and being close to that horrific day still makes me want to join the service and fight for revenge, but no service will take a 46 year old man. If they ever change the age limit to serve and fight for this country, just give me a pen!

God bless and a safe return to all our men and women who served with bravery for our country.

Public domain – I don’t think so!

When visiting a web site, it is so easy to right click and save as when you see a graphic image or photo that you like, or to view the source code and copy part of or all of the HTML coding because you like the look and layout.

The general and incorrect notion is that anything that is on the internet is public domain and may be taken without permission from the creator/owner. Some people actually think incorrectly that just because bits of web pages may be stored in one’s cache or because certain browsers allow one to do “file save as” moves or anything similar one may use such material as one wishes. This is false.

So what can you take from a web page?

Material found on the web may be copied freely only if the information is created by the

(1) Federal government
(2) If the copyright has expired
(3) The copyright has been abandoned by the holder. Therefore, “internet” and “public domain” are not synonymous.

How can you get something copyrighted? You can start by visiting the United States Copyright Office at http://www.copyright.gov/. It’s important that you understand what a copyright is and what can be copyrighted. Just because you state a copyright at the bottom of your web page, doesn’t mean you actually have a legal copyright. You must go through the process. You can use the “Search Copyright Records” to obtain validation of someone’s copyright.
