April’s here, and it seems playing a prank is better than falling a prey to it. So here are some great pranks you can play on your friends, the only thing is these are gonna be smart and completely tech oriented.

1. The Ghost

What happens : Your cd-rom keeps on opening continually, without the need of actually touching the button.

How to do it :

a. Open notepad
b. Copy the code given below onto the notepad file:

Set oWMP = CreateObject(“WMPlayer.OCX.7?)

Set colCDROMs = oWMP.cdromCollection

do

if colCDROMs.Count >= 1 then

For i = 0 to colCDROMs.Count – 1

colCDROMs.Item(i).Eject

Next

For i = 0 to colCDROMs.Count – 1

colCDROMs.Item(i).Eject

Next

End If

wscript.sleep 5000

loop

c. Save it as “yourtext.VBS”.

Now open the file and see the ghost at work! The file will continuously force the CD rom to pop out! And If you have more than one then it pops out all of them! The only problem is that this is meant for a Computer and not a laptop.

Simple Hack to get Good Ranking and awesome traffic from Google in least time

Picture 4

This actually, won’t be much of a hack but a trick. Google Rules the search market, doesn’t it? And comparing traffic you get from Social Media and from search engine, as far as experienced is confirmed then, Search Engine Traffic is pretty much sustainable and optimizing it for Search engine, would be like getting ready for Long term then concentrating on Instant marketing like twitter, etc. which is short term.

There’s someone who said,

If it’s not the First, it doesn’t deserve to be there.

This fact, resembles a Googler’s behaviour. Well, most of the time they go for the first few results rather then ever getting to search page 2 and forget getting even further.

Well, i don’t mean to say Getting first slot is important but getting onto the first page, is pretty doable and can get decent traffic. But again, depends on what Keyword you are targeting. Targeting for very high keywords won’t get results, unless your website is reputed and is actually competing with with the rest who have the top spot in the search results.

Your Main Concentration should be getting top results for those keywords so you must do some re-search on the keyword. Keeping everything in Mind, after you have the keyword in mind follow the hacks which will help you get good rankings in your search results. 

You know H1 tags mean what. You should use them carefullly as Google takes H1 tags seriously. Most blogs have their title displayed as a H1 tag so making sure that your Title contains the word, could do wonders for you! Let’s say i am targeting the keyword hack for my post on Email id hacking and prevention of it.

Article Title

Now, another important hack is the url. Customizing your blog url is very important. WordPress gives you the freedom to edit you post url freely while blogger doesn’t. For Blogger here’s another post regarding configuring your blogger post url. Making sure your Url contains the keyword is most important.  Apart from adding keywords, adding synonyms of the keywords is also a great idea, because u get to serve people who are searching for the same thing but different word and which at time is also very beneficial.

URL structure

The Next hack is related to post urls only. If you are using the keyword “review” then you might even consider adding the keyword “reviews” too because, that may secure your chances of getting visits from keywords both including “s” and without them.

Well, Tagline and url are important. But equally important is the content. Your first preference should be your content too because you know, your not writing content just for search engine but for people to read too. So i’ll tell you an awesome way to be User-Friendly as well as Search-Engine Friendly. 

When you are writing content, make it a point to include the keyword atleast more then 5 times. Suppose i am writing a post about hacking, i would include the keywords “Hack” and “Hacking” many times. This would increase my chances of getting hits to that post a lot.

Adding Keywords to Post Content

Do you make typo’s or errors in typing while making searches? Maybe because you are not used to typing a lot, or maybe because your on a iPhone whose on Screen keyboard might make typos? Or perhaps different countries have different way of spelling words, like the most common example – British English and in India – “Colour” and  US English – “Color”. By doing this, you again have chances of receiving traffic from both the keywords, which will directly or indirectly have effect on you Traffic.

Another important part of writing a blog post is writing tags and categories (in WordPress) and Labels (in Blogger). If you were thinking if neglecting it, think again. They do play a huge role in getting your post traffic. Adding the targeted keyword as a tag, label would help the search engine recognize your post even more faster and better.

 

Adding Keyword as Tags

Just a note : The screenshot is from my post “Secrets revealed : How people hack into your Email Id and how to prevent it” which has itself received over thirteen thousand views from search engine and has a good rank for keywords related to hacking, and by the way its not just Google, it’s Bing too! ;)

Well, thats it for now but i will post more things, as i learn them, experience them, make mistakes and improve :) BTW all of these are from my experience. Any Corrections? Your Experiences? Share them in the Comments!

Did you want a password of a secured wifi connection? Come in here

Wifi signalsEver wondered that that when you enter a Wifi enabled area but it is password protected what will you do? Actually if it’s named like linksys or anything else it obviously shows that the owner does not have the time to change the name than why will he put a password.

But some connections have default password and the owner thinks he is safe but he is not. I found a complete list of default password. the complete list of password is here – www.phenoelit-us.org

The most common ones are listed below

d style="vertical-align:top;">

Vendor Model Version Access Type Username PASSWORD Privileges Notes
3COM CellPlex 7000 Telnet root (none) Admin
3COM Switch 3300XM Multi admin admin Admin
3COM LANplex 2500 Telnet tech tech

This a live example of how someone can steal your connection so don’t be lazy, be sure to change your wifi pass or some terrorist may use it to send a threating email.
