UNDERGROUND BLOGGING IN IRAN

Tuesday, June 16th, 2009

We had the same situation in Lithuania from 1866 to 1904 as it is in Iran nowadays. So called “knygnešiai” secretly brought to people books and papers written in forbidden lithuanian language. Now iranian people use blogs to express their free will and free thoughts. They have a spiritual support here in Lithuania.

2. Most of them think, that social media is a kind of narcissism.

4. Nearly all people agree, that social networking has advantages, but they prefer to talk more about disadvantages.

FUTURE OF SEO – PASSED LINKS

Tuesday, June 9th, 2009

What are “passed links”? According to AVC passed links are:

1) Email – a passed link sent via email from one friend to another
2) Facebook – a passed link sent from one friend to many friends
3) Twitter – a passed link sent out for anyone who cares to see it

and so on. Traffic of the website depends nowadays more and more on these links. You may read full analysis at “The Power of Passed Links”.
