We need them at work, school, business, recreation and a lot more. Because of this importance, you will virtually find every household equipped with PCs or laptops. Since this device is important in our day to day activities, keeping the computer in excellent shape is a must. But since this is regularly used, computers would start to malfunction and result to slow PC XP. There are actually several reasons why computers start to slow down its performance and how to resolve them.</p><p>The very first cause of a slow PC XP is the registry. This is basically responsible for holding the entire computer system, hardware and the software preferences. Registry will be damaged once it is infected with dirt hence cleaning is a must. This will not only free up the space but registry cleaning would also solve some of your computer system&#8217;s errors that can give you computer problems in the near future. To clean the registry, you can find different cleaning registries in the market today. You just have to guarantee that what you will choose is updated and reliable. Cleaning your computer&#8217;s registry will do miracles on your computer&#8217;s performance and speed.</p><p>The spyware and viruses could also be one of the reasons of a slow PC XP. Once surfing the web, you will eventually encounter viruses and spywares that would infect your PC. Staying out of the internet is not an option instead, you have to make sure that your computer is installed with a virus or spyware scanner in order to prevent any virus infection. These spyware/virus scanner will clean and delete all these harmful viruses that could cause havoc to your computer&#8217;s entire performance. Do not settle for any substandard anti-spyware as this won&#8217;t help you in increasing your computer&#8217;s speed. What you need is a good quality antivirus that can do great wonders in your PC. This computer trouble must be immediately solved as this could not only slow PC XP but also put your computer to a complete halt.</p><p>And lastly, your computer&#8217;s slow performance could be the cause of too little memory. As too much computer breakthroughs happen, more and more computer programs need more RAM in order for the computer to run smoothly. A computer equipped with sufficient RAM is a must in order to let your computer perform its topnotch shape. Adequate RAM is also important especially if you are running multiple programs at a time. A computer with a Windows XP operating system can usually run with a 512 MB of memory. But if your computer is equipped with many programs and applications, it needs twice as much as RAM in order to perform faster.</p><p>There are still many other factors that could slow PC XP however the above mentioned factors are the most common. These three, corrupt registry, viruses and inadequate memory are the factors that you should be careful about in order not lose your computer&#8217;s speed.<br /> Kris Mainieri is an accomplished Computer Tech focusing on innovative and unique ways to help people take their computing performance to a whole new level free.</p><p>Learn more about<a href="http://pcprotectionsecrets.com/" target="_blank"> improving computer&#8217;s slow performance</a>.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.jasonfrovich.com/computer-security/there-are-many-reasons-why-your-computer-could-be-running-slow/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>1</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Triple The Speed Of Your PC!</title><link>http://www.jasonfrovich.com/computer-security/triple-speed/</link> <comments>http://www.jasonfrovich.com/computer-security/triple-speed/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 22 Jun 2009 19:35:05 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Jason Frovich</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Computer Security]]></category> <category><![CDATA[15 minutes]]></category> <category><![CDATA[bunch of stuff]]></category> <category><![CDATA[clean windows]]></category> <category><![CDATA[computer]]></category> <category><![CDATA[computer geek]]></category> <category><![CDATA[countless hours]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Dead Slow PC]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Email]]></category> <category><![CDATA[fix your PC]]></category> <category><![CDATA[former hacker]]></category> <category><![CDATA[free software programs]]></category> <category><![CDATA[money]]></category> <category><![CDATA[optimize]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Optimize and Secure]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Pc Secret Formula]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Speed Up]]></category> <category><![CDATA[spyware]]></category> <category><![CDATA[tools]]></category> <category><![CDATA[twenty bucks]]></category> <category><![CDATA[upgrading my pc]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Virus]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.jasonfrovich.com/?p=877</guid> <description><![CDATA[The other day I got an email about this program.

In this post, I&#8217;ll highlight some important points for search optimization. While there&#8217;s no a magic formula to make your site show up first on a search results page, there are some good practices when it comes to links, design, content, and the structure of your site.</p><p>First of all, as a reminder, Google organic search and AdSense are independent of each other. Displaying AdSense ads on a site won&#8217;t change the ranking of the site in Google search in any way. So it follows that sites containing AdSense ads don&#8217;t receive special treatment in Google search.</p><p>Ranking in Google search is based on many different algorithms, and optimization for search is a long, continuous process. For these reasons, and because the techniques might <a target="_blank" href="http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=35769#quality">violate our guidelines</a>, we recommend avoiding any techniques that claim to optimize your ranking very quickly or radically. If you have concerns or questions, you can consult other webmasters on a number of forums, including Google&#8217;s <a target="_blank" href="http://groups.google.com/group/google_webmaster_Help">official forum</a> for webmaster-related issues.</p><p>We encourage you to monitor the quality of your site&#8217;s backlinks &#8212; links from any site directing to your site. To increase your site&#8217;s popularity, check if other sites that discuss similar topics or have a similar reader base are aware your site exists.</p><p>Outgoing links are also important and should comply with our <a target="_blank" href="http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=66356">guidelines</a>. When you create a link to another site, we recommend first asking yourself: <i>&quot;Is this link going to be useful for my visitors?&quot;</i> or <i>&quot;Is this link likely to be clicked by my visitors?&quot;</i>. Don&#8217;t participate in link schemes or buy/sell links that pass PageRank, as it is against our guidelines and may hurt your site&#8217;s performance in our search results.</p><p>Here are some tips for structuring your site:</p><ul><li>Your pages should have a clear hierarchy and relevant internal links. We also recommend <a target="_blank" href="http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=35655">creating a Sitemap</a> and using <a target="_blank" href="https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/siteoverview">Google&#8217;s Webmaster Tools</a>.

It&#8217;s now called the <a href="http://adwords.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=71992" target="_blank">Site and Category Exclusion tool</a>, and it allows you to exclude certain catgegories of webpages from your content network campaigns in addition to excluding individual sites.</p><p>If you find that you&#8217;re repeatedly excluding many sites of the same type, either to <a href="http://adwords.blogspot.com/2008/01/google-content-network-tips-optimizing.html" target="_blank">optimize for the content network</a> or to further control your campaign&#8217;s exposure, using category exclusion can be a simpler way to control your ads&#8217; visibility. Category exclusion can be used with any type of campaign running on the content network: keyword-targeted or placement-targeted.</p><p>Here&#8217;s how category exclusion works: when we use our <a href="https://adwords.google.com/select/afc/contextual.html" target="_blank">contextual targeting technology</a> to scan a page in the Google content network and determine relevant ads to show, we also check to see if the content on the page matches any of the <a href="http://adwords.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=71503" target="_blank">topics</a> or <a href="http://adwords.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=71871" target="_blank">page types</a> available for exclusion. If there is a match between a category you&#8217;ve excluded and the page&#8217;s classification, your ads won&#8217;t show on that page. We classify pages dynamically, so even as the content of a page changes your ads should be prevented from showing for categories you&#8217;ve excluded.</p><p>Before using category exclusion, it&#8217;s important to consider the following points:<br /> &nbsp;</p><ul><li>All sites in the content network are already required to comply with Google&#8217;s <a href="https://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/answer.py?answer=48182" target="_blank">AdSense policies</a>. Several levels of <a href="http://adwords.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=9566" target="_blank">review</a> are in place to detect that pages in the network comply with these guidelines. However, some advertisers have requested the ability to avoid additional types of content that don&#8217;t meet their advertising goals, and we&#8217;ve released category exclusion in order to provide this control.<p> &nbsp;</li><li>Excluding a category could potentially block your ads from appearing on a number of relevant pages and severely impact your campaign performance. We recommend that you refer to the statistics provided in the Site and Category Exclusion tool before making any exclusions. Keep in mind that a <a href="http://adwords.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=6724" target="_blank">low clickthrough rate</a> on content network pages is not necessarily an indication of poor performance, especially if your goal is to maximize ROI. Further, your ads&#8217; clickthrough rate on the content network does not affect your quality score, minimum bids, or position on Google.com or other pages in the search network.<p> &nbsp;</li><li>While webpages are categorized to the best of our technology&#8217;s ability, excluding a category does not guarantee that you have excluded every related webpage. If you see that your ad has shown on an undesired webpage, you can exclude that page by adding the URL through the tool&#8217;s <a href="http://adwords.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=13249" target="_blank">Sites</a> tab.</li></ul><p> Category exclusion is our latest tool to give you increased control over your content network campaigns.
