Is Google PageRank Gone for Good?

Filed Under News, Featured | Leave a Comment 

First there was breathless anticipation. Then there was silence. Now there is dire speculation. Has Google given up on PageRank?


For bloggers who monetize their sites, PageRank has been the holy grail, one of the most sought-after numbers in history. I myself have been looking forward to a hefty dollop of PR love from Google for many moons now. According to some predictions, some of my sites were due for an increase to PR 6 or better. I was planning to increase my fee for advertising, and great joy was upon the earth. But now, there is serious talk that makes quite a bit of sense indicating that PR may become nothing more than a memory.

According to CashQuests.com, it would be inconsistent for Google to discourage paid links as they have and still support PR. Say it ain’t so! If this is true, we’d better focus on some other measures of blogging power, like our number of subscribers, and possibly Alexa ranking. Doing so is probably a good idea anyway, simply as a means of diversifying the strengths of our sites. In any case, time will tell what’s going to happen. In the meantime, let’s get back to work, people!

How to Capture Stills from Videos

Filed Under Lessons | Leave a Comment 

BSPlayer


Screen captures are a part of life for the avid blogger. They draw the attention of your readers and are useful to illustrate what you happen to be writing about. A problem you may run into, however, is when you try to capture a still from a video. When you use the typical screen capture software, you end up with a blank picture. That does you no good whatsoever. What can be done about this issue?

There are several ways to work around the problem, but I’ll focus on only one. Rather than play back the video with WMP, use an freeware alternative like BSPlayer. With BSPlayer you can easily grab a still by pausing playback, then right-clicking on the screen area and selecting Options>Capture frame. It’s that easy!
