Coming Soon | Samsung Galaxy S3 [Specs Leaked]

After the success of Samsung Galaxy S2, it seems as if the next generation Samsung Smartphone - Samsung Galaxy S3 - is on its way to be launched with the all-new Quad-Core Exynos Processor, if the rumors are to be believed.

Samsung Galaxy S3

The Samsung Galaxy S3 would be powered by a Quad-Core Exynos 4412 Processor which would clock at 1.5GHz. It is a 32nm quad-core processor which is designed using ARM Cortex A9 cores.

The phone is expected to feature a 4.6inch super AMOLED plus display, 2 GB of RAM and a 12-megapixel Camera with a BSI sensor. It would run on the latest version of Android 4.0 - Ice Cream Sandwich with refreshed TouchWiz skin.

The phone would support 4G LTE and have NFC feature with a curved glass design.

The new Exynos processor would not only improve the performance by 20% but it would also reduce the power consumption of the device by 30%. The graphics of this processor is also rumored to be 5 times better as compared to its previous version processor as it would feature the ARM Mali-T604 GPU.

On the designing front, Galaxy S3 is expected to be slimmer that Galaxy S2 and it doesn't even feature a solitary button centered at the bottom of the phone which would help it to fit in a larger screen.

The leaked snap of the phone, that was published on Phandroid shows Galaxy S3 with these whooping specs (but the snap doesn't seem to be original as it has some grammatical errors on it).

Samsung is expected to launch Galaxy S3 near to the launch of Apple iPhone 5 in end of Q1 of 2012 which might just prove to be the 'Apple iPhone Killer'.

How To | 6 Ways To Improve Your Blog's Alexa Rank

Alexa Rank is the tool which is used to measure a blog’s traffic and popularity. Webmasters, advertisers and ad networks use your blog’s Alexa rank to determine the worth of a link on your website. Advertisers and other people approach you after seeing your blog’s Alexa rank. So improving one's Alexa Rank therefore becomes very much important to attract more and more people to your blog and show your 'level' in the Blog-o-sphere.

Improve Alexa Ranking

What's Alexa ?

Alexa is the leading provider of free, global web metrics. Search Alexa to discover the most successful sites on the web by keyword, category, or country.

Why Improve Alexa Ranking ?

You may want to increase your Alexa rank because advertisers, ad networkers use it as a gauge to determine the popularity of your blog. So if you are someone who is making money from advertising, you would definitely want to increase your alexa rank as it helps you bargain for an ad price. Alexa rating determines your blog's status. The higher the ranking of a blog, a growing number of "jobs / tasks" that you will receive, and the more money that flows to your account.

How To Improve Alexa Ranking ?

1. Install Alexa Toolbar : It may seem to you as a tried-and-tested tactic to increase your ranking, however, it isn't. Installing Alexa Toolbar would only track my visits, as the tool bar is installed on my browsers not on my visitor's browser and it would even make my browsing speed slower. So, logically it doesn't make sense.

2. Use Alexa Rank Widget : Many blog owners found this tip useful. Placing Alexa Rank Widget in your blog helps a lot as the javascript in the widget should be able to track your  visitors, page views etc.

3. Write About Alexa : Write a post related to Alexa. Many bloggers love to learn the tips for improving Alexa rank. They’ll link to you and send you targeted traffic. It will not only help the bloggers who are looking for ways to increase Alexa rank but also it alerts Alexa and their bots will crawl your content as the keyword “Alexa” will repeat up in your blog.

4. Get Reviewed On Alexa : Some bloggers claim this tip has something to do with Alexa rank. Reviews are the best ways people look for when they want to decide on things. Try to increase reviews and ratings for your Alexa website profile.

5. Update Your Blog Regularly : Alexa rank automatically improves if you update your blog frequently with good contents. But always remember, it's not only about quantity, what matters is the quality of the posts you put up on your blog.

6. Claim Your Blog : Create an Alexa account or use your existing Facebook account and claim your blog. It helps the Alexa guys to recognize your website and makes you a trusted source of information for the readers.

Though many people don’t believe in Alexa rankings, it is still ruling the blog-o-sphere.

Apart from the above mentioned tactics that would help you to improve your ranking, one shouldn't forget the basics like producing high-quality content, as after all, quality of the content you write is what matters.

How To | 6 Best Ways To Optimize Your Blog

Blogging is all about communicating your thoughts and opinions on a particular subject to readers and subscribers who are looking out for informative posts on the subject. But to make this information reach out to these readers and subscribers, one needs to optimize one's blog.

Search Engine Optimization or SEO is a term most of the bloggers are aware of. It basically aims to raise the quantity and quality of traffic that a blog receives. It helps a blogger's post to become visible on the Search Engines listings which drives more traffic to the blog.

After the recent Google Panda Update which resulted in instant decrease in the ranking of many websites and blogs for various reasons, optimization of your website or blog for better Search Engine Ranking and Traffic (SEO) is very important to keep your blog visible in Search Engines which would help to drive traffic to your blog and ultimately help you build up a solid base of genuinely interested readers.

Following are 5 proven ways that would help in optimizing your blog. Try them out and watch how they work for you :

1. Write High-Quality Content :

Forget about quantity. It’s important to develop quality.

It’s a well-known fact that you need to write quality content on your blog and for your guest posts if you want to attract more and more traffic. It’s important to create the best information to win the hearts of your readers. Focus on developing the very best content for your audience. You should focus on writing detailed articles rather than writing short articles as it’s an indication that you know the topic in and out. Writing quality information provides opportunities to market yourself.

2. Focus On You Niche :

Concentrate and focus your content in one particular and specific niche.

Google is desperate for blogs and sites that are well-defined, in terms of what they actually do. When people see that your content is focused on one topic that is of interest to them they will continue to come back for more or subscribe to your feed. Ask yourself, which niche you love most and most comfortable writing about. Grab that niche! And one last word, there is always chance to improve.

3. Make Your Blog Easy To Navigate :

When people are confused about your blog or site, Google would follow too.

Web site navigation is like a set of signposts, helping visitors understand what content is on the site and making it easy for them to find what they’re looking for. If your visitors cannot figure out what you do, how to contact you, were to read your “popular posts” or whatever you call it, Google spiders won’t either. Without proper navigation, a Web site becomes just a useless jumble of content, which will frustrate visitors and make them unlikely to visit again.

4. Make Your Blog Social-Friendly :

The higher the quality of your networking, the more likely it is that someone will take the time to read your blog.

Social media sites are popping up everywhere with Twitter, Facebook, Digg and Delicious leading the pack. Networking is equal to communication; it is a relatively easy way to self-promote a blog site. Using this type of networking does require patience and persistence though but at some point in time you will begin to see progress, popularity will grow and blog click through traffic will increase. Whatever your niche is, you can streamline your marketing campaigns to align with customer’s choice.

5. Focus On Quality Backlinks :

There are no magic shortcuts, building quality backlinks takes work

Backlinks are really important in the world of Search Engine Optimization. Building backlinks for websites gives the added advantage of site ranking in search engines, improved traffic, increased sales & online business and so on.  It not only assists your website by connecting with other high quality sites, but also enhances the search engine ranking positions. It's not simple. It's not easy. In fact, it requires creativity and dedication. So, effectiveness should be taken to build quality links in terms of increasing traffic & business to a site.

These are some of the best ways by which you can optimize your blog and drive more traffic to your blog. Share your opinions and reactions . We'll surely get back to ya'soon..!!
