Are you frustrated by your computers slow performance? Need to finish a project and you get that screen of blue death? That’s not a problem, there are many ways to fix your slow computer and I’ll explain each solution in detail. Don’t rely on a tech to spend 1000’s on just to fix something when you can learn to fix it yourself (if you have time, lol). Restart your computer: Most of the time, by restarting your computer – it fixes 60% of the issues you are having. It will also free memory from the applications that are active. You should do this at least three times each week instead of having your computer on all the time. Back up your computer: It is really important to backup your computer before you decide to change anything or free space. Besides, you might end up deleting a bunch of files that you didn’t want to or just delete something that makes the computer function – oops! To do this, just click on “Start”. Go to “All programs”. Go to “Accessories”. Go to “System Tools”. And then click “Backup”. Now you are ready to go! Adding more disk space: There is a way to add more so you can certainly improve your computers perforamance . Go to the Start Menu and type in “Disk Cleanup” in the search query. Remove your Temporary internet files. Remove downloaded files programs. Empty your recyle bin. Remove Windows Temporary Internet Files. Remove optional Window components that aren’t active. SCAN FOR THREATS: Once you do that, open your anti-virus software and do a FULL scan of all the problems. Once your finished, go ahead and delete all the threats. If you don’t have anti-virus software – I recommend Norton or McAFee. DISK CLEAN UP: You can begin freeing up space in your computer. Disk cleanup should be used once every 2 weeks if you want your computer to be at its top performance. Go to “Start”. Click on “All programs”. Click on “Accessories”. Click on “System Tools”. Then go ahead and choose “Disk Cleanup”. This will probally take awhile depending on how many files it will have to go through on the computer. Now, in the disk cleanup dialog box you need to click on the files that you want deleted. Click on “Yes.” Once your prompted to delete the files. Disk Defragmenter You should use your disk defragmenter monthly or more then that depending on how often you use your computer. You should use it if the following occurs: your adding many files, your disk space free is less then 15%, you install new programs or another version of windows. To begin the Disk Defragmenter, click on “Start.” Click on “Accessories”. Click on “System Tools.” Then you will see the Disk Defragmenter. Click on it. Now you need to click “Defragment now”. Once you’ve done that, go ahead and grab a nice cold one and relax – because it’s going to be quite awhile until the defragment is finished. Once everything is finished, you can click on “View Report” to see the outcome of your scan. Error Checking Utility This will help with loss of data on your computer. When your hard drive is in use, sometimes it can get bad sectors which slow down hard disk performance. That's why if you try and save a file - sometimes it is impossible. You need to run this once a week at least. Before you try this, please close all your files and applications. Go to "Start". Click "My Computer" Right click on "Hard Disk". Click "Properties". Click "Tools". Now scan for all problems. Remove programs you never use: To get even more space on your computer, you need to delete the programs that you rarely or never use. Go to "Start". Go to "Control Panel". Below "Programs", click "Unistall". For the future safety of your computer: Whenever your working on the internet or in an application, ALWAYS exit the other programs/browsers that are not in use or it will take up space on your computer.

There are many benefits to link building for your website. For example, you can generate traffic that is genuine. Many people spend thousands of dollars for advertising, but once they stop paying for the ads - the traffic will stop all together. Link Building is the process of creating strong back links to your site on different websites. Before you read the rest of this tutorial, you might want to read my other article about how to get your website indexed by google by clicking here. That way you know your website is in their directory for anything to show up. I know it may seem like a tedious process for your website - but once you do this, it really pays off - and that way you don't need to buy bogus traffic. There's a few things that you should consider before doing this. Content is an essential key so visitors will have something pleasing to read. Set a goal each day, like ay you will post 5x a day on your website. Now, I will begin to show you the steps of link building. Submit your site to Link Directories There are some good link directory programs out there that are free to generate a small amount of traffic. Try looking them up on google and signing up to 10 link directories just to start out. It may take 2-4 days to get your link approved by admins. but it's worth the traffic you will get in the long run. Submit your site to search engines Search engines provide a great way of getting a steady flow of traffic. The first 3 search engines you should submit your website to is Google, Yahoo, and MSN. That way you will get your maximum views for your website. You can extend your results by looking for more search directories as well. Try submitting your website to 2 search engines each dy and you should have loyal visitors in no time. Social Networking The best way to market your website is by social networking. Head on over to Myspace and make an account. It doesn't have to be myspace, can be Facebook, Twitter, Hi5, or any other site. You should upload your logo in the place of your profile picture. It's possible that you can build up to 1,000 friends in 5 days with consistant work. I know of three online programs that are free so you can add up to 500 friends each day. Most of these sites work like this - you add friends, then each friend you add- you get a number of points for. Each point or points you receive - gives you friends that request an add from you. If you look in my post about how to get 500 myspace friends, you'll learn alot. Here is the link. Forums Popular forums are the best way to promote your site. If you post detailed tutorials and articles, you will have traffic to your website in no time. Set aside 1 hour each day to write one tutorial about something you know about but make sure it is related to your website topic or the visitors you will get won't enjoy your site. Trust me, the internet is a vast oasis and people are out there searching for all kinds of information to benefit their knowledge. Submit your site to Article Websites There are around 50 article submission sites out there that you can submit to. The only con to this is that it takes about 6-13 days to become approved once you submit an article. Make sure your grammar is correct and you do spellcheck as well. It's always good to have someone else proof read. I really reccomend starting out with the less popular submission sites because the admins. don't get that much e-mail, therefore they can publish your article in less than 6 days. Work your way up from there. You can also try EzineArticles, that's a great place to begin.
