Free One Year License with Uniblue DiskRescue 2009 - Best Defragmenting Tool

To know something about Defragmentation you can go here. Why we need to Defrag the hard disk ? How does it improve performance of the system ? How does defragging increase disk space ? All are answered below. Don't forget to read.



Why we need to defrag the hard disk ?

To improve performance and recover lost disk space defragging is important for a pc. Its keeps all the data in easy readable format. if you don't defrag your hard disk it begans to lose performance and slowly reduce the capacity of data. You will be aware if your hard disk is running slowly then this will affect the performance of the system. especially in games when frame rate is important.

How does it improve performance ?

When you defrag your hard disk you re-arrange the order in which the data is stored on the drive. The obvious question here is why doesn't the PC store the data in the correct way in the first place? In an ideal situation (such as a blank disk) the PC would do these as a first option. However with the amount of data being deleted and wrote to the disk every second the PC is on, it is no wonder that the data cannot be stored together. Example : Say you write 3 files to a disk all 10 mb in size the data would all be in a line each 10mb after the other.But now lets say that you decide to delete the middle file as its no longer any use to you. You now have a gap inbetween your files. Lets say this time you write a file of 15mb in size. This file will be written in the first 10Mb of space and the remaining 5Mb added to the backend of the free space.As you can imagine with the millions of files being written to and deleted from the disk each day so defragging the disk helps to keep all the data in easy readable format.

Spend 150 mins a day and drive 1000 daily views to your blog

First of all I would say im not an expert, I just share my idea and this would work 100% sure. Many of us who wants to learn and share knowledge and who have just started blogging seriously can't grow their blog initially more than 100 page views. I was one among them last month. but sudden changes happens in life often. Only you need to put hardwork and patience. You're on your way to Success! :-)



Till last month my blog was getting less than 100 page views, but now it has grown up little to 500 views. So thought of sharing the process of 150 minutes which i spend daily. There is a saying " Rome wasn't built in a day " so you can't achieve 1000 views in a day. Spend 150 mins daily for atleast one month, you can gradually see the difference in your blog. Here is a simple strategy that will certainly increase your blog traffic and make you break the 1,000 daily page views. You need to follow just Four steps which is said below :

* First Step : (One hour)

Spend One hour on researching and writing killer articles. Be sure that you post one killer article every week or once every 15 days. If your not familiar with the term killer article " its nothing but a huge long article which does research on something like this - example : Top List of PDF Readers and Tools, Top 15 Tools for Twitter, 10 Top Right Click Tools For Windows, and You can see more killer articles on web designers blog like 100 free resources. " these are called killer articles. It gives a giant list of resources , detailed tutorial on how to do things. Mainly it should make visitors to bookmark and comment on it !. Killer articles take minimum of 5 to 10 hours of work, so spend one hour daily on the same piece of work. Result of these killer articles helps you to promote your blog and bring new readers aboard.

* Second Step : (30 minutes)

Next 30 mins spend for connecting with people. The 30 minutes which u spend should be divided into two parts -
# Commenting on other blogs in your niche (you ll gain backlinks and your Pagerank will increase).
# Spending time with your blogger friends via twitter, email or IM. Don't be rude to them because they are your readers and build genuine relationships. Result is you ll learn more knowledge by interacting with them about same niche.

* Third Step : (30 minutes)

Next 30 mins is Promotion of your posts. Once you have published the killer articles promote it. Promotion in the sense, letting bloggers and webmasters know about the post, getting some friends to submit the article to Facebook, Propeller, Digg, Reddit , Twitter , Social bookmarking sites and post the article in online forums or newsgroups.

* Fourth Step : (30 minutes)

Not only killer articles will fetch you traffic, Normal post which you publish in your blog daily is more important. Post atleast one article everyday. Make it as a habit. (Tip : Surely everyone will check Emails daily.. so why dont you post an article after checking all your mails ?? )simple idea - publish a killer article every friday and Normal post from saturday to thrusday and keep your readers engaged :-))

Note : I follow all these steps daily. When ever i publish some article in my blog. I digg it and tweet. Some people asked me from where you pick all the topics. I just go to Online forums- help desk and Yahoo questions and answers, I help them and If i like their questions, i make a topic in my blog. so simple right ?

Make sure that you execute all the four steps as planned and If you have more time available you can expand the time spent on each of the four steps proportionally.
