According to the news which came yesterday the top search engine of China i.e. Baidu was accused of showing irrelevant results thus providing high search rankings to unlicensed

medical providers and hospitals. Baidu is the topmost search engine of China having more than 60% share in the Chinese internet penetration. As a result of this news the stocks of Baidu tumbled in NASDAQ.

The CEO of Baidu Robin Li, in an interview to the Chinese State News Agency Xinhua said that employees working in Baidu who helped unlicensed medical providers to get high rankings were fired and several others will surely loose their jobs in coming days. He also mentioned that they have removed the keywords for all the four clients ( High Ranking Unlicensed medical providers ) and also started checking documents of other clients in the client list.

Reports say that one customer wasted more than 10000 yuan ( 950 Ponds or approximately 1450 dollars) at a clinic he chose because it ranked high for a particular keyword in Baidu. The clinic paid Baidu nearly 17 yuan per click to top the listings. I would say that never believe such listings so you would never have to waste such amount of money on youself and not get cured.

For the last three years I have been fully protected from viruses and trojans and outside threats because of what ? simple answer is an anti virus. In the beginning when I purchased my own PC I used to take friends CD’s and DVD’s and floppies(they were common that time) and used them in my PC but never used anti virus on my PC the result was my PC was full of these crappy little insects called as computer Viruses. I was told by someone in my friend circle about Panda Software , I downloaded Panda Platinum and used it for over a month after which it expired. I was unprotected again, and did not want to format my PC so I thought to get some other stuff.


For the simple reason, I searched for another Anti virus program then I got AVG. In beginning when I did not know anything about Credit Cards and Paypal so I was using the free edition of AVG and with the gradual increase in knowledge and resources I was able to purchase the professional edition of AVG and so I am fully updated from viruses.

Each day when my computer is online , it connects to AVG’s website and download it’s updates automatically and applies them, searches the computer for any threats or problems and reports them to me. If they are in serious category I usually delete them or disinfect them with AVG.

Some of the things which AVG does is

Real-time protection, automatic updates, low-impact background scanning for online threats, and instant quarantining or removal of infected files ensures maximum protection. Every interaction between your computer and the Internet is monitored, so nothing can get onto your system without your knowledge. AVG scans in real time:

All-in-one protection

I guess these all things can convince you to buy a AVG Product but if you do want to buy a free version or trial version click here.

Online business owners come across many issues in their professional life, but none of them bigger than the unreliable behavior of their sites on days when sales are at their maximum. You too would hate to see your customers go away due to an error message.

These problems of unreliability can be attributed to various factors; however as a rule 90% of the times it is due to an underperforming webhost. A webhost is like the heart and soul of your website which determines how well or poorly would your site behave in front of the all important customers.

It is therefore necessary that you find web hosting company which is proven for performance. You can do this by going through expert review and rankings available on the web. One of the sites where you can find such unbiased reviews is hostingref.com.  You can go through reviews of all the web hosts like frontpage web hosting and compare it with all the other available web hosts out there. You can find it here.

Some of you might be amused by the title but it is true. National Geographic have decided to enter the video game market and have set up a new division named National Geographic Games that would be primarily dedicated to development of the games for most of the major gaming consoles, PC’s, mobiles and PSP’s.

Under the leadership of Paul Levine, NG hopes to release games which allow the users of all ages to explore the world through the fantasy world. Paul was quoted saying” our global audiences love to play games, and we plan on creating games in-house as well as working with leading global publishers to develop entertaining games that engage those audiences in a relevant way”.

The NGG has already released their first game with the name “Herod’s Lost Tomb”. It is a flash based game and can be downloaded for free from the NG website.

The games for consoles would be released later this year.
