  • Google Freedom of Speech – In The Mercy Of The Chinese Law

    Google Freedom of Speech – In The Mercy Of The Chinese Law

    Google.cn Landing Page - Google Freedom of Speech - In The Mercy Of The Chinese Law
    When Google redirects Chinese users to it Hong Kong search engine, Google thinks they have win the Freedom of Speech war. Everything seem fine and quiet for awhile and they are proud to circumvent the Chinese law and bypass the Great Firewall of China.

    As the saying, calmness before the storm. Is the storm coming? From The Official Google Blog, Google ICP (Internet Content Provder) license is due today, 30 June. Today, Google once again put itself in an awkward position, Google still in the mercy of the Chinese law. Without the ICP license, Google is out of the China market. The recently fight over Chinese censorship, Google loses it face and redirect China users to Hong Kong.

    In the article from Computer Weekly, China Threatens Google Following Hong Kong Redirect, Computer Weekly uses the word ‘threaten’. I think it is a propaganda and have no regard for other country laws. As the Chinese saying, every home has it own rules, every nation has it own laws (家有家规,国有国法). When a law of a nation is not in favour to a corporate strategy, it does not threaten it. If the law do not suit your corporate mission, you can look for other greener pastures. No one force you to stay in China. Do not be a moron, saying China threaten you.

    Google and foreign corporates, especially American corporations, I think is time to learn to respect and stop hiding your corporate ego behind the freedom of speech. Start learning to respect the law of a sovereign nation.

    So who has the last laugh? I think is me, seeing Google the 4-colour corporate clown on the world stage making a fool of itself!

  • 安装WordPress 3.0版本多站点支持功能

    WordPress是最受欢迎的博客平台,它提供了各种工具给我们来发布文章、保持与读者之间的互动。我一直都很期待可以快点安装WP 3.0版本。它的测试版已经发布有一阵子了,在6月19日终于正式升级了。我在管理后台的顶栏看到升级提示时,心情激动忍不住要点击更新了。不过现在还只是英文版,相信中文版不久就可以升级了。

    WP本次更新最伟大的一个功能看点是把以前独立的MU程序与WordPress的功能进行合并与互补。从3.0版本之后,WP将开始支持多用户与多站点的强大功能,可使用它创建多个博客。

    要开启WP的多站点功能,你就要找到并打开WP根目录下的wp-config.php文件, 在文件里面添加以下代码:

    define(‘WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE’, true);

    添加上面的代码之后就会看到左侧边栏的工具里多了一个“网络”菜单的选项。点击此选项你会看到多站点“网络”的设置界面。接着根据提示操作安装完成整个程序。

    注意代码 define(‘WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE’, true); 与代码 define(‘MULTISITE’, true); 在不同的地方的作用,请不要把这两者搞混。

  • SEO To Be Seen

    SEO To Be Seen

    As Featured On EzineArticles.comWith over 60 Internet regulations, the Chinese government has successfully built a virtual Great Wall that even Google got tired of climbing over. On March 22, 2010, Google officially redirected all traffic from its Chinese mainland site to its uncensored Hong Kong site. Eight days later, all hits for Google and its other international sites ended in a DNS error for mainland Chinese netizens. Some fear the ban may be permanent.

    But where Google left off, baidu.com, a Chinese Internet search engine and Google’s closest rival in China, has emerged to fill the gap. Well, if the shoe fits. And what a snug fit it is.

    Baidu, owing to its domestic roots, has emerged as the leading search engine service provider in mainland China. Knowing one’s users in and out, their environment and culture has proved to be the home court advantage of the 10 year-old search engine. Baidu actively censors its content in conjunction with the government’s policies. Its host of local offerings makes the World Wide Web more accessible to its users. With over 140 million sites indexed and growing, Baidu has carved its niche in Chinese Internet so deeply that it is here to stay.

    Despite the censorship, and perhaps because of it, Internet marketers would be well advised to tap into growing market that is the community of Chinese Internet users. Approximated at a staggering 338 million in June 2009, this number jumped by 13.4% from 298 million in a period of six months. This trend is most likely to continue with the reality that the Internet has become an essential aspect of life in the 21st century – yes, even one in virtual China with its virtual wall. 81.6% of Chinese Internet users cannot imagine a life separate from the Internet. A sentiment that is echoed by netizens all over the world.

    Implementing Chinese SEO on Baidu would target the steadily rising group of Internet users in the largest country in the world. It would be like putting your site’s name in Chinese on GPS for the World Wide Web. Over 338 million users will know where your site is and the potential for marketing and generating income would increase dramatically.

    Chinese SEO on Baidu will prove to be a long-term and worthy investment. The ratio between the cost of advertising and the extent of the market range is certainly a profitable one and Baidu’s longevity is undeniable. Claiming a stake in what will become cyberspace prime property in the years to come will ensure your spot in the middle of it all when the real estate booms.

  • 国内最流行的CMS程序之风于云PK

    CMS是Content Management System的缩写,意为“内容管理系统”。CMS其实是一个很广泛的称呼,从一般的博客程序,新闻发布程序,到综合性的网站管理程序都可以被称为内容管理系统。想要建设自己的网站就要选择CMS程序来搭建了,下面我们来看一下国内最流行的五个CMS程序之风云PK。

    Supesite是使用PHP语言,通过Supesite搭建网站,建设者可以轻松,迅速和高效的对现有的论坛资源进行再聚合,构造拥有高度Web2.0特性的社区门户。它适合制作门户比较大的网站,主要是看你的网站数据的多少,因为比较大型的网站数据量也比较高。

    Dedecms提供的页面生成管理功能很不错,分别有主页,栏目页,文章页的生成系统,还包括网站地图、RSS、专题以及自定义文档列表等生成功能。增强了用户的体验,感觉很实用,很方便。不过一般的网站,数据量在一两万以下还可以,前台访问速度有点慢。

    PHP168是PHP领域当前功能最强大的建站系统,代码全部开源,可以方便的进行二次开发,所有功能模块可以自由安装与删除,个人用户也是免费使用的。它的后台数据管理在五十万之内,文章的添加,编辑,删除,移动等各种操作速度也非常快。但是,我在天涯问答里面看到有人投诉说它的售后服务很差,很多网页静态化的方面也有问题。

    帝国CMS被誉为“万能建站工具”,因为它采用系统模板型功能,通过这个功能可直接在后台扩展各种系统,如产品,房产,供求等等。但是帝国CMS数据的承载能力不怎么强,在比较大的数量面前,表现也只能算及格,所以单个栏目的数据量最好不要超过15万。

    WordPress程序是在GNU通用公共许可证下授权发布。 GNU是一个公开的版权,原代码也是公开的,所以用起来这个软件很让人放心,哪里出了问题都可以自己找原代码改。它的功能强大,很有特色。Wordpress制作网站很简单,是免费和开源的,又快速灵活,就算是从来没有制作网站经验的人,只要稍加学习,也很简单。Wordpress博客软件是全世界最受欢迎的博客制作软件,很多明星,大公司的网站在建立自己的博客时都会选择使用Wordpress,它有许多精致免费的主题,只要你懂一些代码的知识,就可以用它的后台编辑器把自己的博克装扮得非常有个性,不管是你想要做单人博克还是群组博克,它都能满足你的要求。

    看了以上这些CSM程序的风云PK之后,你会选择哪个程序来搭建自己的网站呢?我是极力推荐Wordpress的,它可以说是目前最先进的CMS程序了,它的软件主题都是按照互联网的标准来设计制作的,对搜索引擎非常友好。

  • SEO Your Way to the TOP

    SEO Your Way to the TOP

    As Featured On EzineArticles.comIf you cannot beat them, join them. Instead of trying to find your way around China’s Great Firewall, why not work with it to your advantage?

    Baidu.com is a Chinese search engine that voluntarily and actively censors its output to adhere to the regulations set forth by the Chinese government. Established and developed by and for Chinese, Baidu has become the logical choice for search engine services because of its domestic advantages and wide array of offerings.

    Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the easiest method to ensure your site is at the top of the pack when related search results are produced. Chinese SEO on Baidu could prove beneficial to Internet Marketers owing to the large number of Chinese Internet users, which has risen to 338 million in 2009.

    An in depth survey of Chinese Internet demographics also shows that the Internet has become a vital source of information and interaction as well as a means of communication and convenience for the users. 84.3% say the Internet for them is a major information channel. 81.6% say the Internet saves them a lot of time. The value of the Internet in today’s digital age is undeniable. The power of information and of convenience has turned the Internet into ally rather than a foe.

    By doing Chinese SEO on Baidu, you would be advertising your products for a relatively low cost because of the large target audience you can reach. China has a sprawling population of 1.3 billion, the largest in the world. More than 25% of that population is already wired and the number of Internet users is steadily growing despite the censorship implemented by the Chinese government. A sprawling nationwide market with a size at the fraction of more conventional advertising costs is a marketer’s dream. Moreover, word of mouth about your site from returning users is always welcome. And 76% of Chinese Internet users say they will forward something good when they see it.

    SEO is also a natural way to lead users to your site unlike other paid Internet marketing alternatives. Though the clever use of keywords to rise above the ranks to the top can be employed by other dummy sites, leading search engines such as Baidu remove from their indices or records these sites that aggressively use SEO to the point of nonsense and miscorrelation. This will ensure the results are always valid and that your site does not get lost under the rubbish.

    Chinese SEO on Baidu will put your site on the map accessed by millions of Chinese users everyday. To target and tap into a market that is already established and growing could open the doors to your site. And, as everyone knows, the Internet is open 24/7.
