Search Engine Optimization

Heard about this term a while back ~about 2 years ago precisely~, when an IT firm that was handling a web design contract of the organisation I was working for came to brief us about their progress. Imagine just being there and nodding having no clue whatsoever and not wanting to appear naive. So I thought I should share the little I know about this term.

Search Engine Optimization refers to tweaks and modifications made to a webpage(usually homepage of a website) in order for the page to be easily found by a search engine or someone searching for the site but don't know its address.

Optimizing involves editing the content of a webpage ~html and other associated coding~ to includes keywords and other elements detected by web crawlers*, for example adding keyword 'meta tag' to an html document.

Search Engine Optimization is usually done to ensure a site is ranked high on various search engines or atleast appears on the first page when you search for a term particular to the site. For example, searching for 'tech by jay' or 'jay tech' should return a page that has this blog listed.


*Web crawlers are just bunch of codes or programs that crawl the web looking for stuffs used by search engines to find sites ~that are online~ to include in their index.

Introducing Nokia Asha 205

Thinking of buying a phone on a budget that also ensures your social online presence? The Nokia Asha 205 might just be what you really need. This QWERTY keyboard phone's design may not really be all that, but what's one to expect from a phone intentionally made affordable? A great bargain in my opinion as it wouldn't cost more than N1,000 to purchase this dual sim phone armed with features such as a dedicated Facebook button, threaded view sms ~Blackberry feel~, FM recording, in addition to being deeply socially integrated. It comes with a selection of popular social networking apps: Facebook, Twitter, eBuddy messenger, even Whatsapp(single SIM version). Definitely a phone to watch out for from Nokia.

5G and 4G Explained in a Few Words

  The present Generations of Wireless Communication Technology 5G is short for fifth generation wireless technology. It is the newest standard for cellular networks that promises to deliver much faster speeds and more reliable connections than previous generations of cellular technology. 4G, on the other hand, is short for fourth generation wireless technology. It is the most widely used standard for cellular networks. It offers speeds that are significantly faster than 3G, but not as fast as 5G. The main difference between 5G and 4G is that 5G offers significantly faster speeds and more reliable connections than 4G. 5G also has lower latency, which means that it can provide a more responsive experience for users. While 5G will use many of the same frequency bands as 4G LTE, it will also make use of higher frequency bands, which will require new hardware and infrastructure. The adoption of the 5G technology would ultimately lead to a reduced saturation of the 4G network. Wil...
