Talk about the finite amount of bandwidth usage for the internet was the topic of the day a while back, but today the most pressing concern is the finite amount of internet ip addresses and the fact that the worldwide web is running out of them.

The History Behind Internet IP Addresses

Turns out that way back in 1976 when the Department of Defense (DoD) was busy connecting computers and creating what ultimately became the internet the rest of us use each day, they were sort of forced to put a number on just how many internet ip addresses the data network was going to need.

Sounding amazingly like a Bill Gates reverberation from the past about memory and RAM in an in-home computer, the DoD settled on 4.3 billion internet ip addresses as the magic number. Little did they know. After all, this whole network thing was “just an experiment” at the time.

Fast Forward 35 Years and the World is Running Out of Internet IP Addresses and How They Plan to Fix That Sticky Problem

Estimated to reach critical mass within the next year to year and a half, the scramble is on to ensure that Earth’s seven billion population doesn’t watch their internet ip addresses and connections go down in flames. Actually that’s a tad dramatic, the powers that be have been aware for quite some time now that there is this huge looming situation that must be dealt with as quickly and seamlessly as possible.

First, the SEOPressor is not shiny and new, I realize that. This WordPress SEO plugin also is not free. These are two factors you need to take into consideration as you contemplate my personal review of SEOPressor.

But that remaining 20%? Well, that’s where the little ‘ol SEOPressor plugin comes into play.

In fact, knowing and applying these little writing nuggets actually prevented me from shelling out the very reasonable fee for either a one-domain use of SEOPressor or even the unlimited domain SEOPressor fee to get this plugin. I thought about the whole idea of spending money for about a month. My reasoning was simple because I figured, “Hey I already know this stuff.”

And then I got to really use the SEOPressor plugin (for completely free and no it wasn’t given to me but that’s another story) and as this story goes… I was blown away

The latest news, if you haven’t heard yet, is the newest round of Google algorithm changes. What this means is a death toll for those splogs out there (god willing) and bonus points to those who spend the time to nitpick every word that goes on one’s web site or blog – relying on one’s skill and the mastery of original content.

The Original Writer Should Get the Credit for His or Her Original Work, Right?

There’s nothing much worse than finding someone has stolen your material, verbatim. There’s also nothing fun about finding those auto-posted blogs where the content is so repetitive that no one in their right mind would read it. I mean, come on, how many times could someone say the same thing about say a computer monitor or whatever keyword they hope to gain the upper hand with in the search engines. (more…)

I don’t know about you, but it scares the daylights out of me when a friend calls using their cell phone while they are driving. Yes, I pay attention to what they are saying, but in the back of my brain the tiny words “get off the phone and put both hands on the wheel” cycles like a hamster in a running wheel through my brain.
