There are lots of things that make the iPhone cool. I’ve been playing with an app that makes it even cooler. It’s 360 Panorama 3.0, a brand new version out today, that lets you easily capture panoramic images on the iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS and most recent iPod Touch, and share the results online via Twitter. You simply pan the camera as the app “paints” a panoramic scene from live video—pausing periodically as you do so.

There’s no need to snap a bunch of pictures and then have the software stitch them together—it’s all done in one fluid motion. Once the scene is captured—it took me a minute or so to do it right—you can save the image on your phone (in the Camera Roll), email it, or upload it via Twitter. Once online, panoramas can be viewed with a 360-degree viewer that is similar to Google Street View.

While the images I captured are small and a little rough around the edges, I can see where this app will quickly become addictive. Occipital, the Boulder, Co., company that developed 360 Panorama 3.0 (as well as the RedLaser barcode scanning app that was eventually bought by eBay) is running a temporary special. You can buy the app for 99 cents in the iTunes App Store after which the price reverts to $2.99.

Internet storage eliminates (or in the very least minimizes) most of those risks since backups are done automatically and housed on a remote, secure server. Thinking of making the switch? Here are seven tips for backing up your data online:

1. Automate your Backups – The bread and butter of online backup is automation. Most providers give you complete control and flexibility to determine a backup schedule suited to meet your needs. This means irreplaceable and business-critical data can be backed up weekly, daily, or even hourly without any manual prompts.

2. Choose a Unique Encryption Key – Another important feature Internet storage offers is encryption, which ensures sensitive data is kept confidential. Choose a unique encryption key which makes certain only you (or another authorized user) can access your data and not an employee of your backup service.

3. Redundancy is Desired – Internet storage providers who keep their data in just one location should be a red flag to you. Also, make sure you can access multiple versions (archives) of the same document. When it comes to internet storage, the more redundant, the better. 3.

Also, make sure you can access multiple versions (archives) of the same document. When it comes to internet storage, the more redundant, the better.

4. Data Centers Should be Spread Out – In a similar vein, well-established, reputable backup providers have multiple data centers that are at least 200 miles apart. This way, in the event of a natural disaster, only one data center is affected.

5. Utilize Customer Support – Be wary of any provider that only offers customer support via email. Whether or not you have an in-house IT department, you want to have a backup provider who can immediately assist you over the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

6. Be Wary of Free Services – While there are a handful of free backup services, you likely won’t have the security and encryption that come with a paid service.

7. Think of Online Backup as Insurance – When shopping prospective backup services, don’t get too hung up on cost and don’t let price be your sole deciding factor. Think of online backup as an insurance policy that in the event of catastrophic data loss, is well worth the cost.

An All-in-One Solution – Don’t try to make different components from various providers work for you; opt for an all-in-one solution that can meet your needs. You may need a provider that offers a payment gateway, credit card processing, and fraud management tools. Find the solution that can meet all those needs and meet them well.

Comprehensive Security Features – Considering the drastic increase of credit card fraud online, give yourself and your customers piece of mind by going with a payment services provider that offers a myriad of security features. From military-grade encryption to fraud detection, a payment provider should allow your customers to shop safely and securely on your website.

Extensive Customer Service and Technical Support – Inquire about customer service options before signing up with a provider. Do they offer customer support via telephone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week? If something happens to your site on a Friday night that prevents payments from going through over the weekend, you don’t want to have to wait until Monday morning to get the problem fixed. A service is only as good as its technical support.

Competitive Rates – Look for service providers that offer competitive rates and make sure you inquire about upfront fees. There are often additional costs associated with the features and services you want that fall outside the rate quote. Discuss all costs upfront before you sign the dotted line!

Shopping Cart Compatibility – Before making any final decisions, talk with your IT department or web master to help pinpoint providers that are compatible with your site’s shopping cart. Most well-established, reputable payment services are compatible with the majority of shopping carts.

However, there are more other factors at hand as well.To remove these dark circles, you need to buy a good eye cream for treatment; however there is a vast variety available out there in the market and picking the right eye cream is a tough decision.

Apparently, you need to do some research on these available eye creams. You can browse different online reviews about these eye creams on internet given by those customers who have bought and used the creams.

More people link to a page when it has valuable content. However, such links that arrive without your effort is never enough for promoting your website. So, there is no other way than using other methods of getting relevant backlinks.

Use Web Directories to Get Backlinks

It is very important that you get listed in popular directories such as Yahoo and DMOZ, if at all you are bothered about web presence. The good thing here is that you not only get free and relevant backlinks; you also become more visible to prospective customers and search engines. Although this is free, the only disadvantage is that you should wait for a long time to get listed.

Make use of Article Directories and Forums

Article submissions and forum posts are other trusted ways of building backlinks for your site. Adding a plain link on your signature is usually an efficient method of getting extra traffic to your site. However, it is important to ensure that the backlinks you get are relevant. Irrelevant links to your website are not going to make any difference.

Affiliate Programs

Just like the other methods, affiliate programs are also effective ways of earning valuable backlinks. However, even though you increase your chance of bringing prospective buyers to your site, this one is a pricier method compared to the rest. The reason is that you have to spend a lot on paying affiliate commissions.

Press Releases

Although this is not something that you can employ everyday; it does give fine results if used properly. Many press release sites are available, where you publish free press releases on your latest products. This is a good way of bringing relevant traffic to your site.

To finish, always remember that backlinks building brings rewards only to those who are persistent. Just doing it for one day will not help your SEO efforts in any way. So never give up. Although it may take some time to get results, it is surely worth your time.

After careful examination, I have consolidated ten most popular link building techniques into a list and here they are, for your reading pleasure!

1. Link Exchange

The most widely used and predominant link building technique is the exchange of links with other like-minded websites. This can be done through one-way link exchange, reciprocal link exchange or a clever three-way link exchange. One way link exchanges are hard to do as it only requires the target website to link back to you. People will only link to your website if they are paid or in lieu of any other incentive.

Reciprocal link exchanges are easy because you are also putting the target website’s link on your website, therefore, the give and take rule applies here.

Finally, there is the little known three-way link exchange technique. Let me give you an example of how its done. Say, you own websites “A” & “B” and want good inbound links for website “A”. You go out and do a three-way link exchange with a webmaster who owns the website “C”. When doing the exchange, you put C’s link on your website “B” (instead of putting it on website “A”), and C puts “A” link on their website. So, you are basically gaining one way link for your website “A” without losing any Page value.

In order to initiate a link exchange, you will have to contact a website’s administrator by sending an email stating what you want to do. Make sure your e-mail is courteous and you explain what benefit the other website will get out of the link exchange. You can also try visiting different webmaster forums where you can find many people wanting to do link exchanges.
I also recommend you using this great free link exchange tool to check links’ value before you exchange links.

2. Social Bookmarking Websites

With the introduction of social bookmarking websites like Del.icio.us, Stumbleupon, Reddit, Digg etc., getting targetted traffic to your website is easier than before. People will bookmark your website if it is useful to them and has good content. Every person who bookmarks your website helps you in getting an incoming link.

You can link to the bookmarking sites so that its easy for your visitors to bookmark your website. WordPress users can even download plugins which automatically put bookmarking links under your individual posts. Once someone bookmarks your website, there are chances that he will return back to your website sometime later. He might even share that bookmark with his friends/family which can get you more visitors.

3. Link Baiting

This is the most organic way of getting unlimited backlinks. Link baiting basically means offering some kind of unique content (bait) to your visitors and in turn they link back to your website. For example, ebooks, templates, custom scripts, custom graphics etc. I guess you get the idea. You can insert your website’s link in that content and as long as that content holds value and is available on your website, it is certain that people will use it and link back to you automatically. It will have a lasting effect for your website’s pagerank.

4. Web Directory Submissions

There are hundreds and thousands of online web based directories which list websites classifying them into categories. You can perhaps find lists of directories if you search on Google.com. You can submit your website’s URL to them and depending on your website quality, it will be accepted. Paid directories also exist where you have to pay an annual fee to enlist your website.

Make sure that you do slow and continous submissions to these directories to avoid penalization from search engines. Submitting your site to these directories can gain you quick backlinks and give some boost to your pagerank also.

5. Article Submissions

Depending on the niche of your website, you can write quality aritcles and submit them to various free article directories on the Internet. Article directories allow you to put link back to your website in the author resource box so that will give you backlinks and traffic too. If people like your article, they might even directly link to it.

6. Press Releases

Another effective way to spread the buzz about your website is by doing press releases. You can write press releases about your website or a particular section and submit them to press release distribution services such as clickpress, webwire, businesswire, openpress etc.

7. Blog Commenting

When you are visiting other people’s blogs, you can leave comments on their posts. Some bloggers allow you to put your website’s link along with the comments which can help you build links. Sometimes, the link that you put will have a nofollow tag attached to it which will not give any pagerank value to your website, but it can still send some extra visitors.

8. Forum Posts

Try and become a member of all the popular forums that are related to your website’s topic. Most of the forums will allow a certain number of links which can be added to your signature below every post you make. You can add your website(s) link(s) there and build backlinks.
Or, if you don’t have the time to build links manually, I recommend you to order this forum link building service. It’s very effective.

9. Link Programs

There are various link programs which you can join for link development purpose. These programs have a lot of listed subscribers and your links are rotated on their websites which help you get visitors. Most of the time, these programs will tell you to put a piece of code on your website to allow other people’s links.

10. Creating Contests

Last but not the least, a viral way to make good backlinks is to hold a number of contests on your website. You can even offer a small amount of money for the winner of the contest. If money is short, then you could offer something else that is readily available with you as the prize. You can then ask people to link back to your contest and this will get you some quality one-way links.

There are many free tools which we use in our daily web life. Will update this post to extend it to more user friendly free software downloads.
