According to wikipedia, Hyperreality is a way of characterising the way the consciousness interacts with "reality". In essence, when the consciousness departs from its ability to distinguish reality from fantasy. At this point the mind begins to shift into what is known as the hyperreal. The nature of the hyperreal world is characterised by "enhancement" of reality.

Tripping Around the Virtual World

Trip Around the Blogospere


We are going on a virtual vacation, seeking enlightenment and perhaps hope for world peace, perhaps a solution to stop global warming, and climate changes across the globe. Without a site map, I find myself wandering the super information highway. I discover the electronic equivalent of a physical world post card is now the blog environment. Very soon, I discover local economies have opened to global markets fueled by creativity and human necessity. Still not unlike the physical world, humans and Nations battle for ideas and power. Most predominant is the struggle for control and the exercise of power waged by human versus machine. In this process of production, human-computer interaction yields unique finds along the way. In an effort to escape the woes of humanity, I begin stopping frequently to collect various digital souvenirs. Each of my electronic finds, artifacts, and memorabilia is documented here to give credit and props to the innovation and creativity of the human minds, which have created them.

Article Analytics

Article Tracking App.
Everyone who owns a website has his or her own secret cache of internet tools and applications for various project and web development work. As an optimizer (now turned active blogger) I have a genuine interest in tools related to making my own SEO work easier and especially if it is an inexpensive addition. At SEO Scoop, I located a simple tool for tracking backlinks. Obviously, I use a rather extensive application for my own projects and purposes, but for the average site owner this tool provides the features you need. It's called Backlink Tracker Tool and costs only $ 8.50 (USD) via PayPal.
In addition to tracking backlinks, you can also track your published articles on Google, Yahoo and MSN. You will be able to determine the number of pages indexed and the respective backlinks. Plus this application can be configured to email you the daily stats. Don't worry, there are few limitations and you can essentially track as many articles, pages or domains as you desire. Pretty good for under ten bucks!

Web Directory: What You Should Know-
Part 2

In part one; we quickly explored the main elements associated with internet directory sites. In the most obvious sense, a directory is used in exactly the same way as a search engine is designed to deliver traffic. Nothing really complicated. However, we believe inclusion in a directory known to represent quality listings, and therefore quality links, will typically deliver quality traffic to those lucky enough to have their website listing included. One thing we did not touch on is the use of an anchor in respect to a text link. First, for those of you who do not know the value of a properly selected "anchor", in relation to search rankings, an anchor is a short identifier something like a blog tag. It is used as an identifier by search engines. In essence, an anchor is a 2-3 word phrase that is relevant to the topic and subject matter of the website it is intending to represent. Anchors are typically selected from a list of Meta tags known as keywords. Typically, an anchor will also represent content subject matter of the website. Together an anchor and a keyword should give a good idea concerning a site's web content. Selecting an anchor and using it consistently will improve search engine rankings. Finally, the benefit of having one million spammy type back links vs. ten quality back links is still open for debate."There is safety in numbers" but how much is still unknown. Clearly, every link is a vote in the popularity contest and traffic may or may not be a part of the deal. Yet, if those ten back links are from highly ranked sites according to Google's Page Rank system then you can bet that this will dramatically improve your website's standings on many other smaller search engines as well. For this reason, Google is the leader and still champion in traffic delivery as well as the most respected of all websites on the internet. Until, Google is dethroned whatever they support in terms of quality is what every website and internet directory will aspire to provide.

Web Directory: What You Should Know--
Part 1
An Internet directory is a collection of websites, resources, sources, and various informational listings that are compiled for a particular purpose.

In short, a directory is human-edited and approval is human-powered. Niche directory sites base inclusion in accordance with subject, topic relevance, or purpose as a general rule of thumb. Usually the owner has a particular topic and subject and listings lend content support. Directory listings are in the form of link references and are important to boost search engine rankings.
In respect to quality, directory sites that have accumulated numerous one-way links are more valuable than those that lack them. Yet, it is rather difficult to determine which directory sites offer the best weight in respect to the top search engine, which is Google.
