Nofollow To Dofollow

Nofollow To Dofollow - Bagi Para blogger Pemula/newbie mungkin aneh mendengar istilah tersebut, saya pun bingung pertama kali lihat kata Nofollow dan Dofollow. Setelah mencari informasi di beberapa blog akhirnya saya mendapatkan jawaban itu.
- Blog Nofollow : Merupakan sebuah blog dimana link yang anda masukkan pada saat anda memberikan komentar disebuah blog tidak akan ditelusuri lebih lanjut oleh mesin pencari dalam artian anda tidak akan mendapatkan backlink dari blog tersebut, sementara kita tahu bahwa backlink merupakan salah satu unsur penting dalam peningkatan page ranking.
- Blog Dofollow : Merupakan Kebalikan dari blog nofollow yakni anda akan mendapatkan backlink dari komentar yang anda berikan pada sebuah blog, yah anggaplah sebagai hadiah dari sipemilik blog kepada anda karena sudah bersedia memberikan komentar yang berkualitas di blognya.

Itulah beberapa informasi tentang nofollow dan dofollow, mungkin para master-master blogger lainya punya definisi tersendiri yang mungkin lebih jelas. Karena saya sendiri juga masih pemula jadi maaf jika ada kesalahan dalam menafsirkanya. Sekarang lanjut ke tahap perubahanya.

Merubah Nofollow Menjadi Dofollow :

1. Seperti pada umumnya masuk Akun Blogger terlebih dahulu
2. Pilih Rancangan/Design
3. Pilih EditHTML lalu centang "Expand Template Widget"
4. Kemudian cari kode
<a expr:href='data:comment.authorUrl' rel='nofollow'><data:comment.author/></a>
5. Kemudian ganti kode diatas dengan kode di bawah ini :
<a expr:href='data:comment.authorUrl'><data:comment.author/></a>
6. S A V E

Untuk mengetahui blog anda telah berhasil di setting dengan blog Dofollow, silahkan anda masuk di halaman blog anda tentunya setelah anda melakukan cara diatas, kemudian klik kanan lalu pilih " View Page Source " Setelah keluar new window cari kode rel='nofollow , jika masih ada kode tersebut maka blog anda masih belum berhasil, tetapi jika anda tidak menemukan kode rel='nofollow maka blog anda telah berhasil di setting menjadi Blog Dofollow.
Semoga Artikel ini bermanfaat dan mudah untuk di pahami. Terima Kasih

Casey Stoner

Casey Stoner
Nationality · Australian
Born · 16 October 1985
Grand prix début · 2001

One of the youthful new breed of Grand Prix front runners, now with wins in all three categories, 21-year-old Casey Stoner’s whole life has been about competing with motorcycles, such that his entire family moved to the United Kingdom when he was just fourteen. It paid off with a full-time GP ride at sixteen, and with his first win a year later. In 2005, Casey raced against Dani Pedrosa for the 250cc title, which went to the Spaniard, and the question about which of them would be crowned first in the biggest class has now been resolved firmly in Casey’s favour. 




1989
First 50cc minibike

1990
Made under-9 dirt track racing début

1991 to 1999
First Australian title in junior dirt tracking, 1991; across the decade he would take 70 state titles and 41 national titles in dirt track and long track racing categories

2000
Moved to the UK for road racing début, winning the Aprilia RS125 Challenge; also raced in British 125cc championship, taking equal 12th with second three times at the end of the season, riding a Honda; raced the Honda twice in the Spanish 125cc championship, scoring fifth at Albacete, and being spotted by GP winner Alberto Puig

  • Total Points 566
Dani Pedrosa’s passion for motorcycles began, like many of the top current riders, as a small child riding pocket-bikes. By the age of twelve he had won the national championship in his native Spain, but a lack of funds almost curtailed his promising career before it had begun. However, a revolutionary search for fresh racing talent in Spain headed by former Grand Prix star Alberto Puig with funding from telecommunications company MoviStar gave the youngster the opportunity to prove himself on a bigger stage and he took it with both hands.
After responding to a national advertisement, Pedrosa competed in the MoviStar Activa Cup in 1999 and was one of the riders selected by Puig from hundreds of hopefuls to contest the 125cc Spanish Championship in 2000. Four pole positions from twelve rounds and fourth position overall was enough to convince Puig to select him as part of a three-man team alongside Toni Elias and Joan Olive to contest the 125cc World Championship in 2001. 

Jorge Lorenzo

Jorge Lorenzo Guerrero (born May 4, 1987 in Palma, Balearic Islands, Spain), is a Spanish professional motorcycle road racer. He is the 2006 and 2007 250cc World Champion, and the 2010 MotoGP World Champion. He is currently a rider in the MotoGP Class, on the Yamaha Factory Team.

Lorenzo dominated the 2007 250cc World Championship. His nine pole positions led to nine victories in 2007, and all his 2006 poles bar Motegi led to victories in 2006.

Jorge’s victory at Misano in 2007 was his 16th in the 250cc class, making him the most successful Spanish rider of all time in the 250cc GP class with one more victory than Dani Pedrosa and Sito Pons.

After being linked with a Yamaha MotoGP ride for 2008, on 25 July 2007 he was confirmed as Valentino Rossi’s partner on a two year deal for the 2008 MotoGP season.

Lenovo to Expand Its Business in Western Europe by Acquisition of Medion

Lenovo Group, the world’s fastest growing major PC company, on Wednesday announced that it is acquiring Germany’s Medion AG, a leading supplier of various PC and consumer electronics products. The acquisition will double Lenovo’s market share in Germany and make it the third-largest PC company in Europe’s largest PC market.

“This agreement represents another bold move for Lenovo to realize its long-term strategy. It will complement both Lenovo's core PC business and new businesses which are key areas for development. With their strong consumer sales, marketing, services and retail capabilities, Medion’s business is perfectly aligned with our consumer growth strategy in Western Europe,” said Yang Yuanqing, chief executive officer of Lenovo.

Together, the combined company will have more than 14% share in the German PC market and approximately 7.5% share in the Western Europe PC market. This agreement also fuels Lenovo’s expansion in consumer PCs and the high-growth mobile Internet market. The combined companies are also looking to realize the benefits of collaboration, global scale, cost savings and increased synergies in the areas of procurement, global supply chain, software development, distribution channels and product and business model innovation.

Nokia Has No Intentions to Sell Phone Business Unit to Microsoft

Chief executive officer of Nokia Corp. denied that there are talks between the phone giant and Microsoft Corp. over potential acquisition of Nokia's hardware business unit by the software developer. The head of the company stresses that the two companies are currently working hard to improve Windows Phone operating system and make it competitive against Android and iOS.

"We will remain in possession of the hardware business. The rumors are baseless. It doesn't make sense when you think about it. Look at the synergies between the companies -- if you sell, you destroy value in the process," said Stephen Elop, chief executive officer of Nokia, at the All Things Digital 2011 conference.

The head of Nokia once again reaffirmed plans to release the company's first smartphone based on Windows Phone platform in the fourth quarter of this year. He admitted that Nokia will need to differentiate its phones from similar devices made by HTC or Samsung, but stressed that the main competitors for Nokia at present are Apple iOS and Google Android eco-systems. The head of the largest mobile phone maker on the globe also admitted that in order to fight the Android and iOS eco-systems, the company will need other manufacturers of WP-based handsets to be successful too, as it attracts software developers to the operating system in general. In general, Nokia will have to find the balance between its differentiation and ensuring that all of the features it can implement into the Windows Phone platform also work on others' handsets.

Google Android Now on 100 Million Devices

The company also indicated that from now on it would attempt to ensure that one version of operating system is installed across all eco-system.

Google Android emerged first in late 2008 and in less than three years time it became the No. 1 mobile operating system. The popularity of Android was conditioned by the fact that manufacturers of mobile phones could customize it and several different versions of the OS were available. However, with multiple flavours of Android on hundreds of phones, user experience of the platform is rather unpredictable, moreover, software designers have to ensure that their applications work on all recent releases. With the 100 millionth Google Android operating system activated, Google wants to change that.

Over the past two and a half years, Google has shipped eight releases of Android and there are now more than 310 Android devices around the world, of all shapes and sizes. This week Google talked about its next version of Android code-named Ice Cream Sandwich. The company's goal with Ice Cream Sandwich is to deliver one operating system that works everywhere, regardless of device.

Microsoft May Acquire Nokia This Year

In a bid to further strengthen its smartphone and communication businesses, Microsoft Corp. reportedly wants to acquire Nokia Corp., the world's largest supplier of smartphones that recently decided to use Windows Phone operating system as the main OS for smartphones. The negotiations about the transaction will start next week, according to an analyst.

"Next week Nokia will begins talks with Microsoft in a bid to sell its phone division. While the results of these negotiations will not be public, the deal could be closed before the end of 2011 as both companies in a hurry. After all, today the main task for the current management of Nokia is not to produce good products, but to destroy the company as soon as possible and transfer interesting asses to Microsoft. Everything is transparent and takes place in public," said Eldar Murtazin, an analyst with Mobile-Review web-site.

The information is strictly unofficial at this point. Moreover, given the fact that Nokia's phones are not popular in the U.S., whereas Microsoft Windows Phone platform is not popular in Europe, practical feasibility of the deal is under a huge question mark.

Even though Microsoft has been developing operating systems for mobile phones for over a decade, its latest Windows Phone 7 operating system has failed to become popular among smartphone makers. Purchase of Nokia will help Microsoft to boost its presence on smartphones, but the company will not be able to gain control of 30% of the smartphone market that Nokia controls nowadays. It is also unlikely that Nokia will be able to boost its market share to historical levels.

Microsoft Windows 8 Again Claimed to Be Due in 2012

Chief executive officer of Microsoft Corp. said that the company's next-generation Windows operating system would be released in 2012, which is ahead of publicly known schedule, which is officially kept confidential.

"We are obviously hard at work on the next version of Windows. [...] Yet, as we look forward to the next generation of Windows systems, which will come out next year, there is a whole lot more coming. As we progress through the year, you ought to expect to hear a lot about Windows 8. Windows 8 slates, tablets, PCs, a variety of different form factors,: said Steve Ballmer, chief executive officer of Microsoft, during his keynote at Microsoft Developer Forum in Tokyo, Japan.

The comment made by the chief exec of Microsoft once again shows that the release schedule of Windows 8 is hardly set on stone. The world's largest software designer clearly needs an operating system for tablets as soon as possible to better compete against Apple iOS and Google Android platforms.

AMD's FX "Zambezi" to Be 60 to 90 Days Late

"Bulldozer" Microprocessors. Advanced Micro Devices on Wednesday officially confirmed the postponement of its highly-anticipated FX-series central processing units. The code-named Zambezi chips based on the Bulldozer micro-architecture will be 60 to 90 days late and will emerge in August or September, according to the company.

During the company's press conference dedicated to the launch of AMD 9-series core-logic sets, AMD announced that its long-awaited FX-series microprocessors will be available within the next 60 to 90 days from now, which points to August or September. Mainboards based on the new AMD 9-series chipsets with AM3+ socket will support both existing high-performance multi-core Phenom II microprocessors as well as AMD FX-series chips with up to eight cores.
Early this week it turned out that AMD had advised its partners that its next-generation high-performance desktop chips would only be launched in September. Apparently, the currently available B0 and B1 stepping Zambezi/Bulldozer processors can function at around 2.50GHz/3.50GHz (nominal/turbo) clock-speeds and at such frequencies they cannot deliver performance AMD considers competitive, a person with knowledge of the situation said on Monday.

As a consequence, AMD needs to tune the design of the processor and create B2 stepping of the chip with better clock-speed potential amid similar thermal design power (TDP), which will take several months to complete.

AMD Shows Off APU Due in 2012

Next-Generation Bulldozer with GPU Already in Silicon. Advanced Micro Devices this week showed its next-generation accelerated processing unit (APU) for client computers. The new code-named Trinity chip is due in 2012 and will utilize x86 cores based on improved Bulldozer micro-architecture as well as DirectX 11-class graphics engine.

At the press conference at Computex Taipei 2011, AMD's vice president demonstrated a sample of the code-named Trinity accelerated processing unit for desktop and laptop computers that will be released next year. The company officially calls it the best APU of the year 2012.

"Llano will be followed up by Trinity. Trinity utilizes Bulldozer x86 cores. [...] We have Trinity [in silicon already]. Trinity represents 2012's greatest APU. We have had it in our labs for several weeks. It looks fantastic, it has Bulldozer cores, DirectX 11 graphics," said Rick Bergman, senior vice president and general manager of products group at AMD.
