SEO Keyword Checklist
Below is a keyword checklist to ensure that you have fully optimized your blogs web pages to the current, generally accepted search engine algorithm rules.

URL
Get your primary keyword as close to the beginning of the URL as possible.

Title Tag
The title should be between 10 and 50 characters and include one or more keywords while still being descriptive.

Description Meta Tag
The description meta tag should be insightful and useful but it should also contain one or two of your more important keywords.

Keyword Meta Tag
It makes sense that you should include all of your keywords in the keyword meta tag. Do not include any words that don't appear in the body of your text.

Keyword Density
Your content should be made up of all of your keywords and other text. A total keyword density (all keywords) of around 15% to 20% is the maximum you should aim for and anything less than 5% is unlikely to yield good results. Density for a single keyword should be between 1% and 7%. 1% seems too low, and 7% a little too high. Wherever possible aim for approx 5% with the primary keyword and 3% with secondary and subsequent keywords.

Header Tags (e.g. H1 and H2 tags)
More weight is given to keywords that appear within H1 tags, then H2 tags and so on.

Text Formatting Fonts (e.g. strong, bold and underline)
This may not offer much weïght in algorithms, but generally if you bold the first instance of your keywords and the last instance of your primary keyword you should see some positive results.

Beginning Of Text
The closer you can get your keywords to the beginning of your page content the better. Try to include your primary keyword within the first sentence or two and also within the last paragraph.

Key-Phrases As Whole Phrases
If you are targeting Internet Marketing as a key phrase then do not split the words up if possible. Some effect is noticed if the words are split, but much more benefit is received by including the phrase as a whole.

Alt Text
Include your keyword at least once in the Alt tag of any images. Ensure that the text is relevant to the image and gives some information.

aeonity Virtual Private Network for Developers May 19th, 2006 5:00:36 pm - Subscribe
Recently Jim and I were looking for an effective yet affordable way to manage Aeonity's core files on the server. The core files are simply all the code that runs Aeonity. Currently the way Jim and I manage files is simply by not editing (coding) at the same time. For example, Jim will work on some code during the late afternoons and I start editing at nights. This worked well for a while, but we seemed to still be overwriting each others files. Can you imagine how annoying that can be? Two developers working on 1 or many files at different times, overwriting each others code. Well after making that mistake several times, Jim recommended that we use Windows XP VPN Server to set up a virtual private network. I guess it worked fine for a while, but what was really annoying is that it would reset some of my computers settings when I rebooted.

Well after several months of 'what can we do' we decided to look into a Virtual Private Network using a TRENDnet TW100-BRV204 Router. Below are some of the routers specs.
