If you are aware doing any kind link building strategy, then you’ve probably seen people mentioning “nofollow” and “dofollow” links. These essential points to understand when you want to build great links back to your site in order to increase or improve your search engine rankings. I am going to help break it down for you.

When creating a link on a webpage using HTML, the standard code for that link is:
<a href=”http://algomez.net”>share your thoughts</a>
It includes the HTML tag, the URL the link will be going to, the text that will be shown on the webpage for that link, and the closing HTML tag.

You are able to add more HTML to the code above, in order to tell the search engine(SERP) spiders to follow the link or not when crawling your website. You may be asking… “Why wouldn’t I want the search engine spiders to see all of the links on my site?” This is a very valid concern, which I will address further down. First, I am going to show you how to modify the HTML in order to tell the search engine spiders to crawl a link or not.
To tell the spiders to crawl a link, you don’t have to do anything. Simply using the format shown above, the search engine spiders will crawl the link provided.
To tell the spiders to NOT crawl a link, you need to add the following code to the HTML code above:

rel=”nofollow” It would then look like:<a href=”http://linkbuildingbible.com” rel=”nofollow”>The Link Building Bible</a>

Basically, there is no true “dofollow”, it is just NOT using the “nofollow” tag. Pretty simple, eh? (No, I am not Canadian… well, kind of.)

Why does this matter?
In order to build backlinks on other websites (to increase your search engine rankings), you need to know if the websites you are attempting to get your site listed on use the “nofollow” tag or not. If they do, it may still be a good idea to try to get that link there, but it is generally regarded as not the best use of time since the search engines don’t follow that link and you don’t get any increase in search engine rankings from that link.

Sometimes, some of you are asking where can i find dofollow links? But the truth is “Dofollow” links dont technically exist. It is only an expression meaning the opposite of “nofollow” So, it means to say that if a link dont have “nofollow” it is already considered as “dofollow” link which passes authority from the site it’s on to the site the link is pointing to.

So, when you are looking for websites and blogs that you could leave your link on (through reciprocal links, commenting on a blog, directory submissions, buying links, etc) figure out if the links in the particular section of the site you are aiming for uses “nofollow” or not. (A good way to do this is to view the source code, or find some good “dofollow” lists such as Courtney Tuttle’s D-list ).

In order for you  to find “dofollow” links, i suggest you to visit http://www.wibbly.net/dofollow-search.html

In this Adobe Photoshop tutorial you will see how to turn an image in to a drawing effect.

First you need to load in the image you want to apply this effect to.

Now go to image -> adjustments -> desaturate to make the image black and white.

Then go to image -> adjustments -> brightness and contrast and bring up the contrast as shown in the image below.

Go to filters -> filter gallery and located the filter called “Photocopy” and give it settings as below.

Now you might see a lot of misplaced dark and light areas, this we are going to change manually in an very easy way.

With the dodge and burn tools, (lighten and darken colors) use a big soft brush and start bringing down some light and play around with it a bit as I did.

Now go to filters -> filter gallery and located the filter called “grain” and give it some grain effect. This will give the “paper” a more “rough” look.

This might give you a result with some colored pixels.

You can remove them by going to image -> adjustments and choose desaturate again.

Each and every one of us has different understanding and information regarding contraceptives. May it be from the science’s explanation or heard from people themselves. Enumerated below are some of misunderstanding regarding contraceptives and its corresponding science explanation.

*F a l s e B e l i e f

1. Since they are taken daily, oral contraceptives build up in a woman’s body.
2. An IUD can leave the uterus and travel through a woman’s body.
3. A condom can get lost in a woman’s body.
4. Condoms take away from pleasure
5. Injectable contraceptives cause infertility.
6. Taking birth control pills makes you fat.
7. Wearing two condoms will provide extra protection.
8. A girl that takes the pill must be promiscuous.

*T r u e B e l i e f

1. Pills dissolve in the stomach just like other medicines and do not build up in the body.
2. The device almost always stays in the uterus until it is removed by a health worker. If it does come out, it will come through the vagina. To be sure the IUD is in place, women are advised to check for the IUD strings following each menstrual cycle.
3. Because of its size, a condom is too big to get through the cervix.
4. While some people believe condoms slightly reduce sensitivity, others believe the peace of mind they provide far outweighs the small difference. Ribbed, studded, and other textured condoms can even enhance one’s experience!
5. Occasionally when a woman uses a progestin injectable, it can take several months to return to regular cycles.
6. Some women may experience minor weight gain, depending on the woman and the pill she is taking. Even for those women, exercise and a nutritious diet can prevent or minimize weight gain.
7. Using more than one condom creates friction and can cause them to rip.
8. A young woman who takes the pill is acting responsibly and protecting herself against pregnancy. Additionally, the pill is often prescribed for other medical reasons, such as to make a woman’s menstrual cycle more regular or to alleviate the symptoms of premenstrual syndrome.

I did a simple research in the web to find some information on some of the most commonly used method of preventing unplanned pregnancy. The information below may help you find the best option you can use. But it is still better to consult your doctor before proceeding to any decision. The doctor’s prescription is the safest information you could get.

Sexual abstinence is the practice of voluntarily refraining from some or all aspects of sexual activity. Common reasons to deliberately abstain from the physical expression of sexual desire include religious or philosophical reasons (e.g., chastity), material reasons (to prevent conception [undesired pregnancy] or Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) transmission), psycho-sociological reasons (e.g., clinical depression, social anxiety disorder), negative past experiences, or to conform to legal injunctions.

Combined birth control pills contain two hormones, an estrogen and a progestin. They work by stopping ovulation (release of an egg) and by inhibiting the movement of sperm. Among typical couples who initiate use of combined pills about eight percent of women will experience an accidental pregnancy in the first year. But if pills are used consistently and correctly, just three in 1,000 women will become pregnant.

Progestin-only pills (Minipills) contain just one hormone, a progestin. They work by making cervical mucus thicker so sperm cannot get to the egg, and by making the lining of the uterus thinner. Sometimes they stop ovulation (release of an egg). Among typical couples who initiate the use of progestin-only pills about eight percent of women will experience accidental pregnancy in the first year. But if these pills are used consistently and correctly, just three in 1000 women will become pregnant. For protection from HIV and increased protection from pregnancy, use condoms as well.

Condoms (Male)
Effective condoms are made of latex or polyurethane. Unrolled, condoms look like long, thin balloons. They prevent body fluids from mixing when two people have sex. The condom is put onto the penis before the penis comes into contact with the vagina, mouth, or anus.
Latex condoms, when used consistently and correctly during vaginal, oral, or anal intercourse, are highly effective in preventing the sexual transmission of HIV. They are also effective in preventing most sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Gonorrhea, chlamydia, and trichomoniasis are transmitted when infected semen or vaginal or other body fluids contact mucosal surfaces. Condoms provide a great level of protection against these STIs because they protect both partners against exposure to the other’s body fluids. Condoms also provide some protection against STIs—such as genital herpes, syphilis, chancroid, and human papillomavirus (HPV)—which are transmitted primarily through contact with infected skin or with mucosal surfaces. Because these STIs may be transmitted by contact with surfaces not covered or protected by the condom, condoms provide a lesser degree of protection against them.
Fertility awareness is a means of understanding a woman’s reproductive cycle by observing and writing down fertility signs. These signs determine whether or not she can become pregnant on a given day. A woman is actually fertile during only about a fourth of her cycle. This method is a great way for a woman to learn more about her body, but it is not recommended for teens.

What are the three primary fertility signs? They are a woman’s temperature when she first wakes up; her cervical fluid (the fluid at the mouth of a woman’s womb); and the position of her cervix. The fertility awareness method permits a woman to use this information so that she may abstain from intercourse when she is most fertile.

Injectable Contraceptives (most commonly known as Depo-Prevera)
The type of shot most used is called Depo-Provera. It is a shot given every three months. It is a hormone, much like the progesterone a woman produces during the last two weeks of each monthly cycle. Injectables stop the woman’s ovaries from releasing an egg and have other contraceptive effects. Among typical couples who initiate use of injectables, about three percent of women will experience an accidental pregnancy in the first year.

Withdrawal (Coitus Interruptus)
When the man senses that he is about to ejaculate (come), he pulls his penis out of the vagina. He ejaculates outside of the vagina. This takes a lot of discipline! If the woman has not had an orgasm, the man can stimulate her in other ways after withdrawal. It works best if the couple has agreed to use this method in advance. Among typical couples who initiate use of withdrawal, about 27 percent of women will experience an accidental pregnancy in the first year. If withdrawal is used consistently and correctly, about 4 percent of women will become pregnant. Use in combination with spermicides (foam or film) for increased effectiveness.

Outercourse
Outercourse—or what you might call “alternatives to sexual intercourse”—usually refers to types of sexual intimacy which do not involve oral, vaginal, or anal sex. This may include:
• Holding hands
• Hugs
• Kisses
• Petting above the belt
• Petting below the belt
• Mutual masturbation
But outercourse does take some discipline! Both partners must be committed to this method. Or else these exciting forms of sexual intimacy can lead to sexual intercourse. It is not an extremist position to practice only outercourse in this age of viral infections. It works better if there has been communication in advance. Decide in advance what sexual activities you will say “yes” to and discuss these with your partner. Tell your partner, very clearly and in advance, not at the last minute, what activities you will not do. At the same time learn more about the methods of birth control and safer sex so that you will be ready if you change your mind.
