This post has been submitted by Yaro Starak – Entrepreneurs-Journey and Small Business Branding. He’s also working on a new site at Blog Traffic King. I’ve asked Yaro to write an introduction to finding readers for a blog – something which I’ll write more on also in the days ahead.

In every bloggers life comes a special day – the day they first launch a new blog. Now unless you went out and purchased someone else’s blog chances are your blog launched with only one very loyal reader – you. Maybe a few days later you received a few hits when you told your sister, father, girlfriend and best mate about your new blog but that’s about as far you went when it comes to finding readers.

I. What Is A Proxy Server?
A proxy server is an interface between your browser and the destination server. The proxy server will take your page request and handles for your browser the connection to the destination. These proxy servers are also able to cache pages. If such a proxy is configured to cache it will at first take look to its local cache if the requested page already exist. If not it can search in other caching proxy servers or makes directly the request to the destination. This depends on the configuration for the proxy. (more…)

You have several good choices in this category. To me a good downloader is one that does the job, is well integrated into your browser and is not intrusive. (more…)

Search toolbars allow users to do web searches without having to go first to the home page of a search engine. This really saves a lot of time. In the last year search toolbars have become a hotly competed product class and as result, users now have an excellent choice. The “best” in terms of features is probably Yahoo’s Toolbar whose features include anti-spyware capabilities as well as popup blocking. It’s for Internet Explorer but they are currently offering a beta version for Firefox. My only beef with the Yahoo product is that I prefer to use Google for my web searches rather than Yahoo and that’s why I use the Google Toolbar which also offers popup blocking though no anti-spyware features. On the other hand it includes a useful web form spell-checker and a few other goodies not found in the Yahoo product. Google also offers a full Firefox version as well as the standard IE version.

AM-DeadLink scans your browser bookmark file for dead links or duplicate links. When I tried it on my huge favorites file I discovered 17% of my links were dead. I’ve now got a much leaner set of favorites and the comfort of knowing that the links actually work. Freeware, all Windows versions, Internet Explorer, Opera, Mozilla and Firefox, 1.1MB. (more…)

I used WS_FTP Pro as my principal FTP client for years. What started out as simple but effective product gradually with each new version became more feature-bloated and less effective for simple routine tasks. With the release of Version 9 it was clear to me that the product had totally lost its way so I started looking for an alternative. After trying seven different FTP clients I decided that the best for me was the Open Source utility FileZilla [1]. It uses a simple layout based on a two pane interface that looks a bit like the early versions of WS_FTP. But this simplicity is deceptive, it is actually a quite powerful product There’s a full featured site manager, firewall and proxy support, SSL and Kerberos GSS security, restart, drop and drag and a lot more. The only significant feature that’s missing is site-to-site transfer but that’s of no importance to me. What is of importance is that FileZilla is fast, totally reliable, secure and and very easy to use. There’s also a free FileZilla FTP server which I haven’t used but I hear that it’s just as good as the client. (more…)

This is one of my most requested items but up until now I’ve not been able to give any product my endorsement. There have been any number of contenders: Amaya for example, impressed with its standards compliance but was incomplete while Selida looked slick but had too many bugs. Finally a worthy contender has arrived on the scene in the form of the Open Source Nvu. (more…)

This is a difficult category as ordinary users need products that are easy to use and frankly, most free spam filters are way too complex to set up and use. The best products in this class are in fact, shareware not free. That said, MailWasher [1] is for most folks, the best free option. (more…)
