How have you used SEO and tags to help search engines locate your blog?

Knowing how to use search engine helps in getting higher rankings for your blog even thought it takes time and a lot of work. Everyone knows that creating an engaging website helps build a loyal following and attract links. We conducted a Keyword Research by trying to guess what people type when they use a search engine. The best free keyword for this guess includes the Google tool, or Wordtracker to research trends in search phrases. For a premium keyword research tool, look for SEObook.com, SEOmoz.org, or Raven Tools. Another trick is focusing on low competitive key-phrases. Choose a word or phrase, the type it into Google search using quotations and then look at the number that appears below the search box. If the number is large over 75,000, then it should be avoided because it’s highly competitive. If it’s small, then focus on it because it should be much easier to score a top ranking. To maintain a search traffic we must choose one keyword or phrase and then Write or Tweak about the Article. Also use the keyphrase in the title of your post and in your title tags, it’ll have more opportunity of search. Repeat the Key-phrase in the Article. Be clear and concise wins with tags, for weird or creative ones aren’t so easy to find. Using keywords in your meta description tags does not help you rank higher for Google bolds the key phrase in the search results. So, while it may not help you rank higher, it will encourage people to click on your search results. Include images related to the key phrases been used. This small tips might take time but at the end give a reward.

How have you used SEO and tags to help search engines locate your blog?

The basics of SEO if you are not familiar with the term is that if you want people to find your website or blog on Google, you need to have lots of words on your website, and those words should be the “keywords” you think people would be looking for on Google. In the world of SEO, they often say “content is king”. Because without it is way harder for your websites to be found. On the other hand we have what we know as tags and learned about them when Instagram started even a little while back but weren’t as popular as they are now. They have become a fundamental characteristic in the popularity of unknown websites to be seen. Since google or other search engines can be captured attention from the tags to the searches being made by people. Commonly used in blogs, site authors attach keyword descriptions (called tags) to identify images or text within their site as a categories or topic. Web pages and blogs with identical tags can then be linked together allowing users to search for similar or related content. If the tags are made public, online pages that act as a Web-based bookmark service are able to index them. tags can be created using words, acronyms or numbers. Tags are also called tagging, blog tagging, folksonomies, or social bookmarking. That’s why on every post we have intended to put common and regular vocabulary and content that will be easy for people of the public to find our blog as well as setting several number of tags on each post in order for it to spread a little wider. Our content is accurate and if it’s read I am sure it will be of much help as well.

How, according to O’Brien, does the The Party as an oligarchy differ from Nazism or Russian Communism? How does he define the role of the martyr, both in terms of The Party and the other totalitarian systems?

Posted on December 17, 2014 by eclass1984

O’Brien sees it in this perspective, the difference between the Party and Nazism or Russian Communism is that the Party has been able to accomplish to take away the depths agaisnt the people judged because of their religious beliefs. The Nazis and Communists tried to change any threats. This is done by giving their enemies public trials and executions, in publis places like central parks, shopping areas. Through time, these men and women became what you may call martyrs to the people, being categorized for such mentality and the tolerance and humiliation from the trials that were done public-ally were forgotten.
In the book 1984 the Party’s system of mind control is adequate and fulfilling, statements made by the party are verdict. This is perfectly accomplished by changing the lies into truths for the people. The Party constantly rewrites past aspects of events and burns all tracks of what actually happened. They control the media in order for them to maintain that control over the population. Leaving the proles in complete ignorance, without even knowing.
Another difference pointed out by O’Brien is that the Party is direct in what they want accomplish as a government, therefore having all power power for themselves. Instead of the shallow and vague system and strategies caused in past times by German Nazis and Russian Communists. I use these examples since they promised in vain. For instance they promised the people of their countries power and freedom. But they have several similarities, one of which is the alteration and total control of the media. As well as the elimination of their enemies.

What makes the proles human and the party members inhuman?

Posted on December 17, 2014 by eclass1984

Proles acted with the importance of a single character. In fact, they seem like one, since they aren’t seen as individuals. That’s the point of the proles they’re just a nameless, mindless group of people. This turned into 80-85% of the population. Winston envies them as the only free and human beings left, even though they aren’t very bright, they’re ignorant, and they’re the working class – but even after every con of the situation they’re happy. They’re happy, that’s everything a human should need in this world and also were human because they are not subject to the same examination and control that Winston and his friends are under. They have a pure soul because; they don’t realize they’re being oppressed by the ruling, power-hungry government in the first place. Meanwhile the Party members are inhuman compared to everything talked about the proles. They don’t have a pure soul, not even a soul at most. The party doesn’t have control over their actions they seek to have over people. For instance in chapter 7 of 1984 as Winston is talking about his dream with Julia that involved his mom, he reminisces of his childhood which brings up how he hates the Party for having eliminated human feelings. He believes that the proles are still human, but that Party members like him and Julia are forced to suppress their own feelings to the point that they become virtually inhuman.

1984 is a presentation of Orwell’s definition of dystopia and was meant as a warning to those of the modern era. What specifically is Orwell warning us against, and how does he achieve this?

Posted on December 17, 2014 by eclass1984

Most of his novels, 1984 in particular transmit the fear losing individual freedom to an increasingly oppressive modern society within technology. The book itself didn’t have a happy ending, instead it demonstrated how weak one alone could be against power and imprisonment. Orwell warned us mostly of the things Edward Snowden has revealed. From intercepting every call within Afghanistan and The Bahamas up to spying on world wide leaders. He who was only revealing the truth was condemned to 30 years in prison, thankfully he has the opportunity to live exiled. This a clear example of the real life representation of Winston’s character with the difference that he was smart. Snowden knew that he alone wouldn’t succeed, but with the support of big countries then he would be safe. Orwell also warms is of a totalitarian government who’s methods are efficient and very harsh. They inflict harsh punishment on anyone who commits an independent act. This government is so powerful that it not only controls the present and everything people do, but they also control the past. Anything that does not comply with what the government wants they just erase from the past. The Party keeps watch over everyone. Each house has at least one tele-screen mounted on the wall so the government can keep watch over everyone’s actions, this indeed might be represented as the spying the FBI does through the cameras and microphones of our iPads, cellphones etc. They do this to keep individuals in line. In some way is just what the government is making, but we choose to ignore it because while we follow the rules then we will go in peace.

What are your opinions of The Theory and Practice of Oligarchical Collectivism?

Posted on December 17, 2014 by eclass1984

The Theory and Practice of Oligarchical Collectivism was written by Goldstein, a Party leader who fell out of favor with the regime. Everybody believes it to be a terrible book that’s circulated clandestinely here and there referred it as “The Book”. In some way it’s extremely feared for that’s the propaganda the party has given. The book begins by saying that societies always have hierarchically divided themselves into sections; the High, the Middle, and the Low, but that their goals are always irreconcilable. The High (who rule); the Middle (who work for, supplant the High), and the Low (whose goal is just survival), this Social stratification is seen outside 1984. Inside and out of 1984, class status will always be the product of wealth, power, and prestige. The upper or high class is composed of a small but powerful percent of people whom intend to govern more than the 95% of th

#proles #party

e population. ruling is power, power is money, and money with power gives prestige. Today we call this business and politics, we become puppets of big companies and governments thinking that working for them is making us good, which in part I am obligated to believe is true. The Book says that eventually the middle will pass to the high class, but I doubt it to ever be true without the force of a extreme authoritarian government for social reproduction occurs. This stability happens because each generation acquires cultural capital: the tastes, habits, expectations, skills, knowledge, and other cultural dispositions that are required to become members of particular social classes. Three particular quotes are introduced to doublethink; “Ignorance is Strength”, “War is Peace” and ” Freedom is Slavery”. There’s this constant bombardment of propaganda triggering fear that covers in lies to strength people’s minds to so great an extent that they accept unquestionably facts that are totally the opposite of reality. For example, The Ministry of Love is really a torture centre, The Ministry of Peace is dedicated for war and the Ministry of Truth is committed distorting the truth. The language used is the antonym of the significance. The term refers to the Party’s ideology, it explains the basic political philosophy of the totalitarianism that derived from the authoritarian political tendencies manifested at the beginning of the twentieth century were chaos stabbed Russia and were great world potencies failed through the great depression, WW1 and 2. Supposedly The Book is a parody of Leon Trotsky’s real-life book “The Revolution Betrayed”.

In what ways can you compare Big Brother to Hitler?

Posted on December 17, 2014 by eclass1984

We can find some similarities to this totalitarian regime with the regime of Adolf Hitler. They are both totalitarian regimes that are ruled by different leaders that can convince people to follow them so they can rule a population, and make people to be subordinated to them just by persuading them. So if you look to both totalitarian regimes you can find come similarity in how they ruled the population and what their idea was, but also can find a lot of differences between bot regimes. In the novel of 1984 the author writes about the society under the powerful and omniscient Big Brother. Is an story that show us the dangers of a totalitarian government. So in the book it shows how controlling Big Brother is and also shows that in the future it would be so much more. That means that in the future the danger would be bigger. This is a similarity that Big Brother has with Adolf Hitler; both are very controlling, Hitler controlled and watched all the time the Nazis and the Jews. Both leaders besides being very controller both are obsessed with power. So both leaders needed to have everyone in control of them, because they needed that. Hitler didn’t think twice about his actions, this relates to Big Brother because he was also quick to judge and didn’t give anyone second choice, you were or equal or dead. Influencing people at a young age is one tactic used by Hitler in Nazi Germany and by Big Brother in 1984 to keep the future of their nations devoted. This type of organization makes the young ones feel like they are involved in something important. Both Hitler and Big brother have ways of brain washing the youth mind so they start following them. The spies in 1984 and the Hitler Youth in Nazi Germany grow up living the way that their dictator had set up. Even though they have different ways to rule their government, they still have the same purpose, they love the power, they like to feel superior. They manipulate to have a pure party. Big Brother was a mirror image of Hitler in many aspects. Both dictators had the leadership ideals, the propaganda techniques, the secret police and many other manipulative ways to influence everyone. Hitler and B.B ruled with no tolerance of opposition. Big Brother’s plans were a success to have a powerful state.

Get in the mind-set of Winston Smith. Make a list of the strangest things you have seen since The Party came into power.

Posted on December 17, 2014 by eclass1984

I always feel like somebody is watching me.
I remember we were not always in war with Euroasia, about four years ago we were in war with our allies of Eastasia.
There is no love since the Party took control, there are no happy marriages.
The kids are such swines, they accuse their parents of thoughtcrime.
I remember seeing some leaders of the party sitting in the Chestnut Tree Café when a while ago I took a picture of them and put it in the Times telling they were once part of the brotherhood against the party and supposedly where at the party function force to confess their false crimes.
I know something about Big Brother is wrong, the Party says he appears in the 1930 even though i didn’t hear about him until 1960.
I see so much people disappearing and people that I thought were dead appearing in the newspapers.

The inheritance nature of the individual

Winston’s argue ” Spirit of Man”

I believe that there is a point in which it is nearly impossible to undermine ones sense as it is not accurate in such case to the exploitation of the human mind in order to do this. i would mostly wish that the spirit of man would win in the end, as we have gone through much I think that we humans can persist, if we remain strong by being together and by fighting for the mans right. So I agree with Winston’s belief that no matter what happens the spirit of man is strong enough to overcome a society such as the Party. In the society we live now there are always certain people in history that live a mark in the world by trying to make a change.

We as humans think that we deserve our right and we fight for them until we achieve that goal. In this times like in the book of 1984 we have revolution, the whole idea will change and there is a point of rebellion in which people wouldn’t give up to achieve there goals. it is amazing how one person can start a revolution and making people follow him to accomplish its main ideal. Awakening this person from what its going on, the real life enemy and everything they knew was that he wasn’t going to quite easily as the main leader was trying to push people and wake them from the dark and see what it surrounds them, shouting for the need of a change.
