Looking for a new computer or want to upgrade your current rig? iBUYPOWER has the right kind of systems up your alley, where they have just announced new systems that feature ‘Sandy Bridge’ Intel 2nd Generation Core Processors, boasting the new B3 revision Intel chipsets which will already do away with issues reported by Intel late last month.

Among the systems with the revised Intel chipsets include iBUYPOWER’s flagship system, the Chimera XLC, where it will feature its scorching hot flame painted chassis as well as a cooling system that makes it a snap to overclock your system without worrying too much. The Chimera will sport a gargantuan 240mm radiator a 200mm fan and five 120mm fans which will keep things cool – even during the sweltering summer.

Apart from that, these new Sandy Bridge CPUs deliver improved overclockability and for customers to take full advantage of this feature, they can do so with iBUYPOWER’s Power Drive Overclocking service. You will be able to choose from a Level 1 (10% faster), Level 2 (20% faster) or Level 3 (30% faster) CPU performance boost.

Hey Guys,

Well the other day I started Guest Posting again. I used to guest post a lot but it sorta sizzled out because I really hadn’t seen that much traffic from it.

Then I read a post somewhere (I don’t recall where exactly) but this post opened my eyes to the better parts of guest posting and I simply couldn’t resist. So I started by sending Mr. John Chow himeself a semi controversial post about sites getting banned from google because of paid links.

This post sparked a lot of discussion on it with the comments and gave me a fresh perspective as well. Thats not what this post is about though, no this post is about being authentic and why thats important. Got your coffee? Snack Bar? Good. Lets get this party started!

What does being an authentic blogger mean?

Being an authentic blogger is rather simple, its about being real to yourself and what you believe. If you want to post something no matter how controversial or opinionated it is you should post it. In fact bloggers like this usually are well accepted because everyone wants someone to hate with!

Being authentic can entail making your blog more about yourself but in my opinion it should be how the blog presents itself. It’s colors, orginization and the actual content should reflect your own person as closely as possible.

If you are a boring person to begin with you may find blogging to be difficult, then again you may find its the one way you can express yourself freely without regret. Whatever you do make sure you blog is you and not just another pretty picture on the wall.

How can we be the most authentic writers?

When it comes to your actual writing this is where I see a lot of bloggers missing the mark. They provide good content, lots of it but it lacks the personal side that actually makes people want it.

I am constantly working on this one myself because I want people to read my words and know its me who is speaking them. This presents some challenges so a few tips to keep your writing authentic are:

- Place images in your posts that reflect the story and your personal vision of the post.
- Reply to the people who do comment, its the best way to get them to come back and talk.
- Use styling to make your posts look pretty, open up a magazine and decide what YOU like and replicate there successful business sense on your blog.

Will my blog fail if i’m not authentic?

Not really, blogs can be completely business sensed and have no personal side to them at all and still be hugely successful. Look at blogs like TechCrunch for an example.

Although you won’t lose business wise, I still believe its important to connect with your readers on a personal level. Without it they have no reason to read your small blog, maybe when it gets bigger if you get lucky but in the trenches now is where you must be able to connect with them.

What else should I be doing to stay Real?

There are a few things you can do to make sure you stay Real in all the caos blogging brings with it. Just a few things worth mentioning:

- Have your blog design contain a picture or a mascot that looks like you. (All the big bloggers do this). It creates a connection with the reader and your face.
-Don’t ignore anyone, this can really hurt your blogs rep. Respond to emails even the hateful ones and just be real with them.
- Use social sites like Twitter, Facebook and other media sites like YouTube to connect and engage your readers.

If you can do all that then you are definteley being authentic and you will most likely succeed in this blogging system! Comment below and let me know what you think!

Google on Thursday began using a new algorithm to rid its top search results of what it described as low-quality websites. This will reduce the rankings for sites that are low value-add for users, ones that copy content from other websites, or sites that just aren’t very useful. Simultaneously, the algorithm will improve the rankings for high-quality sites, which Google defines as sites with original content and information such as research, in-depth reports and thoughtful analysis.
