Is HSDPA and WCDMA the same thing regarding mobile phones?

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070818192619AA9qO6R

Nokia says that their 6300 is a WCDMA phone and 6120 is a HSDPA phone. Are Both Same?

HSDPA provides a smooth evolutionary path for Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) networks allowing for higher data capacity. It is an evolution of the W-CDMA standard, designed to increase the available data rate by a factor of 5 or more. HSDPA defines a new W-CDMA channel, the high-speed downlink shared channel (HS-DSCH) that operates in a different way from existing W-CDMA channels, but is only used for downlink communication to the mobile

HSDPA is compatible with EDGE and is fully backwards compatible with WCDMA, and enterprise and rich multimedia applications developed for WCDMA will work with HSDPA. Most UMTS vendors support HSDPA.

I copied these statements from the website listed below. Hope it answers your question.

HSPDA vs WCDMA

http://www.windmobile.ca/community/ideas/detail/33901/

2 months, 2 weeks ago

WCDMA, UMTS, HSPA, HSDPA, HSUPD, HSPA+... They are all the same thing for most practical purposes. The data speeds gets faster as you go from left to right. They are are all forward and backwards compatible. Think of it as USB1.0, USB 1.1, USB 2.0, USB 3. You can use a HSPA handset on WCDMA network, but your data speeds will be limited.
WIND currently supports speeds up to HSDPA 7.2. You can use HSPA+ device, it just won't be able to download data faster than 7.2Mbps. You can also use WCDMA/UTMS handsets, just at slower speeds (300Kbps).

WCDMA and HSDPA?

WCDMA and HSDPA?
I bought a new mobile phone, and it happens that it only supports 3G (WCDMA).

I am currently living in Canada, Toronto.
I heard that HSDPA is more powerful than WCDMA, and HSDPA is covered in Toronto. Does it mean my phone shouldbe be able to work, since HSDPA is fully backward compatible with WCDMA?

Thanks!

I think you are getting things a bit mixed up. WCDMA (or Wideband CDMA) is a technological term used to describe so called '3G' cellular services. Despite the naming convention, WCDMA doesn't necessarilly only work with CDMA technology (CDMA is the technology that Verizon and Sprint use in the US; AT&T and T-Mobile use GSM) -- although there are some CDMA services that could be considered WCDMA.

One version of WCDMA is the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) which in fact is the WCDMA technology used by AT&T/Cingular and I believe by Rogers in Toronto as well. The underlying technology used by AT&T's and Roger's UMTS is High Speed Downlink Packet Access or HSDPA. Thus if you have an HSDPA compatible device you are in fact using WCDMA technology. I know, its a confusing alphabet soup, but that is the nature of telecom services unfortunately.

So in answer to your question what you need to do is find out if your device is an HSDPA compatible device. But I would think that it is because that I am aware of the only WCDMA services available in Canada at this time are in fact the UMTS/HSDPA services offered by Rogers. Most HSDPA devices are backwards compatible and in the case of AT&T/Rogers I believe this would mean the device would be able to utilize other GSM services like EDGE and GPRS when HSDPA services are not available. But that can vary depending on the carrier, so check with the provider to be sure.

I hope this clears things up a bit.

不用SEO也能创建好网站

http://dqaria.com/playit/no-seo.html

　搜索引擎优化，俗称SEO，是一个会渐渐在互联网上消亡的话题。绝大多数人都认为SEO在互联网上对任何事物都是最为重要的。他们认为你没有做SEO，你的网站必定默默无闻，如果你做好了SEO，你的网站必定会取得成功。我们还在本篇文章中分析了WooThemes的案例，并写有我（John O Nolan）与 Adii Pienaar的问答和 Adii Pienaar对SEO的看法。

　　他们想让你做什么？

　　SEO公司使用的技术分为两种派别："白帽SEO"，"黑帽SEO"。人们以前常用黑帽SEO来描述一些用可疑的方法来欺骗搜索引擎的人。他们将许多网站互连以获得更多的外链，更高的PR值，利用搜索引擎算法的漏洞来编写最优化的页面。但实际说来，白帽SEO也不比黑帽SEO好多少。

　　说白了，SEO公司只有一个目的。那就是将网站放在主流搜索引擎的热门关键字的最高位置上。他们并不重视他们所优化的网站的内容，只要网页上有足够多的关键字就够了。他们不重视他们所优化的网站的可用性，只要搜索引擎可以简单顺利地索引到就够了。他们并不关心网站的跳出率或是人们在浏览这个网站时有多么困惑和烦恼。做白帽SEO的家伙确实是遵循了搜索引擎指定的规矩。他们几乎没有和任何Google服务发生冲突。并且他们只会去使用被认为是正当的SEO技术。但问题是尽管他们在搜索引擎上高高在上，他们还是完全忽视了重点。

　　如果人们仅仅花了5s浏览你可怕的网站，并马上按下浏览器上的back按钮，我想无论你的网站在搜索引擎上有着多么高的权重，你的网站依然是废物一堆。

　　有一些SEO公司是由主投资人从客户那拿钱成立的。它们就付钱给未经训练的员工，让那些家伙建立有着成堆虚假内容和虚假链接的垃圾博客站。更令人捧腹的是，这些公司居然把自己归为完全的白帽SEO，他们居然堂而皇之地认为这是循规蹈矩的操作。可他们实际上只是用了一堆可疑的，卑劣的手段来达到目的。我知道这些，是因为我自己就曾经为这种下三滥的公司工作过，并且我现在厌恶那时的每分每秒。

　　但确实也还有这么一些人，他们有着丰富的SEO知识，但相比整个网站的设计与规划，他们只浅浅地利用了SEO技术。他们和上面两类人的区别是-他们基本不提SEO.现在我不得不稍稍打断文章来做一个简短的声明：并不是所有的SEO公司都那么坏，也并不是所有的SEO公司都侵犯你的利益。其实还是有一小部分SEO公司的人是真心诚意地想要帮助你，更正你对互联网的错误认知。（提示：这些可不是spam）

　　你应该做什么？

　　搜索引擎被设计用来让客户搜索到最好最恰当地网站。我重复一遍：最好最恰当地网站。而不是那些"最优化的网站"

　　大量赞成使用SEO技术来获得更好排序的人们一致认为：一个优秀的网站建设者会这样对希望建立好网站的你说：使用合适的头部标签，建立简单有序的链接来有效地组织你的网站，确保相关内容较好地被呈送并且能方便地链接到。制造一些其他人喜欢转载或是评论的文章。

　　简而言之，你可以用一辆1992年的本田思域赢得一场比赛，但你需要注入大量的燃料，并要带出大量的氮氧化物。而用这些钱，你都可以买辆奔驰了。如果你想建立一个在搜索引擎中表现地好的网站，那么就不要再去想如何讨好搜索引擎了，还是多想想怎样才能建立一个足够出色的网站吧！用合适的方式编写你的网站，使它易于进入，使它充分具有可用性，确保它有极好的内容，确保你的网站有着广阔的市场并具有良好的口碑。这些同样是使搜索引擎增进你网站权重的重要因素。

　　当你建设网站时，如果你花时间做正确的事，并在网站的成长过程中密切关注你用户的需求，那么搜索引擎给你的权重必定会提高。我向你保证！-这些事没有哪个SEO公司可以做到。

　　案例分析：WooThemes

　　仅在三年前，Adii Pienaar和他的两个合作创立者白手起家建立了WooThemes.他们密切关注他们的产品，他们的顾客，他们的市场营销，而不是过多的关注SEO.

　　在2年时间里，WooThemes年收入超过200万美元-这足以证明他们所做的事情是十分明智的。

　　当我请求Adii分享他的成功经验时，他这样说：

　　Adii，你总是密切关注如何建设WooThemes，使之拥有优质的产品和良好的市场，而不是把重点放在SEO上。最初是什么让你这样想的呢？

　　"老实说，我们的项目存在两个束缚因素，我们有必要用合适的方式去处理他们。这两个束缚是：1）对SEO相关知识与经验的严重缺失；和2）没钱买链接或是在AdWords上做广告来形成强有力的竞争。但我一直认为"内容是金"，而SEO手段是违背原则的。因此我们也只能去关注我们可以控制的：优秀的产品和了不起的内容。这两项为我们的网站带来了可观的互链和反链数量，这最终使我们网站的权重大幅提高。"

　　Andii 那么你们完全没有特别对网站进行SEO对你的公司总体说来有什么影响呢？尤其是对访客数和站点流量数据的影响？

　　"我完全不认为不进行SEO对我们有什么消极的影响，相反的，我们看到我们网站的访问者每次会看6页以上的内容，并花6分钟时间浏览我们的网站。"

　　当搜索与优质的WordPress主题相关的大多数关键词时，你的网站始终有着极高的排名，你是否密切地关注着这一情况？为了在未来提高你网站的权重，你是否做出了策划或是打算？

　　"我们确实关注着这些关键词，但并不是十分密切地去关注… 为了在搜索引擎的关键字上显示得更好，投放AdWords是一个常见的做法。但我们发现这样做没有性价比（这也是我们停止投放的原因）。因此我们的策略不变：努力做出更好的内容和产品-这一定会让更多人关注谈论我们的产品，最终使我们网站的权重更高。

　　你最近开始为你的主题提供许多第三方插件的整合服务，这其中有许多为WordPress提供SEO的插件，是什么使你选择提供这些产品呢？亦或是这在某些方面改变了你的观点？

　　"我们决定为我们的主题添加合适的SEO支持，因为这是我们顾客的主要需求，并且我们不想让自己的观点在这方面使我们的决定动摇。我们网站内容占80%，SEO相关技巧占20%，但这种组合是由个人想法决定的。因此我们承认我们的顾客可能会在这方面的权衡上与我们不同。"

　　最后，如果让你重新来一次，你会对你们的SEO策略做出改变吗？

　　"我真希望我们可以重新启动互联网，并确保SEO就此消失。

　　认真的想法-不，我们不会对我们的SEO策略做出改变。"

　　总结

　　你不需要浪费钱付费给SEO公司，这不值得，你也不需要付钱给其他站长买链接。你更不能把所有时间都浪费在研究如何获得更好的排名。好的排名并不是建设网站或是电子商务最重要的东西。

　　人们总是这样来打比方：SEO可以提高你网站的排名，正如将你的店面放在市中心的最繁华地段。

　　但最重要的是：无论你的店面前有着多么豪华的马路，亦或是你的隔壁就是Gucci和Prada这样的顶尖品牌，如果你的店面内部锈迹斑斑，服务员粗暴无礼，也绝对没人会进你的店铺，即便他们不小心进去了，他们也会马上离开。

　　做一个优秀的网站才是最优先最重要的。优秀的网站总会获得极高的排名，因为这才是搜索引擎被设计要去做的事。站长们，开始关注什么才是最重要的吧！

成为高权重网站的十六种途径

http://www.001pp.com/sousuoyinqingyouhua/31337.html

飞翔猪

在影响网站搜索引擎表现的4大因素中，网站权重占据了非常重要的一环，而且，由于权重在很大程度上比诸如链接，onpage因素更具备不可操作性，也提升了权重对于排名的影响程度，成为高权重网站是每位站长的梦想，那么所谓的权重究竟是怎样的一种东西呢？

从表现上来看，高权重的网站会更受搜索欢迎，同样的内容高权重的网站更容易获得排名，对于作弊行为的认定尺度也会更宽松，因此，从某种意义上讲，高权重的网站也可以被理解为更受搜索引擎信任的网站。而"信赖"这种情感，是不会出现在还没通过图灵测试的死板计算机身上的，因此，高权重网站的认定，实质上，是一种"人工审核"的行为，极少数可以通过大量资源堆砌而成。因此，从这个角度上讲，只要你的网站尽可能通过互联网上一些较为可信的人工审核，那么，权重就能够慢慢获得提升，具体而言，如何成为一个高权重的网站呢？

首先，能够确定的，高权重网站有以下三种。

1、使用edu gov域名的的政府以及教育网站，这类的域名都是需要人工审核申请的。

2、各大搜索引擎新闻源是各大搜索引擎所认定的高权重网站。

3、各大顶级门户网站，例如中国的新浪，搜狐，网易，美国的aol，yahoo

而以下几种途径，则可以让你逐步提升权重，例如

4、加入人工审核的网页目录，典型的例如dmoz。

5、获得高权重网站的链接投票，链接的位置举例这些网站的首页越近，则获得的权重越高。

6、勤快的更新独特内容，成为互联网上的内容源。

7、通过具有公信力的各种人工审核，例如有审核机制的域名将会获得更多的信任，而无申请门槛甚至免费的域名将由于大量垃圾站的出现被降权使用，除此之外，江湖上还流传着一些神乎其神的传说，虽然看上去不那么靠谱，但还是有一定的参考价值。

8、独立ip

9、稳定高速的服务器网络环境。

10、尽可能链接向高权重的网站。

11、高速的页面执行以及下载速度

12、符合w3c范式的页面代码

13、"清白"的whois历史。

14、足够长的域名续费以及注册时间。

15、尽可能使用各大搜索引擎产品。加入各大搜索引擎联盟，使用百度统计或者ga。

16、在首页开辟一个专栏，内容包括但不限于以下：赞美李彦宏英俊的容貌，歌颂布林配奇睿智的额头，表彰飞翔猪同学分享的精神……传闻应用此法除了可以提升权重，还可以起到避邪保家安之神奇贡献，推荐诸君一试

80 Essential iPhone Apps for Small Business

http://enterprisemobiletoday.com/features/otherapps/print.php/3922656

Mobile Download Guide: 80 Essential iPhone Apps for Small Business By James Alan Miller January 28, 2011

The ever-expanding smartphone and mobile application market, as with the economy at large, depends on the support of small business to keep the engine of growth running smoothly. You could say--as we often hear from politicians regarding the country in general---America's legion of small, privately-owned companies are the foundation upon which the continued success of the wireless sector stands.

For Apple, it may have been consumers that first launched the iPhone into the stratosphere, but it is Steve Jobs and company's flagship product's growing adoption by business, particularly the millions of smaller ones, that will keep it, if not on top--Google's Android platform is quickly catching up and RIM's BlackBerry isn't going anywhere--then near the summit of today's unprecedented mobile device boom.

Like other mobile device manufacturers and software developers, Apple knows this of course. It would be imprudent, if not downright foolish of them to ignore the combined buying power of small businesses. That's why so many vendors in the wireless sector, Apple included, take the mobile computing needs of smaller companies so seriously when developing new products and marketing plans. And it is one reason why the 300,000-strong App Store contains tens of thousands of applications capable of helping the owners and employees of proverbial mom-and-pop establishments run their companies and get the most out of their iPhones--whether or not the apps in question were even targeted in their direction in the first place.

In this article, we've done the heavily lifting to help you decide what apps to install on your iPhone(s). We have sifted through the App Store with a fine tooth comb, distilling our list down to 80 essentials. As with previous articles in our series on great iPhone apps, every program listed below won't meet the needs of every small business operator, of course. They simply can't.

After all, as it sometimes appears, there are nearly as many different types of small businesses (i.e. medical and legal practices, accountants, dry cleaners, pharmacies, coffee houses, independent booksellers, restaurants, decorators, retail stores, franchises, etc.) as people running them, with each type and sub-type--let alone individual owners and employees--having their own unique mobile requirements.
