Windows 10 uses your bandwidth to send other people updates

Windows 10 launched on July 29 to much fanfare — it’s a free upgrade for Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 users — but along with the privacy issues, there’s another small thing you should check: by default, Windows 10 uses your internet connection to share updates with others across the internet.

The feature, called Windows Update Delivery Optimization is designed to help users get updates faster and is enabled by default in Windows 10 Home and Pro editions. Windows 10 Enterprise and Education have the feature enabled, but only for the local network.

It’s basically how torrents work: your computer is used as part of a peer to peer network to deliver updates faster to others. It’s a great idea, unless your connection is restricted.

You can disable WUDO, but the option is buried in the settings menu for Windows Update under ‘advanced options’ then ‘choose how updates are received.’

Microsoft says that delivery optimization will not download or send personal content and only sends “parts” of the update cache but enabling it by default isn’t fair for users who might be on internet connections with limited bandwidth. I’ve asked Microsoft for details on how much data is sent when it’s enabled.

I formerly lived in New Zealand, a country where the average internet data cap is 40 GB. This feature being enabled could blow through a decent amount of my data without me even knowing it, if my connection wasn’t detected as metered.

If you’ve got limited amounts of upload or download bandwidth, it’s worth checking if this feature is enabled for you.

You can stop it sharing updates on these types of connections by setting your connection to metered or disabling the delivery optimization feature entirely.

The feature is a great idea — speeding up updates is good — but enabling it by default without the user’s knowledge is probably not a great idea.

Update: Microsoft says that the feature “helps people get updates and apps more quickly if they have a limited or unreliable Internet connection” and “does not slow down your internet connection” as it uses a “limited portion” of idle upload bandwidth.

Windows 10 so far

That said, there are so many new features and settings that sorting through them all can become overwhelming, and you could be missing out on making the most of your Windows 10 experience.

Don’t worry though; TNW’s got your back. We’ve been running the OS since the original Insider builds, so here are some of our top tips to get the most out of Microsoft’s latest:

Make the Start Menu as big as you want

The classic Start Menu is back and better than ever, mixing the best of Windows 7 and Windows 8 with some new tricks up its sleeve too. You can now drag the edges of the menu around to resize it to your heart’s content.

There’s also a neat little shortcut for accessing all your apps more easily; drag upwards on the left side of the menu with either your mouse or your finger and the full list of apps will appear. You can also click on any letter to navigate to apps starting with another letter quickly.

Use tablet mode even if you don’t have a touchscreen

Aside from a full screen Start Menu, tablet mode makes all apps default to being maximized, removes your taskbar icons, and only leaves essential notification tray items. If you want to switch apps, you have to use task view, Alt+Tab or open them manually.

By removing the non-essentials, it works as a great distraction-free working mode; OS X Lion introduced a full screen mode for much the same reason. You can also pick and choose what you want to appear on your taskbar by right-clicking on it while you’re in tablet mode.

Miss the Start Screen from Windows 8? Bring it back

Yes, it may seem like crazy talk, but we’re sure some desktop users liked the full screen app-launcher in Windows 8.

While switching your computer to tablet mode described above will default to the full-screen Start Menu, if you want to keep the look even in desktop mode, you’ll find the option in Settings>Personalization>Start.

Use search for changing settings, calculations and more

Search has been super-powered in Windows 10 thanks to Cortana. Aside from performing your usual assistant actions like setting an alarm or sending messages, and one of the best parts is how easy it is to find new settings. For example, you could’ve just found the right setting for the previous tip by typing “Use Start full screen” instead of clicking through the Settings app. Sorry.

In fact, I rarely peruse through the Settings menu directly anymore, as search is surprisingly good at finding what you’re looking for, even if you don’t type the terms precisely. Typing “change wallpaper,” for instance will bring up the option to “Choose background, slideshow or solid color as your background mode.”  It also generally surfaces results before you’re even done typing.

Cortana’s really good at math too, so you never have to open the calculator for quick calculations. Not only can she do the simple stuff like 2+2, she can solve for variables (ex ‘solve 5x+3655 = 50′), although you’re better off just typing those longer entries.

Given Cortana is largely powered by Bing, she’ll likely only get smarter over time – it’s worth trying to discover new features by simply typing your queries right into her search bar.

Personalize Cortana

Cortana is unique among voice assistants in that you’re able to control exactly what data she knows about you.

Her ‘Notebook’ – accessible on the left pane – contains all the information you want Microsoft to keep track of. Don’t care about finance? Turn off stock tickers.

More interestingly perhaps, Cortana lets you directly add information. For instance, instead of having her just arbitrarily guesstimate where you’d like to eat, you can input preferences for anything from cuisine type, to price range, to atmosphere.

It goes a long way towards making the assistants information cards and search results a lot more useful.

The settings will sync across all your Cortana-enabled devices too – evenAndroid.

Last bit – if you think the new search field embedded onto the taskbar takes up too much space, you can right-click, go to ‘Cortana’ and select to either only display an icon or hide Cortana altogether.

Uninstall programs right from the Start Menu

Just what it sounds like. Right click on any program, be it modern app or legacy windows software, and you’ll see the option to uninstall it right from the Start Menu – finally.

Granted, with legacy apps you still have to go through the classic ‘Add or Remove Programs’ Control Panel screen, but it’s still a nice addition.

Fetch any of your files from another computer using OneDrive

Say you have a lot of important files on your desktop computer, but are going on a trip for a week. With Windows 10, you can enable a feature that will allow you to access any of those files from any computer as long as your desktop is turned on and connected to the Web.

Right click on the OneDrive icon in your notification tray, and click on Settings. You’ll see an option that reads ‘Let me use OneDrive to fetch any of my files on this PC.’ Then simply open OneDrive via the Start Menu to restart the service.

You’ll then be able to access all your files by visiting OneDrive.com and clicking on your computer from the sidebar.

To be clear, this doesn’t just cover your automatically synced OneDrive folders; all the files accessible on your computer are up for grabs, even the ones in shared network folders.

Use Task View and Virtual Desktops to get organized

Team Windows finally received its own native alternative to OS X’s Mission Control (formerly Exposé), with Windows 10, and it’s wonderful. It’s a super quick way of switching between apps, while being more visually oriented than the traditional Alt+Tab.

You can activate it by pressing Win + Tab, swiping up with three fingers on your trackpad (most of them anyway), or by swiping in from the left edge of your screen. Microsoft clearly wants you to use the feature too, as it’s placed an icon right on the taskbar.

Likewise, when your desktop starts to become too cluttered, you can create a new virtual desktop using a button on the bottom right of Task View. For instance, you can leave one desktop for work and create another one for casual internet browsing.

Oh, and you can just drag windows between desktops from Task View as well.

Master the keyboard shortcuts

Windows 10 caters to the power user with a ton of new shortcuts. Here are some of our favorites:

Win + S: Cortana
Win + C: Cortana in listening mode
Win + A: Action Center
Win + Tab: Task View
Win + I: Settings
Win + Left/Right: Snap a window to the side
Win + Ctrl + D: Add a new virtual desktop
Win + Ctrl + Left/Right: Switch between desktops

If you want to sort through every new shortcut in Windows 10, Winbeta has a more thorough list here.

Oh, and you can finally copy and paste in command prompt. Thank goodness.

Add some color to the UI

I’m a fan of Windows 10’s new transparent dark look and blue highlihts, but sometimes you just want to add a little more color in your life. Thankfully you can use the personalization menu to do just that.

Right-click on your desktop, select Personalization, and click on the color tab on the left. From there you’ll see a selection of accent colors that will highlight selected apps, live tiles, and various UI elements.

If you want to take things a step further, click on ‘Show color on Start, taskbar, and action center,’ which does exactly what it says. It’d be nice if you could mix and match colors, but it’s still better than nothing.

Treat Edge to a stealthy look with Dark Mode

Microsoft’s Edge browser is off to a pretty great start, but the default grey is quite drab. Change it to a dark theme by opening the browser, opening the settings menu, and selecting the appropriate option from the “Choose a theme” drop down.

Evidence suggests that Microsoft is at least thinking of implementing anoptional system-wide dark theme. Here’s to hoping that ends up being true.

Change your default programs

Microsoft’s making it harder for software to change their default file associations. While that’s generally a good thing – it means the end of apps tricking you into switching your default browser or the like – it also makes it slightly more inconvenient when you legitimately do want to switch things up.

The easiest way is to type “change default apps” into search. You’ll be taken to a Settings page where you can choose your defaults for basic things like email, music and the web, but you can access more refined tools and change your settings by file type/extension or protocol. You can also just make individual apps default for all their supported file types.

Record your screen using Game DVR

The folks over at Gizmodo discovered a neat little trick for capturing your screen on Windows 10 without resorting to third-party software.

Activate the integrated Game DVR by pressing Windows+G, and a small window will pop up with a video capture button. The first time you try this on a new program, you’ll have to confirm it’s a game.

An option to record in the background also sets the program to always capture your screen – you can press Win + Alt + G to save whatever happened in the last 30 seconds.

The tool is obviously meant for gamers, but it works just as fine for pretty much anything else on the screen.

Disable Windows Update Delivery Optimization to save data

For all the cool new features in the OS, some of them are pretty questionable. By default, Windows 10 uses something called Windows Update Delivery Optimization to help users get updates faster.

This basically makes your computer part of a torrent-like peer-to-peer network built just for Windows Update. You can toggle it on and off in the ‘Advanced options’ portion of Windows Update, or read more about the feature and how to disable it in it in our post here.

While it probably won’t affect most users negatively – Microsoft assures us it does not slow down your internet connection – you might want to disable the feature if you’ve got limited bandwidth. Speaking of…

Tell Windows which of your connections have data caps

If you’re someone who frequently uses your phone’s hotspot/tethering features, or if you live somewhere with monthly data caps, you might want to tell Windows to stop doing so many things in the background by setting your connections to metered.

Doing so means Windows might only download essential updates, pause app downloads and stop automatically syncing files.  It also disables the aforementioned P2P updates.

To set your connection as metered, navigate to the Settings app then click Network & Internet > Wi‑Fi >Advanced options. From there you’ll see a toggle for settin gwhatever network you’re currently connected to as metered.

AdWords vs SEO – Which is best for your Marketing

Adwords and SEO are the main components of Search Engine Marketing (SEM) and are among your most valuable tools when running digital marketing campaigns. They have differences and similarities and there are situations that you should use them together or separately depending on your business and marketing goals.

What is Google AdWords?

If you are new to digital marketing, you may have heard people talking about PPC and Adwords and things like CPC, bids and campaigns may remind you of something but you are not sure of what. Let me explain.

Google Adwords is an advertising platform owned by Google. Advertisers can use this platform to position their ads in the Google Search Result pages, Google Products (YouTube, Gmail etc) and to thousands of other websites that participate in the AdWords program as publishers (that’s Google Adsense).

As advertiser you can choose to pay when someone clicks on your ad (Cost Per Click or CPC) or when people see your ad (CPM or Cost per Thousands Impressions). The whole Adwords system works like a big auction where advertisers compete for the available advertising places.

What is SEO?

Search Engine Optimization or SEO has to do with getting better rankings in the search engine results pages of Google, Yahoo, Bing and other major search engines. In order to achieve that, you need to make sure that your website is search engine friendly.

A search engine friendly website can be ‘read’ easily by search engines and used with ease by users. You can read my SEO tips for the most important configurations you need to apply to your website to make it search engine friendly but the general idea is to have a fast and functional website with unique content that offers a good experience to the end user.

AdWords VS SEO

Now that you have a general idea of what is adwords and SEO let’s see how they compare:

• Adwords is for Google sites and websites that use Google Adsense while SEO principles are applicable for all search engines.
• Adwords traffic is paid while SEO traffic is free (this is the believe in the industry but I will explain in another post why it is not exactly true)
• Adwords ads appear on the top and right of Google Search and under certain conditions you can get one of those ad positions but with SEO you have to work much harder to get one of the top positions in the organic search results.
• Adwords is more immediate than SEO since you can create advertising campaigns almost instantly and start getting targeted traffic while with SEO you need a lot more time (especially for new websites) to get good rankings and traffic.
• With Adwords is easier to calculate the ROI while with SEO is more difficult because there are a lot more factors that play a role and not just spending and revenue.
• When you stop your adwords campaigns traffic also stops but once you start getting organic traffic with SEO this will continue long term.
• With Adwords you can target many keywords at the same time while with SEO you need to focus on a few keywords for best results.
• With Adwords you can advertise on other Google websites and websites that use Google Adsense but the results from SEO are only for the search results pages.

You can also read my previous article: What is the difference between SEO and PPC for more examples on how these two tools differ.

Which is the best for your Marketing?

New companies can start with AdWords

When we started out as a pure SEO agency, the main goal in our internet marketing campaigns was to help our customers get traffic from Search Engines through SEO. This is still our major goal today but through the years and from our experience working with clients in different niches we realised that business owners sometimes need results faster and more immediate and this is where Adwords comes into play.

The biggest advantage of Adwords over SEO is that it can give you quicker results. You will have to pay for each of the visits you get from adwords but if your campaigns are profitable you can justify the investment in PPC and meet your business objectives.

Adwords is ideal for startups and new companies that want to get targeted trafficquickly for the purpose of making sales, finding new customers or even for testing their products, procedures, website effectiveness and any other component in their sales or marketing processes.

The above is true if you use AdWords wisely and carefully. It is very easy to start spending money on AdWords and if you don’t have proper monitoring and control tools you will end up making losses instead of profits.

What I always tell my clients about Adwords is that if you don’t use it correctly it will be like playing in a Casino where you spend money with the wishful thinking that sometimes you will get it back, but you never do!

So, while the system is easy to use (so that you spend more), if you don’t have the knowledge and experience to run Adword Campaigns, save your money and hire professionals to do it for you. This is the best approach so that you don’t lose money but gain from the use of Adwords.

Don’t forget about SEO

While is a good idea to start with Adwords because it’s faster, you should also begin working with SEO, Content marketing and social media for better results. These 3 tools are all you need for long term online success.

Content marketing will help you create the right content, SEO will help you optimize your content for search engines and get more organic traffic and social media will promote your SEO optimized content to a wider audience.

Should I use Adwords and SEO at the same time?

Some people argue that when you get SEO traffic you don’t need to use adwords but this is a wrong approach. Even if you have good rankings, you can still use Adwords and get more exposure for the same keywords that you get SEO traffic. You can measure the performance of your Adwords campaigns and if they are profitable you can even increase your budgets for a higher ROI.

So, which is the best to use for marketing, SEO or Adwords?

The answer is straightforward, both. Use Adwords to start getting traffic and in parallel work on your SEO, content marketing plan and social media campaigns so that you get organic traffic and visits from social networks.

Conclusion

Adwords and SEO are not competitors but they are two powerful tools available in your digital marketing arsenal. You can use adwords when you want traffic fast but you need SEO for long term and sustainable online success.

Step by step instructions to Monitor 100 Facebook Pages in 10 Minutes

You might not have a hundred pages, but rather in case you’re an online networking director, you likely have what’s coming to you.

In the event that you’ve turn into an accomplished online networking administrator, you’ve without a doubt got a framework for Quality Assurance. You require great QA to guarantee you have the right picture and connections, that you don’t have spelling and linguistic use botches, and obviously, that you’re not presenting on the wrong record!

Huge brands do botch up on Facebook:

It just goes to show that that mistakes can happen some of the best and most experienced social media teams on the planet.

Learning from Other form of Quality Assurance

For a paid inquiry battle, you trade the crusade and have an audit. For a SEO crusade, you’d likely put the site up on an organizing server and audit it before it goes live. Tragically, there is no organizing server for the Facebook news sustain. Indeed, you can see pending posts, however there is something about seeing things like that, transforms the QA part of people groups’ brains into overdrive. Additionally, with a live news nourish you’ll likewise see engagement through preferences, remarks, and shares.

For Facebook QA, I’ve made sense of an approach to make a devoted food for the Facebook pages you oversee. So that implies no promotions, no posts from companions, or different pages you’ve preferred — just posts from the pages you oversee.

How about we get into it?

How to Create a Dedicated Feed of the Facebook Pages you Manage

Step 1: Login to Facebook.com on your desktop. On the left-hand navigation, you’ll notice a bunch of different buttons and categories.

• Favorites
• Pages
• Groups
• Friends
• Apps
• Interests
• Events

The latter three should look something like this.

Step 2:  Hover over “INTERESTS” and click “More.”

You’ll then be taken to the interests page. From here, click the button “+ Add Interests”

Step 3: You’ll now be taken the “Add Interests.” Once you’re there, click the button “+ Create List.” As seen below:

Step 4: This is the fun part and where it all meets up!

Before you start this stride, you’ll have to gather a rundown of all the online networking pages you oversee.

Step 5: Start adding the pages you manage by searching for them!

Do this for each page you oversee, then return and check it for 10 minutes every morning or at diverse focuses for the duration of the day. You’ll rest guaranteed every social post is the way you need it and that you can possibly get lapses before they are seen by your fanbase.

At our Internet promoting organization GreenTech, we have every record supervisors do this for all their social customers. It’s a last line of QA that keeps posts running easily. Furthermore, its a legitimate motivation to utilize Facebook at work 

I trust this helps you and on the off chance that you have any inquiries or tips about how you QA your presents feel free on abandon them in the remarks and in the event that you discovered the post valuable, kindly remember to share it!

P.S. This food is likewise accessible on the Facebook application. Simply slide out the more menu on the base right corner and look down until you see sustains.

P.P.S. You can utilize Interest Feeds to make sustains of particular intrigues you have, whether is about soccer/football or your most loved groups. It’s an awesome approach to get away from the Facebook calculation. Appreciate!

Some other Keyword Research Tools

One need to choose those keywords that are frequently searched for and which is in high demand, but not being already used by many other websites and competitors, and thus has low competition. There are a number of keyword research tools that can help you find them.

Apart from the Wordtracker which was already discussed in an other article, we have some more equally important research tools like the Overture, Google AdWords Keyword and Guidebeam.

Overture's http://inventory.overture.com/d/searchinventory/suggestion/  keyword suggestion tool is free and much quicker to use than Wordtracker. It works more like the Wordtracker but doesn't tell you how many websites are targeting each keyword phrase. For example if you type ‘Computer’, the Overture search suggestion tool will tell you that during the last month the word ‘Computer’ was searched, say for example 459550 times at Overture.Com. Similarly 'computer game' was searched 302210 times. Also, given one word it will tell you all relevant combinations of that word, which are based on actual searches done by people. If the word you keyed in is not a common search term then you will not get any results. It means that very few people have actually searched for that word during the last month.

Even Google Keyword Tool generates potential keywords for your ad campaign and reports their Google statistics, including search performance and seasonal trends. Features of this tool include,

• Sorting the results of your desired keyword search by popularity, past performance history within the AdWords system, cost, and predicted ad position.
• Easy keyword manipulation where you can select a few keywords here and there or add them all at once.
• Searches for keywords present even in any webpage URL specified by your search. It can also expand your keyword search even further to include those pages that are linked to or from the original URL page.
• More keyword results are generated based on regularly updated usage statistics database. This helps you to get new keywords or phrases.

Guidebeam http://www.guidebeam.com/  is an interesting resource. Type in a phrase and it will suggest a large number of related searches. The numbers generated against each phrase are Guidebeam's estimation of how relevant that phrase is.

These softwares are useful for researching how people search the web and then optimizing your own web pages so that more people find your web site.

Google Adsense: Where to Place Ads on Your Web Pages

Google Adsense: Where to Place Ads on Your Web Pages and a Profile of Bloggerparty.com

Deciding Where to Place Your Google Ads on Your Web Pages so That They Will Be Most Profitable

This is one of the best parts of the whole Google Adsense experience. No one else gets to make this decision except you.  It’s your page.  You get to decide how many ( up to 3 ads per page), what colors and shapes you will use and on what part of the page the ad will be placed.  Should you place your ads at the top or bottom?  In the middle of the text?  To the left or right?

The most important decision should be based on the needs of the visitors to your site?  What are they looking for? Are they there to read or merely to browse.  If they are there to read an entire article, say, you might try placing your ads at the bottom of the page so they will have something to do next.  Some publishers swear by placing the ads at the top left of the page because they think customers look there first.

The fun thing is experimenting with all the possibilities.  Try different ad locations and different colors for a week and note the differences in your reports.  When you hit on something successful, you’ll see the difference.

Profile of Bloggerparty.com For Those Who May Want To Use it For Google Ads

Blogger Party is another blog hosting website where you can make money with Google Adsense.  You create an account and use the publisher id you got when you created your Google Adsense account.  If you have not done that yet, that is the first step to making money with your blogs.

At bloggerparty.com,  targeted Google Adsense ads will be displayed on your blog pages.  Fifty percent of that time, the ads will have your Google Adsense publishers ID and the other fifty percent of the time they will have Blogger Party’s Adsense ID or split between them and the person who referred you.  That’s right, referrals get 25% of the ad time, which comes out of Blogger Party’s share and not the original blogger’s or the referral’s.

Blogger Party promises “party points” any time you write something or comment on someone else’s blog.  They don’t do anything as yet, but later you will be able to trade them in for prizes according to Blogger Party’s admin.

Google Adsense: Understanding Image Ads and Making Google Adsense Dollars

Google Adsense: Understanding Image Ads and Making Google Adsense Dollars with Writingup.com

What are image ads?

Image ads are graphical ads.  Unlike traditional banner ads, image ads are also targeted to the appropriate audience, just like text ads.  A publisher that has a combination of image ads and text ads has a greater revenue generating potential.

Image ads are only for Adsense for Content pages and not available for Adsense for Search results pages.

There are 5 major formats of image ads.  The Leaderboard, which is about twice the size of a banner ad, the banner image ad, the skyscraper, the wide skyscraper and the medium rectangle. Google’s technology determines on a page by page basis whether image ads, text ads, or a combination of both will make you more money and then delivers the appropriate format.

You can choose to run only image ads, but Google recommends selecting both, thereby giving them a better chance to target the right advertising for your page, generating more revenue for you.

Bottom line: taking these two methods together will give you the best chance at making the most revenue.

How to Make Google Adsense Dollars at Writingup.com


To get started blogging at writingup.com, first you’ll need to create a Google Adsense account.  If you’ve already done that, you’ll just give them the same publisher id you got when you  originally signed up with Google Adsense.  Since you can only have one Google Adsense account, you will always use the same publisher id on every site you add.  Next, you’ll create an account at writingup.com and within minutes, start blogging!

You still have to follow the Google Adsense rules as to the type of content not acceptable but other than that you have carte blanche as to what to write about in your blog.  Paste your writingup.com URL into your email signature and every time you send someone an email, you will be referring them to your blog, thus increasing your traffic on writingup.com.

Comment on other publisher’s blogs.  If you interact with the blogging community, you are more likely to have your blog read more often.  Again, traffic.

Writingup.com has a list of successful topics you can write about.  You don’t have to choose from that list of course, but it’s quite extensive and if you look it over, you’ll probably find something that interests you.  They are successful topics because they turn up in search engines a lot.  More traffic.

Google Adsense: How to Write Great Blogs and Watch Your Adsense Dollars Add Up

Google Adsense: How to Write Great Blogs and Watch Your Adsense Dollars Add Up

The best thing about blogging is that there are no rules.  You can write about anything you want.  A self-publisher’s dream!   There are some things you can do though to maximize your Google Adsense profits.  Narrow your subject.  Don’t just write about shopping.  Write about shopping for antique dresser drawer pulls.  Write every day. Have a blog at more than one site. If you develop a readership, you’re more likely to increase your profits.

Write about something you know or want to know or at the very least care about. If you try to write a great blog based on a “hot keyword” yet it’s something you could care less about, you’ll likely not stay with it long. Experiment and see what works for you. You can write based on your own opinion or something factual. You can review a product or service or a movie.  Read other people’s blogs and notice how many reads they’re getting.  Above all, have fun.  After all, it’s free and if you’re persistent you’ll see your Google Adsense dollars adding up.
