Multi-national companies need not restrict their options and allow many customer service functions and jobs to be performed solely in their home countries. A number of key company services, more importantly customer relations tasks and services can be outsourced to other countries, provided that these multi-national companies can find a viable and an excellent BPO provider. One such country that can prove its mettle when it comes to these services is the Philippines.

WordPress SEO: Updating Permalink Structure
From the recent WordCamp Philippines 2008, I preferred attending the WordPress & SEO lecture by Hans Koch. He pointed out good notes to write down about some of the best seo-related plugins, and other aspects of seo that you can work with wordpress but he did miss something, that is working with the permalink structure.
I have checked a number blogs earlier and found out that most of them don’t care of the permalinks issue. If you’ll notice, wordpress permalink by default shows a question mark and numbers in it, obviously not search engine friendly. You can customize this by going to Dashboard > Settings > Permalinks section of your wordpress powered blog. You’ll see five options there for your permalink:
URL Rewriting: Redirecting To A Single Domain
I personally prefer to have a single domain name and will do redirect 301 response header all the others, in maximizing my page ranking.
Well, to make it simple, the whole idea here is to take a domain like http://kontrapelo.com and redirect it to http://www.kontrapelo.com consolidating all incoming links to a single domain, wether they use “www” or not.
Here’s a simple mod_rewrite rule you can add to .htaccess to accomplish this, put it above any other rewrite rules that you are using, you may want the other rules to apply to the www. domain after the initial redirect.
Google Buying Digg
Rumors have been flowing the past months about a negotiation between Google and Digg. The two companies reportedly signed a letter of intent nearing a deal of around $200million which will put Digg under the Google News property.
I wonder where Microsoft will be placed after this sale, if you don’t know yet, Digg has a 3-year ad arrangement
with them.
Digg has been popular for its voting concept that fascinated Google.
