Did you find this SEO blog post via a Google search?
Yes, my SEO strategies and techniques really work.
Keep reading to find out how to do SEO like a PRO.
SEO (or Search Engine Optimization) is probably the most important competitive digital marketing advantage that you can have over your competition.
Ranking high for your target keywords not only puts you in the spotlight but also can help you steal business from your competition.
In this day and age, if you rank anything past the first page on Google you will barely get any traffic so you need to work on your Search Engine Optimization game if you're serious about your online presence.
I've been doing SEO for the last 6 years, and throughout those years, I've tried to consume all the information about SEO that I could get my hands on. This blog post is all that information plus new ranking techniques that work will work in 2019, in a neat tutorial.
I guarantee that even if you're experienced with SEO, you will find a trick or two in this post that will help your blog or wordpress site climb higher on Google.
This is a No-BS SEO tips guide where I will not only teach you the techniques but will also link you to plugins, tools and tutorials to implement them. This guide is meant for beginners and advanced SEOers.
Most of the strategies I list here use WordPress plugins but this guide is not limited to WordPress. The principles work for Shopify stores, Woocommerce, Blogger and self-hosted sites. It even works for YouTube SEO.
Every time I used a list I have ranked the steps to take in terms of easiness over ROI, i.e. the first items in each actionable list will bring you the most results.
You should work along each step without skipping anything if you truly want to achieve the results and improve your SEO. Therefore, bookmark this page and keep coming back to it until you're finished with the tutorial.
Let's start from the top.
1) SEO basics
Definition of SEO
SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization, which is a way to reverse-engineer how a Search Engine (Google) works in order to rank higher in the Search Engine Results Page (SERPs).
By having a strong SEO, a website owner can get free organic traffic that otherwise he or she would have to pay for (e.g. via Google PPC Adwords). Easier said than done, ranking on the first page of Google is both a science and an art.
I wrote another post that goes in a little more depth about what SEO is.
Which factors affect SEO?
SEO is affected by a multitude of factors such as the authority of your root domain (pijib.com), your subdomain (blog.pijib.com) and the authority of the url itself ( https://jobsnearmeparttime.com/seo/pijib-best-seo-backlink-list/ )
Also Google takes thousands of other cues when it comes to ranking your site, such as time on site, bounce rate, social shares and more.
Remember, the goal of Google is to show visitors the best information within the first few results, so their algorithms must analyze a lot of factors to achieve that.
We can subdivide these SEO ranking factors into two sections: On-Page and Off-Page SEO.

Master These 8 On-page SEO Factors and Crush Google Rankings
On-page SEO refers to any optimization that you can do to the structure of your site itself. Here are the most important aspects:
- Fix all your meta tags. Install Yoast SEO and make sure all your blog posts have a green light. Make sure to fill in a keyword rich title and description. You can find very valuable and highly-converting keywords by looking at the Google Adwords being displayed when you search for your keyword. Here's an example of what shows up when I search "digital marketing".
- To increase the CTR of your page, add any of these proven keywords to the title and description of your post: Today, Right Now, Fast, Step-by-Step, Simple, Guide. Also add numbers, i.e. "22 Marketing Techniques You Must Try Today". Having a high CTR will bump your page towards the top of the results.
- Use descriptive and straightforward URLS.
- Link to authority sites. Various studies show that linking to high domain authority sites like Wikipedia or Harvard can increase your Google rankings. Make sure you include at least 3-4 outbound links on each post.
- Site speed is important. Google has indicated in their webmaster's blog that page load time is one of the signals they look at when evaluating your site: "Faster sites create happy users and we've seen in our internal studies that when a site responds slowly, visitors spend less time there."
Here is what you can do to improve your site speed
- If you're using WordPress,
- Install WP Super Cache (easy to use, less control) or W3 Total Cache (more control, harder to use)
- Install Ewww Image Optimizer or Shortpixels to reduce your image sizes.
- Otherwise, you will need to do the following
- Compress your HTML, JS, and CSS files via Gzip (Don't do images)
- Use a content distribution network (CDN) like Amazon Cloudfront. (A CDN is a network of servers located all over the world all of which contain copies of your site. Using a CDN, you can distribute the load of serving your pages so that your sites can load faster.)
- Use Photoshop to optimize your images for web.
- If you're using WordPress,
- (Must have) Get an SSL certificate (i.e. https). This will make your site more "legit" but also will also give you a boost in the search results. Read the official announcement about SSL by Google.
- Learn how to create the perfect SEO article or hire me to write a perfect article of 2000+ words for $500. By perfect I not only mean SEO-wise but also content-wise such as this article, so you keep people on your site and also generate business from it. Send me a topic via email and I'll write something for you.
- Add multimedia to your posts (i.e. images and videos). That will make your site more useful to the user and will also make them spend more time on it.
- (Bonus) Read my in-depth article that covers all the on-page SEO factors.
In short, make sure your User Experience (UX) is top-notch.
After you've cleared out your on-page SEO…
Don't Forget These 3 Equally Important Off-Page SEO Factors
Here are some key factors that most people miss when it comes to off-page SEO:
- You need tons of Social Signals. Yes, Google DOES care about how much social traffic and shares your article gets. Here are some ideas to boost that.
- Join a lot (and I mean a lot) of Facebook Groups in your niche. Post to all those groups every time you create a new post, and repost every 2-3 months. This will increase your traffic like crazy, not to mention that each share, like, and comment adds to your social score.
- As you can imagine, you would need to spend a lot of time posting to 100s of Facebook groups every time you wanted to promote an article. If you have been reading my articles, you know how much I hate doing repetitive tasks, so I suggest to hire a Virtual Assistant on Fiverr to help you increase your productivity.
- It's never too early (or too late) to build Press and Powerful backlinks from high authority sites. Here quality trumps quantity, although quantity shouldn't be overlooked. A shout out from Forbes is worth a lot more than 100 lower-tier sites, but the lower-tier sites can help you achieve good backlink volume. Here's how to get all those backlinks.
- Reach out to other bloggers and writers to see if they want to cover your story. My most effective way to reach out is via Facebook Messenger or Twitter (in that order), email requests usually hit the spam folder but a carefully crafted A/B testing campaign will yield you good results. You can also use AuthoritySpy to find the movers and shakers in your industry.
- Build relationships with writers in your space so that they cover you not just once but multiple times. Provide value first before asking for anything. A good way to build a relationship is to feature them first on your blog by accepting a guest post from them.
- I can help you with more quality backlinks. For starters, if you want to guest post on my sites, by all means message me with a couple sample writings and ideas.
- Build a Brand. Building a brand will help you get even more traffic over time. When you see a results that shows NYTimes and OnlineNewsNet, which one are you more likely to click? Exactly.
2) Forget Search Engine Optimization, it's now time for Search Engine DOMINATION
Now that we've covered the basics of Search Engine Optimization, it is time to talk about Search Engine Domination.
With the introduction of Rankbrain, coming up first on Google really requires 2 major activities.
To dominate the results you need two things: Superb Content + High Quality Backlinks.
Let's first dive into content.
How long should your article be to rank on the first page?
Generally, long content will out-seo any other short form.
In a study done of over a million of blog posts, researchers found that the ideal length of a blog post is 1900+ words as shown in this graphic:
300 word blog posts won't cut it in the long term for the following reason: people will only click on your site, read the article in 30 seconds and leave, without giving you the opportunity to convert that click into a client.
Also, long posts will naturally contain a healthy sprinkle of keywords throughout the text instead of a jam-packed 300-word article in which 50 of the words are just your target keywords.
- Notice the structure of this blog post. See how I naturally included multiple variations of the keywords (called LSI keywords) that I am looking to target "how to do seo", "seo tips and techniques", "search engine optimization wordpress
More importantly, long content will increase the time on site (also known as dwell time) that someone spends on your site, which is a key metric when it comes to rankings.
The general strategy to write a blog post is to create one that adds value (just like this one, I hope). This naturally leads you to write extensive content. This blog post for instance is ~3600 words.
You must aim to write the best article ever written on the topic that you chose. The easiest way is to search for a keyword and condense the top 10 search results. For more info, check out this Skyscraper Technique by Brian Dean.
Now that we got content out of the way. We need to focus on backlinks.
Backlinks are the holy grail of SEO
Let me say that again. Backlinks are the holy grail of SEO.
How do you get backlinks?
- You can check the backlink profile of your competitors page by copying and pasting the link into Ahrefs or SEMrush, from there you can go to each of the sites that are linking to them and try to get a backlink to your site.
- You can write guest posts and go on podcasts.
If you follow these two white hat SEO strategies (great content and solid backlinks) you can be sure your site will be safe of any Hummingbird, Penguin, Panda or Fred updates.
Which tools do you use to do SEO research?
As evidenced throughout this SEO blog post, I am a big fan of tools and scripts to make my life easier.
I have probably tested more than 30 tools over the years.
Here are my personal favorites to outrank my competitors. You can also read my full list of SEO tools.
- (paid) Ahrefs. This tool will allow you to spy on your competitors backlinks and do advanced Keyword Research. I have the Lite plan for $100/mo.
- (paid) SEMRush. Similar to Ahrefs but now recently launched a beta version of a content optimizer that I really like. I am on the free trial.
- (free) Google Keyword Planner. You can use the Keyword Planner to see the search volume and difficulty of a particular set of keywords.
- (free) Keywords Everywhere. I love that I can see information about volume, CPC and competition on every Google search I make.
- (paid) Backlinksindexer. To index all the backlinks that you create. I pay $10/mo.
- (free) SEOQuake. Shows great insights underneath each search result.
Nice to have:
- (free) Alexa Toolbar. Although the Alexa Rank of a site has nothing to do with its SEO, I still find it valuable to understand what kind of traffic my sites and competitors sites are getting and where it is coming from.
- (free) The Moz Toolbar, which helps me look at various metrics of a page (such as its domain authority) at a quick glance.
- (free) the brand new Chrome Extension SEO Minion, which will help you analyze the on-page SEO health of any site.
So what's my exact step-by-step SEO strategy to optimize my site?
I work with clients from various industries from bitcoin to law to biotech and consumer electronics. (Want to work with me? Find out how.)
While each and every client has a different goal, the SEO ranking principles are the exact same.
This is the blueprint I follow for each website I optimize:
1. Define your content strategy
There is no point in ranking high if that blog post is not allowing you to forge a relationship with your readers, earn more Adsense Revenue or generate business for you.
Thus, the first step in writing is determining what you want to achieve with your post. Are you writing to generate leads? Collecting sign-ups? Do you want to be perceived as an industry leader?
The goal of your content strategy will largely determine how you will structure your blog post.
For instance, if you want to be a thought leader then you need a long post, to collect sign ups you need an easier to follow funnel with reviews (and ideally a video at the top of the page).
2. Define the content topic
After you have defined your content strategy, think about what keywords and information your readers will find valuable.
If you're writing about diet and weight loss with the hopes of selling your program to your subscribers, you want to create a relationship with your readers throughout a series of posts that inform the reader and that set you apart as a thought leader or expert in that field.
You might even want to build an email list and then sell your products by means of email marketing.
3. Find the right keywords to target
Ranking for "seo" is hard. Ranking for "seo tips" is a bit easier (medium tail keyword).
How do you do proper keyword research?
You can use multiple tools to find the keywords with the perfect balance of difficulty and search volume.
In Ahrefs, you can go to Keyword Research and type in a few of the keywords that relate to the blog post that you are looking to write.
After their algorithm runs, you will be presented with the stats for your keywords plus other keywords that you should consider.
Once you have 3 or 4 keywords identified, I get to writing.
(in my case "best seo tips", "seo optimization tips", "wordpress seo tips")
Another method to find keywords is using the Search Console
Did you know that the answer to ranking #1 has been given to you by Google?
Yes, it is just hidden under your Search Console.
If you jump to Search Analytics, you can see valuable data like keywords that you already rank for. I suggest you install the Keywords Everywhere Chrome plugin to see information like Monthly Volume, CPC and Competition.
Sometimes it is easier to optimize and update your old blog posts than writing a new one. (For instance, I constantly update this particular post to include information that I might have missed).
When I want to update my posts, I grab all the keywords that each post ranks for, put them into a Google doc and then sort them by either Volume or Competition and then see if there are any content holes I could fix. (For instance, this article was lacking a section about "keyword research" so I added it in).
4. Write the perfect content that SEOs almost naturally
I already mentioned that you should think about 2000 word posts or longer.
Here's how you can write on of those monster posts with the least amount of effort and time spent.
First, I search the keywords found in step 3 and see what the top rankers are writing about and see if they are mentioning something I don't already know. From there, I structure my post simply by headers.
After the keywords are strategically placed in the H2 headers, the paragraphs pretty much write themselves. Don't forget to include images, videos and any other interactive multimedia.
Once the blog post is drafted up, it's time for an SEO check via Yoast (WordPress Plugin). On the focus keyword, I pick the keyword with the highest volume from the 3-4 target keywords.
I hit Publish and then I pray and hope it ranks.
No, of course not. That's just the beginning the secret of ranking is what comes after.
5. The half-automatic, half-manual way of ranking the content
You wouldn't want all the hard work of writing the perfect blog post to just go to waste, right?
A blog post is only valuable if it ranks on the first page, otherwise it really doesn't matter. Period.
Here are few things I do to rank such content:
- The obvious and easy one: share on all my social media accounts. Here's the trick to automate all that: Use IFTTT and connect WordPress with all your accounts. That way you spend 10 min setting all up, and never have to worry about it again. (This also builds your those golden social signals that I talked about earlier).
- Syndicate my content to Thrive Global automatically using the Medium plugin on WordPress (with the "canonical" tag, of course.)
- I already have a network of bloggers that I curated that will reference my content and share it, creating the necessary backlinks to help me rank higher.
Another big bonus: build a reputation
When you become the authority in your niche, you will notice that ranking your content is much easier.
This is due to the fact that Google is now using humans to manually evaluate sites.
If you can position yourself as the expert, you will crush the Google SERPs.
Here's how you can boost your personal brand:
- Have an about page that explains why you are an expert in the topic that you are writing about.
- Go on Podcasts, do Youtube videos, win awards that give you more credibility.
- Get quoted on many sites as the subject matter expert
That's all. I just described the step-by-step white-hat SEO strategy that I use for my own sites and for my clients. Hopefully, you found it valuable and you act on this today.
Whatever you do, make sure you don't fall in the trap and start doing some black-hat SEO techniques like cloaking or spammy backlink building, it can get you seriously penalized by Google. Plus, your high rankings will only be short-lived.

Pedal Power for Greece
Tuesday, 14 August 2012
Maybe they're inspired by the heroics of the London 2012 cyclists – Greece is the home of the Olympics, after all – or perhaps in difficult economic times they just appreciate bikes as a cheap mode of travel. Whatever the reason, our Greek customers seem to have gone cycling mad.
Over the last month, here at forward2me we've seen large numbers of bikes coming into our depot, many of them bound for Greece. All sorts of cycles have been going through here, from your regular two-wheeler to the latest power-assisted machine.
One Greek customer had several sent in one shipment. As you can imagine, that makes for quite a large 'package', although fortunately they can be transported by our European road service which helps to minimise shipping costs.
Here in the UK, we've all suddenly become armchair cycling enthusiasts thanks to the Olympic medal successes of our Team GB riders. Not sure how many will actually take to the saddle, though: we have a sneaking suspicion that Greece's weather is better suited to cycling than ours!

Nearly 2,500 media and communication professionals from around the world gathered at the World Conference Center in Bonn, Germany from 30 June-2 July for the Deutsche Welle's annual Global Media Forum.
This year's conference, "From Information to Participation: Challenges for the Media," featured panels and workshops focused on practical approaches to adjusting industry standards and practices to meet the needs of an increasingly global audience and market.
Participants listen in on the Global Media Forum's opening panel.
Speakers including the Deutsche Welle's Director General Peter Limbourg, the Council of Europe's Secretary General Thorbjørn Jagland, and Egypt's Jon Stewart-like comedian Bassem Youssef kicked off the event.
But before the conference kickoff, Ashoka, a global network of social innovators, gathered together its journalism and media fellows for a intensive, two-day summit—the Globalizer. The intimate setting provided a focused atmosphere in which the fellows were able to discuss ideas, tools, and strategies and for improving their respective participative journalism projects.
"Social innovation in journalism and the news media is especially important as information access is rapidly opening up, creating a great potential for participation, social impact, and the eventual solution of the world's most pressing problems," Michael Vollman, Ashoka Globalizer co-director, said.
Through its Globalizer Summits, Ashoka offers a platform for accelerated growth, where a select group of leading entrepreneurs from the private and social sectors, along with members of Ashoka's Global Academy, support each participating fellow in intensive 'accelerator panels' focused on scaling social impact.
"The summits not only provide fellows with high-quality strategic advice and the opportunity to make important contacts and find new partners, but they also serve as a way to build a community of practice around scaling social impact with the potential to inspire more changemakers around the globe," Lea-Kristin Martin, a consultant at Ashoka Globalizer, said.
Having attended last year's Globalizer and Global Media Forum, Jeremy Druker, a four-year Ashoka fellow and executive director of Transitions, made the trip to Bonn from Prague again this year. Transitions, a Czech-based news magazine and media development NGO, works to train journalists from across the post-communist region of Europe and Eurasia. The organization is now preparing to launch its first global project, Media Defender, a crowdfunding platform to support reporters working in countries with a partially free or unfree press.
"The Globalizer was a great way to get out of our "box" and receive fresh feedback from outside experts, and you couldn't find a better event than the GMF to find partners from all over the world for Media Defender, Druker said."
The Media Defender team meets with media expert Jerry Timmins at the Globalizer.
After an energizing series of brainstorming and strategizing sessions, the Ashoka fellows went on to partake in the three-day Global Media Forum program.
"Regarding the forum itself, it was inspiring to attend some of the panel discussions. I especially enjoyed a panel on social media activism, which featured an Egyptian woman who played a key role in the Arab Spring," Druker said.
The forum participants were free to attend any of the offered panels and workshops. Topics of discussion included social vs. traditional media, 'slacktivism' vs. activism, civil society and media collaboration, community building and user engagement, citizen journalism, freedom of information and source protection, and other topics regarding roles of the media as catalysts for social and political change.
Deutsche Welle hosted two evening receptions and a Rhine river cruise to provide participants more informal opportunities to meet each other and share ideas.
"On the lighter side, all of us appreciated the willingness of the organizers to keep the drinks flowing and the TV screens on for the World Cup, even late into the night, creating a memorable atmosphere," Druker said.

Our call to ministry as followers of Jesus begins with baptism.
We are first to take seriously the call to live out our baptismal vows before discernment to ordained ministry can effectively begin. That's what the "now" means in the examination of one to be ordained a deacon or priest: "God now calls you . . ."
If you believe that God may be calling you to ordained ministry, the first step is to pray and to talk to others about how they see God working in your life and your existing ministry. And speak with the priest in charge of your congregation or community of faith.
If, after a significant period of time of conversation with your priest, she or he agrees that further exploration of the ordained ministry is a good next step for you, you would then attend the annual Explorers' Retreat. It is held on a Saturday in January or February at the Procter Center. In the Diocese of Southern Ohio, the Explorer's Retreat is the entry point for the formal discernment process for ordained ministry.

BT has reported over 60,000 TV customers with YouView connected TV boxes and revealed it signed up 21,000 BT Vision customers in the quarter to the end of December. It ended its fiscal third quarter with 770,000 BT Vision customers ahead of its big summer push for subscribers following its acquisition of Premier League football matches for the 2013/2014 season.
BT added 122,000 retail broadband customers in the quarter, and added 200,000 customers to its high-speed fibre offering. The company's retail division posted revenues of £1.8 billion (€2.2bn) for the quarter, down 3 per cent, and EBITDA of £474 million, an increase of 5 per cent.
Ian Livingston, Chief Executive, commenting on the results, said: "Our fibre plans are helping to make the UK a broadband leader in Europe. More than 13 million premises can access our fibre broadband and we are passing around 100,000 additional premises every week. Take-up is growing strongly with around 1.25 million homes and businesses now enjoying the benefits of faster speeds. This gives us an excellent platform for our push into TV and Sport later this year. Our pre-season training is going well. We have secured attractive new content and world class production facilities at the Olympic Park and are building a strong team.
"Our engineers have worked tirelessly following some of the wettest weather on record. Not only did they complete a record number of field visits in the quarter, they also connected a further 281,000 homes and businesses to broadband and helped us grow the number of landlines. BT Global Services has also done well securing £1.9 billion of new orders, up 17 per cent.
"We have made progress in a number of areas and delivered solid financial results. These are in line with our expectations for the year, which remain unchanged."

Originally from an East Asian country, Andrew came to faith through Middle East Student Fellowship and now serves with them on full-time staff. He shares the gospel and studies the Bible with students on campus, and leads a team of other MESF staff in his region.
Testimony of Conversion
I'm originally from an East Asian country but I've lived the majority of my life in the MENA. Although I grew up going to church, leading worship and helping facilitate youth ministry-related activities, the Gospel was foreign to me and I assumed I was a Christian.
Towards the end of my second year of university here, I came into contact with a staff-worker from the Middle East Student Fellowship on my campus. I was struck by two things. The first was that though he was from a completely different ethnic background, he was interested in spending his time with me. He would meet with me weekly, taking me through the Bible and asking me intentional questions about what I believed about Jesus. I thought he was like a broken record, repeating at the end of each bible discussion each week about man's need for a Savior because of his rebellion against a Holy God.
The second thing that struck me was that there was an unofficial university bible discussion being lead by students near my campus. Since it is a Muslim country, the university would not approve an official Christian club. The gatherings happened at a location nearby. People from different countries and faith backgrounds (including atheists) were in attendance too.
It wasn't until the following year at a retreat held by the Middle East Student Fellowship that my sin against a Holy God became apparent to me. For the first time in my life I saw my need for a Savior, and that loving Savior is Jesus. It weighed on my heart that He died in my place on that cross so I could be forgiven for my rebellion against God!
I now serve full-time with the Middle East Student Fellowship. My work involves sharing the gospel and studying the Bible with students. I'm excited to be used by God to bring people from darkness into the kingdom of His Son. I love seeing people's lives change through the gospel. A lot of the campuses I work on are difficult because it's closed to those from the outside. Nevertheless, God is bringing students from those campuses to us who are interested to hear the gospel. Pray that God would bring many from those campuses to Christ!

If the art of comedy is, as is so often claimed, timing, then perhaps Marcus Brigstocke allowed himself an extra special pat on the back for coinciding the second episode of his current Radio 4 series The Brig Society with the 65th anniversary of the NHS. The "big idea" behind the show, in case you haven't yet been subjected to it, is that every week Marcus will find himself put in "charge of a thing" – it could be fashion, could be a prison or the railways. This week it was a hospital.
The object of the supposedly satirical exercise is that Brigstocke, 40, will go on a learning curve during the course of his in-at-the-deep-end experience (which isn't in fact an "experience", but a scripted performance conducted in front of a frightfully amenable and laugh-ready studio audience). Having anticipated that whatever his task involves "can't be that difficult", he will discover: "Oh - turns out it's utterly difficult and complicated. Who knew?"
What Marcus is doing, you see, is affecting a layman ignorance (although the shot of him on the related BBC web-page shows him pulling a face so imbecilic as to look like the sort of thing that's been banned in playgrounds). That ignorance will be over-turned by the evidence he "unearths", and hey-presto a whole bevy of moronic assumptions will be trounced. It's not his stupidity that's the issue, of course, it's the stupidity of other people.
If that sounds like a skewed reading of what he's up to you only need to listen to Hospital to glean how patronising is its premise. In fact, the whole 30-minute episode succeeds in being not a winning, roundabout tribute to the glory of the NHS but a text-book example of the kind of noxious lefty bias the BBC has only this week found itself culpable of in the vexed area of immigration coverage.
The tone of sardonic, smug, self-righteous preachiness – usually kept in check on his happily contained sometimes pithily amusing turns on The Now Show – is there in earnest from the outset. "We're all in this together," posh-boy Brigstock sneers – "so said George Osborne to the rest of the people in his Jacuzzi full of champagne."
Within three minutes, he has taken a pop at the Daily Mail for being, one infers, racist – before revealing "they've put me in charge of a hospital". It's going to be OK, he reveals, even though he's got rid of those pointless manager folk. "As long as no one else in the UK gets ill for the next four years we should be ready to be either shut down or sold to a private firm, because if there's one thing ill people like it's competition on the open market. You ask any ill person and they'll usually say. 'I would love to get better, sure, but mostly I want to see privatised health providers benefiting from my illness.' "
Yup, that's the level it works at – little short of a licence-fee funded attack on Coalition policy and an ill-disguised rant against anyone so rash as to want to reform the NHS, damning reports into and criticisms of which he studiously avoids. By laughable way of balance, he offers: "Perhaps private enterprise will prove hugely beneficial for the NHS... take some of the fat off it, nibbling away at the excess... slimming it down from within – like a tapeworm does."
By the time Brigstocke had started conjecturing about a hospital run along the lines of a no-frills airline, I'd almost lost the will to live but on and on he droned, with all the subtlety of a first-time student union debater. "Anyone sensible enough to listen to UKIP, Migration Watch and a bloke called Terry down the pub already knows for certain that on a Wednesday afternoon in late 2013 at around 4.30 the entire populations of Bulgaria and Romania will arrive at a hospital near where you live" etc. "These are facts people and if you don't believe me look in the Spectator." Right-on there, Marcus.
Laying aside his bizarre attempt to wave away concerns about health tourism as only 0.15 per cent of the total NHS budget – "not such a big deal" – the moment when I began shrieking at the radio begging to be put out of my misery came with the sermon-like wrap-up. "You need to put back the administrators – and stop pissing about with the system… We have strong opinions on healthcare because it affects almost all of us," he advised piously.
Oh, please, pass the sick-bag, nurse. This isn't satire, it's drivelling propaganda and the Beeb should have been ashamed to broadcast it.

...Immediate family members include (whether by birth, adoption, marriage or Domestic Partnership or Civil Union, if recognized by your state or other local law) your spouse, children, parents, siblings, mothers and fathers-in-law, sons and daughters-in-law and brothers and sisters-in-law...The nation's largest employer does not say that because these fall under the you-can't-do-any-of-this rules that they'll be included in benefits. However, it seems headed in that direction.
A report on the matter in Bay Windows newspaper suggests that this may become company policy. "I'm cautiously optimistic that the policy will apply to benefits in some states," it quotes Daryl Herrshchaft, deputy director of the Human Rights Campaign, as saying. Wal-Mart spokesman Dan Fogelman commented that the company insures Massachusetts employees under HMOs. It is bound by state law, including covering same-sex spouses.

Civilizations are not set in stone. You can't just do all the hard work in the beginning then expect your culture to stand the test of time, unchallenged. It's not like that in the real world – or in Civilization games. The expansion we're announcing today, Civilization VI: Rise and Fall, adds new dynamic layers onto the game you've already been enjoying. On February 8th 2018, you will lead nations to golden ages. You will watch others buckle under their own weight. You will earn – or lose – the loyalty of your people. The question is, "How will you be remembered?"
I'm Anton Strenger, Lead Designer for Civilization VI: Rise and Fall, and today we're revealing some of the big changes coming with this huge Civilization VI expansion. The biggest, over-arching goal: dynamic empires. Civilizations will rise and fall through the course of the game (as you probably figured out from the title). Borders will ebb and flow. Cities will change their loyalties.
As a secondary goal, Civilization VI: Rise and Fall includes more storytelling elements – Historic Moments – that highlight the interesting turning points in your civilizations. These events happen every time you play, making playthroughs unique, while also giving them meaning in the mechanics.
Golden and Dark Ages are among the new events that can shift the course of your game's history. They are significant, but temporary, changes to a civilization that last for an Era. They will open up new opportunities for players to change their strategies, and change the state of the game between the player and their rivals. Having a Golden Age affords huge bonuses to Loyalty and other game systems, but makes earning future Golden Ages slightly more difficult.
Having a Dark Age hurts Loyalty in your cities and makes you vulnerable, but gives you an opportunity to earn a future Golden Age more easily. It also allows the use of special Dark Age policies and opens the door for an even more powerful Heroic Age. Think of it this way: While a Golden Age provides one Dedication bonus (a powerful Golden Age effect), being in a Heroic Age lets the player earn three Dedication bonuses (making it sort of a "triple" Golden Age).
In the Civilization VI base game, we have the idea of a "player era" – how far a player has advanced on their tech or civics tree. In this expansion, systems are very much tied to the idea of the "game era," which is determined by individual player advancement and a few other behind-the-scenes adjustments. Think of these game eras like chapters in a book. Each has its own arc, and its own small ending, but leaves you wanting to discover the rest of the story by continuing to the next chapter. When you enter a new game era you may earn a Golden Age or a Dark Age. Which one you get is determined by your Era Score in the previous game era, a score that is increased by fulfilling certain objectives.
So while your neighbor may have been in a Golden Age last era, they may enter a Dark Age this era, opening up an opportunity for you to change your strategy. The key effect of Golden and Dark Ages: they change the Loyalty of a player's cities. As Ages change and weak spots are exposed in empires, cities can declare independence and even change hands to new owners.
The stakes of the new Loyalty system are huge because, at the extremes, it can flip control of entire cities to different players without military force. Low Loyalty in a city puts it at risk of rebelling and becoming a Free City. That, in turn, makes it a juicy target for other players looking to expand their own empire. Keeping your cities loyal not only keeps it on your side, but also emanates its Loyalty as a kind of "peer pressure" to other cities nearby. You could even sway cities from other civilizations to join you.
In previous Civilization games, there were ways to "Culture Flip" another player's city without military intervention. We felt it was time to reexamine this non-militaristic way to change borders, and expand territory.
Loyalty also changes the landscape and strategy around the map as the game continues. What could have been an unchanging border between two civilizations in the base game becomes a contentious battleground of loyalties in the expansion, especially when Golden Ages or Dark Ages are involved.
Golden Ages and Dark Ages are a kind of loyalty bomb. In the best-case scenarios, triggering a Golden Age makes all of your citizens a little bit more loyal. Also, other cities nearby see the appeal of that civilization and may waver in their Loyalty to their current owner. The quickest and most direct way to boost Loyalty, though, is to send a Governor to the city.
In previous versions of Civilization, "governor" often referred to the AI behavior you could set for a city to act on your behalf. In this expansion, though, they are the opposite. Sending a Governor to a city is a way for the player to make an active decision about the development of one of their cities, and grow in a specific direction. Much like how districts operate in the base game, Governors are a way to specialize your cities. The difference: Governors have their own set of unique powerful bonuses and can move between controlled cities.
During a game, players can earn up to seven Governors. Each Governor has a different skill tree of promotions. We bent a lot of existing game rules to give them the power to make a difference in your cities.
Here's how it works: You earn points (Governor Titles) through gameplay. Then you must choose whether to spend those points on appointing a new Governor or promoting an existing one. How you choose to manage your Governors will impact your overall strategy. Go wide by covering more cities, or go tall by promoting only a few powerful governors.
As for the Governors themselves, they have unique personalities – even before you start choosing which ones to upgrade. Some thrive in taking an already established city to the next level, building Wonders and powering up trade routes. Others are more suited to new cities that are constructing their first districts and claiming their first bits of land. One can be a savior during a city siege, and can make or break a city's defense against a powerful attacking army. Though normally Governors can only work in your own cities, there is one that can be assigned to city-states, affecting the Envoys you have there. That said, none of the Governors are easily distilled into a single function.
Alliances within Civilization VI already offered a lot, but this expansion adds more nuance. Alliances in the base game often boiled down to a sort of guarantee that the other player would not interfere with your strategy by attacking you, but only rarely did it offer tangible benefits. So for Civilization VI: Rise and Fall we added more tangible incentives to Alliances. We're encouraging players to band together for mutual benefit rather than merely non-interference. We're also giving players more active and flavorful choices to make. Alliances now have a type – Research, Military, Economic, Cultural, or Religious – that determines their benefits. Moreover, as the Alliance continues, the Alliance itself levels up and unlocks more powerful bonuses. This encourages players to think in the long term and to invest in diplomacy.
Let me give you an example of how an Alliance can evolve over time, specifically a Research Alliance. At Level 1, both allies receive Science bonuses to their Trade Routes. But as the Alliance develops, powerful and unique effects come into play. At Level 2, both allies still receive their Science bonuses, but also receive 1 Tech Boost at a regular interval. Level 3 is all of the above, plus bonus Science when researching the same Technology, or a Technology your ally had already researched. These alliances are powerful enough that players are restricted to just one Alliance of each type at a time. But you and your Alliance partner can agree to change the type of your Alliance later in the game.
Emergencies are new with Civilization VI: Rise and Fall. Most Emergencies get triggered when one player gets a significant lead or advantage in an area. Converting a Holy City to a different religion, or using a nuclear weapon, for example. When triggered, the game determines which other players can join in an Emergency against the target and each player can choose to join or pass. Joining can give permanent benefits, but only if the players are able to complete an Emergency-specific objective against the target in time, otherwise the target gets a benefit instead.
They are a sort of checks-and-balances system. You see, there is a delicate balance to strike – making the game more dynamic and also ensuring it stays fair for players who have developed a strong lead. We're adding challenges to players who'd get so far ahead of others that the game stagnated towards victory for them. We also did not want to artificially rubberband them down. Emergencies become a great way to attack this game-pacing problem. It also reveals the dynamic world stage for players that have more isolationist play styles. As Emergencies come up, they can be involved with them one way or another.
Fans of Civilization know that each game plays out in its own way, with its own unique story. With Civilization VI: Rise and Fall, we are bringing that story into the spotlight by adding more ways to track the progress of a player's civilization than ever before.
So as players progress in Civilization: Rise and Fall, they earn Historic Moments. These are mini-achievements for doing cool things in the world (and there are over 100 of them in the game right now). They include things like circumnavigating the world, training your unique unit, founding a religion, and building districts with high adjacency bonuses. Many grant an even bigger bonus if you're the "world's first" civilization to make the achievement. These Historic Moments, taken together, form a story for your game with unique details tailored to your empire.
Historic Moments are represented two ways. First, they increase your Era Score, helping you achieve a Golden Age. Second, they are added to your Timeline, which is a place in the UI that displays all your accomplishments in a game. This Timeline has tons of custom illustrations for each different moment, and is a very cool representation of your empire's history during your unique game. On a more practical note, it is also a useful way to remind yourself of what you have been up to if you return to a saved game after a few days away. Ultimately, the Timeline is a way to illustrate your story.
People often ask how we select new leaders and civilizations to include in expansions – and we have nine new leaders and eight new civilizations which will be revealed over the coming weeks with Civilization: Rise and Fall. Well, it is a collaborative process that involves the whole team from art and design to production and even our legal department. We also ask ourselves some core questions as we select potential leaders:
- "Is this region of the world represented?"
- "Is this time in history represented?"
- "Is this represented/revered in previous Civilization games or totally new?"
We strive to have a diverse and varied selection of leaders, and it is also very important to us to include female leaders. Women are often underrepresented in traditional historical accounts, and recent scholarship has revealed more and more the fascinating and powerful women that lived between the lines of history textbooks. We also look for leaders whose history makes them particularly well-suited for a bonus related to new expansion systems.
As for balancing and trying to minimize power creep among those new leaders, we take a holistic look at the state of the game and how our leaders, new and old, stack up in it. Our QA department regularly gives us their evaluations of who is on top and who is on bottom, in their estimations of strength. We look at fan evaluations and rankings in this process, as well. We are not afraid to go back to leaders we have already finalized and rework their bonus entirely – so keep telling us what you think about leaders. We are always listening.
This is just the start of what's coming in Civilization VI: Rise and Fall. We have lots more to share before this expansion releases on February 8, 2018 that we can't wait to tell you about – starting with all the new leaders and civilizations you'll get to rule.

Rosendal is a small picturesque town in the Eastern Free State. It is situated in a valley surrounded by the Witteberge that forms part of the Drakensberg range. The area is on average 2408m above sea level. Winters are bitterly cold with severe frost and occasional snowfalls. Summers are mild and cool with temperatures rarely above 30oC. Summer rainfall are normally high, and showers also occur during the winter months. The area is known for heavy rainfall, windy conditions, hail storms and fog.
The mountains add to the natural beauty of the area. Quite a few peaks can be seen from town, "Swartkrans" is the third highest peak in the Free State. The mountains were formed 2 million years ago with lava being deposited over the Tafelberg sandstone deposit. The lava is up to 500m thick in places. The lava is deposited in layers – evidence of eruptions taking place periodically. Rooikraans is an example of red Molento sandstone in the Tafelberg deposit. The deposits consist mainly of dolerites. The geological beauty of the mountains is one of the main attracWelcome to the Eastern Free State.

Tool locates all 'injected' DLLs in your system
A utility called InjectedDLL displays the list of DLLs that are automatically injected on every process in your system.
DLL injection may sound like a new medical procedure, but it's actually a way of attaching a dynamic link library, or DLL, to certain system actions in Windows. Many programs employ DLL injection to trap program functions that are not normally trapped by the system. It is used by many desktop utilities, debugging tools (such as Microsoft's Spy++ utility), and antivirus and firewall applications.
DLL injection has both legitimate and illegitimate uses. A macro recorder is one example of a legitimate DLL injection. But a key logger that's been installed without your (or your supervisor's) knowledge would be a problem. Because DLL injection isn't obvious—it doesn't usually show up as a process in the Task Manager—it can be hard to tell if injection is taking place, or how legitimate it might be.
Programmer Nir Sofer has written a tool, InjectedDLL, that takes a good deal of the mystery out of injected DLLs. Run it and you're presented with a report that lists all of the injected DLLs currently at work in the system: the image name, pathname and file attributes; a description (if available); any security-signing information; code revision; and so on.
The report can be saved as HTML or copied piecemeal or en masse to the clipboard. The program itself requires no installation -- it can be unpacked and run in any directory -- and there are translations available for several languages.
One quick way to tell if a given injected DLL is malicious or at least unwanted is to look at the company/product name signing. If there isn't one, or if it's a misspelling or variant on something else (such as "Micorsoft") there's a chance the DLL in question isn't legit.
Another interesting aspect of the program is that when it's first loaded, it forces a small window to open and then close directly under the cursor, which is attached to a process called dummywin.exe. This is deliberate. Some DLLs are only injected when the mouse cursor moves over a window, so this is a way to force that action to take place so the DLL in question will show up in the report. Note: On some particularly fast machines, the window may open and close too quickly for you to see.
