Principal Software Developer Panawe Batanado Shares Six Practical Tips for Getting the Most Out of an Old Computer

Originally published on minds.com

If your old computer is slowing down and no longer working as well, you may be tempted to buy a new one. However, new computers are expensive, so a better solution is to get the most you can out of your old computer before you move on. Here, principal software developer Panawe Batanado shares six tips on getting all you can out of your old computer.

1. Delete old files and useless software.

Computers, especially older models, only have so much space. Old files and programs may be slowing your computer down, so delete them to boost performance. Look through your computer for dated files and programs that you haven't used in a long time, and if you are unlikely to use an application again, get rid of it. That photo-editing program you haven't opened in years? It's only slowing your computer down. Delete it! If you have two programs with similar functions, choose one and get rid of the superfluous alternative.

2. Check for viruses.

The older your computer, the more likely it is to have picked up viruses or malware over the years. Viruses can cause all sorts of issues with your computer; one of the primary problems is simply slowing down. The inefficiency displayed by your computer may not actually be a result of age -- a virus could be the cause. Use an antivirus software to check your computer for viruses and malware and delete whatever malicious programs are discovered. Your computer will almost certainly improve in performance afterwards.

3. Use the 'cloud'.

The 'cloud' refers to the use of the internet--rather than your local machine--to perform normal computer functions. Moving operations from your computer to the cloud can free up space and boost functioning. Many sorts of files can be moved online; for example, there is no reason to keep a large number of photos on your hard drive. Put these photos on a photo-storage website instead. The cloud is actually more convenient than your computer, since the cloud allows you to access your files and data from any computer with an internet connection.

4. Add RAM.

Any application you run on your computer uses up RAM (random access memory), and insufficient RAM means your computer and programs will operate slowly. A simple solution is to buy more memory for your old computer since installing extra RAM is relatively easy. Of course, RAM will cost you some money, but not nearly as much as buying a whole new computer. For the boost in performance it can provide, RAM is cheap.

5. Multitask less.

Aged computers can't handle running multiple programs at once very well. Having a bunch of applications open at once may be convenient; however, it will degrade performance and make it more likely that your computer freezes. Aim to have only one or two applications open at a time. Some circumstances may demand that you have more programs operating, but otherwise, give your old computer as little to do as possible.

6. Update.

Software and operating systems both receive upgrades on a regular basis. If you're still running the same applications and operating system that was shipped with your computer, chances are newer versions have been made available. These versions of software will run better and function more efficiently, so check online to see if an application has received any upgrades. A new operating system will offer an even bigger boost to performance, though this option will cost more.

Just because your computer is old doesn't mean it's worthless. Most old computers have more life left in them than their owners would suspect. Simply follow Panawe Batanado’s expert advice above and see your computer's performance rebound. Getting everything you can out of your old machine is preferable to spending a huge sum on a brand new computer.

Panawe Batanado Weighs in on the Top Geotargeting Tools Every Web Developer Should Know

Originally published on wordpress.com

The Internet is a true global medium for communication and commerce, but it is also a deeply local one. With the local telephone directory quickly becoming a thing of the past, most customers now turn to the Internet when they need to find a plumber to unclog their sink or repair their broken furnace.

If you are a plumber or a heating contractor, you want your name to be the first one those eager customers see when they search for your services on Google or another search engine. That is what geotargeting is all about.

As the name suggests, geotargeting allows business owners to target their website visitors based on where they call home. This highly targeted form of marketing can be extremely effective, far better than casting a wide net and hoping for the best.

Of course, geotargeting does not happen by magic, and you can bet your competitors are trying to find local customers just as much as you are. If you want to win at this game, you need to incorporate geotargeting best practices into your website, blog and other online properties.

Panawe Batanado, senior principal software analyst at Manhattan Associates, believes the best way to incorporate those geotracking best practices is to build them in from the beginning. Whether you are building a brand-new website or redesigning an old one, there are certain geotargeting tools that will make the process easier. Here, Batanado details a few geotargeting tools every web developer should learn to love:

Google Webmaster Tools

You do not have to purchase an expensive software package to take advantage of geotargeting and its many benefits. One of the most powerful geotargeting tools, Google Webmaster, is probably already installed on your desktop or web server. It provides a plethora of information your web developer can use to optimize the site and improve results. Setting up geotargeting is easy, and once it is in place it will be easy to see where your visitors are coming from and monitor their conversion rates based on changes you make.

Bing Webmaster Tools

Never one to be left behind, Microsoft has also created a suite of tools targeted at webmasters and designed to help them improve their results. Whether you prefer Bing or focus solely on Google search results, Bing Webmaster Tools can help you boost your conversion rate and drive more sales. Like Google Webmaster Tools, the Bing version is easy to use and monitor. Once it is set up, you can monitor your web traffic more efficiently, track your conversion rates and build your profits over time.

No matter where your company and your website are located, targeting your offers to reach customers in many different geographical areas have a huge impact on your bottom line. Learning to use the geotracking tools you have available can speed those conversions and help you literally target potential customers where they live.
