Dofollow Blogs

Today I searched dofollow blogs to get some good back link juice flowing. For those who don’t know what dofollow blogs are they are blogs that do not have “no follow” in the link for the url. Found a couple of good lists of blogs that are dofollow but the most interesting website I found was http://www.inlineseo.com/dofollowdiver/. It is a DoFollow Blogs Search Engine with the claim of

No need to search for “dofollow blogs” as all of the blogs are dofollow. Search for your keywords to find dofollow blogs that mention your keyword.

This site can provide you with a great way to get a double check mark in what makes a good back link. dofollow link: check. relative content to website: check. Now if you can just work in a keyword in the links text with out making it look like spam you hit the trifecta!

Problems Executing Java From Cron

Today I searched on a path problem when executing a Java program from Cron. The sh script I was executing ran fine when executing in the shell, but hibernate was failing its startup. It turns out that it was not using the correct version of Java. The path export that normally fires when a user shells in was not present when Cron fired the job.

The solution: export the path and append the path to the correct Java version in the shell script.

export PATH=/jdk1.6.0_16/bin:$PATH

Only took about 30 minutes to figure that out…uggg

Diagnosing Connectivity Issues To A Specific Web Site

Today I searched how to diagnose an internet connectivity issue to a specific web site. It was about 1am and I got awakened by a call from our office in India. They were having problems connecting to our web based system. They said they could get to any other site but ours. I checked our site from my computer at home and found everything working properly. It was one of the hops in between causing a connectivity issue.

I started to google and found this pretty cool trace tool VisualRoute 2010 Lite Edition. The lite edition is free and allows you to run a trace route back to any domain on the net. It will show you the number of hops and response time. It also was able to tell me what network the bad hop resided in and its ip address. The pay additions look like they are much for feature rich but this was a nice graphical free tool I was able to use to quickly diagnose the problem.
