Make a Program Starts Automatically When Your Computer Boots

Do you want to set a software installed on your computer to start automatically when your PC boots up? If you use an application installed on your PC often, it is better to set that application starts automatically. I have a Samsung netbook which I use for browsing. So it makes sense to enable auto start for Google Chrome and Firefox, my favorite browsers. To convert a normal software to start automatically on a computer, we must add it to Windows StartUp.

All the programs and tools listed in StartUp run automatically when the computer boots. This tutorial explains how to enable auto-start on selected applications installed on your laptop.

The second part of this guide explains how to delete a program from StartUp if you no longer want that application start with booting.


Make A Software Runs Automatically
I think it is better to explain this concept with a practical example. I am going to set the Google Chrome to run automatically on Windows boot. You can follow the same procedure to convert any application into an auto-run mode.
  1. Open StartUp Folder:
    1. Click on Windows Start and Select All programs

    2. Right click on StartUp and Click open

       folder
  2. Create Shortcut of Google Chrome
    1. Right Click on Google Chrome

    2. Click on Create Shortcut

  3. Drag the shortcut into the StartUp folder

Now the Google Chrome is added to Windows StartUp. It means, whenever your computer boots, Google Chrome too will start automatically. By following the same steps, you can add any programs on your computer to Windows StartUp and convert them autostarting applications.

Now it is the time to learn about Windows runtime errors. To learn more about runtime error click on the link below.

Remove unwanted Startup Programs
Sometimes you may need to remove certain applications from this list. It is because having so many applications in that folder may reduce your system bootup speed and efficiency.

We can remove any programs from appearing in system bootup menu by removing them from msconfig window.
  1. Click on Windows start

  2. On search type msconfig and press enter

  3. Click on the startup tab

  4. Uncheck unwanted programs

The unchecked programs will not appear in that folder again.

How To Identify Low Quality Backlinks to My Website

There was a time when every link pointing to our websites gave PR hike and keyword ranking. After Penguin updates, low quality backlinks neither help nor improve the PR of our websites. Penguin update penalizes websites having a lot of low valued backlinks. It is the hard time where webmasters are eagerly looking for any bad links pointing to their website and remove them before causing more damage. This tutorial helps you to identify lower quality backlinks and assist you to neutralize them.


Google webmaster tool has added disavow feature to help webmasters to neutralize spammy backlinks indexed by Google. All you have to do is to upload the list of lower quality backlinks using this too. Now I am asking you a few important questions.

  • Which links are lower quality links?

  • Which type backlinks may harm your website?

  • How do we find whether a backlink good or bad?

  • Is there any tool to find low-value web pages pointing to our websites?

These are the common questions asked by every professional webmaster. After reading this article, you will learn how to check which type of links can harm the SEO value of a website.



Factors Decide the Quality of an External Link Pointing to Our websites
How to find if a backlink to my website is a quality one? Different webmasters and SEO consultants have different opinions about the total value of a backlink. The below list shows the most accepted qualities of a high-quality backlink.

If one link does not satisfy the following conditions, we can say it a low-value backlink.

  1. The Relevance of the web page:

    The first and most important factor which decides the value of a backlink is the relevance of the linking page with the linked page. If your website gets a backlink from an unrelated web page, it is a low-value backlink. Links from irrelevant web pages can attract Penguin effects.

    For example, any reference from a cosmetic blog post to an electrical website is a low-value link.


  2. The Number of External Links From a Page:

    If we acquire a backlink from a web page with 100 links, Google does not give much weight to it.


  3. Page Rank of the web page: (Google no more updates public PR ):

    We should consider the Page Rank(PR) of the page from which we get backlinks. A backlink from high PR Page will give more value.


  4. Domain Authority and Trust:

    References from a trusted source have more value than the web pages with less Domain Authority. Backlinks achieved from a trusted website in the same niche are high-quality backlinks.


  5. Nofollow Attribute:

    Links without having a nofollow attribute pass PR juice to linked webpage. Though there is a discussion going on about whether nofollow blocks entire PR juice, I prefer links without having nofollow attribute to my website.


  6. Editorial Review:

    Google likes backlinks from a post published after a strict editorial review. One from user-generated content, not reviewed by moderators, is considered as a low-quality backlink.


  7. Automatic Link Building:

    Links built by automatic tools are low-quality backlink and which may even attract Penguin penalties.


  8. Links From Duplicate Content:

    References from duplicate content cannot be quality backlinks. They should come from unique quality content to become considered as quality backlinks.

  9. Google Loves Natural Links:

    We know Google loves natural links which are added by time on other websites by respective webmasters who are impressed by the high-quality content on our website. According to Google guidelines, any backlinks artificially created are treated as low quality.


Quality backlinks help our websites to get high keyword rank in Google. Also, we know the importance of them to help Google spiders to index a webpage.
