How the Cloud Addresses Environmental Issues

IBM has published a report stating that 90% of the data that exists on Earth has been created in the last two years. To add to that, since 1980, storage capacity technology has doubled every two years. With the explosion of user-generated content that comes with social media and video platforms, this explosion in storage capacity isn’t going to stop soon.

This also means that each user needs a different way of storing data. Indeed, while it’s easier than ever to find external hard drives that can handle one terabyte of data, it also poses another great risk of failure: one terabyte of hard disk space can store the data of a lifetime – photos, videos, documents etc, but it also comes with the risk of that disk failing. How many computer users have you heard complain that their so-called “backup” disks have stopped working and data is now unrecoverable? I bet, up to a certain point, you’ve also lost some data along the way.

The backup and storage of data is totally a different industry and the cloud is playing a big role in this. If we consider, for example, the rise of online tools like drop-box, we can easily see that users need a different way to manage their data: a different way that will provide them with a huge and flexible storage capacity, but that also comes with a strong backup infrastructure.

On the other hand, an increasing number of publications are now moving away from print and into electronic editions for multiple reasons. One of the iconic examples is that of the Encyclopedia Britannica which will no longer be continued in the traditional printed form – a 32 volume edition that is the result of 244 years of work. Apart from the advantages that online editions bring (easily accessible compared to buying copies, and information can be updated in almost real-time) facts have shown that 85% of Encyclopedia Britannica revenue now comes from online sales and electronic editions.

So, behind all this exponential need for storage space lies a huge cloud computing infrastructure that need to ensure exceptional service level agreement. Most cloud-computing infrastructures occupy hundreds of thousands square feet space, that’s usually backed up by a similar infrastructure in another physical location. While this may seem unbelievable, regrouping the entire infrastructure under one big roof actually reduces the environmental footprint of IT systems since one can implement a global strategy for preserving the environment. As an example, it’s far easier to implement solar-power energy for the whole building than trying to have every user install solar-power at their house or office. For example, the Apple iCloud data center in Maiden, North Carolina, USA has implemented solar panels that cover the entire roof of this vast building. Another big cloud computing provider, Facebook is also implementing large-scale environment-friendly data centers and are setting up plants in Sweden.

My point being this – gathering together this rising demand for data storage by utilizing one major IT infrastructure under cloud computing solutions will give new opportunities to implement environment-friendly initiatives for IT solutions. And since there’s going to be nothing but increase in the use of IT for years to come, cloud will help mitigate the environment impact of such exponential growth.

How to Leverage Online Forums For Blog Traffic

There’s a very good chance if you are a regular Internet user that you spend a fair amount of time at online forums. For the people reading this article who don’t know what a forum is, here’s a brief introduction.

Online forums or “community forums”, are dynamic websites that allow users to start discussions by posting new topics, which other members of the forum can reply to. Forums are available for any topic with a following from hobbies, to business, to gossip, entertainment – virtually anything!

While forums come in different sizes, from the brand new that resemble ghost towns because no one uses them (yet), to large uber-communities, with tens of thousands of new posts made every day.

I won’t go into more detail because forums, while being simple in concept, are complex in features, you really need to go check some out if you have never seen one. Forums bring together like minded people with a common interest. If you are a forum virgin I think you will quickly become addicted once you join one full of people who share your interests and passions.

HOW TO USE FORUMS TO PROMOTE YOUR BLOG

Let me start with how not to use forums to promote your blog. DON’T join a forum and make your first post something like this

Hey check out my blog, it’s great -

www.myblog.com
Blatant self promotion doesn’t go down well in forums, especially if you are a new member. Forum communities have rules for conduct and won’t tolerate bad behaviour. Often rules are available as “sticky” posts, which are at the top of each forum page, so read them if you are unsure of what is expected from members. Even if there are no specific rules, it’s never a good idea to start off your membership in a community by trying to sell or promote something. Would you start a new friendship by trying to get a person to buy from you? No you wouldn’t, so don’t try it in a forum either.

Credibility, as I’ve mentioned before, is important, and when using forums as a traffic tool for your blog, your credibility is important again. Forum communities often have what I like to call “elders”. These are members who have made thousands of posts and have a lot of respect in the forum. They may be moderators who have been members of the forum for many years. Elders have a lot of credibility since they have devoted so much time to the forums.

ADDING VALUE TO A FORUM

You don’t have to become an “elder” in a forum, although if you find a forum which has the perfect audience for your blog, becoming an “elder” it may be one of the best traffic strategies for you to aim for long term.

The important concept to grasp is — to actually get someone to click through from an entry you make in a forum to your blog you need to have credibility and add value. The more often you add value, the more credibility you gain.

Adding value to a forum is just like adding value to your blog. If you help people to solve problems, gain insights or make money, you add value to their life. How you eventually gain traffic is simple – you leave links to your blog in posts you make in forums.

Here’s how I do it

Step 1: Forum signature and photograph

Your forum signature is the most important tool for gaining traffic from forums. In your signature you leave a link to your blog and for most forums your signature can be automatically added to the end of every post you make. Once you set it up you’re done – every post you make to a forum is a little advertisement for your blog.

Make sure, if the forum rules permit it, that you set this up first. Some forums only allow you to have a signature after you have made a certain number of posts or restrict what content and style you can use in your signature. Be aware of signature policies before creating your signature.

You should also include an avatar/photograph in your profile which is displayed in every post you make. If you are into personal branding like I am, and you should be if you want more blog traffic, it’s important you start exposing your image and name in as many places as you can. Posts made to forums help increase exposure and public awareness of “you”.

Step 2: Add Value

Once you have the basic profile data set up you need to start adding value to the forum. This means you can’t be a lurker – just reading the forum isn’t going to get you traffic. You need to start making posts, demonstrate your knowledge, expertise and personality by helping people, interacting and making friends.

Step 3: Indirect Self Promotion

Once you have built up a little credibility you can start to subtly self promote your blog outside of your signature. It’s still not acceptable to spread links to your blog everywhere, but what I like to do is offer links to my blog pillar articles when one of them is relevant to a question or discussion in a forum. This is a great way to add value to a forum and send traffic to your blog – just remember you have to get the context spot on or you will appear to be self promoting.

SIGNATURE POWER

If you just focus on making 10 value adding posts to forums every day by the end of the year you will have over 3500 links pointing to your blog, sending a nice consistent trickle of traffic to your blog. The more credibility and respect you have in a forum the greater the potential for that trickle to become a stream or even a torrent of traffic.
