Yes its really here! Green Operating System. HAHA You thought I was going to say Google Operating System. Someone finally decided to create an OS that engulfs the Google philosophy and adds some Google flavor to the mix. They integrated some Google goodies into the OS as a standard. This OS was built on the popular Linux Unbuntu platform, which means its a pretty well tested setup. Saying that I myself havent given this one a test yet. I might pop in an old hard drive of mine and try it out later. But for now this new OS is so well setup that the folks down at Walmart have decided to sell one of their computers with gOS installed on it.

Everyone is saying this is the Google operating system, but they would be wrong, or at least we can say for now that Google is not supporting this officially. They arent affiliated with this operating system. If you doubt me, then take a gander at the official site for gOS and their disclaimer at the bottom of the page.

Check out the gOS enabled computer:

Recently I’ve been on a real kick of reshaping how I structure my sites links. Now I’m not talking about doing links for your users, which is something you should never ignore, but having a proper link structure for the search engine spiders to go check out. There are numerous benefits to getting this done right and numerous ways to go about doing it.

The one way I’ve been experimenting with as of late is using that fancy rel=”nofollow” tag that everyone in the SEO world has been raving about. With some simple PHP scripts and a little bit of my afternoon I was able to rip apart my sites and make them spider friendly. The basics of using the rel=”nofollow” tag is it tells the spiders what links to follow and how to go about cruising through your sites link structure. Now obviously you want to take some time and figure out the optimal structure for your site. I advise you go find a copy of the ebook Revenge of the MiniNet, and study the hell out of it. Its the basics for creating a great site structure. What are the benefits? Well if you can learn how to stretch the link structure correctly and by doing so your site will seem like more of an authority on your topic. Or you can get that PR a boost by putting the right weight of PR on each link.

I’ve seen some slight improvements so far in my major sites. Some jumped a notch up in PR in the last update due to this, I’m sure. If you’ve had some fun with link structures and the nofollow tag, lets hear your stories.
