SEM Basics: How to Use a Proxy IP in Firefox

I’m sure most of my small select readership are well aware of how to use a proxy IP but after writing my last post, a less-technical friend asked for more details. So here you are, a quick 10-minute guide to using a proxy IP.

What is a Proxy IP?

There are computers that allow anyone to connect to the web through them, i.e. they can be used as a gateway to the internet. Some of these computers are deliberately left open or run as commercial services while others are left open by accident through poor server administration. The Proxy IP is the address of that computer.

Why Do We Need to Use Proxy IPs?

Several reasons. Maybe you are carrying out multilingual marketing and wish to test your website or PPC advertising from the perspective of visitors outside your country. You may even want to ensure that your material is not available, for example blocking poker advertising from US visitors due to current legislation. Sometimes you just want to test on an IP outside your local company network, to ensure the public have the experience you expect.

Where do we get a Proxy IP?

There are many sources for Proxy IPs, some free and some commercial. As with most things, you get what you pay for. If y... read more >>

How to add Friends to Groups, Lists or Filters in Facebook

Before the new Facebook interface was fully launched, I mentioned that it would be a good idea to plan some groups for you to filter your friends into. Lists like “business” or “cute” or “mum and her friends” or guys at work” or “guys at footy”.

So, I was trying to figure out how to put my friends into different groups (filter them) in Facebook and found it a bit tricky so thought I’d share it here:

EASIEST- WHEN ADDING AS A Facebook FRIEND

facebook-new-request

The best time to do it, is when you add/request people as friends, i.e. on the reqs page.

IF THEY ARE ALREADY A Facebook FRIEND - LISTS

Go to Friends

Go to Friends

You get this screen. They hid groups, lists, filters, whatever you want to call them, under TOGGLE.

Toggle is the Key

Toggle is the Key

Actually, number 1 should point to Friends Lists (your filter).

What are the number?

  1. Friends Lists - a list of groups that you are using. You can add at the bottom.
  2. Networks and old filters - Facebook had about 12 inluding school friends, colleagues and “Hookups” which must mean something less racy in America than it does in Australia!
  3. TOGGLE. Groups are hidden here.

So, what does Toggle do? It gives you more options:

facebook-kate-kendall

I picked Kate Kendall cos she looks all gorgeous and Rembrandt-y. :P

Anyway, tha... read more >>
