Solid-state disk (SSD) drives are all the rage among techies. The drives use non-volatile NAND flash memory, meaning that there are no moving parts and they are faster in reading and, in most cases, writing data. Computerworld magazine has published a worth to read article Review: Hard disk vs. solid-state drive — is an SSD worth the money?
The conclusion in the article is: For most users, this a good time to consider buying a higher-end HDD that should deliver more-than-enough performance while you wait for SSD prices to drop further. That could be a long wait.
Typical notebook or desktop users probably won’t notice a big difference between an SSD drive and a traditional hard disk drive other than a faster boot-up and quicker application-launch times. For laptops and desktops, where consumers will continue to seek as much capacity as money can buy, SSD adoption will likely suffer for years to come.
SSDs make sense for small handheld devices and special applications. SSD will continue to dominate in small handheld devices because the cost to produce flash memory-based drives is significantly cheaper than hard disk drives when drive capacity does not need to be very big.

I do not recommend to use blackhat marketing.
Black Hat search engine optimization is customarily defined as techniques that are used to get higher search rankings in an unethical manner.
Black Hat SEO is tempting; after all, these tricks actually do work, temporarily. They do end up getting sites higher search rankings; that is, until these same sites get banned for using unethical practices. It’s just not worth the risk.
More information on the methods and why to avoid them can be found at http://websearch.about.com/od/seononos/a/spamseo.htm

Thank you for your tips on making contexual links which your visitors will click upon.
This blog is already using one different contexual links system so I don’t think paying to get another one would make sense…
