More Ram in my computer

My ex came over and installed a gig of ram to my computer.

It runs so much better now.

We bought the ram from ebay, that was cool because I'd never bought anything from ebay before. They have a "buy it now" button if you see what you want for the price you want to pay for it. I discovered that if you see something priced on ebay for a price that's too good to be true, it is. Every time you bid on something, someone outbids you within seconds. I suppose it's possible that someone else was bidding the same time I was but I don't believe it. I think the seller had a minimum price set. If that's true why did he or she start the bidding for half of what they were really going to accept? I'm avoiding anything that doesn't have a buy it now button for the foreseeable future.

The ram came from ebay within 3 days, so that was kind of cool.

Apparently if you view a lot of pictures and especially if you view a lot of videos or edit videos for uploading to youtube your computer can slow down a lot. It seems to require more power or something to mess with videos. Since this is my work computer and my only source of income right now I'm a happier camper than I was last week.

I've spent many, many hours reading and learning from forums. There are dozens (maybe hundreds?) of different kinds of forums on every topic conceivable. I'm signed up for webmastering forums and marketing forums and writing skills forums (the writers seem to all prefer books to computer screens or ebooks).

Forums used to be called Bulletin Boards I'm finding out, they all seem to be using similar software as the layout of each one is remarkably similar. They all of a Control Panel (often called a CP) and they let you upload a picture of yourself. Not sure what an avatar is yet, but they all have one. They all seem to have an "off topic" section and an "introduce yourself" section.

I'm really embarrassed to ask questions where the people there seem to know extreme geek stuff, I'm not really required to know all that geek stuff but I should know a rudimentary amount of the terminology.

Some forums are less intimidating than others, will keep you posted:)

Learning from spending time on SEO forums.

I'm an intern, for me that means on the job training. I was instructed to spend time on SEO forums to give me enough background on our industry to enable me to understand what the end result of our video interviews should be.

My boss is paying me to learn, I was told to sign up for dozens of online marketing forums and webmastering forums and scan the questions everyone asks. This is known as "lurking", after I felt comfortable enough, I was urged to ask my own questions. That is known as "posting". Having a conversation on a forum, where people are posting Q & A's and then you include your participation, this entire process is known as a "thread".

I'm relieved to discover that I'm not the only newbie.

The first forum I spent a lot of time on was WebDigity.com

Someone asked a question that caught my eye, they asked can someone really make SEO into a career. You can tell from the clumsy grammar used, this person likely uses english as a second language.

"Is it really worth with SEO as career that can make money with SEO services. How important is seo as career to someone that use it to make money online...

what do you all think about that?"

Hi Nikolas, Thank you for posting the link to SEOBook, I'm very new at all of this. I'm a new intern and my boss is constantly saying to learn this, that and everything. There is so much information to mentally absorb, it can be a bit overwhelming. I just spent the last couple of hours reading and watching related videos (by LeFever) through SEOBooks. I learned more in the past few hours than I have in the past 3 weeks. Which is especially useful, as my boss is paying me learn, in addition to working. The info from both SEOBook and the Lefever YOUtube videos, were comfortable and easy to follow and absorb. I now subscribe to both.
