    CALIFORNIA GOLD RUSH
    January 24, 1848 - Sutter's Mill, Coloma, California

    This initiated the California Gold Rush and during the next few years, thousands of people flocked to the area to search for gold. Some nuggets of gold in the native metallic form were simply lying on the ground. More were found by panning streambeds, and later, increasingly technological mining methods were employed. John A. Sutter was building a sawmill at Coloma on the American Fork River, to provide lumber for construction projects. His contractor, James W. Marshall made the first discovery of specimens of gold, which he showed to Sutter, who chemically identified it was gold. Further samples were found in the grave of the tail-race of the mill. As recently as 2011, the discovery in northern California of a 100-ounce gold nugget was reported.

It occupied three sides of a 30-ft x 60-ft room. On the back wall, three punches and thirty readers provided paper-tape storage. Banks of vacuum tube circuits for card reading and sequence control and 36 paper tape readers comprising the table-lookup section occupied the left wall. Most of the right wall was filled by the electronic arithmetic unit and storage. In the center of the room were card readers, card punches, printers, and the operator's console. It was visible to pedestrians on the sidewalk outside.

Getting the desired traffic is very important when putting up a site online. After all, it would be worthless to put up a site with all sorts of attractions, if no one will even visit for a peek. Thus, many online sites have invested greatly on ways to get traffic flowing.

One of methods that is often employed in traffic generation is link building. To the layman, link building is basically the creation of links in various websites that would then lead back to your sites. This means that you will be able to get traffic coming to you even if users don't directly go to your site. As in any other SEO techniques, link building is not a simple task.

In fact it can rather pretty complex. However, there are some useful strategies that you can do to make link building not only easier, but also more effective.First up you need to know your target market. Be familiar with their interests and also know where they are most commonly found online. This will help you in determining how you will put up branch your links to reach your target. In order to get more information about the target for link building purposes, you need to interact with them by engaging in online conversation.

This will augment what you have gathered from outside sources.Once you have all your information, then it's time to put up your links. Your goal here is to reach a wide share of your target, while at the same time, be able to snag at least a bit of those from the outside. Social networking sites are indispensable when it comes to link building. Here you can put up an article, place comments or simply do anything that will get your links noticed.

However, you need to be sure that your contents actually do have something to say and not just contain gibberish for the sake of linking. This way, you will genuinely get the attention of your audience enough that they actually click on your links, and thus, generate the traffic you want.A good strategy to use when link building is to let other people distribute your links for you. This will even work better if you pair it with good content as people will automatically put up your links on their own pages if they like it, even without you asking them.

Thus be sure to provide your viewers with the exact information, such as your site's complete address, so that they can post it up. Better yet, you can also give them the code for the link so that they can just past it to their HTML code and it will automatically show up on their pages.However, while you are out posting links, you will also receive requests from others to put up links of their own on your site. The best thing here is to allow as many as you can. It is not only a sign of goodwill, but linking out is also a good way to get traffic. People going on to the other sites will more likely to come across you more when you serve as a route to get there.
