Note - It has been brought to our attention that this is not the official beta of Google Chrome OS. We will leave this post up but please understand that this is not Google Chrome OS Beta. Thank you.

First things first you will need to download Google Chrome OS Beta and Virtual Box.

Once you have downloaded the .ISO file and unzipped it you can create your virtual disk.

Step 1 – Name the Virtual Machine and set OS and type to other.

Step 2 – Set the base memory size(RAM) I used 1000MB NOTE: Go easy on this at first you can always bump it up later if need be

Step 3 – Create a new hard disk and boot hard drive

Step 4 -Pick the type of storage you would like I did dynamically expanding storage.

Step 5 – Now set your hard drive space. I could spare 2 GB so that’s what I used.

Step 6 -Go ahead and Run your new Virtual Machine

Step 7 -Begin installing your Chrome ISO

Step 8 -Select your ISO image and blast off!

Step 9 -Select to install Chrome OS then sit back and watch it install.

Step 10 -Enjoy, test and play with Google Chrome OS.

Simple and to the point hope this is helpful!

1. Google doesn’t use the keyword meta tag should you?

Matt Cutts of Google’s Search Quality Team recently let the cat out of the bag, so to speak, on meta keywords. He stated that Google doesn’t use them when considering your pages for ranking or indexing.

So this raises the question:  Should you continue to put the keywords meta tag on your website(s)?

After some thought and discussion our vote is yes. Not because we feel that it’s going to help rank in Google, Yahoo or Bing but this would allow us to keep track of our target keyword campaigns.

For example, if we were optimizing the Raleigh/Durham web design on our homepage we would put the keyword “Raleigh/Durham web design” in our keywords meta tag. While this seems like a minor task and almost completely meaningless we feel it helps keep things organized and if you ever make changes to your target keywords you can keep track of what you added and subtracted from the page.

What are your thoughts on the keyword meta tag now?
