The event logs contain the most important information for diagnosing application and operating system failures, determining the health and status of a system and verifying that system and applications are operating properly.
Windows systems store all logs in binary .Evt files and there are three basic event logs: Application (AppEvent.Evt), System (SysEvent.Evt), and Security (SecEvent.Evt). Windows 2000 (and later) servers may contain additional event logs: DNS Server (DNSEvent.Evt), File Replication Service (NtFrs.Evt), and on Active Directory domain controllers, Directory Service (NTDS.Evt).
System log tracks miscellaneous system events like startup, shutdown and events like hardware and controller failures. The Application log is an important source for application status information. When properly integrated with the Windows operating system, applications can report their errors to the Event log by recording an event entry into the Application log. Security log tracks events such as logon, logoff, changes to access rights, and system startup and shutdown.
Windows event logs can be useful for ;
-Securing your network from internal attacks
-Monitoring availability of your critical applications
-Centralized eventlog management integrated with your network monitoring software

As a part of marketing and SEO tactic webmasters go for buying text links, some for improving their PR, others for getting traffic and some just for publicity.
When buying links, you need to check for what benefit you will get from that link, will it be able to bring targeted traffic ?
If you get a good traffic through that link, consider your investment has paid for itself.
While buying text links you should considered following thing :
Page Rank: A link from a higher page rank site will give you better positioning and rank, though a link from a higher page ranked sites will be costly. Always try to have your link at high PR site.
Alexa Ranking: Alexa.com provides a rough estimate of the traffic that the website gets. Note that Alexa reports for the whole website, including the subdomain names etc. But still an Alexa ranking less than 100,000 is what you should be check for the linking site as this may ensure for the traffic.
Relevancy: You should always try to purchase links from sites or linking pages that provide content that is related to your site or page content. – You will get the most value from Google when the linking page or linking website provides content that related to your website content.
Visibility : Always check for the placement of your link. The link has to placed in a visible part of the website and not at much deeper page.
Number of Links: Your link should not be placed at a pages having lot of out-going links. This will diminish the value of the Page rank. If it has more than 100 outbound links, more chances are that your site link will lose its link value.
Check for nofallow tag : Your linking site should not be having the rel=”nofollow” tags in the link, which denotes that the search engines (at least Google) will not count the outbound link as valuable. Some webmasters do this blackhat tactic for preserving their PR.
