Haloscan- The new blogger onsite comment form 2007-08-04 09:01:00 I've been wondering around on the web to look for an service that provides script for commenting on new blogger blogs.Reason: to comment, you have to click on an external link,first sign in {if you aren't} then retype then fill in CAPTCHA {if enabled}.This is a very time consuming and irritating process.On the other hand, Wordpress blogs have on site comment forms which invites more and more readers to comment, easily.I came across a few sites, but their scripts weren't successful.Then finally I came across Haloscan.com that providesOnsite comment forms for new bloggerInstallation wizard for different blogging platforms {including both versions of blogger} so no play of code hereIntegrated support for smileys{blogger doesn't support them} and an image uploading option [even wordpress doesn't provide free image hosting for comments]Track back IncludedRecent Comments widgetGetting email address of the commenter!I have just signed up but not installed it as my previous comments would

Why Updating Blog on Sunday makes sense 2007-08-19 00:22:00 Sunday,a holiday..Almost all regular probloggers hate updating their blogs on Sunday.They prefer taking a break.But at the same time we, part time bloggers are free from their regular jobs.Over the last few days, I have observed that my traffic dips on Sundays.Reason being, even I used to take a break. To maintain,my traffic I planned to post on Sunday .And the result, I get the regular traffic. This traffic I was sure, would go to a major blog if it would have been updated.Not only this, most teenagers and the ones who are taking higher education are most of time online on Sundays which sometimes also gave a boost to my traffic from search engines like technorati.who ranks according to freshness. You may write a whole post just before the week end and then post on sunday with which you'll enjoy both the things. Adding to this, when I post on sunday, and any reader of mine opens his account on monday, he'll first of all read my feed.Also, Google almost crawls my site da Read more:Sunday

Wrap Adsense in Blogger Blog posts 2007-08-23 08:26:00 Recently, Blogger
team have added an widget for displaying Adsense
after each post.The implementation is simple Log into your Blogger account at http://www.blogger.com . Visit your blog's Template tab and click on the Page Elements link. Click Edit in the Blog Posts section. Check the box next to Show Ads Between Posts. You can then select how often you'd like your ads to appear, such as once after every post or once after every other post. Customize the ads and click on Save Changes when you're done. This can be a good opportunity for the non-geeks to increase their Adsense earnings.But as you know, I have already published a tutorial about placing Adsense Between Blogger Posts much before.I'll show you a comparison between the both of the features The widget will place your ad only after post is over but with my tutorial you can place Adsense Ad units between post title and post body of any blogger blog The widget permits only Adsense for content.

Thank you... 2007-08-22 11:05:00 But Why? This is the 100th post of our weblog, Webtalks.Webtalks began its journey on Feburary 27, 2007 and in just about 7 months, I'm writing the hundredth post of this weblog.Webtalks isn't in any of the major blog network.Moreover, My starting budget was 0$.So I didn't advertise ,the blog took a lot of time to get a decent rank and a distinct name in the blogosphere.Still, there is a long way to go.I still remember the day, when somebody offered me 20$ for buying my blog and I almost said yes until my sister advised me to be a bit patient and I'll earn triple of that amount in a month.Remember,your hardwork pays and I was quite sure that my hardwork is not worth 20$. But the real motivators were you, all readers reading this blog via RSS, all visitors reading this post on blog, all 2600 blogs which considered linking to me , Search Engine bots like Googlebot who puts my content on their indexes and gives me some visitors, Google's technology which gave away a Read more:Thank

Want a fake Google Pagerank 2007-08-02 08:33:00 Recently I came across a new term Fake Google
PR. When I read about it, I thought it as a joke but when it worked, I was shocked. Crackers have done it again! Didn’t spare Google Pagerank. With fake Pagerank you can get a PR the toolbar displays on your site of your choice. This is good enough to fool an advertiser. You can find the steps how do it below{thanks to black hat seo){But I don’t recommend doing so}1. Buy a domain{don’t experiment on established one}.2. 301 Redirect the domain either in you .htaccess, PHP header (anything server side) to a page with the desired page rank. It’s better to redirect to something relevant. For example, if you are doing a mortgage site, redirect to a mortgage site.for php the code is:<?phpheader(”HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently”);header(”location:http://www.seoblackhat.com”);exit;?>3. Link to the page with the redirect from another of your sites that gets regularly spidered by Google. Since you use the Alexa Toolbar, you shou

Changing Blogger title for Postpages. 2007-07-23 07:22:00 In recent, I have changed the title of my blog' home page to Webtalks- Blogging,Online Money Making,Tech Tips wheras the title for Post pages{Itempages}is Post title ~Webtalks. This has given a major boost to my Search Engine rankings.Now the question is How do I have two separate titles for the same blog's homepage and post page.By default, your Blogger
's title on the top left displays your blog title, and if it's in the items page, it'll include your post title as well.eg, Webtalks:Changing

I can smell the Pagerank update 2007-07-22 02:43:00 Page rank plays a vital role in describing your web site's placement in the web especially for advertising.Page rank is updated aprox. 3 months [more details].Last time it was so on April end.This would be the second update our Webtalks is going to have, in the first one it got a Page rank of 3. While checking around my pagerank in different Google DCs I observed many of them were down possibly hidding the new PR. Currently I can't give you the exact date but make sure you visit Matt Cutt's blog as he is an google employee{Googler} and will provide further information as to when will it begin.You can also perform a quick check around the iwebtool pagerank prediction tool as other tools I noticed were using the same technology.I can see that Webtalks will get a PR of 4 if all goes well though I was expecting a bit more from it after Google Webmasters back link count showed ~ 4000 linksI'll just scribble down what I'm upto to push my PR from 3 to 4+Optimizing and providing the cutt
An update on syndication 2007-07-20 09:53:00 It looks like a page rank update is quite near. I'm quite busy updating old/broken links. In that process, I have to update again and again my posts. That may result to a flood of repeated posts in the readers of my current feed.I have a solution for that.I have syndicated a new feed from feedburner which will not publish a post which is updated after it is published.The subscription options are below{though I'll not delete the previous feed,I recommend, you subscribe to the new one to avoid crap}Looks like not all were in mood of shifting... so I did some cracking work out there a t feedburner and have succeeded to modify the existing one.So no need to change now!

Adsense referrals 2.0, where the honest earns 2007-07-18 08:16:00 Its been a while since google adsense team have officially anounced for their release of adsense referrals 2.0 to all Adsense
publishers. While checking my daily totals a tip in green box came that my account has been upgraded to Adsense Referrals 2.0.I rushed to it as I was eagerly waiting for it.Why?Expanded product inventory: While many of you have had success referring one of our Google products, some of you weren't able to find a product that fit the context of your site. Referrals 2.0 offers products from thousands of AdWords advertisers, so you can find the right ads for your sites.Category and keyword targeting: With thousands of products available, it can be difficult to decide which ads will perform best on your site.

Money in experiments 2007-07-15 04:10:00 Failure takes you to success. Failure here referred is of my sponsored posts. I have done two them, one by smorty, and another of Fring both have pocketed me 12 $ only. I haven’t yet received a customer from Review Me marketplace, so to give out my blog a bit exposure and also fresh air, I have signed up with Sponsored Reviews .There are many causes that have led me to this decision and I’ll point out a few for you I received less amount from services such as smorty and didn’t receive any from ReviewMe . Limitless LimitsMy Review Me price for a sponsored post cannot be decreased below 60$. I think that was too high but for sponsored posts, I can pick my price anywhere between 20$ – 100$ I want “profits”Payout for review me review is 50% of the total amount whereas for a sponsored reviews review it is set at 65%.Moreover I can bid for the amount below or equal to the settled amount Its Vice VersaAny Advertiser on Review Me will look for an appropriat Read more:Money

Review:Aloe Vera Products India 2007-07-14 07:50:00 The winner of our second contest was again Nauzer instead of John Chow {as many thought} because his review came just after my hint.Nauzer as you remember was the winner of our first contest too.. others please gear upThis blog is about Aloe Vera
based Health, Nutrition and Beauty Products
from ,Forever Living India
.Its again a blogger blog and is using one of our 3 column template.The site's homepage is all text and well managed, well done Nauzer! {All text means a very quick loading time}. The site's homepage contains an static title less posts which serves as an introduction to its visitors. How did she do that?A Blog is like a diary where the newest entry is placed first.Remember you can change the date of your publishing by going to Post options and then changing it.You cahange the year to 2099 as I have done{just example} to make the post a static one at homepage.Similarly, if you want a separate section for links , publish a post dated 5-6 years back {depends on blog age. inc
Its all in the URL and title 2007-07-13 08:46:00 I recently conducted a small survey across the google searches and concluded some interesting things:Say we are searching for the most blogged person of 2006 - "Harry Potter"The first result comes out to be harrypotter.warnerbros.com. Actually harrpotter dot com auto matically redirects you to this site, transferring all of the google juice to it. Interestingly, backlinks for this site according to Google were some 1,340and the fun is the site ranked #6 for the same query have sum 2,500 backlinks according to Google. Mugglenet dot com is a fan site of Harry Potter and contains the term Harry Potter in its title too.So why is it ranked below Harry Potter dot com?1.Dont stuff excessive keywords in your titleStuffing excessive keywords in your homepage may lead the Google Technology to think that the site is targeting many search terms via title eg. Mugglenet besides targetting Harry Potter also targets, Daniel Radcliffe,Emma Watson , Rupert Grint... wheras Harry Potter dot comtargets onl
Get your blogger drafted' 2007-07-12 07:50:00 Just when blogger used to sounded boring, blogger has something for impatient bloggers like me, The Blogger in Draft.Blogger in draft is a special version of Blogger where we try out new features before releasing them to everyone. Think of it as our sandbox, or laboratory, or just “Blogger + new things.” By taking your feedback and looking at what works and what doesn’t, we’ll be able to make features that much better when releasing them to everyone.To enable some of the most cool widgets, you need to log on from draft.blogger.com/draft instead of blogger.com . Don't be scared your posts won't be lost neither would be your template and also when you feel Blogger in Draft is crap, log in back from blogger.comwhat will I win?Some of the most cool widgets like a dynamic poll element {of course adfree) which is already published for regular users too.A search box powered by Google coop which collects sources from your entire blog and also linked blogs/websites and too is dynamic.
Managing your feeds well 2007-07-06 09:00:00 A web feed is a document (often XML-based) which contains content items with web links to longer versions. News websites and blogs are common sources for web feeds, but feeds are also used to deliver structured information ranging from weather data to "top ten" lists of hit tunes to search results. The two main web feed formats are RSS and Atom.A {new} blogger blog by default comes integrated with many atom feeds.Summary: When submitting your blog to blog directories, they always ask for a feed URL. I always used to submit my full RSS feed, and I was surprised to see that in My Blog Catalog neighborhood, there were many members who read my blog feed daily but didn't subscribe to it.If you want a bit more traffic to your site instead of giving your full feed, you can give summarized feed which comprises of headlines and only some portion of the post and excludes images within posts so visitors who click any one of the headline will reach straight your blog's post.
