Internet Safety for Girls
2007-11-10 12:38:00
Here we discuss some general Internet Safety Issues and steps to take to improve security on the internet.One of the most common ways by which Internet Security is compromised is by using a bug-ridden internet browser. It raises serious security concerns when a malicious hacker targets a known vulnerability in the browser. It is therefore recommended that you use a safer browser that is less prone to attacks. I have used FireFox+Google Toolbar for quite a while, I strongly recommend that you download and try it. You will see that with the help of the google toolbar, it is able to block annoying popups too. FireFox, is and always was free to use and can be uninstalled easily if you arent impressed with it.Once the browser is secured, you should get the official updates for your operating system. Most users nowdays use Windows XP, So all XP users should get Windows XP Service Pack 2 to better defend you operating system. Get the Windows XPSP2 from any of the following locations:http://ww

Getting Free Content for your Blog
2007-06-26 00:30:00
As you may have heard before "content is king". Bloggers are mostly content writers. It is the content that drives traffic to your blog or website. To get more web traffic, you would add more useful content to your blog/site, however you might not be able to come up with quality content as regularly as you might wish(Reasons could be laziness, lack of motivation/interest, blogging fatigue, monotony etc.). In this situation you probably would want to keep your blog fresh with new content by getting free content for your blog/website.The easy-lazy way is to use the free available content from article submission directories, which host articles from variety of authors on various topics, most of the directories will let you use the content if you follow the terms of usage and give proper credit to the author. Most times, you just have to publish and unlatered with the author/site credit resourcebox in the post footer. However do read the republishing terms of the sites, whose content you w

Get visitors from google blogs to yours
2007-06-15 05:38:00
Here's a smart tip for those looking to drive a little traffic to their site/blog. Subscribe to the Official google blogs which are of your interest. I generally subscribe to the feed of those blogs of google services that I use frequently, like adsense, analytics, adwords, blogger etc.Whenever a new article of your interest is published on Google Blogs, go ahead and make a blog post about the article and include a live link to the page, such asSource : http://adsense.blogspot.com/2007/06/success-story-from-india.htmlThen, a link to your post will appear directly under the post that you have linked to. Notice that people visiting Google blogs would occasionaly stop by and check out your blog. Don't over-do this trick though, otherwise your blog will look like a discardable collection of irrelevant articles from google blogs.Did you come from one of the Google blogs? YES! You see this tip works !

New Blogger Layouts and Google Analytics
2007-05-07 11:20:00
Some people have reported that the new drag and drop layout of blogger does not work with google analytics. When testing the problem myself. I found out that the code which is typically in the format of_uacct = "UA-XXXXXX-X";urchinTracker();is changed to_uacct = "UA-XXXXXX-X";urchinTracker();upon saving and probably that breaks the code. Actually this is an installation problem. you can't copy paste the code into the blogger layout code( because its XHTML code now). Google Analytics site recommends that you paste the tracking code before the tag. That install procedure is outdated.Below are the instructions for installing Google Analytics tracking code to new drag and drop layout of blogger/blogspot without problems.Login to your dashboard and click "Manage : Layout"On the template tab, select Page ElementsOn Page Elements, click Add a page element( I recommend adding it to the bottom of the page)On the pop up window click the "Add to Blog" option beside "HTML/JavaScript" O

AdSense Abuse Techniques and Countermeasures by Google
2007-05-07 11:20:00
You must have seen the use of floating layers on many sites (generally created using DHTML & JavaScript). Since these layers can move dynamically and could be programmed to follow the mouse, Placing Adsense Ads on these layers can be unintentional clicks on the ads. Google therefore does not allow the ads to be placed on floating layers.Images as Graphical pointers beside ad units were preferred way of many ad publishers to grab the attention of the visitor who would otherwise have ignored the ads due to the “ad blindness” behavior. In this technique images or flash objects are used in order to deceive the visitors into clicking the Ad by suggesting a link between the image/flash object and the ads. Google therefore disallows any images or flash objects beside the ads, which could suggest any link between the two.Some publishers tried to hide the “ads by google” tagline by customizing the background color of the page and the color of the ad itself so that it would blend into th

Generating More Revenue than AdSense
2007-04-24 00:41:00
I have been using Blogger+AdSense for over an year now, I have learnt that adding Google AdSense to your blog is a lazy way to generate revenue from your blog. You can run AdSense on your blogs, and If you are using blogger, setting it up on your blog is a piece of cake.On popular blogs it will generate decent revenue, however other blogs will struggle to make (less than impressive!) $1 per month.Since Direct Affilate Advertising programs will disapprove most blogs, Are there other alternative ways to increase your revenue? The answer to that question is YES! and the best part is that it is still free to join this network. Follow the link below to signup.Click the button above for Free Registration!

Essential Blog Things : Visitor Hit Counter
2007-04-20 08:05:00
One of the most important things that you can put on your blog is a "hit counter" or visitor tracking sytem which will give you most valuable information on which pages are being viewed most, what search engines are being used to find your page, what keywords are making your page stand up on search results, what is the geographical location of your visitors etc.You can use this information to improve and customize your page for your visitors. Earlier having a free hit counter on your page meant that you had to have a visible banner/button/link on your page but nowdays there are many free invisible hit counters that you can put on your blog.
