Adsense Tips for Bloggers 1

How do you make money from the Google Adsense Program? What AdSense Tips can you share with us?
I have been asked this question so many times in the past few weeks that I thought I should write something on the topic. It seems increasingly bloggers want to try to cover their hosting and ISP costs with some revenue from their blog – and increasingly they’re doing it and are able to make a few (or quite a lot) dollars on the side. Many are turning to Google’s Adsense program.
Covering costs of my Digital Photography Blog is why I originally signed up with Google Adsense – blogging can get expensive when you have high levels of traffic and a lot of pages.
Whilst the agreement you sign with Google stresses that you are not allowed to give specific information about your earnings from the program I can say that I’m glad I’ve signed up because its well and truly covered my costs – and then some. In fact I think its quite feasible to expect that Adsense coupled with other strategies for making money from Blogging could quite easily generate a decent living. It takes time and hard work, but I think its very doable. (Update: Since writing this series I’ve revealed that I am now looking at making over a six figure income this year in 2005 from blogging).
So how do I make money from Google Adsense? Let me share some AdSense Tips that heve helped me.
This will be the first in a series of posts on this topic. Let me say up front I’m no expert – there are a lot of people out there making a lot more money than I am using Adsense – however most of them are not telling their secrets – well not for free anyway. I’ve got no secrets to hide and am willing to share what I’ve learnt since I signed up for the program 8 months ago. If you want a REAL expert’s opinion on Adsense I’d recommend buying Joel Comm’s What Google Never Told You About Making Money with Adsense E-Book. Joel earns $15,000 per month from Adsense and has some good things to share.
I know some bloggers are put off or offended by the idea of making money from blogging so I’ll try not to let these posts dominate my blog – however if you are not interested in the topic, simply skip over these posts.

I am going to assume a few things in this series to cut down the amount of introductory comments I have to make. Here is what I am assuming:
  • You have a blog. Whilst most of the following tips will apply to other types of websites I run Adsense on blogs and will speak from that experience.
  • You have (or will) read a basic overview of Adsense and have some understanding of what it is.
  • You have(or will) read the program policies as outlined by Google. These give details of site eligibility, ad placements and other requirements for using the system.
Enough introductory comments – lets get stuck into the Adsense Tips for Bloggers!

Advancements in Language Software

Now that business professionals, lawyers and students have access to translator applications, communicating with people around the world is much easier. Lawyers can draft contracts in other languages with the help of free online translation programs. Business professionals can speak with people from foreign countries over Skype with the help of a live interpreter to translate the conversation. Students can now excel in their language courses by double-checking their homework, essays and exams with the use of online translation programs.
Translator applications have now become a staple in the world of education. Professors now recommend that students use free translator applications on the Internet in order to excel in picking up a new language. In previous years, translator applications were not widely available online. Now, students can access a variety of translator applications for free on the Internet and as mobile apps. They can access these applications and make use of the instant texts that they can receive.
The way in which the most reputable translator applications work is that a person must copy and paste a block of text into a space on a translator application. After a person has pasted the texted into the space, then he or she can click the “translate” button and see the text instantly translated into a language of his or her choosing.
One of the other advancements in translator software is that translator software now provides users with access to a majority of the languages in the world. Users can now translate text into languages that may not be well-known to the rest of the world. For scholars, this advancement is essential for the way it helps them conduct research. Scholars who do not have a background in Latin can use translator tools to translate text from Latin into English and vice versa. They can discern the meaning of medieval texts by understanding how to translate Latin with the help of translation software.
One can even find interpreter scheduling software available online to help with the process of picking up a new language. With this type of software, a person can set up a one-on-one meeting with an interpreter. This meeting will help a person learn all of the intricacies of another language. A person will be able to learn all of the cultural nuances that affect a particular language with the help of an interpreter.
Overall, the advancements in language software programs have helped people pick up new languages, conduct business overseas and draft legal documents in other languages. It has become an important part of international commerce and education.

Vupen claims 'remote code execution' on Windows 8

Vupen, a security company in the business of selling zero-day vulnerabilities, said Friday that it has found a way to bypass security mechanisms on Windows 8 and execute code via a Web page.
Vupen Chief Executive Chaouki Bekrar said in an email that the company's researchers had found "multiple vulnerabilities" in Windows 8 and Internet Explorer 10, the latest version of Microsoft's operating system and Web browser.
"We have researched and discovered multiple vulnerabilities in Windows 8 and Internet Explorer 10 that we have combined together to achieve a full remote code execution via a Web page which bypasses the new exploit-mitigation technologies included in Win8," he said.
Microsoft declined comment on Bekrar's email, saying that it had not received any details of the flaws. "We continue to encourage researchers to participate in Microsoft's Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure program to help ensure our customers' protection," Dave Forstrom, director of Microsoft Trustworthy Computing, said in a statement.
Wolfgang Kandek, chief technology officer of Qualys, said the fact that Vupen had to chain vulnerabilities was an indication of how well Microsoft has bolstered security in Windows 8. To exploit such a collection of bugs would take considerable skill.

How to create Sitemap for a Blogger Blog?

We just covered importance of Sitemaps for blogs – websites and 15+ Tools to Create Sitemap of a blog or website. None of the tool listed there will be of use to you, if you are using Blogger as your blogging platform.

Why? Blogger automatically creates sitemap for every Blogger Blog. As pointed by Google Webmaster Help Center, Blogger even submits Sitemap for you. So, ideally if you run a Blogger blog you don’t have to do anything. However, if you still want to submit your blog sitemap to any other 3rd party service, here is the default sitemap URL:

http://www.blogname.blogpost.com/rss.xml and
http://www.blogname.blogpost.com/atom.xml

In case you use blogging platform other than Blogger, then check tools to create Sitemap. Thanks to Arpit for pointing this out!

Need for Speed: Most Wanted - A Criterion Game (Limited Edition) review


It's not quite the smooth, finely tuned speed machine it could have been, but Need for Speed: Most Wanted is still an exciting racer.

The Good

  • Terrific handling makes driving a pleasure  
  • Police chases are usually intense and enjoyable  
  • Billboards make for satisfying asynchronous competition  
  • Online multiplayer races are fast and exciting  
  • Beautiful and varied city.

The Bad

  • In slower cars, police chases can be a frustrating ordeal  
  • Repetitive police chatter  
  • Lacks any sense of narrative motivation  
  • Building up a car collection is unfulfilling  
  • Inconsistent, sometimes dull online challenges.

Vehicles glide along invisible roads in the sky. Cars are borne out of twitchy, twisty clouds of darkness. Groups of police cruisers perform coordinated donuts, twirling about like dancers in a Busby Berkeley musical. In the creative and unusual pre-race sequences throughout Need for Speed: Most Wanted, you get the sense that the city of Fairhaven is a surreal land with dreamlike logic that might allow anything to happen at any moment. It's striking, then, that the actual game here is so typical and unsurprising, and that although it delivers plenty of the hard-hitting, white-knuckle racing Criterion is known for, it doesn't do so quite as well as some of the studio's earlier games.

Windows 8: Not just for touchscreens?

Microsoft says new OS is just as suited to keyboard and mouse By

One of the most common complaints we hear about the new Windows 8 operating system is that it's designed for touchscreen computers and tablets, and so not of interest to users of 'normal' computers with a keyboard and mouse or touchpad.
Today we put this to Microsoft Senior Product Manager Rob Epstein, and the response was clear: "Windows 8 was built for keyboard and mouse as much as it is for touch", he told us.
He added that people who have upgraded to the new operating system "don't find it an issue at all", and that "It's more intuitive and faster than people believe".
"The main thing we'd like people to do is try it", he said. "It's a better Windows 7 than Windows 7 - more secure, and faster underneath".
And, to an extent, I can see his point.
It's certainly true that the new 'Metro' interface can be baffling at first - especially when it comes to the Charms menu, which is entirely new and full of important features, such as shutting down the computer, that you can't afford to miss.
But, after having used Windows 8 for a couple of weeks now, while working on our Windows 8: The Complete Guide app, I'm finding it quick and easy to use.
Starting a program might look different, but it works in exactly the same way as before: I tap the Start key, begin typing the program's name, then press Enter when it appears. And my most used programs - Word and Photoshop - are pinned to the Taskbar in exactly the same place as Windows 7.
As a heavy keyboard shortcuts user, I get to the Charms with the Windows key and C together. To get the Desktop, Windows key and D - a shortcut already there in Windows 7.
And my main desktop PC, upgraded from Windows 7, now starts up more quickly and shuts down in a snap.
I'm not quite sold on everything, of course. Some of the built in apps - Email, for example - seem to me more suited to a small tablet display than a big desktop monitor, and I wish that settings were searchable without first selecting a separate category.
There's also a menu in the Metro view - accessible by right click if you have a mouse - that I wish was more neatly integrated somewhere else - having menus flying in from three directions seems like overkill.
In general, though, I'm happy with the results of my upgrade, and can't see a reason to go back to Windows

Apple rewrites its apology to Samsung, now appearing in UK newspapers


Apple has rewritten its apology to Samsung following its previous version which was labelled as “non-compliant” by the court that made the initial ruling. Apple was told by Lord Justice Longmore, Lord Justice Kitchin and Sir Robin Jacob that it had to change the wording of the statement and that it should be carried on its home page with at least an 11-point font. The new statement is now appearing in UK newspapers but has not yet appeared on Apple.com. The news comes from The Next web.
When Apple placed the apology on its website on October 26, it ran part of the order but also included references in its UK lawsuits that Samsung products were “not as cool” as its iPad and iPhone devices. The link to the apology was also tucked away in a hard to view section of its website. Apple representatives apparently told the court that it would take up to 14 days to change the statement, but one of the judges refused to believe it.
So 24-hours later, Apple has published the necessary apology in UK newspapers but it remains to be seen how long it will take to update on its website. Currently the original unsatisfactory statement has been removed so we would expect the revised statement to appear sooner rather than later.

British woman writes a novel on her BlackBerry and gets a publishing deal!

This story isn't the first we have heard of an author writing a book on their trusty BlackBerry, but it's inspiring nonetheless. After a bet with her daughter, Georgina Campbell managed to knock out a whopping 55,600 words on her BlackBerry keyboard and for her effort has gotten herself a publishing deal, which is not an easy feat.
The novel, titled 'The Kickdown Girls', revolves around a group of girls growing up in South London. Georgina was inspired after watching the movie 'Attack The Block' and wasn't very impressed with the script, so mother and daughter decided they would challenge each other to do better.
She said that as soon as she started writing on her Blackberry she became ‘immersed' in the task and soon rattled out more than 55,600 words - filling up 200 pages in just four months.
Miss Campbell, from Vauxhall, south London, said: 'Lorra and I were watching this movie Attack The Block and she thought it was brilliant.
'I thought it was rubbish and said that I thought I could write a better script, so we challenged each other to write something.'
Miss Campbell who currently works as a chef at the U.S Embassy in London said:
'I started typing on my Blackberry because it was something I had with me all the time and could easily just take out and start typing anywhere.'
The whole book was written using the BlackBerry MemoPad app which I only ever use for making a list of what I need to pick up from the shops. I'm feeling inspired now!
You can purchase The Kickdown Girls from Amazon here.
Thanks to Laurie for the tip.

Android 4.2 brings new security features to scan sideloaded apps


Talking about malware on a mobile platform is a tough thing to do right. Some of what you hear is real, and needs addressed responsibly, but so much of it is just FUD from folks trying to sell you something or get you to change your choice of device. We try to do the former, without downplaying the serious issues, but we also depend on users to be a little bit savvy and not do the things that lead to getting malware on the phone in the first place.
Thankfully, Google has stepped up and taken the reigns here. As ComputerWorld's JR Rapheal has pointed out, starting with Android 4.2 users now have the option to have every application that is being sideloaded scanned before installation. This uses the same technology as Google Play's Bouncer, and is designed to scan for and find malware -- both known cases and suspicious applications. If an app's fingerprint matches known malware, you'll be blocked from installing the application. If the app shows anything that the canner feels is suspicious, you're warned that it may be harmful and given the choice whether or not to install. The service is entirely opt-in, and your choice can be changed at any time through the device security settings.
We're big proponents of responsible reactions to and prevention of mobile security issues. In a time where companies release blurbs in the press that exaggerate the amount of malware (Android VP of engineering Hiroshi Lockheimer notes that actual dangerous malware is extremely rare on the Android platform) and push users to use their products, we're glad to see Google taking this sort of action. There is no substitute for common sense, but Android 4.2's new security scanning feature sounds like the right way forward.

Raising Your Technological Acumen

It can be challenging to stay up-to-date on all the latest technologies. While social media, smart phones and tablets have revolutionized how people communicate, many new devices are designed for ease of use. While learning about new technologies may seem confusing, the process is simplified by following a few simple rules.
The following guide provides simple tips and tricks for raising one’s technological acumen. It’s important to have an understanding of different social media networks, web tools and technologies and how they impact communication:
Facebook 
Facebook is an online social network service that allows people to communicate through public and private profiles. Facebook is like a telephone directory that includes lots of additional information about people. This includes photos, albums, hobbies, interests and more.
Twitter 
Twitter is a micro-blogging service that allows one to send short 140 character messages to other people. Twitter is often used for sharing real-time news about events around one’s home. Several recent uprisings in Libya and Egypt were shared with the world largely through Twitter.
Blog 
A blog is shorthand for a web log. A blog is an online news site or diary that is usually managed by a single person or company. An individual’s blog may talk about his or her favorite hobbies, interests or another subject he or she finds interesting. A blog for a company might discuss products and services that are about to hit the market.
Android 
Android is an open source mobile operating system developed by Google. Android currently powers over 300 million phones around the world. One of the main advantages of Android is the ability to run apps. There are a variety of apps available for Android, ranging from navigation systems to vocal auto-tuners.
iOS 
Apple’s iOS is the main competitor to Google’s Android. While Android can run on many different devices, iOS can only run on Apple devices like the iPad and iPhone. Like Android, iOS can run thousands of different mobile applications.
Cloud Computing 
New networking technologies have revolutionized computing for many businesses and individuals. Many modern computer applications and games don’t run on an individual’s computer. Instead, they run off of a website or a specialized server. For example, Google Docs offers functionality similar to Microsoft Office. Unlike MS Office, Google Docs is available through a web browser. This can be an excellent way to update documents when using shared computers.
Psychometric Exams
Many companies and business use a psychometric exam to gauge employee’s skills and personality before hiring. Many new jobs will require an individual to take an exam before hire in order to gauge their aptitude and skill levels. These exams can be an excellent predictor of an employee’s future performance.
It’s essential to understand how technology is changing the world. While new technologies may seem confusing, there are many ways one can learn about them as they hit the market and evolve. By joining social networks, reading blogs and using cloud computing, it’s possible to enter the new world of technology.
