Get more traffic from digg & stumble by gaining more votes using personalized greeting message

Sumeet — Fri, 19 Dec 2008 08:39:03 +0000

Social Bookmarking Website like Digg and stumbleupon are one of the best source of traffic for your website.In fact about 70% of one of my website’s traffic comes from stumble.

The problem with the traffic from social networking websites is,that its not very consistent.You need to have more votes to get more traffic. In case of Digg.com you need to have more digs where as for Stumbleupon you need more “thumbs up or reviews” to get a consistent traffic.

Let’s see how SU works.You give your thumb’s up to a page. Initially SU refers low traffic to that page (as per my knowledge ,initially they refer old and top stumblers to that page). If they give a thumbs up to that page then you get more traffic from SU until the ratio of THUMBS-UP per REFERS remains high.

So I coded a very simple javascript to greet users coming from the social networking websites and asking them to give a thumbs-up OR digg to that page.I tested this script for about one month and its worked very nicely,especially in case of Stumbleupon votes.

Its a very simple javascript which check the page refer using ( document.referrer) and an if-else ladder to find the case.Then a popup dialog box (using alert function) is used to display the message.

CODE : (just for reference : DONT USE THIS CODE ,DOWNLOAD IT FROM THE LINK BELOW)

Download

Similarly you can add others if you want.You can also add google/yahoo/msn to greet users from search engines,but it makes no sense to greet users from search engine.

I am planing to code a wordpress plugin with this script after my exams get over. Although you can use this script directly on your wordpress blog. Just place this script in the tag of the template. If you are using Joomla then you can use this script or you can also use a extension known as mfReferral

If you want to check this script, then you can use RefControl .

Current issues with this script:

Doesn’t work on IE6.I guess IE6 Doesn’t pass refer data to JavaScript.You will have to use php.
This script cannot sidtinguish between subdomain and domains.So something.blogspot.com and blogspot.com are the same for this script.

Please comment if you find this script useful .

Block The Visitors Who Are Using Ad-Blockers

Sumeet — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 08:40:38 +0000

While checking your website’s stats you may have thought that, although my site has a good traffic but my ad revenue very low, why so?? Then you might have tried all the different positioning, color and format of ads to make them more attractive.

Actually the main problem is ,even you make changes to your ad formats to make it more visible and attractive, majority of the visitors do not want to see them. Most of the regular Internet users uses ad-blockers. Especially in case of FireFox, people use an add-on named – Ad-block plus [Even I am using it :p ].

Ad Blocker gets both positive and negative reactions.Majority of people love it, as it blocks all those unwanted ads .On the other hand the webmasters hate this add-on as it disables the source of income for ad supported websites.

Let’s see what we can do to block/redirect these vis….itors.
While searching for blocking scripts I came across two nice solutions

Both of them work very nicely but they are a bit complicated and only work with Adblock Plus on firefox.

Hence I worked out a very simple JavaScript which redirect these kinds of visitors to some other webpage. This script uses code form Adblock Detection Script .

This script checks whether adsense ads were displayed on that page or not. If not, then it redirects the visitor to another page.You can create a warning page for such visitors but what I will recommend you to create a special “lite” version of your website for such visitors and ask them to disable their adblocker to browse the whole website.Please keep in mind blocking visitors means you may see a declination in your traffic but you may earn more revenue as you will make them disable their adblocker.

Here is the code of the script



If you are unable to see the whole code :
 Download the text file from here

To use this script simple copy paste the code blow, just above your tag OR your Adsense ad code.

A working demo is available here

DEMO Page

(Please disable your adblocker before continuing else you will directly land on the warning page).

The issues with this script are:

If the visitor use their browsers back button from the warning page then the script fails.
Only works with Adsense because it only checks the access of googlesyndication.com from the webpage. Although you can replace it for other advertisers
I have no idea whether Adsense allows these kinds of scripts or not.

Please do comment on this script.

Prevent your Paypal account from getting limited

Sumeet — Sun, 03 Aug 2008 08:45:06 +0000

Almost every day hundreds of threads are created on webmaster’s forums about limited PayPal account. I am using the PayPal account from last two years and my account got limited once. I contacted their support several times about this issue and came to know about various reasons why an account gets limited.

Although once your account gets limited there’s no way to restore it without sending them the required documents. So it’s always better to take care about your account so that it doesn’t get limited. Here are a few major reasons why so many PayPal account gets limited.

New account and unverified accounts: New accounts, especially unverified accounts often get limited just after their 1^st transaction. PayPal monitor these accounts very closely so it’s always better to use correct account details while registering so that you can provide the required documents in case your account gets limited. Verifying your account is always a good idea. All you need is a valid credit card. Virtual Credit Cards (VCCs) works quite nicely for verification but using VCCs for PayPal verification process is illegal and you may lose your account if they come to know about this.

Account verification : If your account is unverified then it have the highest chances for getting limited, cause unverified accounts are often used by scammers for money laundering. Verifying accounts is quite easy and it gives all the information about your real address, bank account and other financial details to paypal so if you don’t verify your account then PayPal may assume that you are doing something phishy. Who knows maybe the biggest scam of this century

Using proxy or using multiple IPs: Accessing a premium/personal accounts from various IP address or account you account from proxy will surely get our account limited. Premium and personal PayPal accounts are for single users. For multiple users opt for Paypal Business account.

Accessing PayPal from your mobile : Don’t use your mobile browser to access https://paypal.com directly. Instead use https://mobile.paypal.com.But before that, you will have to activate your PayPal mobile Account .Visit PayPal mobile for more details. Even using the browsers like Opera mini OR Teashark is risky cause both of them uses proxy server for browsing.

Amounts withdrawal: Limit your 1^st amount withdrawal to a small amount especially if you have an unverified account. Withdrawing a very heavy amount from your brand new account seems like some kind of scam to PayPal so limit your first PayPal withdrawal to something like 100$ and increase the amount slowly.

Account Details: Don’t change your account details frequently. This will raise a flag on your account. Keep all the details current and make sure that you have all the required documents to prove all those account details. A photo I-card with your address or a utility bill with your name and address is sufficient.

Number of disputes : If you have any dispute on your PayPal account then try to solve then ASAP and try to keep the number of disputes below two at a same time. Too many complains or a dispute regarding your account is not good for you.

Dealing with large amounts : If you are dealing with very huge amounts say about 1000USD then its always recommended to split up the receiving and withdrawal process to small amounts.If possible then always try to split up the payments below 500USD.Also do not try to withdraw the whole amount immediately after receiving.

Even after all these precautions your account gets limited then don’t waste your time but sending them “you suck” emails OR creating “PAYPAL IS A FRAUD” threads on forums. Just mail them the required documents and your account will get unbanned within 48 hours.

Manage multiple email accounts from single Gmail account

Sumeet — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 15:07:02 +0000

Maintain and Manage multiple email accounts from one Gmail account

Probably you have 100s of email IDs, One for your official works, one for personal usage, one for spam protection, one for registering on various sites, one for your website and so on. Although having multiple emails gives the convenience to do your work systematically and saves your from unwanted emails/SPAM but it’s a real big mess when you have to login each of them regularly just to check mails. Life is already complicated, why make it worse. Here’s a method to maintain multiple email accounts from a single Gmail account. You will be able to receive and send mail from that single Gmail account using all of your IDs. First of all you will require a Gmail account .If you don’t have one then create one by visiting gmail.com. It’s free and you don’t require any invitation. The signup procedure is easy and fast. In this example we are considering 3 email Ids

1 in Gmail
1 in yahoo pro mail (free accounts doesn’t have forwarding feature)
1 pop3 account ( your website etc)

After going through this guide you will be able to manage all your email accounts form one single Gmail account .You will be able to receive all your mails on different IDs to this single Gmail account and will also be able to send emails from different ids using this same Gmail account. For example you will be able to receive all the mails in

iamsumeet2@gmail.com (Gmail account ),
iamsumeet1@yahoo.com (yahoo pro account ) and
iamsumeet@iamsumeet.com (POP3 Account )

on a single Gmail account ( in this case it will be iamsumeet1@gmail.com ).And you will also be able to send emails as iamsumeet2@gmail.com OR iamsumeet1@yahoo.com OR iamsumeet@iamsumeet.com from the single account iamsumeet1@gmail.com . For sake of simplicity we are going to call

iamsumeet1@gmail.com as the master account
iamsumeet2@gmail.com and child1 account
iamsumeet1@yahoo.com as child2 account
iamsumeet@iamsumeet.com as child3 account

Now let’s start

STEP: 1 ADDING A POP3 ACCOUNT TO YOUR …GMAIL ACCOUNT

STEP1(a)To retrieve mails from your POP 3 server

First of all login your master Gmail account (the mail ID from which you are going to maintain all the other email accounts) and click settings

Now click on the “Accounts” tab and select “GET MAIL FROM OTHER ACCOUNTS” (Highlighted by green color on the image given below)

Gmail provides a feature by which you can retrieve emails, from any email services who provides a POP 3 server .In our case we are going to use this feature to retrieve mails from our website’s ID iamsumeet@iamsumeet.com (CHILD3 ACCOUNT )

To do so “Click add another mail account” On the next screen type your email ID ( in our case its iamsumeet@iamsumeet.com ) and click “NEXT STEP”

Fill all the details about your POP3 Server (contact your mail host OR web host for these details) and check the “Label incoming messages” option then click “Add Account” You should get the following message.

This message means that now you will be able to read all the mails on your CHILD3 ACCOUNT, on this “MASTER ACCOUNT”

STEP 1(b) To Send emails as your POP3 ID from Gmail account

Now it will be great if you can also send email from your “CHILD3 ID” using this ‘MASTER ACCOUNT’. To do so, on this screen select “Yes, I want to be able to send mail as iamsumeet@iamsumeet.com.” and click ‘NEXT STEP’

Fill up the details and click next

On the next step click “Send Verification”

On the next step click “Close Window”

Now return to your inbox and wait for the verification email .I will take about 20 mins for Gmail to retrieve that email from your POP 3 server. If everything goes fine then you will receive the conformation email

Open that email and click the verification link on that email. From now onwards you will be able to send your mails form your POP3 server using your “MASTER GMAIL ACCOUNT”

To verify this click “Compose mail” and you will notice a new option labeled “FROM” using which you can select the senders email

STEP: 2 ADDING ANOTHER GMAIL ACCOUNT AND YAHOO ACCOUNT TO YOUR MASTER GMAIL ACCOUNT

STEP2 (a)To retrieve mails from your gmail(child1) and yahoo(child2) accounts

Now its time to add the remaining “child1 account (iamsumeet2@gmail.com)” and “child2 account (iamsumeet1@yahoo.com)“.To add your child1 account (Gmail account ) You will have to logout from your “MASTER ID” and will have to login to your CHILD1 ID (iamsumeet2@gmail.com)

Click on the setting link

Now click “Forwarding and POP/IMAP” tab and on that page check “Forward a copy of incoming mail to” and type your MASTER EMAIL ID there, In this case its iamsumeet1@gmail.com

Click “Save changes” button and logout from this ID.
Now log in to your Yahoo Pro account. Some regional yahoo IDS like “youremail@yahoo.CO.IN” (Yahoo INDIA) provides email forwarding feature for free on all the accounts. After logging in click OPTIONS located on the top-left

On the option page select POP Access and forwarding

On the next page fill out your master email ID on the forwarding box (In this case its iamsumeet1@gmail.com )

Now logout from your yahoo account and login your MASTER GMAIL account (iamsumeet1@gmail.com)

We have forwarded both out child email IDs (iamsumeet2@gmail.com and iamsumeet1@yahoo.com ) to our master ID iamsumeet1@gmail.com.Now you will be able to receive all your email on these two child accounts on your master Gmail account. But we need to create labels in our master account to manage on these forwarded emails easily. To do this ,after login in your master Gmail account (iamsumeet1@gmail.com) click settings

And select the Filters tab.Now click “Create new filter“

On the filter form enter your “CHILD1ID” (iamsumeet2@gmail.com) on the “To:” box, then click “Next Step“

On the next page check mark “Apply the label” option and from the dropdown select “new label” and type your “CHILD1” email ID on the “label name“

Click “OK” and press the “Create filter” button. Repeat the same step for your “CHILD2 ID” (iamsumeet1@yahoo.com) and create a label titled iamsumeet1@yahoo.com

Your “FILTER TAB “Should be showing a similar following summary

STEP2(b) To send emails as your Gmail (child1) and yahoo (child2) accounts

Now we need the feature to send email as “CHILD1” and “CHILD2 ID” from our “MASTER GMAIL ID” .To do so Click the setting link on the top right hand side of your MASTER GMAIL account, go to accounts tab and click “Add Another Email Address”

On the next BOX fill our “CHILD1 ID” (as shown below) and click NEXT STEP

Next is the verification step, So click the “send verification” button

And close the window. Repeat the same steps for your CHID2 ID.

Now logout your “MASTER GMAIL ACCOUNT” and Log in your “CHILD1 ID” to check the verification email (BTW you can also find the same email right on your “MASTER GMAIL ACCOUNT” cause you have already forwarded all the emails. It should be there by now ).Click on the verification link of that email.(I am not posting the screenshot of this step).

After conforming both the CHILD accounts .Login to your “MASTER GMAIL ACCOUNT” and click the COMPOSE link. Now on the dropdown list you should see all your email IDS from which you can send emails

So everything is done. You will now manage all your mails on different IDs from your “MASTER GMAIL ACCOUNT” (iamsumeet1@gmail.com ) and will also be able to send emails from different ids using this same Gmail account. You can easily categorize and manage your emails on these IDS using the labels

I know this tutorial was a little messy cause there are too many email IDs involved but there’s no alternative to this. I tried posting screenshots of all the important steps. If you have any doubt OR you find any error/mistake then pleases OR you have some better suggestions then please comment. Your comments will be helpful.

Build links and Sell links on your high pageranked pages

Sumeet — Tue, 06 May 2008 10:32:32 +0000

Pagerank A very special criteria maintained by google to rank the importance of a webpage OR website.A Pagerank is one of the many important things a webmaster cannot ignore. In fact it is one of the the main motive of SEO.Pagerank is also a very important factor to analyze the overall value of a website.

Google measure the pagerank of a website by calculating the number of backlinks to that website OR webpage and hence it give rise to “Link Exchange”,”Reciprocal link placement” and even encourage “Link sales”.Many webmasters sell the links on high Pageranked pages .”Paid reviews” OR ” Paid Blog posts” works on the same concept of link building.So if you are also considering selling your links then head on to digitalpoint forums.BUT make a note that google penalize sites who sell their links so, try not to mention your website/Webpage’s address on the thread.

Also Google doesn’t index sites who are involved in “link exchange programs” SO don’t go near link farms, If you want to exchange link then find websites related to your content and EMAIL the webmaster personally.Its a good idea to say a few good things about their website and to mention the benefits of link exchange.A three way link exchange will be a good idea cause if Google finds a reciprocal link on both the website then it may penalize both websites for link exchange.

So Now if you want to exchange or sell your links then make a note of the pagerank of all your pages.You can check your page rank on the google toolbar ,and note them on a Excel sheet.BUT This process will be very painful if you have too many pages , So use the http://checkbulkpagerank.com to check page rank of all your pages in bulk.You can also export the results in CVS Format.

Now as you are ready with the reports ,use google and find the websites which are related to your content and start emailing them.Also if you want to sell them then use the forums link digitalpoint and make a new post on their “LINK SALES” Section ,Don’t forget to mention your pagerank and the amount on the thread title,Also mentioning the Niche of your page in the thread title.

Tips : How to earn rapidshare points easily !

Sumeet — Tue, 15 Jan 2008 19:03:08 +0000

How to earn rapidshare points

So as you have reached to this page I guess you are an downloading junkie and you know what rapidshare is!

Also most probably you know about the free and premium rapidshare accounts.Let me start from “what is rapidshare?”
Rapidshare is a file hosting service which provides a hassle free and very easy feature of uploading your files so that you can share those with others .Alternatively the downloaders can call it very annoying and a comparatively costly file sharing service.There’s another definition : Rapidshare is a file hosting monopoly ,It have a monopoly over all the other file hosting sites

There is a limitation like waiting time,Single file at a time etc. for those users who use the free mode of downloading from rapidshare.whereas the premium account doesn’t have any such limitation.

A premium account cost about 10 USD for one month account alternatively you can also create a premium account from the rapidshare points which you have earned from your collectors account.You require 10000 points to get one month of rapidshare premium account.

You will get 1 rapidshare point/download if the downloader downloads the file which you have uploaded, via that rapidshare link as a free user AND your file is bigger than 1 MB also the downloader has generated less than 5 points in the last hour.

Seems like impossible??! Nop! actually it’s not that difficult.

Let me share some tips to get tones of rapidshare points easily BUT first . .. . . . create an collector account where you can upload your files.HOW ??!! .Just upload a regular file via the home page of rapidshare.com.After the upload you will be asked automatically if you want to have a free Collector’s Account.

The key for Rapidshare points is to upload files ! The more you upload the more you points earn.So the question arises “what all you can upload” ?

On a broader sense you have five options :

Movies

Music

Games

Applications

E-books

Movies – Generally movies are of 700mb-1.4GB ( 1 CD to 2 CD) so ask your self, if you are free downloader then will you download 7 -14 files with all those limitations like time limitation per IP,single file at a time etc ??
No you wont!
Most of the free users are attracted to low file size downloads ,In the case of movies,Upload your files in the form of RMVB format which is the most preferred format of free users ! Believe me ! RMVB format movies have the same quality but low file size about half that of an avi file most movies are about 350~400 MB.you can google for rmvb converters there are many available

Music and audios – This will also help you fetching rapidshare points BUT less than rmvb movies because most of the albums are of single archive,so only one point !! But movies are of 3-4 parts so you earn more points as a user will have to download all the parts.

Games - That’s a strict no!no! if you are uploading files for rapidshare points they fetch the least points cause most of the games are about 1GB means atleast 10 parts and with a time limitation up to 2 hours after one file download in free mode .None of the free rapidshare user is going to download a game which will take a minimum of about 20 hours of waiting time !

Applications and softwares – this is the best option !Go to download.com OR any downloading service .have a look at the top list and upload all those application.applications are of very small size and is the most preferred download of free rapidshare downloaders.

E-books – They are not in huge demand BUT you may consider them

Now the question arises how to spread the links for earing more rapidshare points ?
The answer is there are many communities OR forums on the internet which share movies music and application ,They may be illegal OR legal.The choice is yours weather you want to share legal files OR copyrighted files (which will obviously generate more point BUT is illegal)

Let Google answer about which forums to choose :

Best of luck Please post your more tips in the comments

Redirecting the root of website to a folder using htaccess

Sumeet — Fri, 14 Dec 2007 08:33:28 +0000

Many people make a common mistake while installing the blogs on their domain,What they do is they install the blog on some folder rather than the root of the website.Hence the address of the blog becomes something like www.mydomain.com/blog without keeping any content on the root of the site (i.e. mydomain.com)

That’s not the only case,Many times by misake OR unknowingly they make their whole website on some other folder rather than the root.and It become a mess to again shift the website one tree down

BUT there is one thing which could solve this issue without moving the whole website,That’s redirecting the users from the root -> to that folder.

Redirection can be made using META tags or using .htaccess file .Use of .htaccess is recommended in redirection cases as many search engine penalizes for using a META refresh tags( as it is mostly used by keyword spammers)

So coming to the point, consider you own a domain “mydomain.com” And you want to redirect all the traffic form “mydomain.com” to “mydomain.com/blog” then use these codes on the .htaccess file on the root (mydomain.com/)

These codes can also be used if you want .. .. . to change your default web page to some other internal folder page.(although htaccess default directory can be used)

In all these examples mydomain.com/ is considered as root AND /blog/ is considered as the internal folder

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^$ /blog/ [R=301]

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^([/]+)$ blog/$1 [L,R=301]

RedirectMatch permanent ^/$ http://mydomain.com/blog/

Although I will recommend to use the 1st one.
