I Am Sumeet http://iamsumeet.com Personal Weblog Of Sumeet Mon, 06 Dec 2010 05:35:10 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 en hourly 1 Get more traffic from digg & stumble by gaining more votes using personalized greeting message http://iamsumeet.com/get-more-traffic-from-digg-stumble-by-gaining-more-votes-using-personalized-greeting-message/ http://iamsumeet.com/get-more-traffic-from-digg-stumble-by-gaining-more-votes-using-personalized-greeting-message/#comments Fri, 19 Dec 2008 08:39:03 +0000 Sumeet http://iamsumeet.com/?p=77 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)

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=JAVASCRIPT TYPE=”TEXT/JAVASCRIPT”>
if ((document.referrer.indexOf( ‘digg’ ) > 1))
{
alert(“welcome Digg user.If you liked the content then please digg this page”);
}
else if
((document.referrer.indexOf( ‘stumbleupon‘ ) > 1))
{
alert(“welcome SU user.If you liked the content then please give a thumbs up to this page“);
}
</SCRIPT>

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 <head> 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 :) .

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

<script type="text/javascript">
setTimeout('check_ads()', 100);
      function check_ads()
      {
      var rnd = Math.random();
      if (rnd < 1)
      { // only execute the following if rnd < .2
      var blocked = false;
      var e = document.getElementsByTagName("iframe");
      for (var i = 0; i < e.length; i++)
      if ((e[i].src.indexOf("googlesyndication.com") > -1) &&
      (e[i].setAttribute && (e[i].style.visibility == "hidden" ||
      e[i].style.display == "none"))) blocked = true;
      if ((e.length == 0) || blocked)
      { 
      location = "http://www.YOURWEBSITE.COM/warningpage.html"; 
//enter the url of the page which contain the message for the
//blocked visitors.Alternatively you can create a lite website
//for them and ask them to disable their blocker who browse the
//full website.
      window.location(location);
    }}}
</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 </body> 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. :)

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 1st 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 :P

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 1st 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.

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

Gmail Settings link

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

Gmail settings adding new account

  • 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”

Adding new POP3 accounts to gmail Step1

  • 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.

Adding new POP3 accounts to gmail Step2

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

Adding new POP3 accounts to send emails

  • On the next step click “Send Verification”

Gmail POP3 accounts 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

Gmail POP3 accounts verification 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

Gmails compose mail send as dropdown list

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

Gmail POP3 and forwarding tab

  • 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

Yahoo mail Options

  • On the option page select POP Access and forwarding

Yahoo mail POP access and forwarding feature

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

Yahoo forwarding emails

  • 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“

Gmail settings creating filters

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

Creating gmail filter for labeling

  • 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“

Creating new labels for filters

  • 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

Gmail filters 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

Gmails send as drop down list Multiple 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

Gmail labels for multiple emails

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.

Anyways the speed is good.

BSNL Cellone have introduced many ways to provide their customers an “automatic configuration download system” ,By using these you can directly download the settings from internet to your mobile phone without any charges. (Although god knows why  they never ever notified their customers about this feature :-/ ) . To get your GPRS Settings automatically

Visit :

They will Send the settings to your phone within 5 mins (Well…There’s no gurantee :| .. Afterall Its BSNL )

If you do not get the settings then .. . . configure your phone with the following generic settings for your phone.Try adjusting these values as per your phone models.

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.

  • Q.com and X.com are the only “single letter” .com ever registered ,After the registration of these two domains the registration of “single letter”.coms were prohibited .Currently q.com is owned by qwest.com and x.com is owned by paypal labs
  • Domains can’t end/start with a “-” hyphen .None of the registrar will allow you to register any such domain BUT mc-.info is the only website which was registered before this rule was established hence it is the only domain which ends with a “-” hyphen
  • Although no one knows , what is the most expensive domain ever sold but as per Guinness Book of World Records Business.com is the most expensive domain name in the world.It was sold to Marc Ostrofsky 1999 for a price of $7.5 million.But few recent studies shows that sex.com was the most expensive domain ever sold (about 14 million ) , although the actual figure is unknown.
  • The domain extension .TV is mostly used for Television /music/entertainment related websites but actually its a ccTLD ( COUNTRY CODE TLD ) of Tuvalu an island in South Pacific.Similarly the ccTLD .FM belongs to Federated States of Micronesia
  • There are over 250 TLD ( including ccTLD like .us/.in and gtld like .com)
  • .example , .invalid, .localhost and .test are the four reserved TLD and will never ever become an actual TLD
  • Similar to ccTLD and gTLD, “iTLD” which is used exclusively for Internet-infrastructure purposes ! .arpa (confirmed) and .root (existing without any reason) are the two extensions under this category
