Bread crumb navigation is not only important for your visitor, but is also important for search engine when crawling on your website or blog. Breadcrumb navigation make robot easy to crawl.

The robot the I am referring in this post are the search engine "crawlers" they are also known as "web crawlers" cause they are the ones responsible for analyzing your website/blog ranking on major search engines.

Then Press CTRL+F on your browser then a textbox will pop out and search for the code below:

<b:if cond='data:post.title'>

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'>
<a href='http://yourblogadress/'>Home</a> »
<b:if cond='data:post.labels'>
<b:loop values='data:post.labels' var='label'>
<a expr:href='data:label.url' rel='tag'><data:label.name/></a>
<b:if cond='data:label.isLast != "true"'>,</b:if>
</b:loop>
»
</b:if>

So, you code will be like this:

<b:if cond='data:post.title'>
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'><a href='http://yourblogadress/'>Home</a> »<b:if cond='data:post.labels'><b:loop values='data:post.labels' var='label'><a expr:href='data:label.url' rel='tag'><data:label.name/></a><b:if cond='data:label.isLast != "true"'>,</b:if></b:loop>»</b:if><data:post.title/></b:if>

ADSENSE GUIDE TO PROFIT

noreply@blogger.com (BlogzComm ADMIN) — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 19:40:00 +0000

Do you know that almost every big blog or big site have the same adsense secret? If you don't know yet, today I would like to reveal some of the tips and tricks that I found and believe to be the secrets of adsense, something that I discovered on the net.

What is adsense? Adsense is the most popular Google ad serving application where site owners will gain revenue when they enable Google to run ad campaign on their site. Website owners will gain revenue based on ppc (paid per click) is when visitor clicks Google adsense on your site.

If you have join with adsense in 2001 and had monetized your site with adsense back then you probably will not have to face any problem as you are now in 2011. Since there are not many people who know about adsense and there are also less competitors on your niche.

But in 2011 and there are millions of adsense publisher out there and also millions of niche it quite difficult for you to compete. Nonetheless there is a behavior that exist among people on the net that is not good for adsense publisher that is call ad blind.

Ad blind mean that visitor that don't bother looking at ad don't like ad. Most of them who have this kind of behavior are the adsense publisher themselves (including me), web master, web designer,web developer and people who knows about adsense.

Therefor I hope these adsense secret tips and tricks will really help you to increase your adsense revenue by increasing your CTR, and CPC.

Google give a special treatment for their special Adsense publisher and made them Google adsense Elite Publisher. As an elite publisher Google allows you and help you to beautify your Adsense ads so it will blended well on your site and with relevant content. This really helpful for the publisher to add Adsense ad and not to scared their visitors. Check out these website ehow and digital inspiration. Therefor the key is really blend your ad with your content so it is really look like part of your content. I know some webmaster will encourage to do this because it looks like we are tricking or visitor. But actually if the ad is really relevant to with your content than I believe it's okay.

Don't build blogs on internet, computer or web building design niche If just only want to monetize your blog with Adsense. It is because most of your visitor will be webmaster, web developer, web designer, search engine services and so on that know about Adsense and in my opinion that most of them are ad blind. They have low possibility in clicking your ads. Finding a very unique niche that have decent number local and global monthly visitors that have high probability click through rate ratio.

You need to sacrifice in order to gain. This phrase is true and it can be applied to increase your adsense ctr by sacrificing your pageview. If you don't give your visitors any option to click on your link by minimizing your navigation link and other links beside adsense link it would be possible that your visitor will click on your ads.

Block all your low CPC ads that are visible on your blog. If you block all your low cps ads your adsense ads will only serve high paying keyword ads and or high CPC Ads on your blog. It will help to increase your revenue especially when your ctr is quite low. Install Google toolbar for internet explore that have Adsense preview tool. for high paying keyword and low paying keyword you can Google it.

Those are just some of the things I discovered upon learning more about Adsense and monetizing your blogs and websites for profits.

Just search for more on Google, anyways everything now can found on Google, like the most common phrase among us "Google It! :)

HOW TO CREATE A PAGE LOADING ANIMATION (FLASH)

noreply@blogger.com (BlogzComm ADMIN) — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 19:28:00 +0000

Page loading animation is necessary when a blog can not load fast. On page loadind there will be an animation with an explanation that the is still loading that you need to wait for a moment until loading process is complete and loading animation disappear.

This animation is useful to keep your reader to stay and wait until loading process complete and browser your blog.

This helps your visitor/viewers to know that the page that they are viewing is still loading.

Follow the steps below on how you can install it on your own blogs/websites. :)

Open Blogger
Go to Design
Click Edit HTML
Tick the Expand Template Widgets
Save your template in order for you to have a backup copy, just incase your theme didn't work you can undo it by installing the previous template.
Open Notepad create a text file then paste the code below.

var ld=(document.all);
var ns4=document.layers;
var ns6=document.getElementById&&!document.all;
var ie4=document.all;
if (ns4)
ld=document.loading;
else if (ns6)
ld=document.getElementById("loading").style;
else if (ie4)
ld=document.all.loading.style;
function init()
{
if(ns4){ld.visibility="hidden";}
else if (ns6||ie4) ld.display="none";
}

Then save the file as "preloader.js" without the quotations. :)
Next is to upload it on any free file hosting site preferably Google Code cause it is more reliable. :)
After uploading, get the URL of the JS file and save it for referrence.
Next is to go to Blogger -> Design -> Edit HTML then Press CTRL + F and search for the code below

<body>

Then all you have to do is to replace the <body> code with the code below.

<body onLoad='init()'>
<div id='loading' style='position:absolute; width:100% text-align:center;
top:300px;'> <img border='0'
src='pictureurl.gif'></div>
<script src='http://yoururl.googlecode.com/files/preloader.js'
type='text/javascript'>

Notice the RED on the script? Replace the RED line with the URL of of your "preloader.js" file that you uploaded a while ago.

For page loading images/gifs you can use your own flash images or choose the image provided below.

Always preview your blog post to view if the script or codes that you implemented are working perfectly. :)

HOW TO CREATE A COMMENTS COUNTER BUTTON

noreply@blogger.com (BlogzComm ADMIN) — Sun, 16 Oct 2011 20:01:00 +0000

Hello there its me again ^_^ and I'm here to teach you how to create your own

"COMMENTS COUNTER BUTTON"

A "Comment Counter Button" (BUBBLE) is a special button that encourage your visitors to participate and comment on your blog post and also helps to create a create feedback and credibility on your post.

Installing this Blogger hack to add a comment counter button only takes a few minutes. The changes needed to add the comment bubble to Blogger while not difficult do involve adding a small snippet of code to your Blogger template in two places.

"For this reason I strongly urge you to back up your Blogger template before attempting this blogger hack."

"STEPS ON HOW TO ADD A COMMENT COUNTER BUTTON"

Just simply follow the step-by-step guide in order for you to execute the right way on installing this blogger hack. Upon doing this you will be able to create a fully clickable comments counter button as the same line as the post title in your blogger blog and the alignment of the "bubble counter" will be aligned right by default. :)

Log in to Blogger and the blog you wish to apply these changes to
Select Design > Edit HTML
Click on Download Full Template to back up your template before you make any changes
Check the Expand Widget Templates box
In the CSS Styling section of your Blogger template and just before the ]]></b:skin>

.comments-button {
width : 48px;
height : 48px;
background : url(http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_vLeiVavkV_M/TRqeSsZYiYI/AAAAAAAADw0/NKcU4q-Vbq4/s200/comment-counter-bubble.png) no-repeat;
float : right;
font-size : 18px;
margin-top : -15px;
margin-right : 2px;
text-align : center;
padding-top:10px;
}

Now find the following block of code using CTRL key + F

<b:includable id='post' var='post'>
<div class='post hentry uncustomized-post-template'>
<a expr:name='data:post.id'/>
<b:if cond='data:post.title'>
<h3 class='post-title entry-title'>
<b:if cond='data:post.link'>
<a expr:href='data:post.link'><data:post.title/></a>

Copy this code block:

<b:if cond='data:post.allowComments'>
<a class='comments-button' expr:href='data:post.addCommentUrl' expr:onclick='data:post.addCommentOnclick'><data:post.numComments/></a>
</b:if>

Insert the above on the code before it. Your code now must be alike with the ones below.

<b:includable id='post' var='post'>
<div class='post hentry uncustomized-post-template'>
<a expr:name='data:post.id'/>
<b:if cond='data:post.title'>
<h3 class='post-title entry-title'>
<b:if cond='data:post.allowComments'>
<a class='comments-button' expr:href='data:post.addCommentUrl' expr:onclick='data:post.addCommentOnclick'><data:post.numComments/></a>
</b:if>
<b:if cond='data:post.link'>
<a expr:href='data:post.link'><data:post.title/></a>

Save template and then view blog to admire your new comment counter badge.

Well, that's it!! save your template and see you "Comments Counter Button" in action. :)

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

If you prefer you can replace the button image I have provided with your own image. You can find other buttons easily enough by doing a Google search with a term like "speech button icons".

Upload your button to a hosting service such as Photobucket and change the URL address of the image in the CSS styling section. The following example will render a smaller blue button. Note I have reduced the font size to accommodate the change. You may need to play around with the settings to get the font sizing right for your image.

.comments-button {
width : 48px;
height : 48px;
background : url(http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_vLeiVavkV_M/TRqepCLnncI/AAAAAAAADw8/Wrtzy05EJ7o/s200/comment-counter-bubble-2.png) no-repeat;
float : right;
font-size : 14px;
margin-top : -15px;
margin-right : 2px;
text-align : center;
padding-top:10px;
}

If you want your comment counter to be left aligned instead of right you will need to change the CSS styling from float:right; to float:left;

You can experiment more on how you will customize your comments counter button, the possibilities are limitless.. :)

Hope you enjoy another Blogger Tricks!

More to come!!

HOW TO CREATE A FLASH TAG CLOUD (BLOGUMUS)

noreply@blogger.com (BlogzComm ADMIN) — Sun, 16 Oct 2011 19:10:00 +0000

BLOGUMUS

"Blogumus" is an Flash based tag cloud widget which uses scripts converted from Roy Tanck's WP Cumulus plugin for Wordpress. I fell in love with Roy's original Cumulus plugin when I saw it, and simply had to learn how to convert this for use in Blogger powered blogs

In this tutorial you will be able to place your own "BLOGUMUS" tag cloud on your "BLOGGER" blog.

This widget uses a combination of JavaScript and Flash animation to parse and display your blog labels. Once installed in your template, it should work "out of the box" without any additional tweaking required, though of course you may prefer to change the variables for color, background and size if appropriate.

You should also be able to move the Label Cloud widget through the Page Elements page of your dashboard if you prefer display in a different layout location.

To see Blogumus in action, both Flash and Javascript must be installed and enabled for your internet browser. However, it does degrade relatively gracefully, and label links will still be clickable (though not animated) for those who do not use JavaScript of Flash (including search engine spiders).

*HOW TO INSTALL BLOGUMUS IN YOUR BLOGGER LAYOUT*

Installing Blogumus in your Blogger layout is surprisingly simple! You should only need to copy and paste a section of code to your Blogger template, though any tweaks for the style of display will require some manual editing. Here are the steps required to install Blogumus in your Blogger layout:

Go to "Layout" > "Edit HTML" in your Blogger dashboard, and search for the following line (or similar)

<b:section class='sidebar' id='sidebar' preferred='yes'>

Immediately after this line, paste the following section of code:

<b:widget id='Label99' locked='false' title='Labels' type='Label'>
<b:includable id='main'>
<b:if cond='data:title'>
<h2><data:title/></h2>
</b:if>
<div class='widget-content'>
<script src='http://sites.google.com/site/bloggerustemplatus/code/swfobject.js' type='text/javascript'/>
<div id='flashcontent'>Blogumulus by <a href='http://www.roytanck.com/'>Roy Tanck</a> and <a href='http://www.bloggerbuster.com'>Amanda Fazani</a></div>
<script type='text/javascript'>
var so = new SWFObject("http://sites.google.com/site/bloggerustemplatus/code/tagcloud.swf", "tagcloud", "240", "300", "7", "#ffffff");
// uncomment next line to enable transparency
//so.addParam("wmode", "transparent");
so.addVariable("tcolor", "0x333333");
so.addVariable("mode", "tags");
so.addVariable("distr", "true");
so.addVariable("tspeed", "100");
so.addVariable("tagcloud", "<tags><b:loop values='data:labels' var='label'><a expr:href='data:label.url' style='12'><data:label.name/></a></b:loop></tags>");
so.addParam("allowScriptAccess", "always");
so.write("flashcontent");
</script>
<b:include name='quickedit'/>
</div>
</b:includable>
</b:widget>

Then preview your template. If installed correctly, you should see the tag cloud appear in your sidebar. Then you are free to save your template, edit the colors and dimensions as required, or move it to a different location. :)

After you had installed the "BLOGUMUS" tag cloud on your blogger layout, the next thing you must do is to customize the look and fell of your "BLOGUMUS" tag cloud widget. :)

By default here are some of the basic attributes that you may change in order for your widget blend to your layout.

In this default installation, Blogumus includes the following preset variables:

Width is set to 240px
Height is set to 300px;
Background color is white
Test color is grey

Font size is "12" If you would prefer to make your widget wider, shorter, change the color scheme, etc, you will need to do this by editing various parts of the code. I'll go through these options in the order they appear in the widget code. Editing width and height The variables for width and height are found in this line of the script:

var so = new SWFObject("http://sites.google.com/site/bloggerustemplatus/code/tagcloud.swf", "tagcloud", "240", "300", "7", "#ffffff");

The width (currently 240) is highlighted in red, while the height (300px default) is highlighted in blue. These numerical values specify the width and height in pixels, so you can alter these of you prefer. Editing background color You can change the background color from white to any other color by altering the hex value in the same line:

var so = new SWFObject("http://sites.google.com/site/bloggerustemplatus/code/tagcloud.swf", "tagcloud", "240", "300", "7", "#ffffff");

For example, if you prefer a bright red background, you may replace #ffffff with #ff0000. Take a look at this page for a list of commonly used hex color codes. Alter the color of text By default, the text is set to display as dark grey ( hex value #333333). You can alter this variable in the following line:
You can use this tool in picking the right color swatch for your widget, use COLOR PICKER.

so.addVariable("tcolor", "0x333333");

Be aware that "tcolor" is a Flash variable and doesn't include the usual hash symbol of hex color codes. Be sure to only replace the numbers! Adjust the font size The maximum font size of tags is specified in this line:

so.addVariable("tagcloud", "<tags><b:loop values='data:labels' var='label'><a expr:href='data:label.url' style='12'><data:label.name/></a></b:loop></tags>");

You can alter this to ensure tags are displayed in a bigger or smaller font if you prefer by changing "12" to a larger or smaller number.

While making any of these changes, you should be able to preview your widget and be certain that your new choice of color, dimensions and background are suitable for your needs.

You can adjust and tweak everything depending on your needs. :) hope you enjoy this tutorial.

CREDITS:
Blogumus is based on the original WP Cumulus plugin by Roy Tanck, and was converted for use with Blogger layouts by myself. Please leave the credit links in the widget code intact. These will not be seen by the majority of your blog readers (as they will only display if JavaScript and Flash is not activated) but leaving these links intact is a great way of passing some link love on to Roy for all his hard work, and to inform other Blogger users that they can find the widget codes on this site.
Support/IssuesIf you have any problems installing or using this widget, please leave your comments below or direct these to the Blogger Buster forums as Roy will be unable to provide support for installation in Blogger blogs!

RequirementsFor Blogumus to display properly in your template, you will need to have Flash Player 7 or higher. You can download the latest Flash Player plugin for your browser from Adobe. I'm not sure that this installation will support special characters as tags (only Latin characters supported at present). If you do experiecce issues with labels displaying incorrectly, please let me know. I'll try to add more support, but have very little experience using Flash!

BEST SITES TO CREATE YOUR BLOGS

noreply@blogger.com (BlogzComm ADMIN) — Sun, 16 Oct 2011 09:28:00 +0000

A blog (a blend of the term web log) is a type of website or part of a website. Blogs are usually maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. Entries are commonly displayed in reverse-chronological order. Blog can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.

Most blogs are interactive, allowing visitors to leave comments and even message each other via widgets on the blogs and it is this interactivity that distinguishes them from other static websites.

Many blogs provide commentary on a particular subject; others function as more personal online diaries. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, Web pages, and other media related to its topic. The ability of readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs. Most blogs are primarily textual, although some focus on art (art blog), photographs (photoblog), videos (video blogging or vlogging), music (MP3 blog), and audio (podcasting). Microblogging is another type of blogging, featuring very short posts.

As of 16 February 2011, there were over 156 million public blogs in existence.

WORDPRESS > This is my second choice as a blogging platform. WordPress.com does not provide users to upload new themes, plugins and this is main drawback of using WordPress.com. Apart from this, if you are starting your blog for earning some bucks then I am extremely sorry, WordPress.com does not allow users to put any type of ads on their blog.

WEEBLY > One of the simplest website for you to create a blog. Just register an account, select your theme and start blogging.

LiveJournal’s blogging features include those found in similar blogging sites (multiple authors, commenting, calendars, and polls). However, LiveJournal differentiates itself from other blogging sites by its WELL-like features of a self-contained community and some social networking features similar to other social networking sites.

BLOGETERY > Blogetery.com offers free blog hosting powered by latest WordPress version. You can easily publish text, podcasts, pictures, media files and more with just a single mouse click.

BLOGSOME > It’s easy, choose any kind of WordPress theme, upload photos, personalize your design and start blogging right now.

What the blogsome website intends is to offer a clean service, so when users are found to be using stolen content from other websites as a means of generating traffic, they immediately remove this blogs and cease service.

EBUBLOGS > The World’s most popular education blogging service… Edublogs lets you easily create & manage student & teacher blogs, quickly customize designs and include videos, photos & podcasts – it’s safe, easy and secure

TUMBLR > Tumblr is a microblogging platform that allows users to post text, images, videos, links, quotes and audio to their tumblelog, a short-form blog. Users can follow other users, or choose to make their tumblelog private. The service emphasizes ease of use.
