How to Get a Debit Card or Credit Card to make online Payments from Nigeria

2013-06-05T07:19:00.002-07:00

Reasons why Paypal hasn't include Nigeria in their member list as at the time of writing this post, i really don't know. But as a result of this hurdle, we can still purchase what we want and pay for services online. A handful of Banks in Nigeria like UBA, GTBank and First Bank or Zenith Bank can help you pay for any services you want online. By issuing you a Prepaid card or Credit Card, Debit Card or simply an ATM Card which you can use for your online payment provided they are acceptable by the website you are transacting with. In one of my post, i had written on How to use GTBank Naira Master Card to purchase online. But here, i will like to discuss on the process it takes to get a good Debit Visa Card form UBA.

If you have been wondering whether it will be possible to purchase anything online, reading this post now will clear your doubts. Here i will show you how to Get a UBA debit visa card for online shopping.

How to Get a UBA Debit Visa Card.

UBA debit visa card which was sometime called UBA visa Africard, is an electronic payment wallet card or a credit card you can use to make payments online. You can also use this visa card to withdraw your funds at any ATM machine in Nigeria provided it has the Visa logo on it. To get this card, simply walk into UBA Bank and ask the customer care that you need a card to purchase something online. But before you do this, please consider the following below.

What to consider Before getting a Debit visa card.

The amount you intend to load in the card ie the amount you are supposed to pay in its Naira equivalent.

What type of card you want to get.

How long will it take you to get the card.

Also note that you will be charged a commission for the card.

Most Banks don't require having an account with them before giving you a card. So ask before you request for it.

At UBA, you are likely to need the Following Requirements.

A Utility Bill (PHCN or Water Bill) bearing your real name or at least surname name.

A Government issued ID card (National ID card, International Passport or Driver's License)

You will also need a passport sized photograph.

Then you will be given a form to fill, enter the necessary information required meticulously. If you only intend to use your card to purchase something online then deactivate the rest options by clicking on it and leaving web activated. Now you will be asked the type of card you want.

Types of UBA Debit Visa Card you can get.

UBA issued two different types of debit card, the personalized card and the non-personalized card. The personalized card comes with your name embossed on it and it takes a couple of days or even weeks to get it. But the non-personalized card does not and you can get it that same day you request for it. Apart from this, everything works the same.

After filling and submitting the form, you will be given an account number that is associated with the card. When you pay money into the account number, your card will be credited with the same amount you deposited into the account number. You can then purchase anything online using this UBA debit visa card or simply withdraw your money via any ATM machine as you so wish.

I believe now you can get your UBA visa card and purchase anything you want online. If you still have any question, please use the comment box below.

Nigeria"s Emergency Number 7411 Launched but not working on all Networks

2013-05-25T10:09:00.002-07:00

An Emergency call number linking to the Police, Fire Service and Federal safety Corps has been launched in Nigeria. The emergency call number named 7411 bureau of information will be provided live to all Nigerian citizen who can call at anytime when they need services like finding people, driving directions, tax advices, address finders, health histories, record back-up, business listing, weather forecasts, reverse phone tracker, job finder and more.
This emergency call number will be working 24-hours and Nigerian residents can simply dial 7411 on their mobile phones to get these amazing services at your reach.

A discussion on Nairaland confirm this. However, as at the time of writing this post, i tried most of these Nigerian Network and only Etisalat seem to go through and the call conversation was perfect. Currently, MTN, GLO, and AIRTEL which i also tried are not working. So if any of the network work for you, please tell us through the comment box below.

What is Low Quality Traffic and How to Avoid it

2013-05-24T13:51:00.001-07:00

A lot of bloggers has been complaining about having low quality traffic on their site which has resulted in either Google Adsense or Yahoo's media.net ads program putting a ban to their account. Some webmasters have already view media.net as the biggest scammers among ad network programs on the internet because they immediately ban your media.net account for low quality traffic when you reach payout.

Even though 99% of your traffic is from Google search engine. Here we shall vividly explain what amounts to low quality traffic and how to avoid them totally if you are having an issue of low quality traffic with media.net ads network.

So what is Low Quality Traffic?

As a blogger, you will never experience what low quality traffic is until you start placing adverts on your blog. In a simple terms, low quality traffic which can also be refer to as poor quality traffic means displaying your product or service via adverts to a huge number of audience that are not necessarily interested in what you are advertising to them. That kind of traffic is refer to as low or poor in quality.

A Practical Explanation of Low Quality Traffic

If you blog about a particular niche that is targeted in the US, you will definitely need visitors from US and not countries like China, Russia, Brazil nor Nigeria either. If 95% of your traffic are from these countries other than US, this amounts to low quality traffic because these traffic are not likely to convert.

Perhaps, a practical example will suffice. If you take a look at Nairaland.com which is a popular forum in Nigeria with over one million users and still counting, is targeted in Nigeria. If for instant a 'laser tooth whitening' clinic in Michigan puts an advert on Nairaland, the traffic/audience the forum pulls to the advert landing page will be huge but poor because 98% of the traffic will not be interested in the clinic services.

Few who are interested will have to travel to Michigan for the services and you know what that means right? No one will like to acquire that huge expenses hence look for another alternative and that defeats the essence of advertising on Nairaland in the first place.

Both Google Adsense and Media.net takes low quality traffic very serious but media.net takes it more simply because they are Pay Per Impression program and sees low quality traffic as detrimental to its advertisers interest. For example, if a visitor from China can view ads meant for visitors from US but the advertisers are still charged for the impression made, i think that is unfair. Unlike Google Adsense where the visitor will only have to click on the ads before the advertisers are charged.

According to Yahoo, quality traffic means “visitor traffic which after clicking through from your site, results in a positive action by the visitor on the site of the advertiser” so anything that falls short of it is regard as low quality traffic. You can read more discussion on low quality traffic at Google Adsense forum for a better understanding.

So what Constitute Low or Poor Quality Traffic

1. Participating in traffic exchange programs results to low quality traffic and invalid clicks according to Google Adsense. If you are using any of these sites like 2leep.com, MGID, Zaparena, Wahoha, Profitclicking etc, to drive traffic to your site you better stop now or risk you account been terminated.
Meanwhile, receiving traffic from social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, Digg and Stumbleupon is valid traffic as at the time of publishing this post.

Read this: How to make your blog post go spiral on Stumbleupon

2. Traffic from pay to click, auto surf, or paid to surf programs are pure low in quality.

3. Purchasing traffic which sometimes send artificial traffic instead of human traffic to your website can result to low or poor quality traffic because they usually generate clicks and impressions from bots or by providing incentives for users who visit sites or click on ads.

So How to Minimize Low Quality Traffic

1. Building a good content on a targeted niche.

2. The issue of getting huge traffic is not only getting 95% of your traffic from search engine but whether the traffic from search engines to your site are coming from the targeted region your advertiser need.

3. Do not partner with third party traffic services like the ones mentioned above.

4. Blocking IP addresses from countries in other to decrease your low quality traffic is an idea way of minimizing low quality traffic. If you are using blogger services, you should read this post: How to block IP addresses from accessing my blogger blog.

The Effect of Low Quality Traffic on your blog

Like I said before, the issue of low quality traffic only comes when you start advertising on your site otherwise it won’t matter what kinda traffic you are getting. If you are selling a particular product or services on your blog, you will have to target the right people who will eventually buy your product. If you are targeting the wrong people, then you won't be able to convert any sales. It also applies to the adverts you place on your site.

iPhone 5 and Samsung Galaxy S3: Which is the Best?

2013-05-23T13:39:00.000-07:00

Well we all have different preferences in devices and other things but here, I will only review the iPhone 5 and Samsung Galaxy mobile phone devices. A friend of mine was asking me today that he has money to upgrade his phone and he need to choose between an iPhone 5 and a Samsung galaxy S3.

Well buying expensive mobile phones is the craziest thing ever if you intend only to use it just for making calls and sending text messages. For the techy guys that surf the internet and blog a lot like me, i think it is pertinent to go for a phone that fits your style. So here, I have compile a few reasons why you should go for either the iPhone 5 or a sleek looking Samsung galaxy S3 when contemplating which of them to buy.

For Blogging

If you are the type of guy that love surfing the net and blogging a lot, then I suggest you go for a Samsung Galaxy S3. This is because, it supports a lot of blogging apps. If you use blogger as your blogging platform, you should download the Blogger Android apps for your Samsung galaxy from Android apps store.

For Game Freaks

If you are a game lover and you like playing games with your phones, then I suggest you go for the iPhone 5 instead. iPhone 5 has a lot of interesting games and applications than Samsung Galaxy S3. Over 900,000 applications can be downloaded from Apple store unlike the Samsung Galaxy S3.

Amazing Apps

Here i think both smartphones have great applications you can use. Some few apps for Samsung galaxy S3 includes the Swiftkey X, Skype, Adobe Photoshop touch, Spotify, Instagram, Norton antivirus, Angry birds, Scalado album and more. You can also check out some few interesting apps for iPhone 5 here.

But personally i think the iPhone 5 is better in all aspect. It is a device made for the 21^st century and it fits in perfectly. or what do you think? lets here your opinion through the comment box below.

Hello guys, today i wish to share with you some tips on how to build an income generating blog from scratch and Rank high on Google search using just article marketing. Earning money from blogs is not that easy as most people think but trusts me, you can really make a good profit been a full or part time blogger. All you need to start making good money from blogging is TRAFFIC because that is the key to making it online.

Traffic is king in online business and if you want to make it then you must find a steady way of generating a good traffic. Article marketing is one of the key ways of getting this quality traffic and backlinks which am going to discuss here.

Inside this post, I will like to share with you how to make money through blogging and rank your site to first page of Google Search Engine using article marketing.

Steps 1.
Decide on the platform you want to start Blogging.
Worpress or blogger? You are at liberty to choose which blogging platform suits you. Me i go for blogger because of its simplicity but if you really need maximum control of your content and also access more SEO features, then i suggest you go for a self host Wordpress blogging platform.

Step 2.
Buy a good domain name for your blog.
You can find and buy a good domain name from www.namecheap.com or www.web4africa.net. I currently used syskay.com for one of my blog but people has been complaining of some glitch with their services. You can also get one at Godaddy.com or buy an expired domain with a lot of traffic if you have the money to pay for it. Domain name is very cheap $10-12 only can get you one per year.

Step 3.
Start Building Baclinks.
Backlinks are your votes online, the more your backlinks, the higher your rankings goes. The next step teaches you one way to build backlinks to your site. But you will have to nudge Google to index your backlinks faster so read this post How to make Google index your backlinks faster. Backlinks are crucial in building your ranks know that.

Step 4.
Build Solid Articles.
You will need a lot of articles so that you will distribute them to article directories and link back to your site. Google loves backlinks a lot and it also gives your site credibility especially when they are coming from authority sites.

You should read one of my post on Google Author rank and Authorship to get more knowledge about turning your blog into an authority site.

Betterstill, you can hire someone to write some few articles well optimized with keywords for you. You will need at least 20 articles for a start.

You should also use windows live writer to write a pillar article Then re-write the article into different copies, you can use spinner to do that if you wish but don't use them without proper alteration because Google can penalize you quickly.

Now publish the original article on your blog then publish the rest on forums and submit another as guest post and submit another copy to 100 directories using submission software.
I recommend ASH (article submission helper) its free and easy to use. I made sure I included my blog URL in all the post and contents. Do this for the next 30 days and see your traffic raking in.

Step 5
Great content
When i stressed that traffic is key, then content is the real king. Content is the source of your traffic because without publishing great post on your blog, how will your blog readers stick around? Great content is what makes people visit your site and when you have a good number of contents updated, they will never stop visiting. You need huge amount of good contents but you don't have to do it overnight. You need time to build it.

Step 6
Join a network of Bloggers and build your authority

How to Password Protect a Folder on your Computer

Step 1
Create a folder and name it. Inside the folder, create a notepad, copy and paste the following code below in the notepad

cls 
@ECHO OFF 
title Folder Private 
if EXIST "HTG Locker" goto UNLOCK 
if NOT EXIST Private goto MDLOCKER 
:CONFIRM 
echo Are you sure you want to lock the folder(Y/N) 
set/p "cho=>" 
if %cho%==Y goto LOCK 
if %cho%==y goto LOCK 
if %cho%==n goto END 
if %cho%==N goto END 
echo Invalid choice. 
goto CONFIRM 
:LOCK 
ren Private "HTG Locker" 
attrib +h +s "HTG Locker" 
echo Folder locked 
goto End 
:UNLOCK 
echo Enter password to unlock folder 
set/p "pass=>" 
if NOT %pass%== ENTER PASSWORD HERE goto FAIL 
attrib -h -s "HTG Locker" 
ren "HTG Locker" Private 
echo Folder Unlocked successfully 
goto End 
:FAIL 
echo Invalid password 
goto end 
:MDLOCKER 
md Private 
echo Private created successfully 
goto End 
:End

Step 2
Change the text ENTER PASSWORD HERE in the code above and replace it with your password

Step 3
Save the notepad with a .bat extension. That is for example namefolder.bat use any name you feel like but make sure it is save with a .bat extension. It will now generate another file name locker.

Step 3
Now delete the notepad your created leaving the .bat file inside the folder.

Step 4
Double click on the .bat file and a folder named Private will be created

Inside this folder you can now copy and paste all the files and folders you want to hide.

Step 5
After pasting your files, double click on the .bat file and this will prompt you to lock the folder. Type Y to lock it or type N to unlock it and hit enter.

Step 6
When you choose Y and hit enter, you have lock the folder. When you want to open the folder, double click on the bat file again, you will get this dialog box below.

Step 7
Just enter your password and hit enter

The locker folder will reveal all the contents in it and you can also add more files and folders which you want to hide.

You should also try to name this folder with a unique name that will disguise it and make anybody think it is not useful. This is because some tech gurus can still reveal all your hidden files if they suspect that you are hiding something. You should read my post on how to remove shortcut virus from your flash drive.

The Canadian Company (Blackberry) formerly known as RIM will be giving blackberry fans and lovers a new touch and experience of its product. (The Blackberry Z10 controlled with a touchscreen keyboard and Blackberry Q10 controlled with a physical QUERTY keyboard)

A lot of blackberry enthusiast and lovers of this smartphone definitely will be in the middle of a choice either to get the new Blackberry Z10 or simply go for another smartphone device with similar features like the Samsung Galaxy S 3.
But believe me when I say this Canadian Company has really come out with a better device this time as compared to its previous line of smartphones.

Here I would like to make a comparison of features and specifications of the new blackberry Z10 and Samsung Galaxy S 3 for you to decide which one to go for when planning to buy a new phone. The Samsung Galaxy S 3 is one of the most popular Android smartphones today and I believe they will have a pretty conflicts of fans seems the introduction of the most advanced Blackberry phone which has much improved features included.

If you take a look at the Blackberry Z10 hardware, it is quite elegant, sleek and beautiful. Although the Samsung Galaxy looks much bigger with a full 0.3 inches long and 0.2 inches wide. But the blackberry Z10 is a bit thicker and slightly heavier than the Galaxy S 3 though it doesn’t make it look chunky.

The Samsung Galaxy has a much wider screen of 4.8 inch with a lower 1280 x 720 resolution while the Blackberry Z10 has just 4.2-inch screen display with a 1280 x 768 resolution at 356 DPI which makes the latter appears slightly sharper in pixel density.

Both phones also have the same 802.11b/a/g/n2.4 GHz/5 GHz, WiFi, Bluetooth 4.0 and a near-field communication support.

According to pcmag.com, they also have nearly identical battery life span. A test shows that the z10’s 1,800 mAh battery lasted 10 hours 54 minutes of talk time while the Samsung Galaxy S 3's 2,100 mAh battery life lasted 10 hours 43minutes. The only difference between the two phones is that, the Blackberry Z10 runs on the new blackberry 10OS while the Samsung Galaxy S 3 runs on Android 4.1 “jelly bean”

How i Remove Shortcut Virus from my SD Memory card

2013-02-01T01:56:00.000-08:00

If you use your Pendrive, Flash drive, USB drive or sd memory card to receive or send files from one computer to another, you must have encountered this type of virus called "Shortcut Virus". The shortcut virus infect your device and turn all the original files and folders into a shortcut. In one of my previous post, i had written about How a virus turn my folders into a shortcut and solutions. But it seems that post is not that in depth so i prefer you read this one here and apply it if you are affected.

I have recently been infected with this shortcut virus called Odinga when i used my phone sd memory card to receive files from my friends computer. This virus hide all my original files and replace them with a shortcut folder instead. But i successfully solved the problem without deleting any file or formatting my sd memory card. That's why i decided to share how i manage to recover all my hidden files from my sd memory card infected with this virus.

There are just two ways i used to remove this "shortcut virus" from my memory card. These methods can also work on any drive like pendrive, usb flash, memory card or computer hard drive. So if you are currently experiencing this type of virus attack on your drive, Do not panic if your files or folders are turn to shortcut, they are not lost, do not format your drive, you can still recover all the files using these two methods i will show you below.

How the Shortcut Virus works

When your drive is infected with these shortcut virus, it hides all your original files and replace them with a shortcut folder that leads to a different directory. All you need to do is to remove the virus first, then reveal your original files, recover them and delete the shortcut virus files that is all. See how i did it below.

First and Foremost

What i did first was to remove the virus causing the infection. I slot in my memory card to my computer and scan it with a good antivirus program. I used Avast antivirus and it was up-to-date. If your antivirus is not up-to-date, please do not dare otherwise you will be giving the virus a new home and it will lodge in your computer system instead.

After scanning my memory card with my antivirus, i fix all threats detected by moving them to chest. Then i removed the shortcut virus using CMD using the following steps.

Step 1 Using DOS Command

Once i removed the threat detected by my antivirus, I click on the Start button, select Run and type cmd then hit ok. Or you can use this windows shortcut key (windows+R)

In the DOS window, I type CD\ and hit enter, then type the following command below

ATTRIB –H –R –S /S /D F:*.*

Or see picture below

The bold alphabet F represent my drive letter but you should replace it with the letter of your drive. When done, i hit enter.

Violaaaa! My hidden files and folders was visible now. I check my memory card and was able to see all hidden files together with the shortcut virus files and folders. I delete only the shortcut files and folders and recover my original files.

Step 2 Using Windows Explorer

You can also use the second step you recover your hidden files and folders.
Click on the "Start Button"

Click on "My Computer"

Highlight the drive you want to delete the shortcut virus from,

From your left hand side, click on "Organize"

From the drop down list, select "Folder and search option" in the next dialog box,

1. select "view"

2. select "Show hidden files, folders and drives", then

3. untick "Hide extensions for known file types". see picture below.

Then apply the settings and click ok.

All the original files hidden by the shortcut virus will be revealed. Recover your original files and delete all the shortcut virus files.

After that, do not forget to go back to the steps written in step 2 above and revert to the default settings as it was before. That is all you have to do to recover your files and folders back instead of formatting your drive.

2013-01-30T08:43:00.001-08:00

Do you know you can download movies online for free and pay not even a dime? Are you still asking this question How can i download movies for free online? A friend of mine asked me in a cafe one day when i was downloading a couple of HD movies online to my PC, he said he had been searching for websites where he could be watching movies and downloading them whenever he wants.

I was so surprise that a lot of people still don't know they can download free movies online without using their credit cards to pay. Yes you can do it.
You can download a lot of stuffs from the internet which are free but the main issue is, you must have enough MBs and preferable the unlimited browsing plan for MTN or any network will suffice.

Still wondering where i download my HD movies online?
Check out the following two site below
300mbfilms.com
Ganool.com
There are so many sites you can download whole lot of movies in High Definition versions but these are the two websites i am comfortable with. These websites are user friendly even a dummy can search for videos and download with a click of a button.

Movies you can find and download on these websites includes the following category
Action movies, Adventure films, Animation cartoons, Arcade, Asian movies, Chinese movies, Comedy, Documentary, Drama, Filipino movies, romance, thriller, war, and more.

You can also read the story line of each movies, get their IMDB info, release date, genre, stars, quality, source, size, subtitle, synopsis and more before you download them.

Is Google Zebra Update a Big Joke? Oh! I think so

2013-01-25T03:33:00.002-08:00

Google Zebra updates is the talk of the internet currently. Sources from reputable sites are discussing the rumor about Google planing to release its latest algorithm called the Google Zebra update. This Google algorithm technology is kinda scaring as it is said to be capable of wiping out all website off the web as stated on Nairaland Forum.

Especially the money making sites, get rich quick sites and a host of others. After reading about this Google zebra updates from most website, I start wondering if this was just the biggest joke or something real.

This sound like the biggest joke ever because Google doesn't actually own the internet, so how can they wipe out websites from the internet? Does it mean they will have to stop Google Adword entirely? who are they to determine which website to be on the web or not.

What i am really aware of is the upcoming Google Author Ranking system that will rank websites and blogs according to the authors credibility online. But for the Google Zebra Updates, it is as good as fiction.

What people are saying about Google Zebra update

According to a forum site (forums.digitalpoint.com) which claims that Google Zebra update will be coming out to clear the abundance of spam content on the web. This forum further says the algorithm has an advance spam detection utility that will eliminate all websites that include the following keywords below in its contents.

and more site keywords coming on the way.

There was just no original source from Google itself so its hard to believe. As far as we are concern, all Google updates should be coming from their original source like the Google twitter page at twitter.com/mattcutts.

In my previous article, I had written about how to make money with Sharetori as an advertising. But today, I will be giving a tutorial on how to generate Sharetori ads and add the adverts on your blog.

Sharetori is a growing advertising network that companies use to advertise their products online. If you are looking for audience to find the products you sell, then use sharetori. Apart from that, you can also use this website to make money for yourself.

Then you will see a page stating sharetori's Impression Tier Rates. Sharetori measure the number of people that visit your website weekly using a proprietary algorithm, and use that to determine the rates which they will pay you per campaign after showing it for a maximum of 1 week per earning cycle. If the advertisement is showcase again the following week, you get paid again for the same advertisement.

One good thing about sharetori is that, they pay you not per clicks but per impression. Their weekly impression tier and weekly payout are displayed on their website.

In the next page, you will see Add your website at the right hand side.

Then click on it to go to the next page. In the next page, you will have to choose your website type, enter website name, enter website URL, estimated weekly impression, website description, then placement position ie whether you wish to place it at the Master-head, Top right or Top left.

When done, click on create new website to go to the next page.

In the next page, you will see website added successfully. This is where you will have to create your ads.
Click on Manage as near your blog as shown in this image below.

Choose your website light background, your Ads format, click generate code, select placement position, and then copy the generated codes and paste in on your blog.

If you are using the blogger platform, navigate to layout, click add a gadgets where you want your ads to be displayed. Then selects HTML/javascript.

Paste the codes inside the space provided and save. That's all. You have done your part. Wait for sharetori to do theirs. They will scan through your blog and decide what ads to display on it.

Just few days left ahead of us as the new Blackberry 10 OS will be launched by RIM. If you are following my post recently, we discussed about the known battle between Blackberry and iPhone 5 users in the US. Some US agencies has threaten to abandon Blackberry smartphones and supply their workers with the new iPhone 5 instead. But i think with RIM's preparation to launch its Blackberry 10 in the market soon, things might change for good.

I am a big fan of Smartphones especially Blackberry even though i don't currently have one yet. But i am planing to buy a nice BB for myself but the Full touchscreen and QWERTY keyboard is what am still pondering on.

I really don't fancy the full touchscreen type of phone but i think am falling in love with the QWERTY keyboard on blackberry. No official news yet on how the blackberry 10 might look like but some leakage reveals that details about the software keyboard are fantastic.

If am to go for the new BB10 smartphone, the QWERTY keyboard will be my choice. How about you? Do you plan on getting a BlackBerry10 smartphone? If you are getting a BB10 device, which of the options would you go for? the full touchscreen or QWERTY? lets hear your views please.

Top 7 Google Adsense Policies every Blogger must know to avoid

2013-01-18T13:10:00.000-08:00

I have been using Google Adsense ads on my blog for sometime now without problems though i have heard a lot of people saying bad things about Google Adsense program. A lot of Bloggers has been rejected from Google Adsense while others got their account deactivated and ban permanently. Then i decided to write this post How to avoid Google deactivating your Adsense account. Most blogger claim such act is unfair but the truth is that, Google had to be very strict with their Adsense policies these days in other to avoid any potential court case against them with regards to publisher's breach.

That is why if you go against any adsense policy, you are ban immediately. Sometimes with a chance to appeal and sometimes no chance at all.

Here i will like to discuss some few reasons why Google adsense will never accept some bloggers on their adsense program due to a violation on their part and i will also tell you how to avoid this violation.

First you must know that Google is super-strict when it comes to enforcing their policies and most bloggers has been hit with their account deactivated and website banned from the program simply because they don't think they are being policed so they can do what they want to increase their earnings. No you mustn't try to outsmart Google, they will get at you immediately.

The long-term impact of such a ban is that, you might not be able to participate in their program again and you never want this to happen do you do you?. In one of my post, i have written on 13 ways Google can detect invalid clicks from your blog. You should read it.

Here i am going to put you through top 7 Strict Google Adsense Policies you must know how to avoid them.

1. You Must Have a Privacy Policy:
Even if you are not going to use Google Adsense on your website, having a privacy policy is one of the recommended features a website must have. If you are starting a new blog and thinking about running Google adsense on it in either immediately or in future, then you must include a privacy policy because Google is explicit in this requirement (you can read more about creating a privacy policy for your blog right here) This is one of the things that makes Google reject your account or ban your blog from their program.

2. Avoid Invalid Clicks:
Invalid clicks is one of the major things that got many people banned from participating on Google adsense program. You can only earn big on Google adsense through hard work and nothing more. A lot of bloggers whom are not satisfied with their earnings will start looking for illegal ways to increase their earnings. This is one sure way to get banned from Google program.

Wondering how invalid clicks are generated? let me tell you more.
There are a number of ways to generate invalid clicks.

Using automated Software or bots to click on links.

One of the top offenders are the site owners themselves as they "test" their own advertisements and click on them. This act is strictly against Google Adsense TOS. You must not click on your ads to see how they work.

3. Asking Friends to click on your ads:
This is another sure ways to get a quick reply from Google. Asking your friends or family on social network or some online group to click on your ads. Google has the technology and software to police all clicks activity.

Another artificial clicks generated sometimes comes from your competitors who are targeting your website. They will intentionally click on Google Adsense adverts on your blog for like 100 times daily just to make Google ban you. But is that fair? Absolutely not but don't you worry, Google will help you resolve the situation if it's truly malicious.

The best way is for you to stay proactive and check your account activity for any irregular clicks or patterns consistently. Report anything strange, even in the slightest and you should be good to go.

4. Misleading or Encouraging Your blog Readers to Click on Google Ads:
This is another common way that bloggers get banned from Google adsense. They intentionally or unintentionally mislead their visitors and readers to click on the ads by placing talking pictures or other adverts similar to Google adsense close to each others. Google call this types of adverts mimicking ads and one example of such ads is Chitika.You can place chitika ads together with Google on the same website but not close to each other.

Also, you can mislead your users by way of your blog's design by putting content super-close to your advertisements or in such a way that forces them to click on them to move forward in their user experience. Avoid this act, it is against Google adsense policies and they can easily work against you.

5. Revealing your Adsense Data in Public:
As an adsense publisher, you are not allowed to disclose or flaunt your adsense information publicly. A lot of bloggers love doing this. The Terms and Conditions state explicitly that You agree not to disclose Google Confidential Information without Google's prior written consent.

"Google Confidential Information" includes without limitation:
(a) all Google software, technology, programming, specifications, materials, guidelines and documentation relating to the Program;
(b) click-through rates or other statistics relating to Property performance in the Program provided to You by Google; and
(c) any other information designated in writing by Google as "Confidential" or an equivalent designation.

However, You may accurately disclose the amount of Google's gross payments to you pursuant to the Program. So you should be careful with any screenshots that you make of any part of your Google adsense performance.

6. Purchasing Traffic, 3rd Parties:
One area that always get people ban from Google adsense is when they purchase traffic from other sources. Before you are accepted into Google adsense program and while working with them, Google gets all detailed report about your site traffic from their analytic report.

According to Google, you are not allowed to use third-party services that generate clicks or impressions such as paid-to-click, paid-to-surf, autosurf and click-exchange programs on a site running their ads.
You are also not allowed to promote a website running ads through unsolicited mass emails or unwanted advertisements on third-party websites.

You are not allowed t display Google ads in search boxes or search results as a result of the actions of software applications such as toolbars, or be loaded by any software that can trigger pop-ups, redirect users to unwanted websites, modify browser settings or otherwise interfere with site navigation are prohibited. It is your responsibility to ensure that no ad network or affiliate uses such methods to direct traffic to pages that contain your AdSense code.

You are also not allowed to receive traffic from online advertising unless the site complies with the spirit of Google's Landing Page Quality Guidelines. So you must have to read the Google's Landing page quality Guideline properly before using a direct advertising method either from Google Adword or from a specific website.

7. Using Google Images which are Copyright Protected:
They say picture speaks louder than voice and it is true. Adding images on your blog post is a nice way to deliver a message as most people seems to understand the nature of your post by looking at your post image.

One big problem most bloggers face is finding the right free images to fix on their blog. If you go straight to Google image search, grab an image link and paste it on your blog, Google can never accept your application if they discovers that image is copyright protected and you don't have the right to use it.

Note that by the time you start running Google's adsense ads on your blog, you are Google's employee. Any breach committed by you and from your account, can get Google into trouble. That is why they have to be strict.
For more information on Google Adsense policies, please read the official Adsense Program Policies. And abide by it just to be on a safer side.

How to Open a ClickBank Account from Countries not Listed like Nigeria [Updated]

2013-01-17T07:37:00.000-08:00

In one of my previous post, i had written on How a Nigerian can open and operate a ClickBank account here in Nigeria. But due to the Tax clearance code issues involved with people using foreign addresses from USA, which means you will have to submit your US Tax Clearance Code before you can get your Clickbank check delivered. And note that the US Tax Clearance Code is only available to US residents. But don't you worry, there is a way out which i am going to reveal to you now.

I believe you also want to make some money from Clickbank just like others do but unfortunately, your country is not listed among the Clickbank approved list. Here i will show you how you can successfully register your clickbank account and how to get your clickbank check delivered to you even if your country is not on their list.

For the sake of those who don't know what CB is, Clickbank is a market place where you can buy and sell digital products online. Products that can be found on Clickbank includes ebooks, software, services etc.

Three types of people are involved on Clickbank and it is a win win situation.
1. The vendor of a product list his item for sale,
2. While a buyer purchases it.
3. An affiliate is a person who helps the vendor promote his items and convince people to buy.

If the buyer purchases these products, the affiliate receives commission. There are so many ways to make money with Clickbank but this should be a topic for another day.

So How to open a Clickbank account from Nigeria.
Clickbank accepts all countries even those not listed on their website including Nigeria. But the problem is that, clickbank does not send your check here in Nigeria. Although we can use other services to get our check down here in Nigeria.

We are going to use a mail forwarding services instead of Graphcard which is now risky. The mail forwarding services supports other countries also and not only Nigeria okay?

1. You must have the following below.

A valid ID card like National ID card,

A drivers license or International passport and

A utility Bill. (PHCN, or Bank statement).

A UK address. To get a UK address, just change your IP address to a UK IP address and search UK yellow pages via Google search. You also need a UK IP address to register for the first time. Read this post How to change your IP address without using any software

A domiciliary account with any bank in Nigeria that you will use to clear your check (GTBank preferable).

Now if you get all this set, proceed to open your Clickbank account asap. If you have change your IP address to a UK IP address, search for 'UK yellow pages' on Google then visit www.clickbank.com to signup.

2. Fill all the info in the form required, make sure to fill your real name as the one you used in opening your domiciliary account with and then use the UK address you got from yellow pages.

3. Tick United Kingdom as your country and set your payment threshold to like $2000. Just to make sure to delay issuance of your check before you find a confirm address. You can still change the payment thresh hold when you use a confirm address after getting it from www.ukpostbox.com

4. Now visit www.ukpostbox.com to apply for a UK mail forwarding address. But make sure you reset your IP address back to the normal Nigeria IP.

5. Select PayAsYouGo option which is free, but you only have to pay whenever you want them to send your check to Nigeria. Use you real details here to fill the form using your Nigerian address. Note that you will be required to scan your National ID card and utility bill for your application to be approved.

The UK post box will give you a special UK address after 7 days. Then sign in to your Clickbank account and change your address to the new one given to you by the ukpostbox. You should also change your payment threshold to any amount but make it at least 100 to 200.

Congratulations, you have now opened your clickbank account successfully. If your clickbank earnings reach the payment threshold, your check will be sent to the ukpostbox address given to you. The ukpostbox will receive your check and then forward it to your address here in Nigeria which you will then clear it using your domiciliary account.

If you can’t open a Clickbank account for yourself, I can assist you to do it. Just shoot me a mail and we will discuss.
