Pinterest is the new social network where you pin the things love and share with others. After getting Pinterest invite from my friend I surfed on Pinterest for a while and I found it very useful and I decided to send Pinterest  invitations to FalconHive readers since Pinterest is invitations-only social network for now. If you want to pick up your name as your username on Pinterest and be among the first ones who use this new tool simply leave a comment entering your actual e-mail adress.

Choosing which program to use on your quest to make money online is one of the major decisions that a webmaster or an online entrepreneur will make.  For those who are looking for something to complement their contextual ads like Google Adsense, you may choose INTENTclick ads and run them in your website. This can make your online quest more profitable. And I will tell you why choosing INTENTclick is the next big step that you can do.

Compared to other ad networks that offer in-text ads, INTENTclick is performance based RPC which uses a one of a kind method of calculating pay for publishers or website owners. INTENTclick promises to pay a based amount of $0.07 per click from a US based visitor. There is no other in-text ad network that makes the same offer. The fixed rate per visit makes it easier for publisher’s to calculate or determine their earning. Of course publisher’s are also rewarded based on the volume of traffic that they can generate, number and quality of leads that can be generated and ultimately the sale or conversion that are made.

Now, regardless of number or volume of traffic that a website can make it’s assured to get the based or fix rate per click so long that you maintain a minimum of 1,000 unique visitors from US.  For websites that does not have so much traffic but has a high conversion rate  meaning the leads that it generate are actually buying the items being advertise, the website or publisher is still rewarded for this. Additionally, publishers are given account managers which are really responsive and even better is that you don’t have to contact them through annoying contact forms, instead you can directly contact them via e-mail and consult about anything regarding your website and generating more revenue out of it using INTENTclick.

INTENTclick is able to do this because of its high performance and top of the line technology to offer highly targeted ads suitable for your website and your viewers. It uses Synapse Platform from Kontera Technologies.  The system is able to offer ads that are likely to convert into sale based on your website content, guests or visitors behaviors as compared from other websites that are similar to yours.

But INTENTclick is not for every website. It is designed for website’s that are focused on saving money and better income which makes the network more special for such websites. This also includes  couponing, shopping deals, bill reduction, free sampler, online income opportunities, working from home and trading blogs or websites. If you have a website or websites that fall under these verticals then you can apply for an INTENTclick account now. It’s so easy to set up an INTENTclick account. It just a few minutes you can see your ads running on your websites and you can watch your income raise.

It didn’t take long for iPhone Dev Team to jailbreak iOS 5 final release. Unfortunately this is a tethered jailbreak you will have to connect your iPhone, iPod or iPad to your computer when the device reboots due to low battery or other factors. No worries, I’m sure iPhone Dev Team is working on iOS to release its untethered jailbreak version. Now, first of all I have to remind you all iOS device holders that this redsn0w jailbreak works on iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4 CDMA & GSM, iPod touch 3rd & 4th gen, and iPad 1 which means that redsn0w can be runned on devices with A4 processors. If you have iPhone 4S or iPad 2, devices with A5 processors, this ios 5 jailbreak wor’t work, so don’t waste your time trying to install iOS 5 jailbreak on these Apple devices and wait until holy iPhone Dev Team solves the puzzle of A5 processors. Woah, let’s jailbreak iOS 5 now !

Just before we begin, I want to remind you that you must have the latest
version of iTunes installed on your computer and download ios 5 if you haven’t downloaded it yet.

Download redsn0w 0.9.9b4

Here you can also find direct download links of redsn0w 0.9.9b4 for Mac (v 0.9.9b5 here) or for Windows. FYI, this thing will help us jailbreak ios 5, if you haven’t heard about it before.

Jailbreak iOS 5

1. Open redsn0w and click “Jailbreak” button
2. Connect the device that you want to jailbreak, and switch it off
3.  Now enter DFU Mode, if you don’t know how to enter DFU Mode heres a quick guide: hold down sleep button and home button simultaneously for 10 seconds and then release power button but keep holding on home button for 15-20 seconds till you get a notification from redsn0w. It will say that the device is about to enter the DFU Mode.
4. If you have older version of redsn0w then point iOS 5 IPSW file to redsn0w
5. If you have newer version of redsn0w then it will download and jailbreak ios 5 automatically
6. Click “Install Cydia” and continue jailbreaking your Apple device with ios 5

Finally Apple has released iOS 5 with 200 new features. But for those who are unable to download iOS 5 through iTunes need to install iOS 5 manually. As you Apple device owners know, you need to have ios 5 ipsw file download links to install iOS 5 to your iPad 1, iPad 2, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S and iPod’s latest generations.

As I failed to install iOS 5 to my iPhone 4 and iPad 2 I searched around to find iOS 5 download links and a few minutes ago I managed to find the links. And here list of download links for iOS 5.

iPad 1 iOS 5 Download link : Click

iPad 2 iOS 5 Download link : Click

AT&T iPhone 4 iOS 5 Download link : Click

Verizon iPhone 4 iOS 5 Download link : Click

Two months ago, I wanted to try Amazon Associates, affiliate program of Amazon, to make some money through affiliate marketing. Although I was not new to affiliate marketing and Amazon Associates, I had no experience with it. After combining my SEO experience with affiliate marketing knowledge I managed to make $500 from two different ( one targeted US traffic the other targeted UK traffic ) sites at first try. Here the steps I took:

Find a niche

I’m aware that you get sick when an affiliate marketer tells you to find a niche. Yes, it might be a common cliche but in order to start working you have to find a niche. This might be GPS devices, drum sets, toasters, sd cards for phones anything you can imagine, but it will be more profitable to find a niche with higher search volume. Read the next step.

Use Google Keyword Tool

Actually, you have to know the tricks of using Google Keyword Tool correctly for quicker and better results. But for now all we need is to know the basics. So, in order to know the search volume of our niche keyword, enter the keyword to “Word or phrase” section, choose your language ( English ) and country ( UK or US ) and  finally press search button. If your keyword’s local monthly searches are over 60.000 I can suggest you to work on that keyword, else, find a better keyword with higher search volume.

Register a Domain Name

Pay $9 and register a domain name. Domain extension matters, if your target country is USA, find a direct match domain name ending with com,net or org. Co domains are also said to be efficient but I have no experience with .co domains. Be sure not to register a domain name with info extension since it will be hard to make it rank better. If you target UK, co.uk extesion will make your work easier. You can also target Canada and purchase .ca extension domain name. Your domain name has to include your keyword within it. For example it must be like cheapGPSdevices.com or cheapcarinsuranceonline.co.uk. Feel free to add some extra word or letter to the end of the domain, but don’t add extras before the exact keyword like onlinecheapcarinsurance.co.uk .

Install WordPress

No doubt that WordPress is the most powerful CMS, so take advantage of it! Install SEO plugins like All in one seo pack, headspace2 and google sitemap generator. Also remember to change your permalink settings.

Post Some Articles or Reviews

Let’s say that your niche is cheap gps devices, then you should publish 300+ words articles about gps devices  in your blog or 150+ words reviews for different gps devices. Both will be effective but I recommend the second one. Keep posting articles or reviews every two or three days.

Get Some Backlink

Submit your articles to social bookmarking sites like Mixx, Digg and others and exchange links. If you don’t want to be busy with this process I can recommend you to work with TheBacklinkBuilders.com like I did.

Feed Your Site With Articles

Keep adding new reviews, articles because your website has be updated regularly till your site ranks.

The Results

I explained the process I followed briefly. And here the results after a month.

Target country : United Kingdom

Domain Extension : co.uk

Google.co.uk rank: #4 of first page

Revenue : £224 = $360

Time spent : 45 days

Target country : United States

Domain Extension : com

Google.co.uk rank: #2 of first page

Revenue : $177

Time spent : 40 days

After working a month I managed to make $537. Yes, it is not that much money but with the right strategy I managed to monetize my niche blogs which can be considered as a great success. Time to make the revenue more stable! If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask them by leaving a comment below and do not forget to like us on facebook and follow us through twitter!

Google +1 button is now available for websites and I recommend you Blogger users to add this new cool button to your blogs because it is another parameter that affects your website’s ranking on search results. So basically you should not ignore the button. It is pretty easy to add Google +1 button to blogspot blogs you don’t have to mess with lots of code snippets. Now go to Google +1 button page and generate your button.

Now, the next step is : Click “Design” tab from Blogger Dashboard and then click “Edit HTML” link. You will see your template codes, in order to see the detailed coding of the template you must click “Expand Widget Templates” link as shown in the screenshot given below.

After you expand the template, find [php]<data:post.body/>[/php] using CTRL+F combination and then paste the code you generated above the lines. Now in order to make it look better we will add some css styles to our button by adding div style. The code we are supposed to paste will look like this :

[php]

<div style=”float:left;”>
<script src=”http://apis.google.com/js/plusone.js’ type=’text/javascript”/>
<g:plusone/>
</div>

[/php]

If you want to make Google +1 button appear on the right simply change “left to “right”. Finally, it must look like this :

Save and refresh your home page.

Any questions?

Although it is still unknown whether it will be named as “iPhone 5” or “iPhone 4s”, many tech blogs from TheNextWeb to ElectricPig assume that the brand new iPhone 5 with new features will be announced in the first week of June, during WWDC 2011.  But still, there has been no official announcement from Apple.

Probably you have seen a lot of iPhone 5 prototype pictures on the internet like the one given below which has a large screen and looks pretty much like the blend of iPhone 4 and iPhone 3 but personally I don’t rely on these iPhone 5 pictures since this so called design of the new iPhone 5 does not represent the style of Apple products. Additionally we haven’t seen any white iPhone models before the release of classical black iPhones.

There are less than 2 weeks left to see the actual iPhone 5 and its specifications. Some webmasters already established new websites to sell iPhone 5 cases because it is great niche and more likely we will see iphone 5 jailbreak sites on the go. I’m seriously excited to see Steve Jobs on the stage and announcing his new post-modern cell phone. Let’s wait and see what is going to happen in WWDC 2011.

Hello again everybody, it is another sunny saturday in Istanbul and before I get prepared to go out for the night I wanted to fix some other Blogger templates that you wanted me to fix. As Rebecca and Aperacida requested, I updated the image links of Red Light Blogger template and now the template works properly. Upon Tali’s request, Water Color Blogger template has also been fixed.

You need to download and re-install the updated Blogger templates, here the download links :

Yay! I’m happy to fulfill your expectations! Now I can go out have some fun outside after a tiresome week with lots of exams.

If you encounter any errors or problems please do let me know, by the way do not forget to check my friend’s Blogger templates gallery for more templates :)

Hello there dear Blogger users. I know that it has been long time since I last updated Falconhive and I see that you guys are having some problems with the templates. First of all I have to say that I’m really busy with my exams nowadays and I hardly find time to check your comments.

One of the most common problem is “bandwidth exceeded” error on templates. This problem occurs because template images are hosted in our Photobucket account and it seems that our account can no longer fulfill the hosting need of increasing number of blogs that use our Blogger templates.

A few hours ago I fixed this issue with Blogger’s free image hosting and updated Wooden Fence Blogger template and Zinmag Remedy Blogger template. Please let me know the templates that give the same error and I will fix them up too.

By the way, if you have something to share with Blogger users, I can publish them here on Falconhive, they can be Blogger templates, Blogger gadgets and hacks, or articles about Blogger. Feel free to contact me for guest blogging :)
