Google Chrome v/s Internet Explorer, Mozilla

noreply@blogger.com (safri4u) — Mon, 11 Oct 2010 16:43:00 +0000

Web browser Google Chrome, which emerged in mid-2008, has hit Internet Explorer hard and stalled the rise of Mozilla Firefox.

Internet Explorer now accounts for less than 50 percent of worldwide web browser usage, a fall from its peak of 88 percent in 2003.

The fall makes the latest version, Internet Explorer 9, all the more important for the company.

The rise of Chrome has also affected Mozilla Firefox -- the second most popular desktop web browser -- which has stayed at 30 percent market share since May last year.

Web browsers are big business. Mozilla has revealed that in 2008 it pulled in $79 million of revenue from advertisements that pop up when one uses the Google, Yahoo or eBay search box or download Google’s toolbar, the Telegraph reported.

Google’s investment in Chrome is certainly motivated by this revenue stream. Why should it pay out for the referrals when it can serve them up for free within Chrome?

Mozilla’s long-term advertising deal with Google ends in 2011. No surprise then that Mozilla is reaching out to other ad partners: Microsoft announced last week that the new version of Firefox 4 will include an option for searching via Bing.

Mobile web development is an underappreciated area, but one which will become more and more important over the next decade.

The share of traffic from mobile browsers has grown from 0.6 percent at the start of 2009, to 3.5 percent today. That number is nearly five per cent in the U.S. and Britain.

Condom problems at CWG DELHI 2010

noreply@blogger.com (safri4u) — Fri, 08 Oct 2010 05:18:00 +0000

THE COMMONWEALTH Games (CWG) Village is confronting a civic problem again. It is not the dirty loos or spit-stained bathrooms, but choked drains, which are now causing problems.

And this time, the athletes themselves are to blame.When some toilets used by the athletes were found clogged, plumbers were called in to clean them. They found that thousands of used condoms, which had been flushed down, were clogging the system.

Now what to say to media, they are in the mute mode now. They haven’t drop any effort for blaming the India during it’s preparation for CWG 2010

Windows uses 20% of your bandwidth ! Microsoft reserve 20% of your available bandwidth for their own purposes

(suspect for updates and interrogating your machine etc..)

Windows uses 20% of your bandwidth !

Here's how to get it back:

Click Start-->Run-->type "gpedit.msc" without the "

This opens the group policy editor. Then go to:

Local Computer Policy-->Computer Configuration-->Administrative Templates-->Network-->QOS Packet Scheduler-->Limit Reservable Bandwidth

Double click on Limit Reservable bandwidth. It will say it is not configured, but the truth is under the 'Explain' tab :

"By default, the Packet Scheduler limits the system to 20 percent of the bandwidth of a connection, but you can use this setting to override the default."

So the trick is to ENABLE reservable bandwidth, then set it to ZERO. This will allow the system to reserve nothing, rather than the default 20%.
Works on XP Pro and 2000.

Bios Updates - How To Recover

noreply@blogger.com (safri4u) — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 18:46:00 +0000

Hello,
this is not what i wrote , i just grabbed it from the net . no credit to me.

my advice : dont flash bios in Windows
and flash only if necessary . and i think asrock mobos dont support the foll. method of recovery .( some eeprom limitations ).
PLZ pass on comments.Was it useful ?

PROCEDURE FOR RECOVERING A CORRUPT BIOS CHIP
By David Oakley
Amptron International Inc.
(Revised May 24, 2001)
INTRODUCTION TO BOOTBLOCK BIOS
Most BIOS code used today is called ‘BOOT BLOCK’ BIOS. A BOOT BLOCK type BIOS is
different from previous BIOS types in that it is divided into two distinct sections. The first section
of the BIOS is the BOOT BLOCK (hence the name). The BOOT BLOCK uses the first 24k of the
ROM and contains information necessary to initialize only critical system devices such as the
processor, memory and some ISA video cards as well as the floppy drive. The BIOS BOOT
BLOCK is a write protected area and cannot be over written by a BIOS flash utility without using a
special command line switch.
The second section is the SYSTEM BLOCK. The SYSTEM BLOCK is 232k in size and contains
the information necessary to initialize all other system devices such as the video system, input
devices, storage devices, COM ports and peripherals and performs the Power On Self Test. The
SYSTEM BLOCK constitutes the bulk of the ROM.
The illustration above depicts a standard 2Mb (256k) BIOS chip. Older BIOS chips may be only
1Mb (128k). The 1Mb BIOS chips are not BOOT BLOCK BIOS and therefore cannot be
recovered in the same way. If you have a 1Mb BIOS chip and your BIOS is corrupt then you will
need to reprogram the chip using the ‘Hot-Swapping’ method, or an EEPROM programmer.
UPDATING (FLASHING) YOUR BIOS
The process of updating your BIOS is called flashing. Because the type of ROM chip used is a
Flash EEPROM. To update your BIOS you use a utility called a BIOS Flash utility. When you
flash your BIOS the flash utility performs the following steps.
· ?Enters Protected Mode by loading the DOS 4G Protected Mode drivers
· ?Identifies the flash part (the BIOS chip)
· ?Identifies the flash part size and programming voltage
· ?Identifies the motherboard chipset
· ?Verifies the BIOS checksums (make sure that the BIOS file is correct)
· ?Erases the BIOS SYSTEM BLOCK (write over the data with all 0’s)
· ?Rewrites the SYSTEM BLOCK with the new BIOS file
· ?Loads CMOS defaults and reboots the computer
UPDATING (FLASHING) YOUR BIOS (Cont.)
If an error occurs within the first five steps of the flash process then an error message will be
displayed and the flash process will be aborted. Unfortunately if an error occurs after the flash
utility has erased the SYSTEM BLOCK then the computer will be disabled. The system power
will come on, but the system will not startup as it normally does and you may or may not see
anything on the screen. If your system has an AWARD BIOS you may see an error message on
the screen that says.
AWARD BootBlock BIOS v1.0
CMOS Checksum Error
At this point the system will attempt to boot from a floppy disk. You will be able to boot from a
bootable floppy, but without the BIOS SYSTEM BLOCK you can’t do much else.
METHODS OF RECOVERING A CORRUPT BIOS CHIP
There are four options available if your BIOS has become corrupt:
1) Use the BootBlock function of the BIOS to reprogram the BIOS ROM.
2) Use a method called ‘Hot-Swapping’ to reprogram the BIOS ROM.
3) Remove the BIOS ROM and manually reprogram it on an EEPROM programmer.
4) Purchase a replacement BIOS from the motherboard manufacturer.
This paper was written to aid you in reprogramming your BIOS using either of the first two
methods. If you are not comfortable or able to recover your BIOS using either of these methods
then it would be best to purchase a replacement BIOS chip from the motherboard’s manufacturer.
DIFFERENT BIOS DISTRIBUTIONS
There are two primary BIOS distributions used today they are AWARD, written by AWARD
Software and AMI, which is written by American Megatrends International. The methods used to
recovery your BIOS is different for each BIOS distribution, so it is crucial that your know which
BIOS distribution you have.
To determine which BIOS distribution you have you can either read the sticker that has been
placed on top of your BIOS chip, consult the user’s manual, or contact the motherboard
manufacturer. I will elaborate on each of these methods below.
IDENTIFYING YOUR MOTHERBOARDS BIOS DISTRIBUTION
The quickest way to identify which BIOS distribution your motherboard uses when you cannot
boot the computer is to read the manufacturers sticker on the BIOS chip itself, however not all
manufacturers label their BIOS chips. To do this you must first locate the BIOS chip on the
motherboard.
Currently there are two popular BIOS chip package types in use; 32-pin DIP (Dual In-line
Package) and 28-pin PLCC (Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier). The most common is the 32-pin DIP
type so this is what you should look for first. The DIP package type chip is a rectangular black
IDENTIFYING YOUR MOTHERBOARDS BIOS DISTRIBUTION (Cont.)
silicon chip with a row 16-pins along each of the longer sides of the chip. The PLCC chips are
smaller square chips that are closely fitted into a plastic socket on the motherboard. The PLCC
type chips have a total of 28 pins, which are inline on all sides of the chip and one of the corner of
the chip is at a 45° angle.
The illustration below is a larger than normal diagram of what each chip looks like.
( This illustration is not to scale )
The motherboard manufacturer usually places a sticker on top of the BIOS chip, which specifies
the BIOS distribution. The sticker will either say AWARD! or AMI.
Another easy way to identify your BIOS is by checking the user’s manual. The manual does not
generally mention the type of BIOS you have, but in most cases it will include screen shots
(pictures) of the BIOS Setup Utility, which shows the BIOS name at the top. In your manual there
should be a section that discusses how to setup your BIOS. Read the BIOS setup section and
pay close attention to the illustrations. The following is an example of information taken from a
screen shot in a motherboard user’s manual.
AMIBIOS SIMPLE SETUP UTILITY – VERSION 1.20
©1998 American Megatrends, Inc. All Rights Reserved
This motherboard obviously uses AMI BIOS.
The third and final way to identify your BIOS is to call the motherboard manufacturer and ask.
This is often a pretty simple approach, but it is not uncommon for motherboards of the same
model to use different BIOS distributions.
RECOVERING A CORRUPT AMI BOOTBLOCK BIOS
With motherboards that use BOOT BLOCK BIOS it is possible to recover a corrupted BIOS by
reprogramming it from a floppy diskette as long as the BOOT BLOCK section of the BIOS
remains unmodified. When a system with an AMI BIOS has a corrupt BIOS the system will
appear to start, but nothing will appear on the screen, the floppy drive light will come on and the
system will access the floppy drive repeatedly.
AMI has integrated a recovery routine into the BOOT BLOCK of the BIOS, which in the event the
BIOS becomes corrupt can be used to restore it. The routine is called when the SYSTEM BLOCK
of the BIOS is empty. The restore routine will access the floppy drive searching for a BIOS ROM
file named AMIBOOT.ROM, (this is why the floppy drive light comes on and the drive spins.) If the
RECOVERING A CORRUPT AMI BOOTBLOCK BIOS (Cont.)
file is found it is then loaded into the SYSTEM BLOCK of the BIOS to replace the missing
information.
NOTE: Make sure that the PC speaker inside your computer is working before you proceed.
When the BIOS has been restored your system will beep four times to let you know.
To restore an AMI BootBlock BIOS follow these steps:
1) Format a good working 1.44MB floppy diskette.
2) Copy a working BIOS ROM file for your motherboard onto the floppy disk. BIOS ROM
files can usually be downloaded from the motherboard manufacturer’s web site. If you
cannot locate a BIOS ROM file for your motherboard then call the motherboard
manufacturer for technical support.
3) Rename the BIOS ROM file ‘AMIBOOT.ROM’
4) Turn the system on and insert the disk into drive A:
5) After about 3 ~ 4 minutes the system will beep four times. Remove the disk from the
drive. The computer will then restart.
At this point your BIOS should be restored and the system should startup normally. If your system
does not startup normally then try using a different BIOS ROM file for your motherboard and read
the TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEMS section below.
RECOVERING A CORRUPT AWARD BOOTBLOCK BIOS
With AWARD BIOS the process is similar but still a bit different. To recover an AWARD BIOS you
will need to create a floppy diskette with a working BIOS file in .BIN format, an AWARD flash
utility and an AUTOEXEC.BAT file. AWARD BIOS will not automatically restore the BIOS
information to the SYSTEM BLOCK for this reason you will need to add the commands necessary
to flash the BIOS to the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. The system will run the AUTOEXE.BAT file at
startup, which will in turn flash the BIOS. This is fairly easy. Here are the steps you need to take.
1) Create a bootable floppy disk. If you use Windows 95, 98 or DOS, this can be done by
going to the DOS prompt and typing the command. (Be sure to insert a disk first)
FORMAT A: /S
The /S switch specifies that the system files should be copied to the diskette to make it
bootable. If you are using Windows ME, Windows NT or Windows 2000 then you can not
use the /S switch with the FORMAT command. If you are unable to create a bootable
diskette because of the operating system you are using then you may download a
bootable diskette image from the BootDisk.com web site at (http://www.bootdisk.com)
2) Copy a working BIOS ROM (.BIN) file for your motherboard and an AWARD flash utility
to the floppy disk. You can usually download these files from the motherboard
manufacturer. If you need help finding these files call the motherboard manufacturer for
technical support.
3) Use a text editor or the ‘edit’ command at the DOS prompt to create a text file named
‘AUTOEXEC.BAT’ and save it on the floppy disk. Make sure that the file name is
AUTOEXEC and that the extension is .BAT (nothing else). If you create this file from
RECOVERING A CORRUPT AWARD BOOTBLOCK BIOS (Cont.)
4) within Windows using a program such as NOTEPAD, you may need to change the file
extension from .TXT to .BAT
5) With the text editor add the following commands to the AUTOEXEC.BAT file on the
floppy disk and then save the changes.
@ECHO OFF
@AWDFLASH BIOSFILE.BIN /py
NOTE: The ‘/py’ switch will cause the flash utility to automatically reprogram the BIOS
without any user intervention. Be sure to change the ‘AWDFLASH’ to the name
of the flash utility that you are using and change the ‘BIOSFILE.BIN’ to the name
of the BIOS ROM file you are using.
If you are not sure what the command line switch to automatically flash your
BIOS is, type the name of the flash utility with the ‘/?’ switch after it at a DOS
prompt and a list of the available switches will be displayed.
6) Insert the diskette you created into the floppy drive A: on the system that you need to
restore the BIOS on. Turn on the system. The computer should startup, read the floppy
disk, run the commands in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file and restore the BIOS.
At this point if everything went well then the BIOS should have been restored and the
computer should restart normally. If your system still did not restart normally then go to
the TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEMS section below.
‘HOT-SWAPPING’ A BIOS CHIP
‘Hot-Swapping’ refers to removing a BIOS chip from the motherboard while the system power is
on and the system is in an idle state. Hot-Swapping a BIOS chip is VERY dangerous to both the
system and the person attempting to remove the chip. This method of BIOS recovery should only
be performed by experienced technician as a last option. Hot-Swapping will work on any type of
BIOS chip as long as both computers use the same type of chip.
WARNING: If done improperly this method of BIOS recovery could cause severe damage to the
motherboard and BIOS as well as severe injury to the person attempting to remove
the chip.
Hot-Swapping requires you to have two computers with the same BIOS distribution and type. The
way it works is, while the second (working computer) is on the BIOS chip is removed and the
BIOS chip from the first (non-working) board is inserted in its place. The BIOS flash utility is then
run on the second computer and the BIOS chip is updated with the BIOS file for the first
computer. In essence you are reprogramming the bad BIOS chip on a different motherboard and
then putting the chip back into the non-working motherboard. The procedure is below.
1) Start the second (working computer) and go to a DOS prompt. Make sure that no
programs are running in the background.
2) While the computer is on carefully remove the BIOS chip from the motherboard and set it
aside. Be sure to note the orientation of the chip so that you can later inset it back in to
the motherboard exactly as it was.
3) Insert the BIOS chip from the first (non-working) computer in to the BIOS socket on the
second (working computer’s) motherboard.
‘HOT-SWAPPING’ A BIOS CHIP (Cont.)
4) At the DOS prompt run the BIOS flash utility and update the BIOS chip with the correct
BIOS file for the first computer. If you get a warning message that the chipset and BIOS
does not match continue anyway. If the flash utility will not allow you to continue and it is
an AMI flash utility then re-run the flash utility using the ‘/X’ switch to enter the utilities
graphical interface and manually reprogram the BIOS from there.
5) Once the BIOS chip has been reprogrammed successfully carefully remove the BIOS
chip from the second computer and put it back into the first computer. Be sure to pay
close attention to the orientation of the chip so that you insert it correctly. Plugging in the
chip backwards will immediately damage both the chip and the motherboard.
6) Start the first computer. If all went well the first system should now be working again. If
not see the TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEMS section below.
TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEMS
PROBLEM: After following all of the directions the system will still not start normally. When the
system is powered on all it will do is try to access the floppy drive.
This would seem to indicate that the BIOS reprogramming was not successful or that
the BIOS ROM file was either damaged or not the correct one. Try the procedure
again using a different BIOS ROM file for your motherboard. Make sure that the BIOS
ROM file is for your exact motherboard model and revision.
PROBLEM: When the computer restarts the message ‘CMOS Checksum Bad’ and ‘Press F1 to
Enter Setup’ is displayed.
This is not necessarily a problem. This message is displayed when there are no
CMOS settings saved. This simply means that you need to set your system settings
(such as CPU speed, etc) Press whatever key you are prompted to and set the
CMOS settings accordingly.
PROBLEM: While trying to recover a AWARD BIOS the system starts to read from the floppy disk
and then stops and nothing else happens. When the system is rebooted it still has
the same problem.
This most likely indicates that there is something wrong with the boot disk. Double
check that the disk is bootable, contains the AUTOEXEC.BAT file, the BIOS flash
utility and the BIOS ROM (.BIN) file. If all of the files are present and the disk is
bootable then double check the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. Make sure that the name is
correct and that all of the commands are correct.
If you can see on the screen what the system is doing then try typing the commands
in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file manually to see if there is an error message that is
displayed. If everything checks out then try using a different BIOS ROM (.BIN) file. If
the problem persists use a different flash utility.

Check who's IPs is connected to you

Check who's IPs is connected to you
I stumbled across this on another board, and I found it so simple, yet helpful, I thought I'd share this with you.

All you have to do is:

- open notepad
- copy the following lines

@echo
@color 09
@netstat -n
@echo.
@pause

- save as getip.cmd
- move it to the desktop (or anywhere that catches your fancy)
- double-click on it to see the current TCP connections made to your PC!

change the netstat -n (the -n displays the info as numerical data) to netstat -a which will show all connections and listening ports. Also, putting a number in between the netstat and the -a will update at that interval. For instance, netstat 1 -a will update the info every 1 second, netstat 5 -a will update every 5 seconds and so on... If you don't want to use the -a option, you can still use the update interval with the -n option (example: netstat 5 -n)

You can also use these switches
netstat -a (display all active TCp connections and their ports)
netstat -e (displays ethernet stats)
netstat -n (displays active TCP connections)
netstat -s (displays statistics by protocol)
netstat -p protocol (shows connections for the protocol specified eg tcp, udp, tcpv6 or udpv6)
netstat -r (displays contents of the IP routing table)

The color command is followed by 2 hexadecimals, i think the first is text color and the 2nd is background color (or vice versa)

Searching Google for Music - Advanced Guide

*credit to my_haz for this superb guide on how to search Google.

This How-To will teach you how to use google to find mp3s. This How-To
will be highly pragmatic and will focus on the hows and not the
wherefores of the various search strings.

Index
----------------------------------------------------------------------
0) Key
1) Directories
2) Xitami Servers
3) Directory Listing
4) Andromeda Servers
5) Zina Artists
6) Apache mp3 Servers
7) Individual Songs

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 0 - KEY
----------------------------------------------------------------------

You this are just some definitions I will use below.

[Directory String] can be any of the following :
1) "index of"
2) "last modified"
3) "parent of"

[file type] can be any of the following :
1) "mp3"
2) "shn"
3) "wma"

[mp3 name] can be any of the following :
1) the name of the album in quotes
2) the name of the artist in quotes
3) be daring and leave it blank and have lots of links
4) be creative!

[limitors]
1) -html -htm -php -asp -txt -pls

(inurl:) is optional and may be omitted and in fact most be
omitted if not using a search tool other than google.

(intitle:) can be used in place of (inurl:) and has a similar effect
again you must be useing google.

(-filetype:txt) adding this to the end of your search string can
filter some false positives.

(-playlist) adding this to the end of your search string can
filter some false positives.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 1 - Directories
----------------------------------------------------------------------

These are the most common way that mp3s are stored on the www, you
should try these strings first.

String Format :
Type 1 : [Directory String] + (inurl:)[file type] + [mp3 name]
Type 2 : [Directory String] + (intitle:)[file type] + [mp3 name]

Type 3 : [Directory String] + [file type] + [mp3 name] + [limitors]

Example Strings :
- intitle:index.of + mp3 + "grandaddy" -html -htm -php -asp -txt -pls
- "index of" + "mp3" + "radiohead" -html -htm -php
- "index of" + mp3 + "grandaddy"
- "index of" + inurl:mp3 + "beatles" -txt -pls
- "index of" + intitle:mp3 + beatles
- "last modified" + "shn" + "dylan"
- "last modified" + inurl:shn + "bob dylan"
- "parent of" + inurl:wma + "grandaddy"

Suggestions :
- Try (intitle:index.of + "mp3" + "band name" -htm -html -php -asp) first it
is usually the most effective.

Another Little Trick:
- If you have been getting alot of results on google but the pages don't seem
to be there try adding dates and the "apache" string to your search i.e.

- intitle:index.of + mp3 + "grandaddy" -html -htm -php -asp apache feb-2005
- intitle:index.of + mp3 + "grandaddy" -html -htm -php -asp apache 2005

or if you just want a big list of mp3' doing a search like this everymonth

##########################################

2nd Method:

Here is a second example of maximizing search results on Google:

1. At Google Search, type in one of the following two phrases (try the first one; if you're not happy with the results, try the second one on your second search):

* "index of/mp3" -playlist -html -lyrics
* "index of/" mp3 -playlist -html -lyrics

2. If you'd like, add an artist's name or song name to the end of the phrase, then click the Search Button.
3. Here are a few examples:

* "index of/mp3" -playlist -html -lyrics beatles
* "index of/mp3" -playlist -html -lyrics punk

This tip helps you find directories filled with mp3 files by finding Apache's Index page:

1. At Google Search type in the following code:
2. +("index of") +("/mp3"|"/mp3s"|"/music") +(mp3|zip|rar) +apache
3. By editing this code, you can search for any type of media; oog, wav, pdf, etc.
4. Be sure to edit both the directory names as well as the file extensions if edited.

Finding mp3 and compressed files searching by title:

1. At Google Search type in the following code:
2. allinurl: +(mp3|rar|zip|tgz) TheTitle
3. Replace TheTitle with either a song title, artist name, or album.
4. Here are a few examples:
* allinurl: +(mp3|rar|zip|tgz) beatles
* allinurl: +(mp3|rar|zip|tgz) revolver
* allinurl: +(mp3|rar|zip|tgz) greatest hits

& to find cell phone programs:

just type the following line in your google search box and see experience a new world of finding games

for games
"parent directory" nokia games -xxx -html -htm -php -shtml -opendivx -md5 -md5sums

for tones
"parent directory " nokia polyphonic -xxx -html -htm -php -shtml -opendivx -md5 -md5sums

for symbian games
"parent directory " symbian games -xxx -html -htm -php -shtml -opendivx -md5 -md5sums

"parent directory " nokia wallpapers -xxx -html -htm -php -shtml -opendivx -md5 -md5sums

for general Midi
"parent directory " midi -xxx -html -htm -php -shtml -opendivx -md5 -md5sums

also try using "Index of" instead of "parent directory"
--------------------
and other tips:

You've probably seen some sites that allow you to Google their site for a certain term. This is accomplished via the "site" advanced operator. The following syntax is used for the site operator:

site:site_to_search

For example, if we wanted to search www.projectfearless.com
for the term "Nielsosky", we would use the following:

Nielsosky site:projectfearless.com

example:

site:blabla.com
----------------------------------------------------------

The "inurl" advanced operator is used to search for a term within
URL's. For example, searching for "inurl:binaryuniverse" searched
for all sites that have the term "binaryuniverse" in their URL.
The "intitle" is used to search for a term in the title. Thus,
"intitle:binaryuniverse" finds all pages with "binaryuniverse"
in their title.
------------------------------------------------------------
Google keeps caches of pages. When the Google spider indexes a page,
it stores a copy of it. Thus, the cache is a copy of what the page was
like at an earlier date. To view the cache for a page, you can simply
search for the page, and then click the "cache" link underneath.
However, there is a quicker way, that involves only typing in
search terms, and not clicking. Simply type "cache:pageurl.com"
to view the cache of a page (in this case pageurl.com).
------------------------------------------------------------
Google also allows you to search for pages of a certain filetype,
using the syntax "filetype:TYPE". Replace 'TYPE' with the file type
you want to search for. So, if you wanted to search for tutorials
on SQL that are in PDF format, you would search for the following:

SQL Tutorial filetype:PDF
--------------------------------------------------------------

Not only is Google the world's best search engine, it also happens
to be a mighty fine dictionary. To use it as a dictionary, just type
"define:TERM", and replace TERM with the word you wish to look up.
For example, if you want to look up "roflmao", type "define:roflmao",
without the quotes. This will give you several different resources
for definitions or roflmao. Fyi, roflmao means "rolling on the floor laughing my ass off".
----------------------------------------------------------------
And now, it's time for some fun -- Google whacking. Actually, after
a couple minutes, I have found Google whacking to become extremely
boring, not to mention frustrating. A google whack is a two-word query
that returns one result. You may not use quotes, and both words in
the query must be real words. And yes, it is very hard.
For more info, I suggest you check out http://googlewhacking.com

At this point, the basics of Google have been covered, and you should
be a moderately good Googler.

how to search for STUFF at google

method 1
put this string in google search:

"parent directory " /appz/ -xxx -html -htm -php -shtml -opendivx -md5 -md5sums

"parent directory " DVDRip -xxx -html -htm -php -shtml -opendivx -md5 -md5sums

"parent directory "Xvid -xxx -html -htm -php -shtml -opendivx -md5 -md5sums

"parent directory " Gamez -xxx -html -htm -php -shtml -opendivx -md5 -md5sums

"parent directory " MP3 -xxx -html -htm -php -shtml -opendivx -md5 -md5sums

"parent directory " Name of Singer or album -xxx -html -htm -php -shtml -opendivx -md5 -md5sums

Notice that i am only changing the word after the parent directory, change it to what you want and you will get a lot of stuff.

method 2
put this string in google search:

?intitle:index.of? mp3

You only need add the name of the song/artist/singer.
Example: ?intitle:index.of? mp3 jackson

method 3
put this string in google search:

inurl:microsoft filetype:???

method 4
put this string in google search:

intitle:index.of.???

method 5
put this string in google search:

"name of object"download
"name of object download"
free "name of object"download
free "name of object download"

Or just look for the filename(s).
and instead of using the inurl: tag, use site: that works too.

For Rapidshare:
http://www.google.com/search?q=+.zip+OR+.r...&start=510&sa=N

or movies:
http://www.google.com/search?q=+.wmv+OR+.a...l&start=10&sa=N

or music:
http://www.google.com/search?q=+.MP3+OR+.W...l&start=10&sa=N

Just play with the extensions.
---------------------------------------------
E-Books

inurl:ebook.DDU | inurl:ebook.EEN | inurl:ebook.JGT | inurl:ebook.LiB | inurl:ebook.EAT

There's a few ways to differentiate from that to change the outcome in your favor as well. For example, you can take away the "inurl:" to get many hits on things like forum posts or BitTorrent links. (Helpful if you're looking for something rare.)

You can also add the file type you like (such as PDF, CHM, LIT, etc) to get a specialized search. Finally, don't forget to put () or else Google may get confused. When defining a OR statement, Google expects the () to surround it. For example, you could search for:

You can also use "Parent Directory"+ in front of it but don't limit the search to Google, try several engines.

A nice site for Rabbits & webbits:

These are just a few of the things that you can search for using Google. It is an extremely powerful tool that can be used to find just about anything you could ever want on the internet. While I am not condoning pirating and filesharing, I feel that the sharing of information is absolutely essential to the survival of the internet. After all, the internet was founded on the idea of sharing information, Google just allows us to index all of that information into an easily searched archive.

20 Things About Win Xp

noreply@blogger.com (safri4u) — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 17:49:00 +0000

You've read the reviews and digested the key feature enhancements and operational changes. Now it's time to delve a bit deeper and uncover some of Windows XP's secrets.

1. It boasts how long it can stay up. Whereas previous versions of Windows were coy about how long they went between boots, XP is positively proud of its stamina. Go to the Command Prompt in the Accessories menu from the All Programs start button option, and then type 'systeminfo'. The computer will produce a lot of useful info, including the uptime. If you want to keep these, type 'systeminfo > info.txt'. This creates a file called info.txt you can look at later with Notepad. (Professional Edition only).

2. You can delete files immediately, without having them move to the Recycle Bin first. Go to the Start menu, select Run... and type 'gpedit.msc'; then select User Configuration, Administrative Templates, Windows Components, Windows Explorer and find the Do not move deleted files to the Recycle Bin setting. Set it. Poking around in gpedit will reveal a great many interface and system options, but take care -- some may stop your computer behaving as you wish. (Professional Edition only).

3. You can lock your XP workstation with two clicks of the mouse. Create a new shortcut on your desktop using a right mouse click, and enter 'rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation' in the location field. Give the shortcut a name you like. That's it -- just double click on it and your computer will be locked. And if that's not easy enough, Windows key + L will do the same.

4. XP hides some system software you might want to remove, such as Windows Messenger, but you can tickle it and make it disgorge everything. Using Notepad or Edit, edit the text file /windows/inf/sysoc.inf, search for the word 'hide' and remove it. You can then go to the Add or Remove Programs in the Control Panel, select Add/Remove Windows Components and there will be your prey, exposed and vulnerable.

5. For those skilled in the art of DOS batch files, XP has a number of interesting new commands. These include 'eventcreate' and 'eventtriggers' for creating and watching system events, 'typeperf' for monitoring performance of various subsystems, and 'schtasks' for handling scheduled tasks. As usual, typing the command name followed by /? will give a list of options -- they're all far too baroque to go into here.

6. XP has IP version 6 support -- the next generation of IP. Unfortunately this is more than your ISP has, so you can only experiment with this on your LAN. Type 'ipv6 install' into Run... (it's OK, it won't ruin your existing network setup) and then 'ipv6 /?' at the command line to find out more. If you don't know what IPv6 is, don't worry and don't bother.

7. You can at last get rid of tasks on the computer from the command line by using 'taskkill /pid' and the task number, or just 'tskill' and the process number. Find that out by typing 'tasklist', which will also tell you a lot about what's going on in your system.

8. XP will treat Zip files like folders, which is nice if you've got a fast machine. On slower machines, you can make XP leave zip files well alone by typing 'regsvr32 /u zipfldr.dll' at the command line. If you change your mind later, you can put things back as they were by typing 'regsvr32 zipfldr.dll'.

9. XP has ClearType -- Microsoft's anti-aliasing font display technology -- but doesn't have it enabled by default. It's well worth trying, especially if you were there for DOS and all those years of staring at a screen have given you the eyes of an astigmatic bat. To enable ClearType, right click on the desktop, select Properties, Appearance, Effects, select ClearType from the second drop-down menu and enable the selection. Expect best results on laptop displays. If you want to use ClearType on the Welcome login screen as well, set the registry entry HKEY_USERS/.DEFAULT/Control Panel/Desktop/FontSmoothingType to 2.

10. You can use Remote Assistance to help a friend who's using network address translation (NAT) on a home network, but not automatically. Get your pal to email you a Remote Assistance invitation and edit the file. Under the RCTICKET attribute will be a NAT IP address, like 192.168.1.10. Replace this with your chum's real IP address -- they can find this out by going to www.whatismyip.com -- and get them to make sure that they've got port 3389 open on their firewall and forwarded to the errant computer.

11. You can run a program as a different user without logging out and back in again. Right click the icon, select Run As... and enter the user name and password you want to use. This only applies for that run. The trick is particularly useful if you need to have administrative permissions to install a program, which many require. Note that you can have some fun by running programs multiple times on the same system as different users, but this can have unforeseen effects.

12. Windows XP can be very insistent about you checking for auto updates, registering a Passport, using Windows Messenger and so on. After a while, the nagging goes away, but if you feel you might slip the bonds of sanity before that point, run Regedit, go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Windows/Current Version/Explorer/Advanced and create a DWORD value called EnableBalloonTips with a value of 0.

13. You can start up without needing to enter a user name or password. Select Run... from the start menu and type 'control userpasswords2', which will open the user accounts application. On the Users tab, clear the box for Users Must Enter A User Name And Password To Use This Computer, and click on OK. An Automatically Log On dialog box will appear; enter the user name and password for the account you want to use.

14. Internet Explorer 6 will automatically delete temporary files, but only if you tell it to. Start the browser, select Tools / Internet Options... and Advanced, go down to the Security area and check the box to Empty Temporary Internet Files folder when browser is closed.

15. XP comes with a free Network Activity Light, just in case you can't see the LEDs twinkle on your network card. Right click on My Network Places on the desktop, then select Properties. Right click on the description for your LAN or dial-up connection, select Properties, then check the Show icon in notification area when connected box. You'll now see a tiny network icon on the right of your task bar that glimmers nicely during network traffic.

16. The Start Menu can be leisurely when it decides to appear, but you can speed things along by changing the registry entry HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Control Panel/Desktop/MenuShowDelay from the default 400 to something a little snappier. Like 0.

17. You can rename loads of files at once in Windows Explorer. Highlight a set of files in a window, then right click on one and rename it. All the other files will be renamed to that name, with individual numbers in brackets to distinguish them. Also, in a folder you can arrange icons in alphabetised groups by View, Arrange Icon By... Show In Groups.

18. Windows Media Player will display the cover art for albums as it plays the tracks -- if it found the picture on the Internet when you copied the tracks from the CD. If it didn't, or if you have lots of pre-WMP music files, you can put your own copy of the cover art in the same directory as the tracks. Just call it folder.jpg and Windows Media Player will pick it up and display it.

19. Windows key + Break brings up the System Properties dialogue box; Windows key + D brings up the desktop; Windows key + Tab moves through the taskbar buttons.

20. The next release of Windows XP, codenamed Longhorn, is due out late next year or early 2003 and won't be much to write home about. The next big release is codenamed Blackcomb and will be out in 2003/2004.

Add-Remove optional features of Windows XP

noreply@blogger.com (safri4u) — Sat, 23 Jan 2010 18:03:00 +0000

Add/Remove optional features of Windows XP

I first mentioned this technique in an old Technology Showcase for Windows 2000, but it still works in Windows XP, and can be quite useful: For some reason, Microsoft has removed the ability to specify which Windows components you want to install during interactive Setup, and when you go into Add/Remove Windows Components in the Control Panel, you still don't have the full list of applications and applets you can add and remove. Thankfully, this is easy to fix.
To dramatically expand the list of applications you can remove from Windows XP after installation, navigate to C:\WINDOWS\inf (substituting the correct drive letter for your version of Windows) and open the sysoc.inf file. Under Windows XP Professional Edition RC1, this file will resemble the following by default:
[Version] Signature = "$Windows NT$"
DriverVer=06/26/2001,5.1.2505.0

[Components]
NtComponents=ntoc.dll,NtOcSetupProc,,4
WBEM=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,wbemoc.inf,hide,7
Display=desk.cpl,DisplayOcSetupProc,,7
Fax=fxsocm.dll,FaxOcmSetupProc,fxsocm.inf,,7
NetOC=netoc.dll,NetOcSetupProc,netoc.inf,,7
iis=iis.dll,OcEntry,iis.inf,,7
com=comsetup.dll,OcEntry,comnt5.inf,hide,7
dtc=msdtcstp.dll,OcEntry,dtcnt5.inf,hide,7
IndexSrv_System = setupqry.dll,IndexSrv,setupqry.inf,,7
TerminalServer=TsOc.dll, HydraOc, TsOc.inf,hide,2
msmq=msmqocm.dll,MsmqOcm,msmqocm.inf,,6
ims=imsinsnt.dll,OcEntry,ims.inf,,7
fp_extensions=fp40ext.dll,FrontPage4Extensions,fp4 0ext.inf,,7

msmsgs=msgrocm.dll,OcEntry,msmsgs.inf,hide,7
msnexplr=ocmsn.dll,OcEntry,msnmsn.inf,,7
smarttgs=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,msnsl.inf,,7

Games=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,games.inf,,7
AccessUtil=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,accessor.inf,,7
CommApps=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,communic.inf,HIDE,7
MultiM=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,multimed.inf,HIDE,7
AccessOpt=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,optional.inf,HIDE,7
Pinball=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,pinball.inf,HIDE,7
MSWordPad=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,wordpad.inf,HIDE,7
ZoneGames=zoneoc.dll,ZoneSetupProc,igames.inf,,7

[Global]
WindowTitle=%WindowTitle%
WindowTitle.StandAlone="*"

The entries that include the text hide or HIDE will not show up in Add/Remove Windows Components by default. To fix this, do a global search and replace for , hide and change each instance of this to , (a comma). Then, save the file, relaunch Add/Remove Windows Components, and tweak the installed applications to your heart's content.

Add A Forum To Your Site

noreply@blogger.com (safri4u) — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 18:00:00 +0000

When you’re setting up a site using CSS, it’s a good idea to do a little planning ahead and think how you’ll be using your styles, otherwise you could end up spending much more time later.

As a case in point – for a site I’ve recently built, a basic style sheet was put together, with entries for matters like headlines, section headings, item headings and so on. When it came to forms on the site that needed headings next to the data entry boxes, the logical choice was the item headings style. It helped maintain a consistent look across the site, but it came back to bite me later. The reason? After some feedback from the beta testers, a left margin was added, so that text didn’t butt up against the left-side of a browser window. You might think that is fairly straightforward. And it would be, but for the fact that simply adding a margin to all the CSS styles would do the same wherever a style was used, making the headings on some of the forms look a little odd.

So, the solution was to duplicate the appropriate style – before adding the margin to it – and call the new duplicate something useful like ‘formItemHeading’. Then, amend the original item heading style to add the margin and, finally, go through the entire site changing headings in forms to the new style. It’s tedious work and something that could have been avoided had I done the thing that I’m always urging other people to do – plan, plan and plan. Even if you first imagine that two types of element on your page – in my case item headings, and form box headings – will look the same, remember that they are separate items and, though it might feel tedious at the time, create a separate CSS style for each type of item. It will save you a lot of time if you need Building a community Add a forum to your site and planning ahead with CSS to make changes to the style sheet later . You’ll just need to alter the style sheet – which is best saved as a separate file, rather than included in each document, for large sites – instead of having to manually edit every page and reassign styles later. It’s far better to end up with a few extra styles in your style sheet than to have too few. The amount of data in a style sheet is trivial, so it’s really not going to make any difference to the download time of your site.

Attracting visitors One of the things that most web designers would like is for their site to be visited by lots of people. You can promote it – but not by using junk mail – and mention it elsewhere on the Internet, put it in your email signature and arrange reciprocal links with similar sites. But none of that is much use unless there’s a compelling reason for people to keep coming back. So, how do you tackle that sort of thing? It was one of the issues facing the site on which I had my style sheet tribulations. It’s a site that’s intended to be a resource for users of a digital video recorder, which can be enhanced via software downloads.

But a site that simply lists things you can download isn’t terribly exciting, so we needed something to try and draw people back. The obvious answer to that is forums.

Discussion forums can help provide a community and draw people back to your site to see the answers to questions they’ve posed. Obviously, they’re not relevant to every site, but for the site in question, it seemed a logical idea. And one that immediately raises the question – how do I add a forum? There are several packages that you can use to provide forums. In some cases, the type of forum that you can install will depend on your web host. Two of the most popular and well known are phpBB and YaBB. The former is actually a component of the PHP Nuke (www.phpnuke.org) open source portal system, though you can install it separately, if you don’t want all the other portal functions.

As you can guess from the name, you need PHP on your web server to run phpBB. You’ll also need the MySQL database, which is used as the back-end of the system – don’t worry if you don’t have the two on the main part of your site. If you have a site like www.nigelwhitfield.com, it won’t look odd if you use a separate site like forum.nigelwhitfield.com to host your discussions, but obviously you’ll also need to be able to manage the DNS entries to set that up. YaBB is written in Perl, which is also a very popular scripting language and available on many web servers. Rather than use a database, it stores its information in text files, so all you need is the ability to run Perl scripts on your web host, rather than PHP scripting, MySQL and full access to a database. On the downside, the file structure might store up problems for the future if you’re running a very busy site.

In the end, though, we went with YaBB (www.yabbforum.com), which is very easy to set up. It’s a simple matter of downloading a zip file, unpacking it and then uploading the files to your web server. You need to edit the Settings.pl file to tell the scripts where your files are stored, both in terms of the URL and of the directory on the server, and then make sure the script is set so that it can be executed. Then log in to the web page with the default admin user name and password, and fill in a few simple web forms to set up your forums. It really is extremely easy to do. If you want to tweak the design a little, for instance, to match the colour scheme of your website, it’s easy – just click on the Admin link, and you can alter the template file, with its CSS definitions from within your browser. That really is just about all it took – certainly less than half an hour. Even if you’re not familiar with Perl, it’s not exactly difficult to edit the settings file and get up and running. If you want a forum on your site, it’s well worth taking a look at. A forum isn’t necessarily the only thing that you’ll need.

On the site I was setting up, we decided that it would be a good idea to have a function that allowed users to build up a personal page with information and quick links to the things they want to download. It’s a handy tool that might help bring people back – especially since you can then email people when a new version of a product in their list appears, providing you seek their consent. And to help tie it in with the forums, and give an incentive to register, the functions restricted only to those who have signed up for the forums. That might sound complicated, but it’s a lot simpler to do than you might imagine. All you do is check for the cookie that’s set when a user logs in to the forums, and only allow the personalisation scripts to run when that’s set. In the case of YaBB, the default cookie is called YaBBusername, though you can change it if you like. You can check for the presence of the cookie with some PHP code like this, which, if before the HTML section of a document, will redirect to the forum home page if the cookie is not there.

<?php if ( ! isset($HTTP_COOKIEd _VARS[‘YaBBusername’]) )

{ header(‘Location: d www.mysite.com/cgi-d bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi’) ; exit ; }

(Key: d code string continues)

You may want to redirect to a different page, explaining why people need to sign into the forums. Linking functions of the site like this can help to encourage people to sign up, since there’s a tangible benefit to doing so. But don’t do it just for the sake of it – think of how people might want to use your site and work around that. Pointlessly restricting functions or sections of your site is likely to turn people away, rather than encourage them. Reader queries David Boswell asks: ‘is it possible to reduce the size of an Excel spreadsheet saved as a web page, other than by printing out, scanning and reducing it as an object? Printing out in Excel does not reproduce the macro buttons and I also need the very best definition I can get. Using the zoom factor on the spreadsheet before saving it as a web page does not seem to work.’ The answer is, sort of. When you save a web page as Excel, either on a Mac or PC, what’s created – unless you use embedded objects inWindows – is simply an HTML table, with formulas changed to the results they use. (Actually, strictly speaking, the formulas are still there, in XML, so the spreadsheet could be recreated from the HTML file). At the top of the file, you’ll find an embedded stylesheet. You can edit that – you could set up a global search and replace if you do this often – to alter the options, including font sizes, so that you end up with the desired effect. If you have the last twoWeb Development columns, you can now marvel at the forethought of including a crash course on CSS in them. Alternatively, depending on the browser you’re using, you have a few different options. In Internet Explorer, the View/Text Size menu options won’t work because there are sizes specified in the document. But if you choose Accessibility from the Internet Options, you can override text sizes and styles in the document, which will then allow the menu options to increase or decrease text size to work. You could even create your own style sheet to apply, though that would only be worth the effort if you used an almost identical spreadsheet template a lot. If you’re using Opera, you can zoom in and out of a page, regardless of the style sheet that’s been applied, so you can easily fit more of a spreadsheet into theWindows. And you can also click the drop-down view mode menu at the right to switch to User mode, which will use your own default styles, instead of the ones specified in the file.

noreply@blogger.com (safri4u) — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 09:23:00 +0000

This is one the hard tasks for those who really want to test their pages whether the ads are placed properly or not. But Google adsense provides the feature of testing the ads so that the false cannot e created....
BY following the below procedure you can avoid yourself by not getting your account canceled.

Those who use adsense would understand that it requires a lot of
testing and retesting before arriving at that perfect layout for your
ads. This testing might lead to a lot of unwanted impressions (that are
against adsense TOS). Here are the two ways, I test my adsense ads
without fear of invalid/excess impressions.

1) Use images exactly of the same size of the ad you are going to use. Pick the adsense images here.

2) Many a times you might want to check the layout rendered after
the actual javascript is executed. Add a parameter google_adtest =
“on”; to your adsense code and place it where you want to intend to put
the actual code. For ex: If your adsense code is-

<script type="text/javascript"><!--

google_ad_client = "pub-****************";

/* 200x200, created 08/08/08 */

google_ad_slot = "12345678";

google_ad_width = 200;

google_ad_height = 200;

//-->

</script>

<script type="text/javascript"

src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">

</script>

The code after adding the parameter would become-

<script type="text/javascript"><!--

google_ad_client = "pub-****************";

/* 200x200, created 08/08/08 */

google_ad_slot = "12345678";

google_ad_width = 200;

google_ad_height = 200;

google_adtest = "on";

//-->

</script>

<script type="text/javascript"

src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">

</script>

With google_adtest=”on” , though you will see the ads related to
your content, no impression or ad click will be added to your account
and hence you are safe. I guess you must be wondering that Google
adsense TOS does not allow any change of code then how come I am doing
it. I have verified this from the Google Adsense team and they are ok
with it.

Thinking to make incentive clicks with adesnse | think againa

noreply@blogger.com (safri4u) — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 08:59:00 +0000

Thinking to cheat AdSense?
Stop that. It will never bring you anywhere. You might pull it off with
smaller ads network, but definitely not with Google. Here are some
detection methods they might use. At the very least, they have the
resources to do so.

IP Address

If the AdSense click is originated from the same IP Address as the one
used for accessing your AdSense account, your account is flagged.

Cookies

Most home users do not use static IP Address for Internet connection.
In most cases just disconnect and reconnect will give you a new IP
Address. But don’t forget, Google has set cookies on your computer.

Other Google Services

Thinking that you are safe just because you do not access your AdSense
account? Think again. This time, consider these: GMail, Google Earth,
Google Calendar, Google Search, Google Toolbar, Google Talk, Google
Sitemap, Google Desktop, Blogger, and so on, and so on. With the wide
range of services they provide, Google can trace the originator of most
(or probably almost all) clicks.

Click Pattern 1

Oh, why this computer / IP address / person is so trigger-click-happy
on this particular website but never click on the ads on other sites?

Click Pattern 2

And why is it that people accessing these sites direct (type-in URL or
from bookmark) tend to be very active ad-clickers compared with those
referred from search engine or other sites?

Click Pattern 3
And why the ad-clickers like to hit and run, compared with non ad-clickers that surf a few pages before leaving?

Click-Through-Rate (CTR)
Your CTR may range from 0.5% to 10%, but if it exceeds a certain point (probably around 10%), you are flagged.

Geo-Location

Used Urchin (Google Analytics) before? Then you should know that Google
can trace traffics origin down to the small town. Different IP doesn’t
mean much. Unless you site is really targetted to one small geo-point,
a high number of clicks from nearby location will get you banned
quickly.

Hardware address?
MAC address of the LAN card, modem, and router works almost like a fingerprint. I’m not sure if Google can track this, but probably they do. They have rocket scientist, remember?

Advertisers conversion rate

Ad click is one thing. But does it bring value to the advertisers? If
none of the clicks on your site translate to conversion to the
advertiser, you are in trouble. First the Smart-Pricing hits, then your
AdSense account disabled.

Search Engine Ranking

Your website is not indexed on any search engine, not linked by any
prominent website, but get consistently high traffic? That sounds like
something is in play. Regardless of whether it is an adware-embedded
software, spam, trojan clickbot, or intentionally installed
click-exchange network, it doesn’t sound right.

Webpage design

How about the “click here” or “support us”? Google has the best search
engine in the world. Is it really that hard to find those words?

Combo

Each of these detection methods might seem rather weak. But combine
them together, and not many click-fraud can pass-through these filters.
Even the smartest clickbot will have a hard time.
In short, it is almost impossible to cheat AdSense in the long term.
Instead of spending time, money, and effort trying to outsmart Google,
try these tips to improve your AdSense earning.

Disclaimer
: I’m not working for Google nor in anyway know anyone inside Google.
Google might or might not use these methods to detect click-fraud. I’d
believe that they have much better detection mechanism.

8 Secrets on How to Keep Yourself Posting Into Your Blog

noreply@blogger.com (safri4u) — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 08:28:00 +0000

Motivation is something that inspires you to take action, gives you drive, nurtures enthusiasm! It spurs you on and provides an impetus to continue, an overall driving force! It helps you want to keep going when things are tough and one part of you wants to quit!So I thought it might be worthwhile to post something here about how to keep yourself posting.

1. Break bigger goals into smaller goal and set up a reward system . Decide how often you absolutely have to post. Decide also your way to reward yourself once you've accomplished your goal over a certain period of time. (Just don't reward yourself with days off from posting!)
2. Encourage your readers to share feedback. Ask them what they want to hear about. You are better motivated knowing what you are about to post is what your readers want.
3. Stockpile posts in times where you feel so motivated. Save them for days when you're low on time and energy to write a post.
4. Setup a regular schedule as blogging time. Chances are you'll find it easy to get a post done when you try to stick to your schedule.
5. Blog about not feeling motivated to blog and you will get some resolution while writing your post.
6. Create an inspiring reason for your commitment. Perhaps get a notebook and write down the answers on how would you define successful blogging?
7. Make it FUN! Try to make the process of blogging entertaining and enjoyable. You don't have to force yourself to do something that you really like to do, do you? In fact, making fun your focus will insure that your way of blogging will become more fruitful.
8. Above all, take time to acknowledge and celebrate how your life has changed because of your daily commitment and your investment in yourself. Notice the benefits of being an active blogger and celebrating every stage of your blog's growth.

You may have your own way on how to keep yourself get motivated to post often and regularly. Care to share it with others. Help others get motivated. You are welcome to place your valuable inputs and insights in the comment area.

Mistakes done by NewBie bloggers

noreply@blogger.com (safri4u) — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 04:14:00 +0000

Here are some of the biggest mistakes newbies make. If you are a newbie and making any of these mistake, its time to take your lesson.

This post is for people who are just planning to enter into an online business and want to make money online. With the economy going south and the more and more job losses everyday, this post can be helpful for those people.

So, have a look:

1. Not believing that money can be made online.
2. Assuming that making money online is very easy.
3. Giving up too early (actually, at a time when you are just going to make it).
4. Starting a “how to make money online blog.”
5. Buying all those “make quick money” ebooks for $10 to $100 each on digital point forum.
6. Starting many things together and loosing enthusiasm in completing them.
7. Creating an e-commerce site (based on BANS etc.) of hundreds of pages and assuming sales will come.
8. Entering into a niche which they know nothing about. Just entered because it is a profitable niche.
9. Targeting very generic niches and not giving much attention to long tail keywords.
10. Not having anybody for their help (its not their mistake, but still).
11. Not willing to spend any money or actually spending too much money (without know that it will produce results or not).
12. Assuming that they are clever than search engines/advertisers and breaking their TOS.
13. Using those link farms to get easy links.
14. Spamming social networking sites and then getting banned.

These are the few which are coming to my mind right now. Do you know some more and would like to add here, please add them.
