Anything Tech

Are you having hard time to get some information for your niche blog. Well I have made a post over Pinoytechblog regarding this matter. In addition I would like you to use an alternative ways using RSS feeds. This is with the use of Firefox Extension SAGE. As a response to a friend request over a comment on my post for Firefox 2.0.0.3 below is my idea about it.

Sage is a lightweight RSS and Atom feed aggregator extension for Mozilla Firefox. It’s got a lot of what you need and not much of what you don’t…

Sage is a lightweight RSS and Atom feed aggregator extension for Mozilla Firefox. It’s got a lot of what you need and not much of what you don’t.
* Reads RSS (2.0, 1.0, 0.9x) and Atom feeds
* Feed Discovery
* Integrates with Firefox’s bookmark storage and Live Bookmarks
* Imports and exports OPML feed lists
* Newspaper feed rendering customizable via style sheets
* Technorati and RSS search engine integration
* Support for the following locales: Argentine Spanish, Catalan, Chinese, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Serbian, Slovenian, Spanish, and Swedish

Works with:

Firefox: 1.0 – 2.0.0.*  ( It also works with Firefox 2.0.0.3 )

Based on my usage it is almost same as netvibes but the best thing here is you will not be required to put any password in order to view the feeds. The feeds will then be exported temporarily at your hard disk c: . But ofcourse before using this extension you should be able to download the Firefox Toolbar.

I have upgraded my firefox toolbar to the latest Firefox 2.0.0.3 as suggested by their site.

This site recommends using Firefox Toolbar for safe Browsing.

Are you using Google Adsense  and Google Toolbar Affiliate referral in your site? Well I think you have to test also the latest affiliate system by adsense.

Now accepting applications for new referrals beta

Many of you already use referrals to direct users to your favorite Google products. Now, with our new referrals beta, you can select products and services from our base of AdWords advertisers. This is good news for those of you who have wanted to use referrals in the past, but couldn’t find a product to match your site’s content. With the referrals beta, you can search for products that match up directly with your site’s content. And you can customize your referral units to match the look and feel of your site, making it easier than ever to find a referral ad that fits in seamlessly with your site’s design and content.
What’s more, Google can help make sure you find and display the most relevant, best-performing referral ads on your site. Simply provide a few keywords to describe your site and your users’ interests, and you’ll see ads automatically displayed that perform best for your site. No more constant updating, rotating products, or guesswork.
As with our current Google referrals, you’ll generate earnings when your visitors click through to an advertiser’s site and complete an action defined by your advertisers, such as a sale or sign-up. Because these actions are often more involved than a simple click or impression, advertisers pay more for these referrals, which can translate into higher earnings for your site.
While we plan to open this up to all publishers in the near future, this update is currently only available on a limited basis as part of our beta test. If you are interested in being one of our beta testers, please visit the referrals beta site and sign up.

Here is the process shown Google Adsense Referral Beta

You select the ads you want to appear on your site

Leverage your knowledge of your users to choose ads that will interest them and perform well.

Start-up Guide >>

Users click on ads and perform a specified action

Specified actions may be a purchase/sale, a lead, a signup or some other advertiser-defined action.

Frequently Asked Questions >>

You get paid once the user completes the action.

As soon as the user completes the action, your AdSense account will be credited. Easy as that.

About us

Ensiting.com is all about making it easier to do something we all sometimes do – sending a link we like to our friends, recommending them a good article we just read, or share with them the joy of playing a cool flash game we’ve found.

True, you can already do that – just use your email. But Outlook takes awfully long to load, and what if you’re using a web-based email? Sounds reasonable to do it all from within your browser – a few quick clicks and you’re off to the next web-site.

But there is also more than that. How about receiving your recommendations from within your browser as well? Have a spare moment – check out the sites your friends have recommended you, again, with a single click on the toolbar. Want to keep browsing? Our site offers a list of recently recommended sites, and also a list of the most popular recommendations.

We hope you will find working with our site and toolbar useful and easy. If you have any comment, suggestion or just want to say hi – we’ll be more than happy to hear!

I have seen lots of post yesterday and today regarding February income of a blog one of which is johnchow.com which reported of having an income of $7,011.05 which is pretty good for a blog. It made me an idea to give also my earnings this February.

Above is the adsense earnings I got from my 2 Blogsites ( Praise and Worship Song Lyrics & Philippine Eleksyon 2007 ) I made last January. For this particular site I am not yet monetizing this by adsense because I still have a low Page Views a day. So my primary goal for this site is to increase my visitors by giving an interesting idea at this blog. Below is the Total Earning for the month of February

Adsense = US$ 36.95 ( Praise and Worship Song Lyrics & Philippine Eleksyon 2007 )

Money4Blogs = US$ 30.00 ( Praise and Worship Song Lyrics )

Load.com.ph = US$ 2.68

Grand Total = US$ 69.63

Not bad for a newbie like me. It do hope that I can beat this by March. What about you do you have an income last February? It was only today that I beat US 50.00 Mark of adsense and so I am waiting now for my PIN. And I have made a promis that all income of Praise and Worship Song Lyrics will be used in the Ministry.

Do you still have in doubt if those affiliates and Google adsense is giving money? Why don’t you check Cheques Gallery site and see for yourself the proof of money. His labels here shows categories from different source of money.
