It is from Chitika.com, There are 30 known blogger who gives ideas on how they start and maintain their blogging career. You can download the e-book Here .

After reading post at fingertalks it gives me an idea how to increase my bloglog community and perhaps get a backlink from those links that I will make in here.( I hope so ) Here is the deal just be a member of my community and I will make a post perhaps every week to report my new members who will join my community. You may leave a comments in here so that I will know what particular blogs that you author you want me to link here. I have made the 10 links of my community members.

Adsense Tips

1. Don’t forget to guide the Google spider to your site.
2. Content is still the king of Adsense since your Adsense advertiser will based on the keywords that is available at your site.
3. Use the keywords that is likely to be searchable in your blog : ( You may check this keywords tool )
4. Blog Niche ( Blogs with particular topics an example is Philippine Election 2007 ( niche is Philippine Election )and others.
5. Mixed the color of your Adsense into the color of your blog
6. If possible do not use borders in you adsense code.
7. The best location of search box is on the upper right corner
8. Monetize your blog if you have about 100 or more visitors a day
9. Don’t Monetize those blogs that there is no visitors since as per my experience whenever I put the code in those site without good amount of Visitors the adsense ecpm un other blogs is not performing well.
10. Do not click your own ads or get banned. ( very important )
11. Do not bring your adsense in an area where there is danger in clicks. Adsense might banned you for this
12. Put your adsense code in an area wherein if somebody landed on your page they can easily see them.
13. Use Firepox as your browser
14. Predict the keywords that your possible reader will look in the future. For example in my Philippine Election 2007 site I have predicted that after the election date, most of Filipinos will look for ” Election Result ” and therefore the next post that I made mentioned about the ” election result “, “proclaimed Winner” etc.
15. Make good use of the Ad Channels,this will give you information on what adsense type is giving good convertion
16. If your blogs is having a very high traffic I would suggest you have to use picture ads but if not you better use text only and not combine. Based on my experiment text gives a higher CTR ( Click Through Rate ) than Pictures.
17. Put some Link Text at the upper portion of your blog under the header pictures
18. Stop MFA at your site! Although it has been reported that adsense is stopping this MFA ( Made for Adsense ) Site.
19. I turned off my onsite advertiser sign up . Some says that it might increase your CTR ( No hard evidence but it is worth trying )
20. Hold your payment until it reaches your desired amount then use the DHL service in receiving the cheque.
21. Keep on reading my blog entry for adsense
22. Last but not the list subscribe to my RSS and Email.. ( nice huh )

SEO Tips

I may only speak for those using blogspot free blog services because this is what I am using.

1. Always put tags on your post
2. I use Site Search Tags in my post with format as follows format as follows ( Applicable to blogspot only ) . As per my experience
   • <a href=http://techathand.blogspot.com/search?q=Tips+and+Tricks rel=”tag”>Tips and Tricks</a>
   • Resulting link = Tips and Tricks

3. I am putting Google Analytics code in my blog to monitor the areas in which I need to improve my blog
4. Comment !!! comment !!!! to any site that relates to yours. The tendency is the visitor of the site might visit your site and stay if they find your site interesting.
5. Participate in contest to have link from other site ( like Jannete Toral’s Contest & Other Contest)
6. Do some speed linking to others site, Tipping your visitor about the good information you have seen while browsing.
7. Look for a good post in the net and blog about it. The tendency, a possible link back will be done.
8. Avoid broken link
9. Join the Social website like Mybloglog & blogcatalog.com to increase visibility of your site.
10. Go to the known site among your niche who is using Mybloglog & blogcatalog.com then try to contact their recent visitor and inform them about your blog and add them as your contact.
11. Join site that allows you to can post and you direct your readers to your site. an example is pinoyblogosphere.com , pinoyblog.com , promote your site ( If you have others let me know thru comments )
12. Join Technorati.com in order for you to monitor who’s linking to you and don’t forget to fave me.
13. If possible make a contest that will direct some visitor to your site. It is recommended to make contest after your site reach a sufficient number of post so that any visitor will have lots of option to go at your site. It is useless to drive traffic on your site if you don’t have sufficient amount of post.

Other Tips

I would like to thank Dango for giving a very nice review for this site here, His site deals with different reviews for different blogs over the net. You just have to inform him that you need his reviews and presto if He have time He will make it for you. So Thanks again Dango.

I might be a little late for this contest but thanks to bob for leaving me comments in order to have a chance to win his Nintendo DS Lite. It is much appreciated that is why I made this post.

Bob over at BobmeetsWorld.com is giving away a free Nintendo DS Lite with a few games because it’s his birthday in May. While you’re there, check out some great posts about generating traffic and getting more rss subscribers. And don’t forget to wish him a happy birthday

Well actually I do not know what is this? I have not have a chance to use something like this.. .. Anyway ..I know there will be lots to participate but who know maybe I will be blessed enough to get this..

Somewhere Over the Debt, a blog about finding ways to make money online and living life on your own terms, is giving away a free copy of the book, The AdSense code by Joel Comm.

The New York Post is the first major publication to talk about the June 1st Adsense ordeal. in which Google will be stopping those MFA Site. Google have issued a letter to all MFA Site. But the best thing here is they will be paid all their earnings until end of May. So I think it will reduce my Blocked site.

Will it benefit the publisher?

I think it will, Because those MFA are those adsense players giving a very low CPC in exchange for a higher CPC that somebody might click their site.

Well me I am planning to get my own domain but this might come true before the end of this year. Maybe after earning some bucks from the adsense on my other site,then this dream shall come true.

A blogger who is using blogspot.com as her domain has decided to have her own domain. In relation to this decided to start a Cash Quest Competition . Her blogs deals with  how to make money online . The Prize is about $100.00 to the lucky winner who will participate on her new Competition.

I think Kumiko’s blog is still hosted by blogspot.com using  her own domain name. This is the advantage of Blogspot.com compared to WordPress.com. Since if you are using WordPress.com You have to pay US $10 in Domain redirecting. but in Blogspot.com it is free.

Didi I told you that this post is equivalent to 150 Tickets on her Competition.

I Have seen this Technorati Train in here

Hope this satisfies the requirement of janette.

Sitemeter has shown changes in their stats representation. In my personal opinion their changes is better compared to their old stat representation. They are having the qty of visitors and Page view in a table form.

In general, Their changes is a good one.  

 I am wondering if I could use my PDA Mobile with Windows Mobiles 5 in receiving my e-mail at the office using POP and it succeed. How do I make it? just follow the settings mentioned below

e-mail Address : youremailadd@gmail.com

username : youremailadd@gmail.com

incoming mail server : pop.gmail.com

outgoing mail serer : smtp.gmail.com

Domain : ” Blank”

Incoming Mail server required SSL authentication : ” Check it “

Outgoing Mail server required SSL authentication : ” Check it “

use separate setting : ” Do not check “

Get message header only

This is also applicable if you have a company e-mail. When you tried top open your email thru the net using Microsoft exchange server or whatever try to look at the lower left corner of the screen while the net is asking the password, this number which could you see at the lower left end is usually the incoming mail server / outgoing mail server of your company then follow other details as mention above.

I just had an i-mate PDAL  2 mos ago and here is my review for it.

Cellphone

As a phone I may say that i-mate PDAL is not really good compared to Nokia Cellphone Since sometimes I am having a hard time to hear what others person is saying. It is sometimes hard to stop or hung up the phone.

PDA

I think as a PDA, i-mate PDAL is great in my 2 mos of usage it hungs only once, during my early usage of this phone. I have installed my bible thru e-sword site and it performs ok.

Office Tools

I have some problem with its excel since whenever I work with excel and tried to edit my previous work I have to rename and save us the document or else if you save it on the same documents it will tell you an error.

Alarm Clock

I may say that this is not design as an alarm clock since the sound is very low while alarming

Internet Usage

You can use it thru Internet but the problem you have to use the built in explorer or else you have to purchase Opera mini but in comparison with Nokia, Windows mobile phone is much more like a deskstop.

If you are subscribe in the Internet which is being paid per kb, this is not advisable but if you are using the net that is being payed per hour I think this is perfect.

The best thing here is you can also use thru Wi Fi connection.

Reminder

This is a very good tool for reminding since the next reminder even if it is before 3 days you can see the list and keep on reminding you what to do.

Typing

Since there is no keypad for this mobile there are 4 option for you to choose

Block recognizer

Keyboard

Letter Recognizer

Transcriber

Battery

The battery is ok,It may stand till 3 days if you are not using heavily. But if you will use it on a heavy usage It will only last a day. The best thing here is the data is not being lost when the battery is drain not unlike other PDA where when the battery is out the data is out also.

Sound

If you will by this just to here music, I recommend no to buy, The sound system is not that sophisticated not like Nokia.

Email

You can view your office email and gmail thru this phone using POP3. I will post later how you could do it.

In general I may say that this phone is perfect for business purpose but if you are looking for a phone for pleasure purpose, you will just waist your money buying i-mate PDAL I suggest by a NOKIA brand model.

This is the review that I could share to you. I am using the i-mate PDAL for about 2 mos and I am satisfied in General on Its perfromance.  This is not a paid review.
