It is always my problem on rearranging my time, Doing lots of meeting and commitments inside and outside the office and open times there are some meeting and To do Notes missed. Although I am using my for those purpose sometime I am still missing it.

So perhaps a reminder on my Desktop which occupies my time almost 8 to 12 hours a day will be the next good thing to have.

I have been very busy this past few days that is why I was not able to blog often and thanks to talking atomic alarm clock which is one of my to manage my time.

I have outlook which have that same features but still the skin of outlook is dull. and with a very limited features. Not unlike talking atomic alarm clock you can have different skins. While Say the Time is installed at my computer I can easily see the Time and date at right corner of my screen.

The interface on its setting is very easy that a novice could easily understand on how the program works. And since I am dealing with International contact knowing the time on their place is an advantage for me.  That is why the world time Clock feature on of the feature which will be very helpful to the user.

In conclusion having this tool in your computer is a must have feature. Did I tell you that this is a sponsored post? Well It is but as what I have told on the review this is a great tool and I intend to retain this post in the archive.

Converting any Computer Generated Documents into PDF

Posted on by

Most of the time you are being required to make PDF files output of your work. But what if you don’t have an in your computer. An option will be to print it in a printer and they will scan it in a scanner.

I may suggest that a very good for office or at home is the Primo PDF. This is a free software that could be downloaded here . Primo PDF converts any Computer generated documents into a PDF format file.

This tool could also be used in printing file Autocad or any other program. It will serves as your printer but the only difference is it will gives a pdf output.

I am doing this review not because they pay me to do so but as a way of thank you for helping me in doing my job well done.

Below is download.com definition of Primo PDF.

PrimoPDF is a free tool for high-quality PDF creation, comprising a user-friendly interface that enables printing to PDF from virtually any Windows application. Additionally, PrimoPDF provides the ability to optimize PDF output for screen, print, ebook, and prepress, secure PDF files with 40- or 128-bit encryption, and add document information (e.g. title, author, subject, keywords) to converted PDF files. Full support for 64-bit machines, double byte character and non-TrueType font support, enhanced support for Windows 98, ME, NT, and Vista and improved PDF output also now available. Please note that this download is for 32-bit machines only. A 64-bit installer is available at the developer’s Web site.

Version 3.1 introduces the ability to merge and append PDF files.

Comparing speed of converting Word or document to PDF vs Adobe , I will go with Primo as per my experience it is much faster to convert thru Primo rather than from Adobe. I am using Adobe 7.1 Professional.

In Conclusion having this tool is a must to have in your computer. I just hope this tool will my readers. What about you do you have any other program being use for this type of application? Let us know by your comments.

google_ad_section_start–>

It’s been a long question in my memory on how do investigators track the location of the e-mail. Until I found out a post from Daily Cup of Tech that  E-Mail could be track using the Email Header. I tried to understand this thing and stopspam.org helps a lot also to understand how it can be done. 

You can also see some useful information regarding the anatomy of the email here , here and

Below listed Online has also been identified by Daily Cup Tech as a useful when it come to Email Tracking

  • Email Graphic Traceroute – A very useful and easy to use tool. Simply paste your header into the web page and it will generate a Google map mashup showing you exactly where the e-mail has gone.
  • Geobytes Free Services – A huge list of useful free services that all rely on being able to associate an IP address to a physical location. These services include:
  • DNS Report – A very comprehensive look at a specific name. Also provides an option to check an e-mail address.
  • Network Tools – A lot of very useful IP and DNS tools including:
    • ping
    • lookup
    • trace route
    • whois

In general there are still ways to alter this header by a professional hackers I may say.. and definitely i am not that one. If any of you have more information on how to get this header in an email it will be appreciated to increase knowledge about this things. But frankly speaking I am still having a hard time to get this header. Because I cannot find it on my outlook. LOL

Adsense and SEO Tips

Posted on by
9

Adsense

  1. Don’t forget to to your site.
  2. Content is still the king of Adsense since your 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 ( with particular topics an example is Philippine Election 2007 ( niche is Philippine Election )and others.
  5. Mixed the color of your 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 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 ( 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 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>

  3. I am putting 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 & to increase visibility of your site.
  10. Go to the known site among your niche who is using & 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
  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

  1. I use which makes my life easier.
  2. I use to host my pictures of this blog and my blogs.
  3. Some says that pictures for your post gives more attraction to the readers. You may see how Techcrunch & makes the post.

I-mate PDAL Technical Review

Posted on by
4

google_ad_section_start–>

 

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

Cellphone

As a I may say that i-mate PDAL is not really good compared to 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.

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

I have some problem with its since whenever I work with 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.

google_ad_section_start–>

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 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.

Google AdSense referrals beta

Posted on by

google_ad_section_start–>

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 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
