First I won't talk about the errors but the right method and after it you'll never get errors!
Blogger supports 2 templates format.
There's 2 templates format that Blogger support.
The Classic format
The New format: XML
Then when you download a template, else you'll find a text file or an XML file.
If you found a text file: It's the Classic template.
If you found an XML file: It's the new template.
Which is better? The new sure why?
Because you can arrange and create element easily. However you need to type if you use the old blogger templates.
Now we came to install.
If the templates is classic.
Go to layout > Edit HTML and then select "reverse to classic template"
Then copy and paste your code
If the template is XML
Go to layout > Edit HTML and then click browse and select the XML file then upload it!
(Don't copy and paste the XML code)
The problem occur? Post a comment?
Top commentator ever will have a constant link
How to become the top commentator: Simply comment my posts, you can post question, play jokes or tell about additional information.
When the contest will end?
In the end of the next month (30 April), I'll end the contest and give the top commentator this small price.
What do you wait, start commenting now. There's already Jason, that is getting the first place with 16 comments!

After you tube, Blogger and writer it's time for Double Click!
It's strange but do you think that Google can continue this expansion.
In 2002 Google was 400 million$ only and now it's more than 13 billion$!
Do you think that Google may loose all its power in short time (break down)??
I wait your comments :)

Blogger Hack : Why templates doesn't install?

The problem occur? Post a comment?
You have to think many times on it.
Now see, return to your self. How many site do you still remember? Do you remember subdomains sites even if they short?
If so, you have a genial memory. But it isn't the case for 1.3 milliard people browsing the web.
The problem is in the domain. So why not buy one?
You want it free? If you want it .com there's only one site offring them for free it's Microsoft and you'll need a credit card.
Don't try to search else where it the web, because you won't find. There's no free domain.
Why? Because domain subscriber need to pay for the ARPA Net to register their domain!
10$ a year isn't so much. I think the internet connection cost is much higher, no?
I'll try to post most of them, then you can learn how to make your 1,000 visitors from the first day.
And me also I'll have loyal visitors that always make a ping to my site but also subscribe to the RSS feeds.
Blog Search works as a normal motor search but searches only Blogs.
Now if you type Adsense it'll search for the Adsense keywords.
But wait it also search for Related Blogs!
It get related blogs from the title!
Here's the Evil:
Make tons of blog with Keywords title for example "Adsense" as title.
Now in your blog make the first page linking to your blog, as you have changed your blog location ;)
Now think you make 150 blog and each one get about 10 visitors from Blog search.
You'll have 1500 visitors. let suppose that only 50% redirect to your site. You'll get 750 visitors.
The traffic is cool, no? and you have never dream of this!
Problem: If Google knows what you are doing it may ban all those pirates blogs but may be your main blog!
But Google is fair and won't favorite a site that another (although Google always favorite Blogger blogs!)
But people says that Page Rank increase if you get a link in other sites, and that's true.
I made PR3 from, you can say nothing... The MSDN forums have a High PR and I was posting there. On footer of my posts I link to my sites.
From those links I get PR3 in 15 days.
If you want a link from MSDN so post a comment including your Blog URL and I'll link to you :)
Page Rank is so important, but it's the most important of all.
Page Rank is the responsible of:
- Your order in Google Search
- The Ads that Adsense display
The order that google search give to your is ULTRA important.
When someone make a search Google will list with the Page Rank.
Who have the Page Rank is who get the first place!
Google will order you with your page rank.
Be Careful, the first position isn't the second.
I have dominated the first position a while when some one search Adsense in the blog search.
Google drives about 25 visitors though this search (when people tape Adsense).
But after a while, I lost my position and it became the 3th, Google drive only 2 now per day!
people always prefer the first position. Other position don't take a lot of traffic.
Although they have a huge traffic!
First thing you have to know traffic will make you earn clicks and not money.
For example my site and http://blogger-templates.blogspot.com/ blog we both have the same keywords but our adsense don't display the same ads.
This is because the blogger-templates blog Page Rank is higher.
PR1 and PR2 are so low to make you earn. PR3 is also low! PR4 is moderate. PR5 is somewhat good.
PR6 is good and PR7 is excellent. PR8 and higher is very hard to get -:)
So you may thing on how to increase your Page Rank!

Tod is a small bit better than me in writing tutorials /:).
I found his tutorials on Tod means Fox a hosted wordpress Blog.
Tod talks in his blog about Programming, SQL Server.. But especially VFP (Visual Fox Pro)

But this one will be different. I'll post here only tutorials of the Dot Net FrameWork: No news or other posts.
Check it out
Here's another wonderful blog. Paul is just writing every day a story and this will be for a year.
I hope he don't stop.
Very nice content and english. Why not read
Make money with sponsored reviews
Here's a solution: You can earn 200$ per day from your blog, but I expected that you close it the third month!
Sponsoredreviews.com, You don't have even to write but just post!
A post will cost more than 200$ if you have a good blog (Not very good, 1,000+ subscriber in the Feeds and the publisher will pay!)
Think, you post 3 posts every day (let say with an average of 140$ per post): You'll earn 420$ daily!
Now you'll make 13,020$ per month!! have you ever dream of this sam ????
But I sayed only for 3 months! People will hate your blog (you'll posts irrelevant posts) and will finally don't come.
Have a blog to delete? Make 40,000$ with it before ;)
You sign up here in www.projectwonderful.com and then you publish ads.
You get payed per day! For example you get 5$ every day for publishing an ad.
Really? Ohh all depend on traffic and the publisher. They bid for the ads.
For example you publish an ad with 1$ per day and another comes and bid for 1.2$ and another....
All depend on your traffic, if you have good traffic people will bid high on your site.
Good like earning from it.
EntreCard is the best and will drive traffic. By registering only, other people from EntreCard will visit your site.
From this only I get about 12 visitors daily. But no this is not the aim of this program.
The aim that you publish a card and if visitors click it, you get credit that will help you publish your own.
Disadvantges of EntreCard: People click their card and then you can get not real visitors.
Although still a good program. You may try it here www.entrecard.com
But if you are an evil you can use it like that:
-Make the ads at the bottom of the site.
-You reload the pages as much as you can.
Normally Published pays about 5$ for 1,000 page impression.
If you have a huge page impression you can use it, and place it in bad place (you don't worry as clicks aren't important)
You'll have a new revenue from it!
Advice: Don't use Adbrite they are so bad.
Pay per click is a program that will pay for your site (or to you) every time you get a click on your site.
The best Pay Per Click program is Adsense (for earning sure). And if you are the advertiser then you would use Adwords.
Those are the most famous, simply because they are supported by Google.
If you are the advertiser then you may try Stumble Upon. Stumble Upon has lower costs (obly 0.05$ for visitors).
Stumble Upon has a lot of visitors that searches for sites and this is also a great program.
Adwords may be costing, but if you choose affiliate this will be better.
By becoming an affiliate, you'll pay only when visitors buy something from the site.

How to earn from Adsense?
How much Adsense pay per click?
Optimize Adsense Keywords
Let's see how you can earn money with your powers.
Work on design (for me it doesn't differ much than programming so see that post)
Design templates for Blogger and Wordpress.
Many like Jack and Isiani made blogger and wordpress templates. They are good on doing it and people like their templates very much.
Their blog can then make 500$+ by their templates.
Don't forget: Make good templates to make people like you and your site
Good luck!
By blogging you have you own blog. I suggest Blogger if you don't want to spend for a host.
But if you do, try Wordpress.
How to create your blog and start earning: Why talk a lot, I have a complete tutorial explaining how can this be done. See it here
Here's the site : www.rentacoder.com
You'll find here a large long list of small application and tasks to do. (thousands and thousands)
Choose the task that you want to do. Sometimes tasks don't take 3 days of work and I get payed 200$ on them.
So you'll do some tasks the first day month and spend the rest in home or in the club.
Nice, no ?
You can write and get good traffic. I'll suggest now a site "www.hubpages.com"
Just you need to register and to start writing your articles.
Some Hubbers are making 300$+ per day, but I don't mean that you'll easily make.
But if you write during 1 year for example and every day and you write every day 3 articles.
You'll have 1095 articles. Hubpages drive about 10 visitors for each articles... And you'll have 10,000+ visitors with writing. 10,000 visitors are sufficient to make 700$ every month!
Good luck

More solutions? in the next days :)
I’ll give you what you want. Let’s explain how to do that.
Google Adsense has a robot that read the whole page and gets the page content.
Now we’ll instruct this robot to read a part of the page.
Simply put the following line where you want to start
<!-- google_ad_section_start(weight = ignore) -->
And this line in the end
<!-- google_ad_section_end -->
Still have a problem? Post a comment!
If you are using blogger then you don’t need. Google will rank you well if you use blogger.
You won’t need any keywords.
Do keywords make more money with Adsense?
This is completely false because Adsense read the whole page and only the keyword Tag.
If you are interest on making Adsense look only for some text and not the whole page I have the solution in the next post
I don’t know he think people are stupid or just attract traffic.
What make me says that he lies?
He said that he get traffic from Adwords and then get earning from Adsense.
But he forgets that he pay for each click on Adwords and in AdSense he need many visitors to get a click. So even if the click value is higher in his site than he pays for Google Adsense he’s earning we’ll be less.
Let’s take an example:
You put 0.05 per click in Adwords and you spend 1,500$
You’ll get 30,000 visitors with Adwords
Now suppose that you get 0.15$ per click in your web site with Adsense.
Not 30,000 visitors will click but only 8% in the better case!
So you’ll have only 2,400 clicks and then 360$ of earnings!
Please don’t believe on those e-book, try to think well before making any decision.
Good luck with Adsense and blogging.
The poll widget is very important and has many goals.
The first: you can know the other opinion about something.
Second: motivate your blog and make it live.
Third: If you have good traffic you’ll have many ratings and then it’s a success for your blog!
Fourth: I love polls.. Do you?
This is because Windows and the browser are two organised system!! They made some problems that we have to repair.
If you use Internet Explorer:
Tools > Internet option > in the general tab you’ll find a delete button, hit him
Now hit delete cookies.
If you use Fire Fox:
Tools > Options > privacy > Show cookies > Delete all cookies.
You can now access your site again. Still don’t access, post a comment describing what you get.
Ok let’s see the problem. Windows save your browsing data in order to make the navigation faster…But Windows don’t know that you are an internet addicted person and didn’t expect your case…. Your history is fulllllllllll!!!!!!!!!!!
Let’s clean it.
Okay go to your primary hard drive (where windows is installed) and then right click and select properties. Near the circle that shows the available space there’s a button (Clean drive) Hit this one. Wait some moments until it finished. When the dialog displays scroll in the list and select “Temporary internet files” Then click ok.
The cache should be clear now. Your connection will regain its’ normal speed.
First: you need a good and fast computer.
Second: Try Google Web Accelerator
Third: Use Fire Fox to browse it’s faster than IE
Fourth: Don’t download files when browsing
If when you first used the internet it was fast and now the speed is less, then there’s another problem that often occur. Ok read the next post if it’s your case
Dial-up connection?? And how can you want it a fast connection.
Why dial-up aren’t fast in browsing?
You have to know brother that we are in the WEB 2.0 generation that need more bandwidth and then require more internet speed for your PC. Dial-up aren’t good connections and you should change it.
Recommended solutions:
Use ADSL or DSL (DSL is better and faster)
Use cable (I think the best)
Use Satellite (Ahh It costs =) )
You use one of those and you still have a slow connection? Just read the next post I have a great solution for slow connections.
I have a site that sells product (I’m going to launch it again). I use the same keywords. I see always the same ads. Sometimes I get 10.4 $ per click and sometimes 0.07 $ per click.
What’s the matter? How much Adsense pay per click?
It doesn’t depend on the keywords but on the advertiser itself.
How to increase the pay per click?
It increase with you page rank and with your traffic.
Don’t forget
Let’s see how much a blog worth is.
Adsense for content is near or in the post: 6.7 clicks / 1,000 impressions (average)
If you get more than you are lucky!
Adsense for content is in the top: 3.4 clicks / 1,000 impressions (average)
Adsense for content is in the bottom: 0.85 clicks / 1,000 impressions (average)
Adsense for content is in the side bar: 3.1 clicks / 1,000 impressions (average)
Let’s see for a site:
Adsense is included near a download: 9.85 clicks / 1,000 impressions (average)
Adsense is included near an application*: 14.8 clicks / 1,000 impressions (average)
Adsense is included near a newsreader: 45 clicks / 1,000 impressions (average)
*application: like a widget maker for example
A forum:
Adsense is in the forum post: 32.14 clicks / 1,000 impression (average)
Usually forums get higher clicks per impressions.
Finally all depends on Adsense optimization but the pay per click is also important. Read the next post?
Those are traffic hunters and attracters and just put a tornado in your mind.
How much adsense will make Vs the impression of my blog?
Just read the next post to know
Our aim is to reach 100$ per month, so we get every month a check with 100$.
I know the American dollar is down day after day, but don’t worry I think it will come back again and you can make much money with Adsense.
First why choose Adsense?
It’s the largest biggest hugest and make more money. Advertiser like Adbrite sometimes don’t show ads because (((I don’t know and I don’t want to))) But Google Adsense is the best and we can make much money with it.
Adsense is popular and if you are a blogger you’ll find many plug-in and widget for Adsense. This will help you get the most of it.
How to make money with Adsense?
People generally use Adsense for content. Now you have to change, Adsense for results make more money if you know how to optimize it.
Make people search your site and get more money.
Why Adsense for result make more money that for content?
If you have a blog, people are interested in your blog content and they won’t watch ads.
But if they make a search, that mean they are searching for something and probability to click is higher.

I finally chosen Premium Blogger templates, from the JackBook.com web site.

By the way, what do you think of my blog skin?? Comment I have a top commentator widget and good luck.
Have a nice time.
Yes and No. Blogging can make even 2,000$ per month and can also make a perfect 0$ per YEAR. It’s really amazing.
People think that they can easily make money by blogging…boof this can never be.
To make money online you don’t need a blog where to write. You need an idea, a project a thing, a wonderful thing to build and create. There’s more than 10 million blogger. But are they all making money online? No, impossible. To make money online you don’t need only to write and add widgets. To make money online you need an idea a project.
Let’s give you an example: I have this blog for 7 months. And I have now about 200 posts on it. I get about 300 visitors daily and Adsense made 350 page impressions per day and I get about 2 clicks. Then I made about 0.3 $ daily with Adsense. So I don’t make even 10$ per month!!! And I have 7 months blogging and I added widgets and and and …..
Am I making money online with blogging???? NOOOO.
But let’s say to you another thing. I started a barcode maker project about 7 months, and the project was successful and I made a total of 25,662 visitors in 1 month. The project length was 2 month only and I succeeded to get 300 $ from Adsense.
I closed now the project because I’ll restart it in this summer with more new software and applications….
So does blogging makes money online??? Does it ??? NOOOOOO !!!!
Be careful! If you see sites like Jackbook.com making more than 500$ per month this is because Jack is a template creator and not a blogger.
Sorry blogging can make money online but only if you have an idea a project on your blog. But If you want to make money online with writing this will never be….
1/ Digg.com : Fast sending and attractive keywords
2/ Jackbook.com : comment a lot and you'll get rewarded!
3/ hubpages.com: your page have more traffic
Good luck!
This hack consist to show related posts for the following post!
Go to templates edit html and click on expand widget templates and copy the whole code inside a plain text editor like notepad. You might consider backing up your template if something runs wrong.
Now paste the following in the page header :

Scroll down to the blog1 widget, and find the following:
<b:if cond='data:post.labels'>
<data:postLabelsLabel/>
<b:loop values='data:post.labels' var='label'>
<a expr:href='data:label.url' rel='tag'><data:label.name/></a><b:if cond='data:label.isLast != "true"'>,</b:if>

</b:if>
and change it to :
<b:if cond='data:post.labels'>
<data:postLabelsLabel/>
<b:loop values='data:post.labels' var='label'>

Save the code back to your template html and go to page elements and add a new HTML/Javascript widget underneath the main blog posts widget with this code :
<script type="text/javascript">
removeRelatedDuplicates();
printRelatedLabels();
</script>
Now go back to Template -> Edit HTML, check the check box to expand the template code, and find the HTML/Javascript widget you just added. It'll look something like the following. Add the lines in bold:

To install Virtual PC
- Insert the installation CD into the CD drive.
If the setup wizard does not start automatically, click Start, click Run, and then type D:\setup.exe, where D: is the letter of the CD drive.
- When the Microsoft Virtual PC 2004 InstallShield Wizard appears, click Next.
- In the License Agreement dialog box, read the agreement, click I accept the terms in the license agreement, and then click Next.
- In the Customer Information dialog box, type a user name and organization, as appropriate; type the product key for Virtual PC; and then do one of the following:
- To install Virtual PC for all users of the computer, click Anyone who uses this computer, and then click Next.
- To install Virtual PC only for your use, click Only for me (username), and then click Next.
- In the Ready to Install the Program dialog box, do one of the following:
- To install Virtual PC to the default folder, C:\Program Files\Microsoft Virtual PC, click Install.
- To install Virtual PC to a different location, click Change. In the Change Current Destination dialog box, browse to the location in which you want to install Virtual PC, click OK, and then click Install.
- When the InstallShield Wizard Completed dialog box appears, click Finish.
Important
- If you install Virtual PC by using Remote Desktop, the installation process ends the remote session. This occurs when the network stack is rebuilt after installing the Virtual PC network drivers. When the session ends, wait a few seconds and then re-establish the remote connection.
The minimum requirements that your system should meet so you can successfully deploy Virtual PC 2004 will vary depending on the number and type of guest operating systems and applications you plan to install on the virtual machines. For example, to run multiple virtual machines simultaneously, the physical computer must have at least enough memory to cover the requirements of the host operating system and each guest operating system that will run simultaneously. Refer to the system requirements in the following sections to ensure that your system resources will support your deployment.
Physical computer and host operating system requirements
Following are the minimum system requirements for the physical computer and the host operating system:
- An x86-based computer with a 400 MHz or faster (1 GHz recommended) processor with L2 cache. Virtual PC supports the use of AMD Athlon/Duron, Intel Celeron, Intel Pentium II, Intel Pentium III, and Intel Pentium 4 processors. Virtual PC also can use AMD Opteron processors, but only with 32-bit host operating systems. You can run Virtual PC on a multi-processor computer, but it utilizes one processor only.
- CD-ROM or DVD drive
- Super VGA (800 × 600) or higher resolution monitor recommended
- Keyboard and Microsoft mouse or compatible pointing device
- Host operating system: Windows XP Professional, Windows 2000 Professional, or Windows XP Tablet PC Edition
- For host disk space and memory, refer to the following table to determine the minimum required by the host operating system. This disk space is only a starting point in determining how much disk space you will need. You also must calculate the additional space that will be required by adding the requirements of all guest operating systems you plan to deploy.
Note
- Virtual PC supports up to 3.6 GB of RAM per virtual machine, up to a total of 4 GB of RAM on the physical machine.
Host operating system | RAM | Disk space |
---|---|---|
Windows XP Professional | 128 MB | 2 GB |
Windows XP Tablet PC Edition | 128 MB | 2 GB |
Windows 2000 Professional | 96 MB | 2 GB |
Guest operating system requirements
The following table lists the disk space and RAM required by each operating system that Virtual PC supports as a guest operating system. The minimum required disk space is the sum of the required disk space of each guest operating system and the host operating system, in addition to additional disk space for any applications to be installed on the operating systems. If you plan to run more than one guest operating system simultaneously, you will need to add the RAM requirements for all of those operating systems in addition to the RAM required by the host operating system. To enhance performance, consider increasing the amount of memory beyond the minimum requirement.Guest operating system | RAM | Disk space |
---|---|---|
Windows XP Professional | 128 MB | 2 GB |
Windows XP Home Edition | 128 MB | 2 GB |
Windows 2000 Professional | 96 MB | 2 GB |
Windows NT Workstation 4.0, Service Pack 6 or higher | 64 MB | 1 GB |
Windows Millennium Edition | 96 MB | 2 GB |
Windows 98 | 64 MB | 500 MB |

Just add my name "Omar Abid" with this blog url (http://omarabid.blogspot.com).
I recommend also that you link to my post, you'll also receive a backlink.
Blogs, websites or pages linking to me will be listed on this page, but the top web site that will drive most traffic to this site will have a permanent link but also I'll write a review about this site!
How can I know that you link to me?
Don't tell me, I don't need it! I'll use Google to know sites linking to me.
And then if your site is linking (from a page a post or any way), it'll get a backlink on this page.
The more pages you link to me, more your position get first on this page.
How much traffic will this page drive?
This page will drive few traffic (about 10 visits per day). As you get to the top you get more traffic from this page.
After one month, I'll make an analytics using Google also. It'll show the top sites driving traffic!
If it's your's you'll get a permanent link in this blog (on the top of the pages).
This drive about 3 visitors daily for every link.
Plus you get a review! A small article that I'll write about your blog.
How much my blog is getting traffic?
I'm having about 300 visitors daily and it's increasing by a huge percentage every day! (about 0.85%).
I don't lie you can see it live!
List of blogs and sites linking to me:
- http://xyzzy-links.blogspot.com
- http://mccaffertyspub.blogspot.com
- http://windowxpforu.blogspot.com
- http://goolge-search.blogspot.com
- http://www.a1vbcode.com
Google desktop come with the solution. You can now search thousands of files, but not only files name but also content, in just seconds and less than 1 seconds, query takes 0.2 or 0.3 secondds only.
Plus Google desktop can search Zip, Pdf, Office, Video, images... and with plugin you can add more extension to it.
How Google do that?
Like it do it on the web, Google can search milliards of web pags in just one second!
The secret of this speed
The secret that there's no secret, Google just make a giant database where he puts all your files (text) on it. With a database, Google can make queries in less than 1 second.
Where to find this database?
After some days of installing Google Desktop, search on the top level of your hard drives for this folder "Google Desktop Data". You'll find that it's size is bigger than 350 mb, that's normal as Google compress your saved data. Open it and you'll find the databases (don't delete them!)
But why choose Wordpress for example and not Blogger?
Wordpress isn't better than blogger and any thing you can do on Wordpress you can do it on blogger, even the Top commentator widget that I was thinking it can be done only on Wordpress, you can do it now on blogger.
Blogger is also customizable but if you are a good PHP programmer so don't miss Wordpress or B2evo, you'll better use them. But if you prefer AJAX and XML then blogger is much better!
I love Blogger and Wordpress each one for various reasons. Wordpress have a PHP look and blogger an XML one!
Lol that's really funny, but to be productive you can use them both, as they are the most famous on the World.
But if you want to create a blog and make earning with it (Adsense for example), so you have to choose blogger or if you decided to go with Wordpress then you have to host it on your own server, So that you can add Google Adsense widgets. However Blogger can integrate Adsense automatically for you (like I'm doing).
If you finally decided to create a Blogger one then you'd better read my tutorial, that will guide you step by step to make your blogger. Make your blogger now.
It's just for laugh I was just thinking if Google stop Adsense and what are the consequences of this.
And you do you think Google will stop Adsense?
Just reply to this question with a comment, I have a top commentator widget. So you may get 500 visitors a gift!
Have a nice time :)
And your blog worth? Try out and tell me, just post a comment!
Wait to here from you, just post comment
I started with the blogger!
The study time interval will be from the first day of the blog making to yesterday.
So from 1 September 2007 to 18 March 2008.
The case study for me is very important and I take sometimes definitive decision through it!
The first thing : How much posts we have in the blog.
I found 155 posts in the blog.
Now let’s move on.
I get 6,341 visits in the whole and with an overall of 1.18 pages/visit.
So the blog made 7482 page impression.
Now we have two thing to study for this blog : where visitors come from and traffic sources.
Traffic Sources :
Google (Organic) provided 69.92 % of the total traffic. we can say 70%!
The next one is digg with 205 visitors and only 3.32 %.
The a1vbcode.com (as I sent some code snippets) provided the blog with 186 visits.
Then groups.google.com with 158. The Bar code maker site referred 71 visitor (a good part).
Jack book hardly get the 10 position with 43 visits.
Blogtoplist is saved as it succeeded to get the position 9. ooof!
The final decision :
The blog will be completely changed. We’ll concentrate on Google and Digg.
The 155 will be almost deleted and only traffic attractor posts will survive.
The JackBook give new experience. A wide search of 15 sites like Jackbook will take place in the next days.
Think 15 * 43 will give 654 visitor (more than digg do!).
91.83 % of visitors are new, this need a case study!!! Visitors don’t return.
The statics given by Google Analytics
Why I’m saying that?
Only with 3 simple comment, jackbook.com a PR5 site drive about 38 visits in 1 month!
How the site do it?
Jackbook strategy is important, he boost comment by applying 2 widgets in the wordpress. The first one is the 10 last comment. The most important is the 5 top commentators. Interested people will make like a competition to take the first 5 positions. Although I easily get it for my 2 blogs (omarabid.blogspot.com and howtosuccesswithblogging.blogspot.com) by putting more than 10 comments.
How much Jackbook drive that day. In 14 hours Jackbook drive 4 visitors. You can say it’s so little sure it’s small.
But think when you find 25 site having the same strategy as Jackbook. you’ll make 100 visitors.
Then why keep in the track?
The 5 top commentator will be reset every week, so our work have to be repeated every week.
The idea is easy it will only take 2 hours of your time every week, but we’ll drive about 700 visitors.
Use it also! You can read the next post, I’ll talk about benefits of this strategy.
This strategy won’t double your visitors or make new ones, but will make them loyal and return (every week) to your site. Sure if you have the needed traffic.
What this strategy consist of?
2 widgets :
- Last comments : Show last 10 comments and the posts where those comments where posted.
- 5 top commentator : Show the 5 top commentator for the current week.
How this startegy will boost your traffic?
- Visitors (interested in getting traffic from your site with their comment) will return every week to get the 5 first positions. You’ll have loyal visitors.
- Reader will comment as much as they can increasing your page impression and then your earnings.
- Your blog won’t be a book only for reader, but we’ll make also their interest!
You don’t have the needed traffic, support this strategy
- Comment your self your posts
- Make hundred of comments to tell people that you are making hundred of visitors
Where to find those sites?
I already found a fantastic one : Jackbook. I have dominated the 2 top positions.
adiestudio.com uses the same strategy but seems not having the necessary traffic.
Your site uses this strategy or you found a good site that uses it. Tell me about with a simple comment!
Top commentators widget for blogger
But I searched and I found that it's also possible in Blogger!
Just create a HTML/Script element and put this code on it
function pipeCallback(obj) {
document.write("<ol>");
var i;
for (i = 0; i < obj.count ; i++)
{
var href = "'" + obj.value.items[i].link + "'";
var item = "<li>" + "<a href=" + href + ">" + obj.value.items[i].title + "</a> </li>";
document.write(item);
}
document.write("</ol>");
}
</script>
<script src= "http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.run?_render=json&_callback=pipeCallback&

Have nice time
Windows Vista is a resource hungry OS. It has so many features that sometimes it can be a bit of a drain on your PC. If you find your PC is not really up to the job there are steps you can take to speed up Windows Vista. This hub has some tips for speeding up windows vista.
How to speed up windows vista
1: Choose one of more of these options. Step one will be the cheapest and easiest, and the last will be harder with a cost.
2: Turn OFF Aero Desktop: Aero looks pretty but if your computer is not up to the challenge, you can always turn it off.
3: Disable UAC: UAC or "User Access Control" is a nice security feature but not everyone "needs" it and it will slow you down. If you feel bogged down by always having to click ALLOW or DENY, turn this feature OFF. To disable UAC, Click Start > control panel > add/remove User accounts. Now Click "Go to main User accounts page" Now Click "Turn User Access Control On or Off" Done.
4: Set performance options to BEST PERFORMANCE. Click Start > move your mouse over 'computer' Right click 'Computer' > Pick properties. Click Advanced system preferences Under the advanced tab, click Performance [SETTINGS] Under visual effects tab, click "adjust for best performance" Click OK
5: Add more memory. Vista needs lots of memory to really shine. Upgrade your memory to 2GB or more and Vista will show you how fast it can be. TIP: Install 3GB of memory and turn off Virtual memory. Vista will move faster than ever because it never has to use the hard drive as memory.
6: Use ReadyBoost: ReadyBoost is a feature that allows you to use a flash-drive as memory. Its super-easy and you probably already have extra flash drives or cards lying about. To use ready boost stick in a blank freshly formatted flash memory device into your USB port and Vista will ask you of you want to use this as READY-BOOST.

What is different in Vista?
One of the most common criticisms of Windows XP and its predecessors has been their commonly exploited security vulnerabilities and overall susceptibility to malware, viruses and buffer overflows.
Vista is safer than other Windows versions. Especially for 'Internet Security'.
The version of Internet explorer is 7 in Vista.
Features
Parental Control
Vista has the facility to lock specified websites. It keeps the track of computer use.
Speech Recognition With the help of Vista we can give commands by talking. Microphone is must for this facility. Means if I want to connect to the Internet then I just have to say 'Internet', it will connect me to the Internet. We can write emails or any document by talking to the computer.
Remote Assistant
If there is any problem in my computer or I want to install any new software then I can tell this problem to any person in the world by Hotmail and that person will connect to my computer from any where in the world and can solve the problem. For this I must have Windows Vista and the other person must have Windows Vista or XP. There is no need of fast Internet connection for this we can do this in slow Internet speed.
Windows Vista Operating System will look more beautiful.
With 3D effects. Also the wallpaper and desktop icons will be 3D.
Logos of folders, emails will look different
The look of Windows Vista is totally attractive than XP.
Blogger Hack : Add the read more for your posts
With this trick, you can choose to display an arbitrary amount of text from
the beginning of each post, as a teaser for the whole thing. Then users who want
to read the rest of the post can click a link to see the full text. This is
handy if you have lots of long articles all on one page. Note that you'll need
to have post pages enabled in order to make this feature work.
There are three ingredients that go into this feature: conditional CSS, a "read
more" link for each post, and a modification for the posts that use this feature.
So let's go through it step by step.
Conditional CSS
We're going to use conditional tags to change how posts display on different
pages. Add the following code to your style sheet, depending on what kind of
template you have:
(for classic templates)
<MainOrArchivePage>
span.fullpost {display:none;}
</MainOrArchivePage>
<ItemPage>
span.fullpost {display:inline;}
</ItemPage>
(for layouts)
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'>
span.fullpost {display:inline;}
<b:else/>
span.fullpost {display:none;}
</b:if>
Your style sheet is usually near the top of your template, between the
and
<style></style>
tags. If you have your style sheet in a
separate file, you'll still need to add these lines in your template, so the
conditional tags will work. Just make sure you add in the <style>
tags around them.
What we did here was to define a class called "fullpost" that will appear
only on post pages (permalinks). Part of each post will use this class, as we'll
see later.
"Read More" Links
Add the following code to your template, somewhere after the <$BlogItemBody$>
or <data:post.body/>
tag:
(for classic templates)
<MainOrArchivePage><br />
<a href="<$BlogItemPermalinkURL$>">Read more!</a>
</MainOrArchivePage>
(for layouts)
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != "item"'><br />
<a expr:href='data:post.url'>Read more!</a>
</b:if>
This link will only appear on the main page and archive pages, and it will
redirect your reader to the post page containing the full text of your post. You
can replace the "Read more!" text with whatever you like, of course.
Post Modifications
The final piece that we need is a little bit of code in your actual post.
Each post that you want to use this feature on will need this code:
<span class="fullpost"></span>
This part can actually go in the
post template, if
you don't want to have to type it for each post. You'll enter the summary text
outside the span tags and the remainder inside, like so:
Here is the beginning of my post. <span class="fullpost">And here is
the rest of it.</span>
