Webtalks

Thank you all my readers for giving webtalks the honour to be in Technorati Top 1000.We are currently ranked 977 , with an authority of 1,570 .So that means , if you need to accompany me, we have to get some 1,500 cool links.To be frank, I wasn't that surprised to be at this position because our site offers templates.I had planned we'll reach there by this month, so here we are.To get in Technorati top 100. we'll require an authority of around 4000 which I estimate we'll get in November/Decemeber 2007 .  So are we a A-Lister ? There is no valid definition when a blog is an A- Lister.But I think Webtalks isn't quite there as it is in its developing stage.I don't know about A-Lister but we'll definitely be at respectable position by the end of 2007. Next Milestones ? Well you may be surprised to know that still we aren't in Alexa top 100,000 .So that's my next aim.Simultaneously Feedcount is also heading towards the 100 mark. And ofcourse... Th

Do you have a mobile version of your blog?No. This was the most voted answer in a poll a conducted by me for all bloggers. Let us suppose you have got a mobile with Internet connectivity{might be with GPRS}. You want to browse through your favorite blogs. A default mobile browser {like Opera for Nokia} removes all the style elements from the weblog to make it easily viewable in mobiles.I was not too pleased with the kind of page is displayed of my blog without CSS.I was looking for a service that lets me customize my mobile blog page.Then, someone from the Feedm8 team shot me an email about their service. Customization Feedm8 lets you create a mobile page hosted on their domain to with easy customization.It displays my {summarized} blog feed instead of the complete page which displays only desired information.You can also change the text , link color... Monetization You can earn money from RSS in two ways 1.Feedvertise or monetize via Post Level Ads provided by Text Link Ads.This

Recently, Blogger team have added an widget for displaying Adsense after each post.The implementation is simple Log into your Blogger account at http://www.blogger.com . Visit your blog's Template tab and click on the Page Elements link. Click Edit in the Blog Posts section.   Check the box next to Show Ads Between Posts . You can then select how often you'd like your ads to appear, such as once after every post or once after every other post. Customize the ads and click on Save Changes when you're done. This can be a good opportunity for the non-geeks to increase their Adsense earnings.But as you know, I have already published a tutorial about placing Adsense Between Blogger Posts much before.I'll show you a comparison between the both of the features The widget will place your ad only after post is over but with my tutorial you can place Adsense Ad units between post title and post body of any blogger blog The widget permits only Adsense for conten

But Why? This is the 100th post of our weblog, Webtalks .Webtalks began its journey on Feburary 27, 2007 and in just about 7 months, I'm writing the hundredth post of this weblog.Webtalks isn't in any of the major blog network.Moreover, My starting budget was 0$.So I didn't advertise ,the blog took a lot of time to get a decent rank and a distinct name in the blogosphere.Still, there is a long way to go.I still remember the day, when somebody offered me 20$ for buying my blog and I almost said yes until my sister advised me to be a bit patient and I'll earn triple of that amount in a month.Remember,your hardwork pays and I was quite sure that my hardwork is not worth 20$. But the real motivators were you, all readers reading this blog via RSS, all visitors reading this post on blog, all 2600 blogs which considered linking to me , Search Engine bots like Googlebot who puts my content on their indexes and gives me some visitors, Google's technology which gave aw

These days iPhones are popular amongst techies.Even I want one, but as it is, it has not been launched in India yet.Moreover,the price tag with it make me sweat as blog income is only around 80$/month .How about winning a one in a simple blog contest?I have come across two of them, which gives you are free iPhone if you win First one is being organized by AskReaMoar.All you need to do is link to his blog homepage , contest page , and any article authored by him which you like the most.Deadline for entering is August 31 .I didn't visited his blog before so I went over to the top posts and read over is Harry Potter and the Root password post , and enjoyed, as I too am a crazy potter fan. What will make me win? Be creative, socialize your post as much as possible and count your luck{though I think cow is dominating with his milk} As far as creativity is concerned, she already has given 3 examples pics.I have recently learned some Web 2.0 effects.So I had my brush up in photoshop and

Sunday,a holiday..Almost all regular probloggers hate updating their blogs on Sunday.They prefer taking a break.But at the same time we, part time bloggers are free from their regular jobs.Over the last few days, I have observed that my traffic dips on Sundays.Reason being, even I used to take a break. To maintain,my traffic I planned to post on Sunday .And the result, I get the regular traffic. This traffic I was sure, would go to a major blog if it would have been updated.Not only this, most teenagers and the ones who are taking higher education are most of time online on Sundays which sometimes also gave a boost to my traffic from search engines like technorati.who ranks according to freshness. You may write a whole post just before the week end and then post on sunday with which you'll enjoy both the things. Adding to this, when I post on sunday, and any reader of mine opens his account on monday, he'll first of all read my feed.Also, Google almost crawls my site da

  Blogger team has added a  new feature, this time in user's profile pages. They have added  universal search of the interests, hobbies, etc. similar to orkut's universal search.This way bloggers can find bloggers blogging with similar interests.Furthermore, the rankings in the result page would be in order of most freshly updated blogs instead of popular blogs which is somewhat like Technorati search which will sort out so called "lazy bloggers".So go ahead, share your interests... you may start from my profile

I've been wondering around on the web to look for an service that provides script for commenting on new blogger blogs.Reason: to comment, you have to click on an external link,first sign in {if you aren't} then retype then fill in CAPTCHA {if enabled}.This is a very time consuming and irritating process.On the other hand, Wordpress blogs have on site comment forms which invites more and more readers to comment, easily. I came across a few sites, but their scripts weren't successful.Then finally I came across Haloscan.com that provides Onsite comment forms for new blogger Installation wizard for different blogging platforms {including both versions of blogger} so no play of code here Integrated support for smileys{blogger doesn't support them} and an image uploading option [even wordpress doesn't provide free image hosting for comments] Track back Included Recent Comments widget Getting email address of the commenter! I have just signed up but not installed it as my

Recently I came across a new term Fake Google PR. When I read about it, I thought it as a joke but when it worked, I was shocked. Crackers have done it again! Didn’t spare Google Pagerank. With fake Pagerank you can get a PR the toolbar displays on your site of your choice. This is good enough to fool an advertiser. You can find the steps how do it below{thanks to black hat seo ){But I don’t recommend doing so} 1. Buy a domain{don’t experiment on established one}. 2. 301 Redirect the domain either in you .htaccess, PHP header (anything server side) to a page with the desired page rank. It’s better to redirect to something relevant. For example, if you are doing a mortgage site, redirect to a mortgage site. for php the code is: <?php header(”HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently”); header(”location:http://www.seoblackhat.com”); exit; ?> 3. Link to the page with the redirect from another of your sites that gets regularly spidered by Google. Since you use the Alexa Toolbar, you should hav
