Youtube

The History of Youtube

youtube creatorsYoutube was created in February 2005 by the three former PayPal employees, Steve Chen, Chad Hurley and Jawed Karim. A year later, Google bought Youtube for US$1.65 billion and is now operated as a subsidiary of Google. Most of the content on YouTube has been uploaded by individuals that each of them have their own purposes. It could be video clips, movie clips, tutorial clips, trailer clips, porn clips, daily life clips, video blogging, and other short original videos



Youtube, by far has become the world’s largest video on demand platform and its one of the most popular streaming video and audio sites where many people are searching for stuff they're interested in.


Google to Monetize Youtube

Google admits that they wants to monetize this site but they also admits that they still having a problem in monetizing YouTube. The problem is that advertisers are having trouble finding content they want to put ads with. Another problem is copyright. If you are the creator of that content, you own the copyright. That would have mean that you should have the rights to decide whether you want to advertising on your videos.

Now, Google is trying to push post-roll and pre-roll ads in all the video content. As NewTeeVee has point it out, these post-roll ads only appear if you do not click on the overlay ads while a video is playing. While in pre-rolls ads, a user has to finish watching such an ads before they can proceed to the video that they have already chosen to watch.


How To Make Your Video Like a Superstar
There are many thing you could make your youtube video like a superstar, here's how

1. Be Creative
You don have to be an expert in understanding the video editing software, you can create your own by using your webcam or use your digital ipod/cellphone to record the things you found on your daily life.

2. Make a Short Video
Smaller is better, people are often tend to watch a video which is less than 5 minutes, because if you create video that takes them too long to get to the point and it is much longer and takes too long to load, your viewers may lose interest on it, plus not all people have better connection speed. If your video has larger size, try to reduce it by using Advanced X Video Converter, AutoGK, Kino, ffmpeg, Kdenlive, Avidemux, or search around the Google.

3. Commenting on Other People Blog
If there's a lot of people who asking how to sort out the problem, you can put your youtube video by commenting but ensure your video relates to the question being asked.

4. Increase The Traffic
You should let everyone know about your video by increasing the traffic, use Traffic exchange, post in forums, submitting to social media (Digg, stumbleupon, Delicious, Mixx, etc), social network (Facebook, Myspace, Friendster, etc) put in your profile or send them message/testimonial. You can also send emails to the people whom you know about the interesting stuff you just uploaded.

5. Add a Whole Bunch of People
It is not essential to perform this but there's a useful thing about adding a whole bunch of people as they can view your latest uploaded video and your favorite one. You can also attract their interest by commenting on other uploaded video, try to make some debates or contribute by helping them if they need something.

6. Upload Popular Video
There's many kind of popular video in Youtube but the most popular was usually coming from the latest news from Google Video, Yahoo Video, or MSN Video, usually it has something to do with political situations like President elections, the crisis in war, etc.

7. Create Useful Content
Creating useful content is also one of the most effective ways to build a linking campaign. In this part, you can create tutorial clips, trailer clips, and more. You can also creates music video if you have intention to make your fantasy comes true. In case you need an application to editing/screen recording, Camtasia Studio and Debut Video Capture might be the best answer. If you aren't satisfied with these application then you could search them up on Google.

8. Make Specific Description.
Description is the vital part in your youtube video, because without proper description text, your video won't listed in the search engine index. Ensure you have the best accurate and interesting description. Use the correct categorizations on YouTube is a plus if you want to make people to find your video.

How To Redirect Blogger Blogspot into .com Domain

Posted by Takumi 86



Blogger by default are leaving the URL domain into .blogspot.com, for user who wants to have a customized .com domain, they will most likely purchase it and redirect it into their blogspot domain, So that they will brand themselves with the .com domain

In this post, i'm going to cover the steps by steps to redirect from Blogger blogspot into .com domain. The purposes of this post was to give a blogger user a new customized .com domain



1. Go to Your Blogger Dashboard Layout, click on Edit HTML and check "Expand Widget Templates" box

2. Search for these lines

[b:include data='blog' name='all-head-content'/>

3. Add this code below it
[meta content='0;url=http://enter your new URL here' http-equiv='refresh'/>

4. Save it and you're done, try to test it with your blogspot domain and see if its redirect properly to your .com domain.


Another ways is to redirect your GoDaddy url to Blogger

1. Go to Your Blogger Dashboard, click on Publishing tab and click again on Custom Domain



2. Type in the URL of your new website in the Domain text box, don forget to change the domain into different extension, in case you are using other domain than .com

3. Login to your Godaddy Hosting account and click on Domain, click one of the domain that you would like to manage

4. On the next screen, check the domain box and you should see a new option on the right top side under the box tab that says "Total Control and MX Records link"

5. Once you see it, click on that. On the next screen, you can either add a new CName if only your host does not have WWW. Otherwise, click the existing www cname and make it point to the ghs.google.com link.

6. Go to your Command prompt (Start > Run, type cmd for WinXP and command for Win2000). Ping your blogger account by type in ping yourblog.blogspot.com. Note down the IP address that shows up

7. Next, you need to ping your .com domain. Afterward, note down the IP address that shows up.

8. Now you have to associate this IP Address with your A Host in your godaddy account. Go to the same manage domains page and your total dns control panel and edit your A Host or @ and make it point to the IP address that you noted down on step #6. If you decide to use .com domain for hosting your own blog such as Wordpress then switch back the IP Address to your .com IP address at step #7

10 Ways to Increase Your Alexa Rank

Posted by Takumi 86

increase alexa ranking

The Explanation and The History of Alexa
Alexa is a website that provides information about website traffic and daily visitor statistics. Alexa was founded in 1996 in an effort to solve the internet search problem by tracking user decisions and gathering the data to use it to aid future searches. This Alexa is created in California-based subsidiary of Amazon.com.


What is Alexa Rank?
alexa logoAlexa Rank is a ranking system which bases on the level of traffic that each site receives from the number of people who visit it. So the more the number of traffic you get from your visitor, the more you'll rank well in Alexa. How you can check your site rank in alexa is simply go to Alexa home page site and search for your own site.


What's The Use of Alexa Rank in Monetization?
Alexa Rank is same important as PageRank because there is some ads that website will pay you depend on how many alexa rank you have. Services like Text Link Ads, for example, can price your ads based on your Alexa rank. So the higher you rank in Alexa, the more money you make from the ads. Additionally, there are some ad placement, pay per post and affiliate programs that won't accept your website until it's getting some minimum Alexa ranking. For example, PepperjamNetwork, Smorty, Pay Per Post that use Alexa rankings to make decisions whether to accept or deny your site. It's also a factor if you are trying to sell your website or domain, as most buyers will use these criteria (e.g Alexa rank, Google Page Rank, etc) to decide how much is your website worth.


How To Increase Your Alexa Rank?
People often says that increasing rank in alexa is much easier than Pagerank (PR). I will summarize a bit more on how to increase your alexa rank with 10 ways

1. Set Your Site as HomePage
You can set your site as your homepage and set it to load when the browser is fire up. You can also ask your visitor to set your site as their homepage by using this script

[a class="chlnk" style="cursor:hand" HREF onClick="this.style.behavior='url(#default#homepage)';this.setHomePage('http://tendou86.blogspot.com/');">Click here to set this site as your homepage[/a>

2. Increase Your Traffic
Increasing the traffic is the best way to boost up your alexa rank within just a couple weeks. However it takes an effort and kills your time a lot. You can choose between using PPC Campaign or Free ways to drive traffic.

3. Share Your Stuff
This is another attempt which i call this as another free ways. Sometimes when you are uploading your stuff through file hosting site, you can take advantage from it by inserting a small text document file that telling people to go to your site, compress the file into archive file, and then share it into the forum.

4. Use Digg, StumbleUpon, Delicious, and Technorati
Submitting your article into social bookmarking site such as Digg, StumbleUpon, Delicious, and Technorati will help you to rank well in Alexa. You can invite your reader to submit it too, the more your article is submitted, the more your site will get well ranked in alexa. However i have heard that alexa wont including traffic from these site in their ranking factor but at least you should give them a try out.

5. Put up Alexa Rank Widget on Your Blog
If your rank is above 100.000+ then you should try this widget. If under 100.000 then it wont change anything. There's also a statement that Alexa Widget has no effect to your rank

6. Make Your Popular Post
An easy task but brainstorming the headlines is the hard part. Popular post can bring you huge amount of traffic but you have to guess what the searcher are looking for. In order to create this post, you have to do more research on the net and finding the best subject for popular post that suit to your blog. You can also hire someone to make it for you.

7. Using Alexa Auto Surf
Site like Surf Sieve, UpMyRank and About Us.org can increase your rank. Please note that there would be a problems when you try to use auto surfs alongside contextual ads like Adsense as they aren’t legal for Adsense publishers. So i suggest using it with caution.

8. Keep Updating Your Blog
Keeping your blog to up-to-date is really important as they can improve the amount of pageviews and time that your visitor will stay longer on your blog

9. Submit Your Site Link in Asian forums, Social Networking, and Website
Some webmaster will suggest to submit on east asian region as most asians are using Alexa toolbar. This is proven by the presence of several Asia-based websites in the Alexa Top 500 list



10. Installing Alexa Redirect Plugin
This is the most effective ways to increase your rank. Basically what this plugin will do is to add http://redirect.alexa.com/redirect? in every of your internal link

Here's a quick explanation on the plugins
The particular plug-in scans the entire set of links on any page of your blog while someone is watching it and it adds a JavaScript event to each of them, which upon clicking on the link (no matter is it a Left Click or a Right Click) will prefix it with the Alexa Redirect URL: in this way the person visiting your blog will visit the desired URL by forwarding the URL to Alexa. Here is an example - you have a link on your blog like http://www.yourblog.com/page/2, but when the user clicks on it, it will transform into http://redirect.alexa.com/redirect?http://www.yourblog.com/page/2

7 Ways to Find a DoFollow Blog

Posted by Takumi 86

dofollow

DoFollow link are the link that will pass their ranking. A blog or site that has good pagerank and DoFollow attribute will pass their page rank to wherever the link goes. In other word, we can say that DoFollow is hyperlink attribute that will tells search engines to pass on any credibility to an outbound link. Wherever the link are come from (e.g. blog post, comment), if a blog has enables the dofollow link with no extrenal rel="nofollow", they will help you to improve your search engine ranking results and getting backlink to your site.



The problem with enabling dofollow link is the increasing number of comment spam and its the main reason why most blog software has "nofollow" tags enabled by default


Here's the typical of search engine that follow and not follow NoFollow Links


  1. Google: Doesn’t Follow NoFollow links. Google does not pass any link juice to an outbound link, if they found a blog page that allow DoFollow in every external link, they will penalize your PageRank and/or banning your site from Search Engine index.

  2. Yahoo & MSN: Follow NoFollow links but does not pass any link juice in page rank calculation.



Here's the number of ways where you can check and find a blog that has dofollow link

1. The most basic way of finding a "dofollow" blog is to take a look at the HTML source code. You can simply doing this by right click on the page and click on "View Page Source" search it among the source code by pressing and hold down CTRL + F and find rel="nofollow" or nofollow.

2. Go to EZ Business Needs and search it by using the keyword that you desired

3. Finding the DoFollow Blog via Google Search. Go to Google Image Search and find it using the keyword "You Comment I Follow" or "U Comment I Follow" with quotation. Usually a blog that has this image, has enables their dofollow link

4. If you are a true fans of Firefox Browser then you could install SearchStatus, SEOQuake, and NoDoFollow. It doesn't matter whether you decide to install only some of these.

5. Go to the directory where you can see a "dofollow" blogs only

6. Go to my list collection

7. Do a search on Google, MSN, Yahoo and any kind of search engine site using this keyword

To Find DoFollow Blog on Blogspot
“inurl:blogspot.com" "intext:do follow”

You can replace blogspot with wordpress if you desire to find dofollow blog on wordpress


Additionally, you can submit your article to social media site that will pass their pagerank to your site

Twitter Followers

This post were inspired by an articles from TechCrunch

Twitter has become a major needs for all people that needs to market their business, site, product and even new place such as restaurant, cafe, and many more. The more follower you have, the more exposure you'll get. Twitter can enables you to gives an update to their followers about what their upline are doing at the moment, its a good thing if you wants to get closer to your upline/follower



Below is the best ways to increase your twitter followers


1. Add "Follow me On Twitter" Link On Every Blog Post Page
Sometimes its useful if you want to get more follower by adding a small link in every page of your blog post. But try to adjust it with your current theme and make sure its fit to be put inside of that blog post


2. Ask Them To Follow You
When you made a post about something that related to twitter, then you might wanna put link to your Twitter account than Twitter.com.


3. Get a Customized Background For Your Twitter Page
Some people never feel bothered to customize their background page but actually it is really important to have if you want to brand yourself.


4. Get Your Avatar
When people wants to add you because they think that you have good content in your blog and good personality also, They will firstly viewing your avatar, if you don have avatar then they will less likely to add you. So grab your images and upload it!


5. Fill out your bio
People often says that bio will determine the characteristic of the owner because your bio is the only place where people get to know about who you really are. And filling up your bio wont hurt your time so badly isn't it!?


6. Add "Follow me On Twitter" Link On Forum Signature
Like site link, you can include your Twitter link to your forum signature, but this require an education on what is this twitter is all about. You can start off your thread about the explanation on using twitter and link to that post or simply re-post that in every forum you are joined.


7. Post Your Twitter URL in Comment Form
I have been inspired by the number of people that were posting their Twitter URL on post that teach you to increase your twitter follower. This might help you to boost up your twitter follower. You should also take a consideration when you post comment as you can submit your Twitter link instead of your site link in comment form


8. Post Good Content On Your Blog and Update It!
When people decide to follow you its probably because they have something interested on you, so try to always updating your blog content and provides good info. You can also try to tweets your follower about the upcoming event so that wont make your follower bored


9. Educate Your Reader About The Use of Twitter
Don underestimate this! Most people still don know about the use of twitter, they might probably thought that site was some sort of social networking site but 'worst'. The phrase worst is refer to the limitation of sending only 140 character and the outlook of main page that isn't really interesting compared to Facebook. So giving them a nice education about the use of twitter will might boost your twitter follower. Read the 17 ways to use Twitter properly, How you can use it to promote your blog, How to market and grow your business using Twitter and Tell them all the tools


10. Running a Contest
Contest are always be the most interesting event that everyone will not missed out. Check out how Shoemoney giveaway a free Flip Mino HD & MacBook AIR if he can get from 15.000 to 20.000 follower.


11. Jump Into Other People Conversation
Unlike facebook where you can easily jump into other people conversation, twitter has no chance on allowing you to jump over into other people conversation. The only thing to allows you is to follow the person. But there is a site named Search Twitter to search and reply to other people conversation. This is the best way if you want people to get to know you and follow you


12. Bring Your Twitter To the World
Everytime you are attending a seminar, events, join podcast interview, chat whether you are the panelist, moderator, audiences or even the committee, you can always promoting your twitter account either in leaflet, years book, presentation, or hands out business cards and identity card name.


13. Put Your Twitter Account in Everywhere
Wherever you join sites and it allows you to input your twitter link, then do submit it, i recommend sites such as Digg, Sphinn, StumbleUpon, Flickr, MyBlogLog, Blogcatalog, LinkedIn, FaceBook, YouTube and everywhere else where you can easily submit and input as many link in your profile


14. Put in Your Autoresponder Emails
If you have an autoresponder service provider account such as Aweber, and you want to send emails to notify your downline and subscriber, you can add your twitter link in your signature and ask them to be your follower

Watch this video to learn how to put a picture & signature link in your aweber auto responders




15. Put Your Twitter Link in Video and Images
Same as promoting your site by video and images, you can do this with your twitter link. Site as flickr can allow you to upload both images and video, so if you have the best captured shot or an images that you found on the net or a video that you created, make sure to leave a small word leading to your twitter account. For this case, i recommend you to use Flickr and YouTube


16. Advertise Using Pay Per Click
If you are a true fans of twitter or the craziest-fans-of-twitter then you might consider to advertise it by using Pay Per Click site. But, really people, is that Twitter is means so much to you?!


17. Spam Following
Last tips on this article and the worst case scenario. Spam Following means that you follow as many people in twitter until you reaches 2000 follower. This method were actually works because there is some people who will follow you back once you follow them but, really, i'm not suggesting you to follow this tips as it may give you a bad reputation. Following many people can give you a hard time when you want to re-tweets to certain upline because there is always a new tweets made by your not-so-wanted upline in every second

13 Tips to Protect Your Wordpress Blog

Posted by Takumi 86

Protect Your Wordpress

Unlike blogger blogspot, Wordpress is more susceptible to be hacked and securing it is the top priority. This article will outlines a lot of different ways to secure your wordpress blog from the installation to the thing you should be doing.


1. Hardening your Password
Don use simple password that anyone can guess it, use the hard one e.g combine the letter, number and special character at the same time, ensure you don use the password that has something related to your personal life.


2. Encrypt Your Login
Everytime you try to login to your wordpress admin CP, your password is sent unencrypted by default. If you intend to open your account on public place e.g cyber cafe, hacker can easily sniff out your login credential info by using some tools. The best way to protect this is to encrypt your login with the help from Chap Secure Login and Semisecure Login plugin. Both of this plugin has the same purpose but in different perspective. Chap Secure Login will hides and encrypt your password with md5 algorithm hash once you have login to your Admin CP. The login process itself is done with the help of Chap protocol. Semisecure Login will encrypt your login password by using a public key on client side then decrypts the password using the private key on the server side.


3. Hides and Protect Your Admin CP Page
It is a must that you should never let the 'spidey' from crawling your admin CP page. Use Robot Meta plugin to prevent spidey from indexing your admin CP and AskApache Password Protect to password protect wp-admin/ folder and login page. You can either set up HTTP Basic Authentication, or HTTP Digest Authentication for more secure login.


4. Always Updating The Latest Version of Wordpress and Plugin
Giving updates to the latest version will fixes the bugs and security vulnerabilities. The best ways for this is to install the latest Wordpress Automatic Upgrade Plugin and always keep your eyes on the latest version of your plugin


5. Perform Regular Security Scan
Install WP-Scanner Plugin will perform security check and regular scan of the security holes such as:


  • Wordpress theme for basic vulnerabilities

  • Enumerates number of installed Plugins and test the security

  • WordPress Version Check




6. As Matt Cutts says, You should protect your wordpress installation. There are three ways that matt cutts defined about this including securing your /wp-admin/ directory, hides your wordpress plugin directory and subscribe to the WordPress Development blog


7. Stop The Brute Force Attack
Brute force is another attempt from hacker to crack your login password and credential info. But the guy from bad neighborhood has noticing this problem and create Login Lockdown plugin to records the IP address and timestamp of every failed WordPress login attempt. If they have detected more than a certain number of login attempts failed within a short period of time then it will disable the login function for all requests from that range. Another good plugin to have is Limit Login Attempts. This plugin will blocks a user for 20 minutes after he enters wrong password 4 times. But you should consider to have only 1 plugins for these matter. Choose the best that you think its suit to be installed


8. Stop The DDOS Attack

DDOS attack

DDOS attack stands for distributed denial-of-service attack. What is this attack do is to send numerous ping request from thousand of client computer that were hijacked and forced to be their slave to attack a single target. This DDOS attack doesn't really affecting so much if its only come from one single IP address but what if from 30.000 IP address? You can stop DDOS attack by following few things

  1. Install and activate WordPress Firewall Plugin

  2. Have DDOS protection installed on your host provider

  3. Running (D)DoS-Deflate script on your site. To do this, login as root by open SSH secure shell access to the server, and run the the following commands one by one:


wget http://www.inetbase.com/scripts/ddos/install.sh
chmod 0700 install.sh
./install.sh

More information to protect your site from DDOS attack



9. Remove The Wordpress Current version
This tips isn't really necessary but it will give a boost to your wordpress speed by not loading the current version. To do this manually, go to your Admin CP > Appearance > Editor and click on header.php and remove the following code
[meta name=”generator” content=”WordPress ” />

Or you can simply modify it into something like
[meta name=”generator” content=”Powered by WordPress” />

There's also a plugin named Replace WP version to 'lie' about the Wordpress version you're using at the moment or Secure WordPress to hides information regarding your wordpress version from non-administrator user and plugin directory from visitors by dropping a blank index.php file


10. Backup Your Database
You can easily backup your database from your hosting manager company but if you prefer by doing it in plugins then WP Database backup might be the best option to have. What the plus point of this plugin is that it will offers to daily e-mail you a backup of your database.


11. Stop The Fake Registration
For those who allowing their reader to sign up and commenting at your blog, these plugin might be a must to have as it can prevent fake registration by bots. It can add image verification or math test to registration process to ensure fake users/bot are not created. You can also install Role Manager plugin to define the capabilities for each user group and the ability to control what users can and cannot do in your blog. This is a good option if you have so many author on your blog and you want to limit their privileges.


12. Ban Those Spammer!
Bad Behavior and WP-Ban can suspend each IP that has been proven as a spammer. Bad Behavior checks the visitor’s IP to see if it’s a spammer or not. If the IP has been proven as malicious, it can block that IP from accessing your blog. While WP-Ban will display a custom ban message when the banned IP tries to visit you blog. You can also exclude certain IPs from being banned


13. Hardening Your Codes
You might wanna read this document from Wordpress that covers a few things to applies such as

  • secure MySQL Database Design

  • securing wp-config

  • Implementing SSL Encryption Security that you can install it when you purchase in your web host company

17 Best Tips and Plugins to Increase your Wordpress Speed

Posted by Takumi 86

speed up

I have been experiencing slowness with my wordpress blog. I don know whether to blame my web server or from wordpress cache. So i try to figure it out by finding a solutions and have these tips from many sites. These tips have been proven on helping me a lot to increase my site speed. However if this slowness situations continuously emerged, then i'll consider moving to a better host.



My intentions on creating this post was simply to help people improving their site speed into a lot of better, so here i'm going to explain from steps to steps, phase to phase on what you should be doing


Phase 1: Analyze Your Site Speed

We can't decide whether your site is really having problem with the speed until you're doing a test

1. You need to test your site speed with Website Speed Test from iWebTools. Do multiple test since the results can be inaccurate due to fluctuations in your internet connection speed.

2. Use Pingdom to get a detailed analysis of your site's loading time and performance.

3. Another Tools which i myself have been doing to determine my site speed is YSlow from Yahoo. It analyzes your web pages and tells you the reason why they are slowing down based on their rules for high performance web sites. You can also use YSlow directly from your Firefox by installing Firefox Addons

You can also see this presentation from Yahoo that covers their 14 best practices to optimize your site speed and 20 more best practices for faster web pages that were categorized from server, content, cookie, javascript, css, images, and mobile




Phase 2: Things to Consider In your Wordpress

There's the thing you need to consider with your Wordpress blog, including:

1. Always Update Your Wordpress Blog

Its important to always have the latest version in fact it is more critical. They usually have a lot of improvement from their previous version. The developer wont release it for fun, they are doing it to improve the code in way to make things better. This include your wordpress blog version and the plugins as well.

2. Remove The Unused Plugin

When you have decide to use templates and never had intentions to change it in short period of time, then remove the unused plugin. I know that there's a certain template which require you to install certain plugin however if you have so many template and each of those template require you to install different plugin and you did install those plugin but never activate it, so why you should keep the inactive one? There's also a list of plugins that you should not install

3. Optimize Your Image Files

When you decide to give screenshot image in your post and the image size is rather large then you should consider reducing the size a bit more. The image size can be compressed using The Following Application. Why does it matter? because each time you post picture, the more size and dimension your images has, the more the server will have it load and kills your server bandwidth speed.

4. Clean up your theme

According to Yoast.com and WPCandy, There's a code that needs to be cleaned including decreasing whitespace, using external scripts, using shorthand CSS, modifying header.php from

[html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >

[head profile="http://gmpg.org/xfn/11">

[meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="

[?php bloginfo('html_type'); ?>;

charset=[?php bloginfo('charset'); ?>" />


into something like

[html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="ltr">

[head profile="http://gmpg.org/xfn/11">

[meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />


and you can also make your stylesheet URL's static, make your pingback URL static, make your feed URL's static, you can remove the blog's WordPress version, make your blog's name and tagline / description static

5. Do Not Upload Something Big

If you have any intentions to upload something really big like video, audio or uncompressed files such as RAR and ZIP, then you should consider not to upload it on your own server. Use File Hosting sites instead such as Megaupload, Rapidshare, Depositfiles, or if you intends to streaming your audio and video, use Imeem, YouTube, Veoh, etc

6. Compress Your Javascript - This online tools can compress and reduce file size by 60% as it removing and shortening the unnecessary script

7. Try to Validate your code at W3C ensuring that you don’t have any major errors that slowing down your page

8. Configuring Apache for Maximum Performance or Use phpMyAdmin to optimize your database by Log in to phpMyAdmin, select all the tables, and then click "repair" and "optimize."


Phase 3: Installing Wordpress Plugins

1. WP Cache and WP Super Cache - The best plugin that will make your blogs page load more faster than ever before

2. PHP Speedy - is a script that you can install on your web server to automatically speed up the download time of your web pages.

3. WordPress Plugin: Fix Database - This Plugins will check all the tables within your database and fix any error that were found. Once its done, it will optimize the tables. or simply use Optimize DB Plugins to optimize the table of your database

4. WP-DBManager allows you to manage your Wordpress database, optimize it, repair, backup, restore, delete backup, drop/empty tables and run selected queries.

5. CSS Compress WordPress plugin - This plugin simply automatically removes comments, new lines, tabs, and gzip compresses (GZIP) any CSS file called with ""

6. IFrameWidgets can stop slow loading JavaScript widgets from breaking your page.

Top 18 Plugins and Hacks for Wordpress Comments Page

Posted by Takumi 86



Wordpress has unique design comment form which 'encourage' readers to leave comment. Basically it allows reader to input their emails, name, and website and which is why many people are prefer to commenting in wordpress because it asks you more 'close' about your personal information. Nowadays, a lots of people out there were trying to improve and enhance their wordpress comment form into something innovative.


1. Alternating Colors for Comments Column



Having different colors for each column of your comment would be wonderful to have. Especially when you're interested to have multiple colors than 1 colors. There's 2 option that you could use, first from Tamba2.org and second from NetTuts


2. Colouring Single/Multiple Author Comment



When you decide to change your author comment color, then its time to use this hack, there are 2 hack, first from MattCutts Blog and second from WP Hacks Blog. I'm currently using tips from WP Hacks and you can see the result from my comment section here.


3. Comment Numbers



If you want to try something new and you decide to give the number for each comment you have, then you could try to use tips from WP Engineer or from Nettuts. Both are worth to try.


4. Displaying Recent Comments



Displaying Recents comments in your blog can gives the new visitor a new looks about what's the current topic that has being commented. In this case, you can choose between put the code manually or Install the plugins


5. Displaying How much Comments/Trackback



You may want to inform your visitor on how much is the comment/trackback that your blogs have. Well, this trick will tell you how. Basically you just need to find appropriate place in your blog and paste the code. Here's how you can display number of comment and trackback


6. Put Avatar On Your Comments - Gravatar/MyBlogLog/Twitter avatars



Avatar is an identity for author, not just for author but for the reader also. This features always available on every forums, social media and social networking site but how if we do commenting on blog?! Can we get our avatar as well? Gravatar is the place where you can make your avatar based on your registered emails. To display this on your blog comments, you need plugins or code. However, the latest WP 2.7+ version has this features by default, so i'm just giving additional advice in case you're still using old WP version. For Twitter avatar, you can grab it from WP Recipes Blog. For MyBlogLog Avatar, you can use WP Gravatar plugins. You can even create your own gravatar with just 5 minutes


7. Editing Comments



This hack allows the site author to edit your comment directly from your blog post pages. Its a good thing if you feel lazy to edit comment from your admin CP.


8. Paginated Comments



You have lots of comment like 100+ comment on single post and you decide to separate it by paginating them. There are 2 plugins to choose, first from Wordpress Plugins site and last from 2i2j Blogs. Personally i'm using plugin from 2i2j Blogs, Because its easy to modify and re-arrange


9. Editing Comments for Admin and Visitor



For visitor, when you leave comment and you notice about something like you want to add more text, fix the link, etc You can now allows your visitor to edit their comment by using this plugins. Basically the plugin uses AJAX function like the one i use in my threaded comment. However if the site admin moderates the comment then it is most likely that this hack will turned out to be meaningless


10. Notify Your Users About Incoming Comments



Do you want to notify your reader about new comments? then use the plugins from TxFx.net. This plugin will send reader a notification by email about new comments to which blog post they are commented.


11. Displaying The Most Commented

most commented

Your blog has a lot of comment but you don know which blog post are being commented the most. This Plugins will show you exactly how much comment on certain blog post. If you don like the looks of it then you could try to manually place this code


12. Separate Comments and Trackbacks



Trackback is the link created by other site owner that linking back to your blog post. Comment is a message made by you and your reader. By Default, comments and trackback are being displayed together into comments list. Its hard to determine which one is the comment and which one is trackback. But a little help from ProBlogDesign will teach you how.


13. Displaying The Allowed Tags



This hacks will not teach you to show the tags of your blog post instead it teaches you to show what is the tags that are allowed to put inside comment text area.


14. Remove The Nofollow Attributes from Comments



For those who wants to gives the 'credit' to the commenter, then this hack is a must-to-have. There are two plugins for this: DoFollow 4.0 and Nofollow Free.


15. Gives Innovatives Smiley Icon



Wordpress as default are displaying only the basic smiley icon, if you're bored with the current smiley icon, then try something innovative like giving Monkey Smiley Icon or Yahoo Messenger Smiley Icon


16. Give Star Rating to Your Comments



Usually when people are commenting, they sometimes can gives valuable information and if other reader feels that their comments deserved to get rated, then this plugin will help those reader to gives the 'credit'.


17. Comment Validation Hacks



The Best ways to fight against spammer is to gives them Turing number. It will asks your reader to calculate simple math such as num, minus. This hacks is probably a must for WP 2.7 user or other blogs who had good traffic site.


18. Threaded/Nested Comments



If you like to have debates with your reader, then using wordpress thread comment will enables you to do that. Its similar to Intense Debate but with AJAX function to make your comment post much faster and without requiring you to load the pages. It has also up to 3 level nested comment. Another hacks to nested comment up to 10 level is by using the hack from CD Harisson Blogs. There are 2 methods to try out:

Top 11 SEO Plugin for Wordpress

Posted by Takumi 86



Lots of SEO technique are nowadays available for all blogger user to help them improves their site traffic and get rank better. Being as a wordpress user can get so many advantage not only from the technique itself but also from the widget which we known as plugin. Wordpress has so many plugin including SEO plugin to help you in getting your site noticed by the search engine user and increase your site rank as well.



1. All in One SEO Pack - This plugin allows you to set the basic SEO stuff for your blog. You can set the Home Title, Description, keyword, setting the format for post title, page title, tag title and many more

2. Optimal Title - Its a plugin that mirrors the function of wp_title() exactly, but moves its position to higher than before. This allows you to have your blog name tacked on to the end of the page title instead of having it appear first.

3. Redirection - This plugin helps you when you make a changes/upgrade to your blog but the changes itself has turn the permalink structure into something else. You don have to worry because this plugin will automatically redirect all the old link into the new one

4. SEO Smart Links - This plugin can automatically link keywords and phrases in your blog posts and comments with the corresponding posts, pages, categories and tags on your blog. Additionally SEO Smart Link can open external link in new windows and add the "nofollow" attributes which is helpful if you don wanna get banned from Google for advertising other people site in your blog

5. Robots Meta - This plugin will tell the search engine 'spidey' to crawl on certain pages/post. If you did happen to have duplicate content from other people site (which i highly don suggest you) or from your previous site then this plugin is a must-to-have. It has the option to put nofollow link such as comment IF someone put their site link with a href tags, also prevent the search engine from crawling your admin pages (including wp-admin, wp-login, etc)

6. SEO Friendly Images - Images also play an important role in your SEO world. So it’s very important if you tag them correctly to give a chance for search engine to crawl them. This plugin automatically adds alt and title attributes to all your images in all your posts.

7. SEO Slugs - When you have post title like “How To Rank Higher In Google” you'll have this permalink: ‘/how-to-rank-higher-in-google’ but what you really want for your permalink is to look like this: '/rank-higher-in-google' This plugin will help you to realize that by automatically removes stop words from the permalink, and helping you to rank better.

8. Google Positioner - This plugin allows you to set as many keyword for your site and once you set it, you can get the position of your website from your keywords. This handy plugin allows you to track the keywords you’re getting search for and it’s pointless if you only selecting a few keywords for your post and hoping that the rest will goes well.

9. Permalinks Moved Permanently - A common mistake made by bloggers is choosing the wrong permalink structure. When you start your blog you think you know which one of the permalink is the best, but as the time goes by, you decide to change it. The problem is that your traffic will come to a standstill until your site is fully reindexed by the search engine, and that could takes a month or even more. This plugin is similar to redirection but it much easier and better to permanently manage changes for permalink structure.

10. Nofollow Case by Case - By default, wordpress are setting the comment form into nofollow. This means that no PageRank (PR) is given by the link. This plugin simply removes the nofollow attribute as there are number of reasons you would want to give away the link juice. Many new blog use this method to get more exposure from search engine traffic

11. Google XML Sitemaps - XML Sitemaps is a feature to get indexed from search engine. It has an additional option to notify the Google, MSN, Yahoo, ask.com about new updates in your blog. It has also an advanced option to limit the number of post to appear in the sitemap.

Top 6 Reasons Why You Should Use Wordpress

Posted by Takumi 86

blogger vs wordpress

As i stated earlier about what is the prons and cons of using Blogpsot and Wordpress, now we head down to The reasons why you should use Wordpress. There is strong reasons why you should use Wordpress instead blogspot



  1. Many Plugins / Widgets.
    Wordpress has so many widgets available such as top commentators, popular posts, related posts, recent posts, recent comments and many more. Plugins in Wordpress seemed to be endless because there is always a new version for current plugins. For example if you are using related posts, in the next few days/ weeks, wordpress will inform you that there is new version of this widget, you can either update it or leave it. While in Blogger blogspot, you cannot find that widget not until you make it

  2. Publishing or Editing Blog Posts. In Wordpress, publishing and editing new or existing post is much faster than Blogger Blogspot. Unlike Blogger, Wordpress can edit, delete and publishing numerous blog entries, Thats right! you can do that by checking in the check box to which blog post you want to edit or delete it.

  3. Set the URL Structure. Wordpress can set which one is your fav URL Structure, you can easily do this by go to Admin CP > Setting > Permalink. There is 5 option available,
    Default : hxxp://yourdomain.com/?p=123
    Day and name : hxxp://yourdomain.com/2008/12/31/sample-post/
    Month and name : hxxp://yourdomain.com/2008/12/sample-post/
    Numeric : hxxp://yourdomain.com/archives/123
    and Custom Structure

  4. Send or See Trackback Link. You can see who is linking back to your post or you can send the trackback to tell them that you're linking back to them

  5. Template. Same as Plugins, wordpress has so many wonderful theme and you can even pay for it. Plus its very easy to set it since you just download and upload it. And don forget that you can also set the widget to appear in your blog

  6. Popular Blog use Wordpress. I found out that all the popular blog i meet were using wordpress and they're keep using it till now. So if you have any thought that wordpress is only for admin or the person who had experience in Site administration, then you're wrong because if they can, and so do you, all you need is to get used to it


I hope this article will encourage you to use Wordpress and be more expert in using PHP script

How to redirect Wordpress into .com domain?

Posted by Takumi 86



If you have wordpress account (e.g. yourblog.wordpress.com) and we want to redirect it into .com domain that you just purchased, the first thing we need to do is to match permanent link to your wordpress blog post otherwise it will not automatically redirected into your blogpost. Go to Admin CP > Setting > Permalinks. Choose Day and name format, After that, we can redirect it by following these step:



1. Go to Admin CP > Upgrades > Domains. Type your .com domain that you just create (without http://)

2. You'll then see this message



Wordpress are using this way to verify that you are the real owner of that .com domain. Please Note down all the 3 nameserver and don close this page!!

3. In order to verify, go to your domain host, in this case i will use GoDaddy. Log in to your GoDaddy account, click My Account > Manage Domain from your domain names

4. Select the .com domain that you just registered by checking on the check box then click Nameserver icon



I highly suggest you to note down all the default nameserver because you may want to use this if you have any intention to host your own wordpress in domain hosting. After that, replace the default nameserver with the one you just noted in step #2

5. Go back to your wordpress page, if you have close this page then head down to Admin CP > Upgrades > Domains and re-type your .com domain.

6. You should be able to verify it by purchasing $10/year. After that click "Put Blog here" next to your domain. Done!

Note!! Since the default nameserver is already been mapped into your wordpress blog (see step #4), then you can no longer use it. And if you have any intention to host all your wordpress setup files into domain hosting, set all the way back to default nameserver otherwise your .com domain will continuously redirect into .wordpress.com

If you host your wordpress in GoDaddy and you did forgot to note down all the default nameserver, then go to this page Look at the date when you registered that .com domain

So leave your blogger account and what you need for now is to lead your visitor to your new wordpress blog. I accidentally found this nice trick to redirect visitor from Blogger blogspot to wordpress and just have a thought to share with you all


1. Login to your Blogger account, Ensure you are using old blogspot but if you are using new custom layout then click on “Revert to Classic Template” option (Dasboard > Edit Layout > Edit HTML) to go back to old blogger account

2. Put the following code by CTRL + A and paste this code. Make sure you replace the red bold one into your new wordpress blog

[html>
[head>
[script LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
[!--
window.location.replace("http://www.devilsworkshop.org/");
-->
[/script>
[noscript>
[meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="10; URL=http://www.devilsworkshop.org/"/>
[meta http-equiv="expires" content="10"/>
[meta name="Description" content="301 moved permanently"/>
[META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX, FOLLOW"/>
[META NAME="GOOGLEBOT" CONTENT="NOINDEX, FOLLOW"/>

[a href=" http://www.devilsworkshop.org"> [h1>http://www.devilsworkshop.org[/h1>[/a>
[p>Sorry for inconvenience... [/p>
[/center>
[/body>
[/html>

PS - You can also use Plugin but honestly i got an error when i attempt to install it. If you want the plugin, grab it here

3. We want all your blog post to redirect as well into wordpress blog, so we are going back to your new wordpress and edit index.php (Admin CP > Appearance > Editor) Put this code on the top and replace the bold one into your old blogspot blog.

[?php
$oldBlogURL = "rb286.blogspot.com";
$ref = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
$refarr = explode("/", $ref);
if ($refarr[2] == $oldBlogURL ){
$bloggerurl = '/'.$refarr[3].'/'.$refarr[4].'/'.$refarr[5];
$sqlstr = " SELECT wposts.guid FROM $wpdb->posts wposts, $wpdb->postmeta wpostmeta WHERE wposts.ID = wpostmeta.post_id AND wpostmeta.meta_key = 'blogger_permalink' AND wpostmeta.meta_value = '".$bloggerurl."' ";
$wpurl = $wpdb->get_results($sqlstr, ARRAY_N);
if ($wpurl){
header( 'Location: '.$wpurl[0][0].' ') ;
exit;
}
}


== This is just another additional info from me ==

4. The next step is to removing your old blog from the search engine index. These are important to avoid duplicate content. If you don do this, then the Search Engine will penalize/ban your wordpress site for duplicate content. In order to do that, go to Dashboard > Setting > Basic. Set Let search engines find your blog? into no


5. If you have FeedBurner ID, you might as well changing that one. Go to your Feed, select one of your feed (if you happen to have more than one) click on Edit the Feed Details and change the original feed address into http://yourblog.com/feed (in Linux hosting) or http://yourblog.com/index.php/feed (in Windows hosting)

2. After you create a new account, sign in to access your wordpress admin page. And choose which one of the template that you want to use (Admin CP > Appearance), or you can search in Google, grab it, upload and set it as your template. If you can't upload it, then use One-Click Install plugins, or use FTP client such as FileZilla to upload it.
