Make some additional cash by writing posts.

If You have a blog it is obvious, that You like sharing your thoughts and opinions with others right? What if someone pays You for doing that? Think about it – writing about Your favourite film/book/restaurant or any other thing You like, telling Your honest review to world and getting paid for that? “Impossible” you say, well it is not :) .

Ever heard of Paid Per Post? It is a affiliate program focusing directly on bloggers. They search for people who have some products, and need some popularity and gives You the opportunity to review this product, tell everyone, who is visitng Your blog what You think about some product – You can recommend it, dislike it and even then – You’ll be paid. Good for us, bloggers right?

I was a bit skeptical, but joined and I do not regret it. A lot of offers, quick and reliable payments, which are made via Paypal after 30 days of writing a post. This is required, because after 30 days, Pay Per Post checks Your blog for this post, make sure it is still there and is not modified in any kind of way.

So I’d like You to see some details about Pay Per Post blog requirements to join:

1. Blogs Only: PayPerPost only accepts blogs, and not websites, message boards, e-mails, IM or other similar services.
2. English Only Blogs:The blog and all posts relating to PayPerPost Opportunities must be in the English language or such other language as is identified in the particular Opportunity.
3. Original Blog Content:The blog must contain original editorial content in addition to Opportunity-related or other paid posts. Blogs that exist primarily for payment will not be accepted.
4. Minimum Blog Age:logs must be live for a minimum of thirty (30) days, counted from the date of the blog’s first post, with at least ten (10) pre-existing posts written in the 30 days prior to registration with the PayPerPost Marketplace.
5. Chronological Archives: Blogs must have a chronological archive to verify age. Categorical archives will not be accepted. You acknowledge and agree that PayPerPost may also verify compliance with these age and posting requirements via a third party spider.

Basic simple rules – as You can see it is not hard to meet the requirements :) . Hope You’ll join them and make a great revenue, because I believe every single blogger would be happy from some additional cash :)

So, Join them already! start making money!

Cannot select multiple files

After installing a Service Pack 1.0 for my Windows Vista Home Premium edition I’ve noticed, that I cannot select more than one file at a time. Well, I was worried about it, so I searched i little and found an answer to this problem:

So, if You have problems with selecting multiples files, then try this:

1. Open Regedit
2. Find path: HKCU\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\
3. Delete the Bags & BagMRU keys

After doing it restart Your Windows Vista and everything should be back to normal again :) .

How To quickly add Your site to many free directories

Every website owner experienced it at least once. Adding Your site to many directories to get higher page rank and maybe some additional traffic is boring and time consuming. I’ve found an easier way to such things, for what I see, it is as good as manual adding, but it is less time consuming.
The whole secret is one, powerfull ( and free in addition :) ) tool called digiXMAS Submitter. It is a application which lets You to quickly add a predefined page information to many web directories at once. If the CAPTCHA is required, then this program will show You the CAPTCHA and You’ll need to manually enter the code, the only thing, that You need to do Yourself.

The safest way to not get Your site banned from google index is to add it to average 40-50 directories a day. With that program, adding it to this amount of directories requires about 10-15 minutes :) . So let’s get started:

• Getting digiXMAS Submitter
  Well, to use the program we need to have it right? :) digiXMAS Submitter is free to download from their home site which can be found here.
• Add Your site information to digiXMAS Submitter
  After downloading, creating an account and login in to program it is time to set our sitem, which we will be adding to directories.
  Go to My Sites -> Add a Site and fill the required fields.

  Compare Credit Cards We search over 300 credit cards - apply online now! www.applyhere.co.uk

  

  
  Okay, we have now a full description about site we gonna add to many directories. Half of work completed :)

• Download a List of directories
  There are 2 free directories lists avaible. First can be download from digiXMAS site by File -> Open direcory list -> digiXAMS Directory list.
  It looks like this:
  
  This option is quite good, because they have a long list of sites with even 9 Page Rank

  Second option is to download a list of free directories from the net. The example, from where You can download such a list is DirectoryRecap.com.

• Adding the site to directories
  Final step. Go to Submit -> Customized Submit and set up, to how much directories You want to add Your site:
  
  Begin the adding process. As You can see, adding to around 60 directories requires less than 15 minutes. Also this program reports which submission was succesfull, which was not, and therefore You can add Your site manually later to failed directories.

I hope I helped You showing You this method. As I can see on DigiXMAS – they even offer a program, that lets You add Your articles to many directories in similar way like adding sites. If You have any questions or problems feel free to ask me – I’ll try to help the best I can :) .

10 days of My blog Life – Google Analitycs vs Hosting provider Stats.

Geekhall.net has 10 days now, to know, if people even come to this site I’ve put 2 statistics applications. One is from my hosting provider, the second one is Google Analitycs. Well, here’s the trouble begin. They show totally different things, and it is hard to judge, which os more accurate, and this article will be exactly about that.

Lest begin with my hosting provider statisitcs.

From what can be seen, in past 10 days I had 2506 unique visitors, with 227 uniques average per day. Well, that’s good for a blog having only 10 days right? :). Going deeper into the statistics shows me that almost 45% of my traffic comes from USA and Canada. Very Good :).
Seeing those statistics make me happy. It makes me feel, that I’m writing some useful stuff for people who need this knowledge.

But then, I go to Google Analitycs and this is what I see:

What the hell? 548 visits and 374 visitors? That’s nearly 7 times less, than from my hosting provider statistics!
The only thing which was common for both stats is that most of the traffic is from USA and Canada, at least that good right? :)

So I was getting little worried and started searching why it is happening like that. And come with some conclusions:

• I’ve placed Google Analitycs code at the very end of my site (in end.php file – the last loading possible), that means it only counts, when everything loaded properly. But testing in all major browser, using proxies and without proxies, indicates that my site has NO PROBLEM with loading to the end, and furthermore it is going pretty fast (good hosting provider, hehe :) )
• Statistics application provided by my hosting service are more accurate, because they “start the site”. If someone is entering my site (even if this means the whole site for some reasons won’t load in all) he is already counted to the statistics.
• Google analytics for some reasons has problems with identifying European sources of traffic. From what I’ve read almost 20% of my traffic comes from Spain, France, Germany and Switzerland.
• Statistics provided by my host also counts me (even if I go in Admin area), but, I log 1-2 daily so the difference should not be so much right (fo sure NOT 7 times more traffic from Admin aera :) )

Well, my conclusion – both statistics gives me quite much information about peoples visitng my sites, but my host provider stats are more accurate to that, what actually is going on with my site. Google analytics are good to know how much time they spend on my site and from where exactly does the traffic comes.

In my opiniopn Google Analitycs is not the best stat application, but if they improve, it will be really powerful tool for webmasters.

I should propably have a 3rd party stats application – I’ll have better comparison and know more, about users. I recommend You to do the same :
