Use custom url channels to track earning of blogs --- Google Adsense
Written by Basis-Consultant on 12:41 PM Blogger gives easy way to integrate ads into blog but it doesnot provide way to track earnings from that adsense block. I suggest using url channels to track earning of each adsense block
Uses
- You can Track earning of each adsense block
- you can change the format if the adsense block is not earning good
- you can decide which blog to concentrate or which blog to drop depending on earnings from that blog
to create a url channel or associate existing url channel just goto
google.com/adsense --- > adsense setup ---> manage ads.
click on edit settings of the adblock which you have to associate or create new url channel. click on add as shown in figure or create a new channel and add it..
Bad Thing About Answerbag
Written by Basis-Consultant on 11:45 AMOne of my answerbag account is deleted or suspended. Some one might have complained on it. Even though i haven't spammed. Answerbag must provide an option to keep your Q&A private as in Yahoo Answers. Though answerbag is not a great traffic generator as Yahoo Answers but it is still a good place to promote your site and get traffic. Hopefully they will take a look into that.

Be careful When answering on Yahoo Answers
Written by Basis-Consultant on 12:37 AMOne of my yahoo answers account got suspended for violating community guide lines. Yahoo can suspend your account for any stupid reason. BUT, before that its better than you take precaution about how to answer. Here are some guide lines
1) Make your Q&A network private. Go to Edit you Profile Setting and set the following settings as shown in figure..
2) Give only relevant information. Don't go just answering randomly and irritating people.
3) Linking in every answers is fine as long as your answer is relevant to that question.
4) Don't vote as best answers for your other profiles (if you have any)
Answer Questions in Yahoo Answers to bring More Traffic
Written by Basis-Consultant on 2:02 PM
Yahoo Answers is one of the most or is the most popular community where people get answers to their questions and solutions for their problems.
You can get lot of traffic from yahoo answers if you answer questions correctly on yahoo answers. There are lot of people who don't know even the basics of your niche who are searching for answers an would be more than happy if you can give them a perfect answer. One of my website gets atleast 500 visitors from yahoo answers only!!. Just think about how much traffic it can bring to you. All you have to do is just sign in with your yahoo account and start answering questions that fall in your category.
Also don't just answer as random to any question. First determine whether the question falls in your niche and answer. You can even get ideas on what to blog from reading those question and answers. Yahoo answers is one of the most undiscovered source of traffic i would say.
Yahoo answers show up in high rank in search results of google so you will get more traffic from yahoo answers. There is also another service but less popular than yahoo answers. It is answerbag.

Social Twist - A new all in one Social Bookmarking Button
Written by Basis-Consultant on 8:22 AM
I just found this button showing in many blogs lately.
One of the advantages of this button is that it has all options for your blog visitors to spread a word about your blog or send your post if they find it useful. This button has all options like- Send Email
- Send IM
- Blogging it
- Social Bookmarking
- Social networking options.
Only Important Services are listed. It is looking professional and adds beauty to your blog. They also provide statistics of bookmarking. If you find that people are bookmarking only in some form you can remove other options. It is highly customizable.
But they don't provide itemized stats like in addthis.. Anyway i found this to be a good option for those who want to give lots of options for their visitors for bookmarking.

More Chat Box Tools
Written by Basis-Consultant on 1:50 AMThese are two chat box applications i have come across. You can use these chat box to interact with your visitor community. As i have already mentioned these chatboxes are useful only in entertainment blogs.
Chatango
This is highly customizable. I am very impressed by its quality and you can find it on almost all anime websites like UMAIANIME. You can register a name on their website and post message using that id in any chatango shout box.
Chatroll
This is also a great chat tool. I really like the interface of this chat box. It is like a yahoo live chat room. You can see the list of users in the side bar and it is very creative.. You can register your chatbox here
Visit my other post on other types of chatbox.
But in the downside the chat box might not help in increasing content of your website. IF you make people to comment on your blog they you can have good content for you blog.

Social Bookmarking Button providers
Written by Basis-Consultant on 9:54 PMThere are many social bookmarking button providers. These buttons are used to bookmark sites or web pages in many popular social bookmarking websites. Addthis, sharethis and AddtoAny are most popular among them.
Addthis provides simple social bookmarking widgets
Addthis provides two type of widgets one is plain HTML button which popups a window with list of social bookmarking websites like this
All popular social bookmarking websites are listed in the window. They also provide a JavaScript button which un-clutters on hovering showing all major and more frequently used sites.
Click here on how to add addthis button to your blog.
Addthis buttons are simple and loads faster. They also provide statistics of pages that are bookmarked. Blogs on blogger.com usually use addthis buttons.
ShareThis
They provide a variety of services. Their buttons usually load slow ( i have seen many bloggers complaining about that).
Two types of buttons are provided by them. One is standard and other is rotating icon button. This button has options to bookmark, send through mail and post your webpage to various services.
First Register at sharethis.com then goto http://www.sharethis.com/getbutton and you will goto this page...
Select your platform to add the button. You can use code for other websites n you will be redirected to other page. Share this is highly customizable. You change the color of tabs, length and width of button along with the sites that appear for bookmarking. After customizing your widget click on get sharethis code button and you will get a javascript code to add to your blog.
Share this button is highly customizable and gives a lot of options to your visitors but it is reported that it slow downs you website speed. Try it first and if does slow down then switch to addthis button.
Add to Any
There is one more provider that provides social bookmarking buttons. Add to any has one feature like search for service you have to bookmark. It is same as addthis button also has options for bookmarking and email the page link.
They also provide button to allow visitors to subscribe to your rss feeds in client of their choice like google reader or netvibes or bloglines etc..
Any way these social bookmarking /subscription buttons make easy for visitors to bookmark of subscribe to the blog they like
