If you haven't signed up on these places yet, go ahead and do it without fail. 1. Facebook Facebook is the second largest social network in the world, with more than a hundred million users, most of who are from the US.

Rob worked and created this impressive program, when he had just started this blogging and was still earning a small fortune from it.

Did you know that you could watch television programs through your computer, with an Internet connection? Yes, with a subscription, at an upfront payment and no recurring payments at all, you can get as many as 3000 TV channels and movies in HDTV/DVD quality to your computer. There are only advantages for the Internet TV (iTV) over the traditional television. Here, we have four of the best iTV providers in the market. Here are some of the advantages: First of all, you can choose the programs you want to watch and leave the rest. In the normal television, you have to switch channels for this, while in iTV, you have access to a particular episode of a program any time you want it. For instance, if you missed an episode of 'Grey's Anatomy', by a subscription to iTV, you can watch it any time anywhere . You don't need to install any extra hardware, such as the TV tuner card as required by the normal analog television. Another major advantage is that no matter where you are...

[An Article by Laurel Shah] Professional bloggers earn money by the great benefit of traffic. They have either done proper keyword research and optimization on their websites to get enormous traffic, or have purchased it through such programs as Google Adwords. Traffic translates down to payments. Here are the various ways in which Professional bloggers earn online. 1. They promote affiliate products from such sites as ClickBank , PayDotCom , Commission Junction (CJ) , Pepperjam Network , etc. These product sales earn about 75 per cent of commissions. They also promote books and other items from Amazon . 2. They create their own digital products and market them through ClickBank, PayDotCom, etc. These products can be anything, such as ebooks, video series, software, etc. But you will get sales only if you offer something really worthy for the money. 3. They run ads on ad networks like Google Adsense , Chitika , WidgetBucks , LinkWorth , etc. 4. Some professional bloggers earn by freela...

Here is a list of some terribly long words in English language that have existed at some point of time in history. Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis (45 letters): Name of a lung disease. It is supposed to be a disease that is caused by the inhalation of fine silica dust. Osseocarnisanguineoviscericartilaginonervomedullary (51) and Osteosarchaematosplanchnochondroneuromuelous (44): Thomas Love Peacock invented both these words through his satirical novel Headlong Hall. The words mean 'related to human features like bone, flesh, organs, etc.' Praetertranssubstantiationalistically (37): A word first used by Mark McShane. Aequeosalinocalcalinoceraceoaluminosocupreovitriolic (52): First used by Dr Edward Strother. Floccinaucinihilipilification (29): Describing something as 'worthless'. Pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism (30): A gene mutation disease. Antidisestablishmentarianism (28): A political situation in Britain in the late 19th century. Honorific...

If you are thinking about moving into online business, you must have a website hosted in a professional service. But you need to be really quick in domain registration. Since thousands and thousands of domains are registered daily, it may be a matter of days before you lose your domain name. If you need some time for you to build your web service and host it in the domain of your choice, don't delay your domain registration, instead you should register and park the domain. We will see more about this. Why Domain Parking? Domain parking is the practice of simply registering the domain and keeping it until you have your web service built and designed for full operation, as opposed to hosting. A temporary way for keeping a domain. Normal parking services don't offer you much benefit. They just put up an 'under construction' banner and keep the websites live, until you actually host your service to the domain. Also, you are not supposed to promote the domain by link buildin...

Yesterday we had a discussion with our Twitter followers. Here is the question: Do you take time to read the tweets of the people you follow? Do you un-follow someone if they tweet mostly personal info and affiliate links? Let's see what the followers have in mind (I have eliminated those who haven't posted a clear opinion and edited some of them): @RawrStar : I follow very few people, so I can read every tweet. I think it's ignorant not to read them all. @ErinNorton : Yep I read tweets. I think a good mix of personal, self promo, and random links is the best. What do you think of personal & links? [My answer: I stick with lower than 10 per cent of self-promo (affiliate) and almost nil personal info.] @Campingblogger : Heck yeah, Twitter is like the fruit salad of the Internet. @Dianatimmons : I read all my follower's tweets. I scan first. I like a balance of subjects, dislike tweets that have TMI (author means Too Much Information) about family stuff. @Sassywo...

Dear friends, recently, we had a post regarding stopping duplicate content on Blogger . In that post, we dealt with removing the DoFollow attribute in the recent comments widget. Here is an update to it. Even after adding NoFollow attribute, I found that comment permalinks get indexed in Google. The culprit is the comment date and time link at the bottom of every comment, which is DoFollow. Here is what you need to do to add NoFollow to this too. Go to Blogger Layouts->Edit HTML->Check Expand widget templates Look for the code similar to: <a expr:href='"#comment-" + data:comment.id' title='comment permalink'><data:comment.timestamp/></a> [The data:comment.timestamp adds time details we see in the comment]. If you don't use the customized template, you may just search for data:comment.timestamp and you will find a code similar to this. Add rel="nofollow to the anchor tag. Here is the result: <a expr:href='"#comment-...

Do you know that Wikipedia can be edited by anyone from anywhere in the world, even without a registered user account? In this context, there has always been disputes as to the authenticity of the content. Yesterday, Ms Laurel Shah and I (@vjlenin) posted our Twitter followers a query: Do you believe Wikipedia is an authentic source of information? The @replies have been quick and enlightening. They are posted here. Make sure you follow interesting Twitter accounts here. @Ncub8 : I believe that as a whole, Wikipedia is fairly accurate by virtue of massive crowdsourcing. It shouldn't be used academically. @LizS4ra : oh heavens no, it's editable by any loon. @RawrStar : It's not considered a viable source of information in exams, and it's often inaccurate. I'd say no. @Adenhepburn : Tough Q, I've changed my answer 5 times in my head already so I'll throw something crazy out there with NO thinking to justify! @Ulumarketing : It really depends. If it is...

The scenario is like this: an amateur advertises online for various freelancing jobs, such as content writing, web design, SEO, link building, programming, and more. A company that offers such services to its clients may approach this amateur and engage him to do the work on their behalf. They charge the client a professional sum, such as 30 or 40 dollars per hour of work and route some 5 or 10 dollars per hour to the amateur (sometimes this is even worse, like 1 or 2 dollars). The middleman benefits and both the client and amateur are cheated. This sort of business is in operation for some years now in full swing. Read this post to know how you can avoid these people. This scenario is more than severe in the Indian Web marketplace, which offers many quality freelancers who lack only that extra experience. Some US Web services companies know this fact. They simply engage them do the work and verify it, then present the report to their client and charge them. This process is known as d...

[Special Entry] Aamir Khan's latest film is titled a little weirdly for the taste of Hindi filmgoers. 'Ghajini': They have never heard of such a name, and such a word never existed in Hindi or in any other Indian language. The name Ghajini is the name of the villain of the film. In Tamil version, the name of the villain was Laxman. As a Tamil moviegoer, I have already watched Ghajini and know the story in full. So, What Does the Title Mean? In Tamil, the title of the film is inspired by the story of Mahmud of Ghazni , an ancient invader of India. This person was so persistent in invading India that he continued trying after several failures. In the film too, the protagonist is such persistent in finding out and killing the villain of the film, who had killed his girlfriend, Kalpana (played by Asin). Aamir's Character (named Sanjay Ramaswamy in Tamil), is a short-term amnesiac , who cannot remember anything more than fifteen minutes. You may ask then how the Ghazni becam...
