In one of my previous posts, I said I will review Infolinks, so here it is. It provides in-line text advertising, it means that it will scan your website/blog with keywords and then place ads on them, the keywords will be underlined and when
a user moves his/her mouse pointer over the underlined keyword it will open a small window with an ad for the corresponding keyword. Infolinks is the most reputed in-line text advertising program out in the market  presently. Its combination with AdSense will give you remarkable results and earnings. In-line text ads are very good because they don’t take up any ad spaces and don’t make your website/blog look cheap.

 Infolinks has started some new ad formats which are:

Related tags, as the name says, shows other tags that relate to the tags currently on your site.Tag clouds, are a bit like related tags, only showing tags related to your site but in a interesting format, with some tags written in large and some written in small fonts. There are a few color presets available for tag clouds too.

Search widget, when an internet user visits your website/blog through a search engine, then the search widget only shows ads relevant to the search the user made.

Infolinks has been getting a lot of good feedback from its users so, I think this is a safe as well as good choice.

If you have read my previous post, you would know that I got my AdSense account banned. Now I’m looking for programs alternative to AdSense.

Right now, there isn’t any program that
can beat AdSense, but there is one that is a bit near and it is Chitika. Chitika is good if your website traffic comes from UK, USA or Canada but if you live in some Asian country, then it’s not gonna work good for you. Another downside is that Chitika ads only show when someone visits your site from a search engine i.e if someone puts the link of your website directly from his/her web browser then he/she isn’t going to see any ads.

AdBrite would be the best AdSense alternative for me as it’s ad quality is really good, they pay good and their ads are relevant to the niche of the site, but sadly, I can’t use it as AdBrite doesn’t work on blogs anymore along with any other type of free web service. If someone has a good website and has got his/her AdSense account disabled, then this is the first place you should go.

BidVertiser not as good as the above mentioned but they do provide some high paying ads such as Slider ads. Ad quality are a bit on the downside but it’s okay. I suggest you try bidvertiser as well.

Update:
After doing a little more research I found Infolinks it pays good and is good for publishers that have traffic from Asia, America and most of Europe I just applied for it and I hope it turns out well. If it does I’ll post a review for it.

Goojje Chinese search engine

Say hello to Goojje, a Chinese search engine that looks remarkably
like one we’ve seen before. It launched on January 14, and yes, it’s
filtered for less flavour.

The way the name works is this: Jie Jie (Goojje) is mandarin for
sister, while “ge ge” (Google) means big brother (er, shouldn’t that be
the other way round?) The Web Monster (ie, the

Youtube Partnership Program won’t be coming to Pakistan soon because of many reasons which YouTube will never tell you. Some of the reasons that I know are:


1) Our copyright laws are very flawed. For in depth look search “Pakistan copyright law” on a search engine.
2) YouTube has to sort many legal issues (if there are any).

At least there are other ways you can earn money online in Pakistan, which are. You can make a website, but it has to be a decent one, that means you have to have a good amount of content in it and it should have a proper domain like, www.youtube.com not a sub domain. Another great way which most people prefer is blogging. You can make free blogs on websites like blogger.com (which is also the most popular) and many others.

For now we can only hope that YouTube could expand its partnership program to Pakistan, but till then, I suggest you should try out blogging.

• 5 SEO Tactics New Websites Can Use Right Away

As some of you may know, this tech blog and my personal blog are both powered by WordPress software. What follows is a complete list of WordPress plugins that work behind the scenes to add new functionality to these sites that’s otherwise not available in the vanilla version of WordPress.org.

These are all free and open-source plugins and you can find them in the WordPress plugin repository.

The Best WordPress Plugins for your Website

1. Search Regex – This adds extremely powerful search and replace capabilities to your blog. You can find and replace almost any kind of data stored on your WordPress site including post titles, excerpts, comments, and meta data. It even supports regular expressions.

2. Redirection – If the URL of an existing post has changed or if an external site is linking to a non-existent page on my site, I can create redirection rules and automatically forward all the incoming traffic to the right pages.

3. Bing 404 – If someone lands on a 404 page for which redirection is not yet enabled, this plug-in will display links to relevant article on the error page. For example, a 404 page like labnol.org/googledocs will have links to my Google Docs articles.

4. WordPress SEO – This is probably the only SEO plugin you need for your WordPress blog. It helps you create better titles, you can block duplicate pages (like archive pages) from search bots, and it also adds the necessary meta tags required for more search-friendly Google snippets.

5. Hyper Cache – This is a caching plug-in for WordPress that will help reduce the load on your web server by saving pages as static HTML files. WP Total Cache is another popular caching plugin though I prefer Hyper Cache for its simplicity.

6. FB Open Graph – This plugin will insert the necessary Open Graph meta tags to your blog’s header so that you blog posts look good and have the right snippets when they are shared on Facebook or Google Plus.

7. 404 Email Notifier – This sends you an email notification as soon as a visitor lands on a 404 page on your WordPress website. The email messages have details about the visitor’s IP address, what browser they are using and the referral URL that led him to that broken link.

8. SlideShare – This helps you easily embed SlideShare presentations in blog posts with the help of short codes – see samples.

9. Smart YouTube – This lets you embed YouTube videos in blog posts using standing video URLs and the embedded player can be customized. It adds a thumbnail of the embedded video in the RSS feed and the same plug-in can also be used to embed videos from Facebook and Vimeo.

10. YARRP – The related posts plug-in adds links to old stories that may be contextually related to the content of the current story. It also helps expose your archived content to search bots.

11. WP Optimize – Use the WP Optimize plugin to clean-up your WordPress database tables. It can remove post revisions, trash spam comments and also optimize your MySQL tables so that it works more efficiently and also consumes less space.

12. WP-DBManager – This plugin will help you backup your WordPress database manually or you can set up a scheduled job for automatic backup and the database files will be sent to your email address at set intervals. Advanced users can use WP-DBManager to run SQL queries against their WordPress database without the phpMyAdmin tool. There are other plugins that can save backups to Amazon S3 and Dropbox.

13. Debug Queries – Is your blog slow? Use the Debug Queries plugin plugin to determine which MySQL queries are taking more time to execute and thus slowing down the blog. Debug Bar is another related plugin org that shows PHP warnings, queries and other helpful debugging information in the WordPress admin bar.

14. Auto Post Thumbnail – WordPress added support for Post Thumbnail Images in WordPress 2.9 but if you have been using WordPress for long, thumbnails may not be associated with your old posts. Use the Auto Post thumbnail plugin to automatically generate thumbnails for such posts using the first image found in the post content.

15. Regenerate Thumbnails – When you change the default size (height and width) of post thumbnails (or featured images) on your blog, you can use this plugin to regenerate thumbnails with the new dimensions.

16. Google XML Sitemaps – Since you want Google and other search engines to know about each and every page of your WordPress website, you need an XML sitemap and this plug-in lets you generate one in a click.

17. XML Video Sitemap – The plugin generates an XML Sitemap for your WordPress blog with all the YouTube videos that are embedded in your blog posts. I am also using XML Sitemap for Images and XML Sitemap for Mobile.

18. Date in a Nice Tone – This plugin offers an alternate way to display dates in your blog posts. It displays the amount of time – like “a few days ago,” or “in the last month,” or “over a year ago” – that has passed since a post or page was published.

19. SyntaxHighlighter Evolved – If you regularly embed code snippets in your WordPress blog posts, this plugin will help you highlight the syntax of the source code in different colors for more comfortable reading. Supports all popular programming languages.

20. Pubsubhubbub – This will help you beat content scrapers using Fat Pings. When you publish a blog post, it will instantly ping Google and that is a strong signal to the search engine that you are the original author.

21. WP-Associatizer – This plug-in will automatically rewrite any Amazon URLs in your posts to use your Amazon Associates ID.

22. Template Tag SC – WordPress offers numerous template tags – like wp_list_pages() or wp_tag_cloud() – that you can use in your theme files. The plugin will help you insert the sam template tags directly in your blog posts or pages using Short Codes.

23. Login Logger – This plugin logs the IP address and the exact date & time when a user logs into your WordPress dashboard. It also keeps track of any unsuccessful login attempts. Use this plugin in combination with Limit Login Attempts to automatically lock out users after they have made ‘n’ unsuccessful login attempts.

24. CF Shortcode – This helps you insert custom fields inside your WordPress posts using the visual editor. This comes extremely handy when you want to add custom JavaScript inside your WordPress posts.

25. Advanced Excerpt – The post excerpts in WordPress are fixed at 55 words and often displayed with [...] ellipsis at the end. This plugin lets you to specify a custom length of excerpts, you can get rid of the ellipsis and the excerpts can be configured to have full sentences so that there are no weird cuts.

WordPress Plugins – Retired but Useful

The first version of this list was published in 2010 and since then, I have removed or deactivated a few WordPress plugins. Here’s why:

1. WordPress.com Stats – I am using Google Analytics to track site stats and therefore it doesn’t make sense to have another tracking program for the same goal.

2. Akismet – The comments on this site are powered by Disqus and they seem to offer decent spam protection on their own.

3. WordPress PDA – This plugin helped serve the mobile version of this site based on their browser’s user agent. Digital Inspiration now uses a responsive design and thus the same site is served to both desktop and mobile users.

4. WP-Paginate – The paginate plugin provide better navigation and also helps search engines find and crawl deep content on your site. The new design of this site has pagination built-in and therefore this plugin is no longer necessary.

HTC Radar is the latest Windows Phone device released by HTC and recently launched by Mobilink; it runs the latest version of Windows Phone OS available, Mango. Lets take a look on it before proceeding with the review:

HTC radar has a very corporate touch to it while at the same time also being remarkably user friendly for any purpose. It has a metal body which gives a nice elegant feel to the fingers. Unlike some other phones, the metal feel to it does not affect the phones weight at all. At 137g it is very light and easy to handle at all times. The metal feel on Radar also gives a good grip when held in hands.

Next thing to consider is its size. With dimensions of (120.5mm x 61.5mm x 10.9mm) it looks really classy and it is very easy to get a grip on. It’s not that long and it’s not thick at all hence making it a very fun phone to deal with because it also has a little bend on the bottom side of it where you can see the compulsory 3 Window phone buttons.

At the back we can see the 5MP camera and the LED flash light along with the speaker that gives crystal clear sound. On the top there is a headphone jack along with the power button too. There are Volume and camera buttons on the right, microUSB/ charging slot on the left of the phone. Unlike many other HTC phones, HTC radar has no option of adding a memory card because there is inbuilt 8GB memory inside the phone.

All in all, this looks to be a very good phone and even though it might not attract people who want their interests in one screen (because it is a Windows phone) this is basically more of a corporate phone. It surely oozes class and user friendliness and for people who would like to buy it. I give it a 7/10. The only drawbacks are for those who don’t like Windows phones. It is like every HTC phone in the sense that it is extremely fast and has a great touch that responds well to every need of yours.

Design and Build

The HTC Radar comes with traditional HTC unibody, its metallic body with smooth plastic at bottom and top of its back makes it look elegant and smart. It has 3.8 inches S-LCD 480×800 pixel (WVGA) capacitive touch screen with nice sunlight legibility and reasonably bright colors but comparatively low pixel density i.e. (~246 PPI). It has a secondary VGA camera on its face placed above its touch screen and 5MP camera is at its back with LED flash, speaker is next to camera. The 3 traditional windows phone capacitive keys i.e. Back, Home and Search are well spaced and place at bottom. At right side of HTC Radar there is a volume control and camera button, camera can be directly activated from locked screen by long pressing camera button. On left side microUSB is found which may create problem for left handed people using the phone while charging. 3.5mm jack is on top with power button. Its bottom has a removable cover which allows inserting only SIM card, the memory card slot is missing as 8GB internal memory is available. The battery is not user-replaceable, which we see as a disadvantage but having a non-replaceable battery adds to the slimness of the phone. It has a powerful 1GHz Scorpion processor and Adreno 205 GPU.

The Windows Phone tastes Mango

The HTC Radar comes with Microsoft Windows Phone 7.5 (mango) operating system with HTC green tiles and black background. Its user interface is smooth with live tiles which display information, different shortcuts and allow direct access to selected softwares, these tiles can be easily edited and personalized. The way of information displayed on the tiles is improved, you can view social network update of you friends on a Group tile, picture tile displays animated slideshow of pictures and you can search applications by just typing their name in application list. The lock screen unlocks by swipe and its background can be easily changed.

Windows Phone till now do not allows you to manage your files & folders and even do not allow transferring them via blue tooth, the app store is smaller than android app store which makes less applications available to users. You can use feature of multitasking which allow you to access last used 5 to 6 apps but the older apps need to be re-launched for use, you can turn off this function from settings to save battery.

Windows Phone Mango update supports voice recognition which enables the users to dictate a text message or to listen any received message and you can even instruct the mobile to initiate a search in search engine by voice command.

The Mango update gives a great social networking experience; it provides better and faster synchronization. Call, text messages, email, Facebook wall, and Twitter mentions all appear when you open a contact. You can also get access to online pictures and galleries from social networks easily. You can make contact groups and pin then on your home screen as a live tile. You can pool your e-mail from your all e-mail accounts in your Window phone, what you need to do is to connect all your accounts to you HCT Radar.

Microsoft Office Support

As HTC Radar is a windows phone Microsoft office integration is a key function of this smart phone. The Mango update enables the users to sync documents between PC and windows phone using SkyDrive which provides 25GB free storage capacity. The main Office hub has the categories i.e. Documents, Location and Notes. With Microsoft office it is easier to create, edit and share several important documents but you can’t share them via Bluetooth or by e-mail editor, documents can only be shared using the Office hub. OneNote is a useful and comprehensive note taking tool which allows to perform several useful tasks, it can be used as a to-do list and you can pin it on the main screen.

To give a HTC touch The HTC Radar has some interesting HTC apps like Notes, Lists, Calculator, Converter etc .

Media and Connectivity

The Xbox Live is a gaming hub, it has many feature similar to x box. The spot light feature enables you to see the requests and game invites from your friends. Xbox live do not support all the games, there is a separate section for the games supported by the Xbox Live. HTC Radar’s 1GHz processor is powerful enough to play high quality graphic games like Need for Speed, Kinectimals and Angry birds.

In the windows phone Mango update there’s a new People tab which helps to browse pictures of your contacts and groups in the Picture hub. Previously last viewed picture automatically appeared at the background of the hub, now u can set a single picture or a set of pictures to be used as background picture which give more personalized look to the Picture hub. In new update picture editing apps are synchronized with the Picture hub which enables to edit and to add effects to the pictures direct from the Picture hub. You can share videos and pictures via e-mail, messaging, Facebook or Sky Drive. The HTC Radar does not support DivX or XviD video formats. Even a single video, song, radio channel can be pinned as a live tile on home screen.

The HTC Radar’s 5MP autofocus camera has a wide-angle lens which helps to capture wider images and back-side illuminated sensor which enhances camera performance in dim light. The secondary front camera is VGA which is placed above the touch screen for video chat. The camera app has several settings to create effects on a picture. Amazingly the camera can be directly accessed from the lock screen by long pressing the thin camera key. Its video results were not at all impressive in terms of colours, smoothness, details and overall quality. Its camera performance is not 2x better than HTC HD7 (as asserted by officials in the HTC Radar meet up), lets see a few images taken fom HTC Radar and HTC HD7 for comparison:

Pics taken from Radar:

Pics taken from HD7:

The HTC Radar supports quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE and dual-band 3G with HSPA. It has standard Wi-Fi (with hotspot) and Bluetooth connectivity, but Bluetooth is with limited use as you can’t transfer files. The only ways to transfer files is by connecting to PC using Zune app or to sync with SkyDrive. The latest version of Internet Explorer is 7.5 which is available in HTC Radar.

The Bing search helps to search you market apps and other stuff, now it can perform two new functions i.e. it can work as bar code reader and song recognizer which were previously performed by different apps. The Bing map is a useful app which offers many helpful functions to help in navigation but for Pakistan its map support is extremely poor

Calling and Texting

The phonebook is now replaced by People hub and instead of contacts term Profiles is used in WP 7.5. The profile contains all updates and data from all social networks and email addresses of that contact. Contacts are arranged alphabetically and you can pick contacts by searching them by first alphabet of their name, a list of all profiles with names starting with the selected alphabet will appear.

The HTC Radar has an excellent and loud call quality and a good call reception. The live tile and the lock screen displays only the number of miss calls, the details off calls can be viewed in call history. It has a voice dialing option but it cannot differentiate between two people with same names but different sir names. You can download ringtones from market but unfortunately you can’t set a song or ring tone from your audio collection. It has good quality loud speaker with fairly high volume.

The HTC Radar provides you with a wonderful messaging experience. There are material changes in the messaging in the latest Mango update. Threads of text messaging, Facebook messaging and (WLM) Windows LiveMmessenger are combined. Messaging is now divided in two heads i.e. threads (offline) and online (friend available online) which makse messaging and online chatting easier. You can forward, edit, copy and paste the messages, you can’t send any attachment in Facebook chat in messaging, for this purpose MMS is used. The HTC Radar uses the standard Windows Phone QWERTY key board which we found comfortable to use, it has sound feedback but no haptic vibration feedback.

Final Words

Relevant links is one of the most heard concepts in link building. Online marketing aficionados will no doubt have heard it at least multiple times during their career, especially when they have just started out grasping the basic concepts of search engine optimization. A simple glance at any SEO forum can prove that as users engage in hot debates about how it is always only about relevancy links and about how you should always focus on obtaining links from 100% related websites. Otherwise, those links you just obtained will be merely a huge waste of time.

Do Check: Importance of Link Building

However, the issue of relevancy in link building is largely a myth as I will demonstrate in this article. There is obviously a certain advantage in obtaining truly relevant links but to argue that “irrelevant” links are useless is farcical. A link is a link, whether it comes from a relevant website or not. If you are starting out on link building and are worried about the issue of relevant versus irrelevant links, you should thus take the time to know exactly what the debate entails.

What are Relevant Links?

A relevant link is described as one that come from a website that deals with the same subject. As a simple example, taking the concept of relevant links into consideration, you should aim to obtain links from travel websites for your own travel blog or website. Taking this relevancy even further, if your website deals with travel to Mauritius, it would then be a great idea to obtain links from websites that also deal with travel to Mauritius (which typically is not going to happen). As such, there are actually various degrees of relevancy when it comes to links.

The Argument for Relevant Links

A hotly debated link building and search engine optimization topic is that only relevant links work. This side of the argument advances the fact that search engines will disregard links that are not relevant to the topic of the linking website or give these less weight. However, while search engines are now indeed extremely complex and can understand tons of things, it is still difficult for them to actually properly deal with relevancy in most cases. This is made even harder due to the fact that it is downright impossible to take into account people’s linking behavior.

For example, someone may be running a football blog from London in the United Kingdom and wish to link to a car rental website in Spain after traveling there to watch a football match. He might be thrilled to link to this particular website for football fans who want to rent a car during their holiday in Spain. While the websites in this example have absolutely nothing in common and this is technically an irrelevant link, it is actually a completely genuine link and. Moreover, in this specific case, the link to the car rental website is a true popularity vote as there was no link building or link baiting involved.

Similarly, we need to remember that just because someone runs a kind of website, that does not mean that is all he is interested about. It is also now becoming increasingly common for websites to deal with multiple topics that often have nothing in common. In these cases, the concept of relevant links become even harder to enforce, and search engines have no foolproof ways of knowing exactly when to count and disregard links other than to look for the Nofollow tag.

Moreover, the advent of social media is disputing the relevancy theory even more as links obtained through social networks cannot be given any relevancy measure. As such, you should not waste too much time worry about relevancy when developing strategies to earn links. You should instead focus on simply earning links and making sure those links will stay. Your search engine ranking will duly rise whether or not these links come from truly relevant websites.

For instance, if you are selling a product about weight loss, then you need to get keywords that include the name of the product, some of the keywords must include the words “buy”, “purchase” and so on.
