The Best Htaccess Guide .htaccess Tutorials

2009-05-31T17:01:00.000-07:00

The Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) was initiated at the CERN in Geneve (Switzerland), where it emerged (together with the HTML presentation language) from the need to exchange scientific information on a computer network in a simple manner. The first public HTTP implementation only allowed for plain text information, and almost instantaneously became a replacement of the GOPHER service. One of the first text-based browsers was LYNX which still exists today; a graphical HTTP client appeared very quickly with the name NCSA Mosaic. Mosaic was a popular browser back in 1994. Soon the need for a more rich multimedia experience was born, and the markup language provided support for a growing multitude of media types.

The following .htaccess tricks, .htaccess tips, examples, samples, tutorials, tools, and plethora of “How To” htaccess articles on creating and using htaccess files will do several things for you, just like its done for me.

Make your website noticeably faster.
Allow you to debug your server with ease.
Make your life easier and more rewarding.
Allow you to work faster and more productively.

What Is .htaccess

.htaccess is a very ancient configuration file that controls the Web Server running your website, and is one of the most powerful configuration files you will ever come across. Htaccess is sometimes called: “HyperText Access” because of its ability to control access of the WWW’s HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) using Password Protection, Allow and Deny capabilities, and more.

Specifically, .htaccess is the default file name of a special configuration file that provides a number of directives (commands) for controlling and configuring the Apache Web Server, and also to control and configure modules that can be built into the Apache installation, or included at run-time like mod_rewrite (for htaccess rewrite), mod_alias (for htaccess redirects), and mod_ssl (for controlling SSL connections).

Htaccess allows for decentralized management of Web Server configurations which makes life very easy for web hosting companies and especially their savvy consumers. They set up and run “server farms” where many hundreds and thousands of web hosting customers are all put on the same Apache Server. This type of hosting is called “virtual hosting” and without .htaccess files would mean that every customer must use the same exact settings as everyone else on their segment. So that is why any half-decent web host allows/enables (DreamHost, Powweb, MediaTemple, GoDaddy) .htaccess files, though few people are aware of it. Let’s just say that if I was a customer on your server-farm, and .htaccess files were enabled, my websites would be a LOT faster than yours, as these configuration files allow you to fully take advantage of and utilize the resources allotted to you by your host. If even 1/10 of the sites on a server-farm took advantage of what they are paying for, the providers would go out of business.

Creating Htaccess Files

Htaccess files use the default filename “.htaccess” but any unix-style file name can be specified from the main server config using the AccessFileName directive. The file isn’t .htaccess.txt, its literally just named .htaccess.

In a Windows Environment like the one I use for work, you can change how Windows opens and views .htaccess files by modifying the Folder Options in explorer. As you can see, on my computer files ending in .htaccess are recognized as having the HTACCESS extension and are handled/opened by Adobe Dreamweaver CS4.

Htaccess Scope

Unlike the main server configuration files like httpd.conf, Htaccess files are read on every request therefore changes in these files take immediate effect. Apache searches all directories and subdirectories that are htaccess-enabled for an .htaccess file which results in performance loss due to file accesses. I’ve never noticed a performance loss but OTOH, I know how to use them. If you do have access to your main server configuration file, you should of course use that instead, and lucky for you ALL the .htaccess tricks and examples can be used there as well (just not vice versa).

Htaccess File Syntax

Htaccess files follow the same syntax as the main Apache configuration files, for powerusers here’s an apache.vim for VI. The one main difference is the context of the directive, which means whether or not that directive is ALLOWED to be used inside of an .htaccess file. Htaccess files are incredibly powerful, and can also be very dangerous as some directives allowed in the main configuration files would allow users/customers to completely bypass security/bandwidth-limits/resource-limits/file-permissions, etc.. About 1/4 of all Apache directives cannot be used inside an .htaccess file (also known as a per-directory context config). The Apache Developers are well-regarded throughout the world as being among some of the best programmers, ever. To enable a disallowed directive inside a .htaccess file would require modifying the source code and re-compiling the server (which they allow and encourage if you are the owner/admin). Here’s a taste of that famous Apache source code that builds the directives allowed in .htaccess file context, the key that tells whether its enabled in .htaccess context is the DIR_CMD_PERMS and then the OR_FILEINFO, which means a directive is enabled dependent on the AllowOverride directive that is only allowed in the main config. First Apache 1.3.0, then Apache 2.2.10

Htaccess Directives

Don’t ask why, but I personally downloaded each major/beta release of the Apache HTTPD source code from version 1.3.0 to version 2.2.10 (all 63 Apache versions!), then I configured and compiled each version for a custom HTTPD installation built from source. This allowed me to find every directive allowed in .htaccess files for each particular version, which has never been done before, or since. YES! I think that is so cool..

An .htaccess directive is basically a command that is specific to a module or builtin to the core that performs a specific task or sets a specific setting for how Apache serves your WebSite. Directives placed in Htaccess files apply to the directory they are in, and all sub-directories. Here’s the 3 top links (official Apache Docs) you will repeatedly use, bookmark/print/save them.

Main Server Config Examples

Still with me? Now lets take a look at some htaccess examples to get a feel for the syntax and some general ideas at the capabilities. Some of the best examples for .htaccess files are included with Apache for main server config files, so lets take a quick look at a couple of them on our way down to the actual .htaccess examples further down the page (this site has thousands, take your time). As you can see, the basic syntax is a line starting with # is a comment, everything else are directives followed by the directive argument.

httpd-multilang-errordoc.conf: The configuration below implements multi-language error documents through content-negotiation

Options IncludesNoExec
AddOutputFilter Includes html
AddHandler type-map var
LanguagePriority en cs de es fr it ja ko nl pl pt-br ro sv tr

ErrorDocument 403 /error/HTTP_FORBIDDEN.html.var
ErrorDocument 404 /error/HTTP_NOT_FOUND.html.var

httpd-manual.conf: Provide local access to the server documentation on your server

SetEnvIf Request_URI ^/manual/(de|en|es|fr|ja|ko|pt-br|ru|tr)/ prefer-language=$1
RedirectMatch 301 ^/manual(?:/(de|en|es|fr|ja|ko|pt-br|ru|tr)){2,}(/.*)?$ /manual/$1$2
LanguagePriority en de es fr ja ko pt-br ru tr
ForceLanguagePriority Prefer Fallback

httpd-languages.conf: Settings for hosting different languages.

DefaultLanguage en
AddLanguage ca .ca
# Just list the languages in decreasing order of preference.
LanguagePriority en ca cs da de el eo es et fr he hr it ja ko ltz nl nn no pl pt pt-BR ru sv tr zh-CN zh-TW
# Commonly used filename extensions to character sets.
AddCharset us-ascii.ascii .us-ascii
AddCharset ISO-8859-1  .iso8859-1  .latin1

httpd-autoindex.conf: Directives controlling the display of server-generated directory listings.

# IndexOptions: Controls the appearance of server-generated directory listings.
IndexOptions FancyIndexing HTMLTable VersionSort
# AddIcon* directives tell the server which icon to show for different files or filename extensions.
AddIconByEncoding (CMP,/icons/compressed.gif) x-compress x-gzip
AddIconByType (TXT,/icons/text.gif) text/*
AddIcon /icons/folder.gif ^^DIRECTORY^^
# DefaultIcon is which icon to show for files which do not have an icon explicitly set.
DefaultIcon /icons/unknown.gif
# AddDescription allows you to place a short description after a file in server-generated indexes.
AddDescription "GZIP compressed document" .gz
# ReadmeName is the name of the README file the server will look for by default, and append to directory listings.
ReadmeName README.html
# HeaderName is the name of a file which should be prepended to directory indexes.
HeaderName HEADER.html

Here are the rest of them if you wanna take a look. (httpd-mpm.conf, httpd-default.conf, httpd-ssl.conf, httpd-info.conf, httpd-vhosts.conf, httpd-dav.conf)

Example .htaccess Files

Advanced Mod_Rewrite Examples

Here are some specific examples taken mostly from my WordPress Password Protection plugin, that also does alot more than password protection as you can see from the following mod_rewrite examples.

Map all URIs except those corresponding to existing files to a handler

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_URI} !-d
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_URI} !-f
RewriteRule . /script.php

Map any request to a handler

In the case where all URIs should be sent to the same place (including potentially requests for static content) the method to use depends on the type of the handler. For php scripts, use:
For other handlers such as php scripts, use:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !=/script.php
RewriteRule .* /script.php

And for CGI scripts:

ScriptAliasMatch .* /var/www/script.cgi

Map URIs corresponding to existing files to a handler instead

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_URI} -d [OR]
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_URI} -f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !=/script.php
RewriteRule .* /script.php

If the existing files you wish to have handled by your script have a common set of file extensions distinct from that of the hander, you can bypass mod_rewrite and use instead mod_actions. Let’s say you want all .html and .tpl files to be dealt with by your script:

Action foo-action /script.php
AddHandler foo-action html tpl

Deny access if var=val contains the string foo.

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} foo
RewriteRule ^/url - [F]

Removing the Query String

RewriteRule ^/url /url?

Adding to the Query String

Keep the existing query string using the Query String Append flag, but add var=val to the end.

RewriteRule ^/url /url?var=val [QSA]

Rewriting For Certain Query Strings

Rewrite URLs like http://askapache.com/url1?var=val to http://askapache.com/url2?var=val but don’t rewrite if val isn’t present.

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} val
RewriteRule ^/url1 /url2

Modifying the Query String

Change any single instance of val in the query string to other_val when accessing /path. Note that %1 and %2 are back-references to the matched part of the regular expression in the previous RewriteCond.

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.*)val(.*)$
RewriteRule /path /path?%1other_val%2

16) Control.Tabs- Unobtrusive CSS tabs for Prototype.js

17) Zapatec Ajax Tabs- This demo uses the Zapatec AJAX Transport layer to transfer the tab contents dynamically.

Ajax Tab Generators

18) 15daysofjquery- jQuery Tabs A simple form that you can use to generate the markup for the tabs.

Advanced Tab Techniques

19) Advanced Tabs This TabPanel is built entirely with javascript and demonstrates: Auto tab resizing, Tab scrolling, Tabs with icons, Tab plugins (context menu), Adding tabs with JS.

20) Floating window with tabs This script is based on simple ordinary div tags. This makes it very easy to set up. Put in your HTML content and call a javascript function to initialize the window.

21) AJAX Tabs (Rails redux) The Concept here is using Ajax to load information that does not need to be retrieved every time the user pulls the record.

22) Ajax Tabs Reloaded User can add or remove tabs (and content) without refreshing the page.

23) JQuery Nested Tab

CSS Only Tabs

24) Cross browser tabbed pages with embeded links NO javascript - just CSS - and it validates. Just hover over the tabs to display a page of text with a picture and embeded links. A working scroll bar is added for each page as required.

How To Reach Top Pages on Google

2009-04-10T05:09:00.000-07:00

For years, it has continued enormously famed so Google's search engine algorithm is driven by the monkey and top notch of links pointing to a some URL. And as a result, it was all the rage for selected little bit to buy links on web web sites the present had a astronomical Google PageRank (PR).

But in March of 2007, Google's mouthpiece Matt Cutts raised the present Google was ready to war returning against Paid Links. Google put a try every where in the bow of various online marketers, permitting for them understand overly the days of merely purchasing links based on information from extreme PageRank webpages in circumstances to affect a website's ranking in Google got over.

The Shot Heard Around The World

With Matt Cutts declaration, a country broad of online resellers set about to cry foul. It was declared too "They won't do that!"

But the fact was and is the the Google Search Algorithm is Google's intellectual property, and therefore, Google can do everything properties need in the algorithms - no issue who folks fluxes can lower or help.

By the end of the Summer of 2007, the everybody crying foul had quieted lowered a bit and got going back to the economy of endeavoring to earn new ways to manipulate such a website's rankings inside of the Google searching the web results. That is the way it has presistently carried on and repeatedly am able to be.

The summer of 2007 was just recently this type of an oddity... For me, it has frequently been heard impressive to problem the aptitude at Google to get my websites to rate favorably through Google's searching algorithms. But for a couple of reason, at this time in time, multi of people who seized the top rankings in Google have had to deal with as if it was such a God-given affirmative to be at the top of Google's searching the web results, and how dare Google oppose God's decree in now matter.

Yep, I understand I am likely to catch flak for who statement - comparing a few advetisers to religious zealots - but this is how I roll sometimes.

For me, Matt Cutts was telling consumers to supervised harsher to in fact "earn" how properties undergo been heard given. For me, it was a chances to re-dedicate personally to the job of ranking enormously in Google for competitory keywords. I did not experience to tweak everything I was now doing, due to the fact that I undergo never gained a single ranking in Google by paying for for a link out of any web page. (wink)

Google's Search Engineers Are Not Foolish
Matt Cutts has alleged tiny bit and yet again so Google performs not seek to attack any difficulty in the searching algorithms by manually deleting any participant in the Google search engine ranking game.

Instead, Google in any circumstances wants to application a answer to address a exact bad practice.

I expect it ought to be more effortless for me to know ever since I am moreover a computer programmer. It is a hobby I in reality enjoy, and I exercise my mind provided computer programming anytime I fancy to gain my own websites or to create a new website. I stay my brain fine by solving issues in computer code.

So, whenever I see Google taking moves in one channel or another, I try to visualize how I might handle the algorithm questions in computer code.

In my mind, solving the paid out links problem was a super-easy solution. Just appear at the webpages linking to a selected website, and when that happens do a cross-comparison of the PageRank of all of people linking pages. If all of the webpages linking to a select URL hold a PageRank of Four or higher, afterward odds are so folks links got artificially created, during particularlly sort of paid out linking system.

Let me explain currently in an example, at which all of the sample web webpages hold 100 inbound links each:

If Site A has all of its 100 links on web sites overly undergo a PageRank of 4 or higher, consequently so is unnatural and therefore suspect.

If Site B has all of its 100 links on webpages so own a PageRank of 0, at that time individuals links provide no prices to the Internet area as a whole, and therefore Site B must not kept in mind as a unique search engine result.

If Site C has a mix of PageRank 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 links, consequently too is a large amount of inherent in its piece of real estate and it moreover suggests the a couple of of the links are contemplated to experience costs in the Internet area as a whole. Therefore, Site C has provided evidence itself the best above Site A and Site B in Google's searching results.

This model will establish in no dangerous terms how easy it was for Google to correctly address the question of brought in links and to put a avert to everybody making the most of brought in links to manipulate this websites' ranking in Google's searching algorithms.

Awoid dublicate contents in your site or blogs

2009-03-25T11:50:00.000-07:00

In one of my modern posts I wrote nearly the duplicate content issue. This topic is very critical to me ever since my blog uses the WordPress content management technique which, when used up amidst the default configuration, is not duplicate content proof. In thing that CMS is fit to render basically 100% of your content duplicate. As conventional the fault of the method has foundations in its advantages. WordPress has numerous portions facilitating blogging and linking, this as RSS feeds to posts and comments, trackback URLs, monthly archives and so on. In the same age right now variety of URLs coming back similar or identical web sites represents a simple state of affairs of duplicate content.

WordPress And Duplicate Content
The principally evidences of duplicate content came up with by your WordPress CMS can be discovered in your sidebar. They are category webpages and monthly/daily archives. Category webpages insert your articles requested below the same topic â€“ a category. Such webpages experience no quality content; properties are just recently a cluster of your past posts. Monthly and daily archives moreover coup committe your past articles by the date of posting. Sometimes when you own merely one submit in a considering day, the archive web page for the date and your forward are utterly identical.

The then situation of duplicate content is nonetheless a good deal more prominent. It can be your structure web site itself. If it contains not excerpts but the complete text of your posts, next it duplicates your produce pages. This moreover applies to the â€˜next/previous entriesâ€™ web sites â€“ persons on hand via /page/2, /3, /4 etc.

Feeds. Search engine spiders crawl all the content properties can make contact with and of lesson this moment includes RSS feeds too. The surplus quandary provided them is overly Google may decide on to screen your RSS URL in the search engine consequences more than the link to the earliest post. In right now circumstances the user who clicks the present result is able to see an XML formatted web page that is not â€˜human-friendlyâ€™.

Trackback URLs. Many WordPress templates add trackback links subsequent to posts. This links enable authors to track who links to such a posts. Usually, if your forward URL appears fancy â€˜www.yoursite.com/2006-11-30/yourpost/â€™ its trackback URL is planning to be â€˜www.yoursite.com/2006-11-30/yourpost/trackback/â€™.

Identical meta-description. By default WordPress doesnâ€™t offer a service to add unusual meta description tags to your posts, and properties either experience none or share a single site-wide description. Having no meta description at all is a disadvantage, as a correctly written one can compose your snippet stand out in a SERP. Having an identical description for all your web sites is a threat, as Google may get them filtered out as too similar. (see a thread here)

Because of the duplicate content Google search engine can send back ebbed decent URLs (such as feeds or archives alternatively of first posts); your web sites can be moved out of the index, or placed to the supplemental results, that are rarely displayed to users.

Solving the Duplicate Content Issue in WordPress
Adding â€˜noindex, followâ€™ tags

What can you do to get out of the current problem? You can inform the search engine engines how URL to index by utilizing â€˜noindex, followâ€™ meta tag, robots.txt exclusions or 301 redirects. Letâ€™s say you ask for Google to index your front page, posts, single webpages and category web sites and forbid the spiders according to crawling the content of archives, feeds and â€˜next entriesâ€™ webpages - page/2, /3, â€¦ To do the present you hold to add to your header.php the coming code:

CODE:

if((is_home() && ($paged < name="robots" content="index,follow">';
} else {
echo '<meta name="robots" content="noindex,follow" />';}

For persons not familiar in editing templates in WordPress: in your dashboard click Presentation menu item and once the new web page is opened â€“ click Theme Editor. In the Theme Editor select â€˜header.phpâ€™ and when that happens paste the above code to the editor form. This code has to be inserted anywhere between Hello How Are you? tags .

Here the tag is added to the residence web page but not the â€˜next entriesâ€™ web site (is_home() and ($paged<2)),>Redirect to a canonical URL

You provided edit your .htaccess file to perform 301 redirects. Non-www addresses covet yoursite.com when be redirected to www.yoursite.com. URL without trailing slashes similar to www.yoursite.com/category providing be rewritten to list it: www.yoursite.com/category/ This can be finished by adding the ensuing code to your .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.yoursite\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.yoursite.com/$1 [R,L]
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

For more details I advise you to read this: the process or rewriting the URL layout.
Preventing spiders from crawling feeds and auxiliary pages

For this purpose you should edit your robots.txt file by inserting the following code

User-agent: *
Disallow: /wp-
Disallow: /search
Disallow: /feed
Disallow: /comments/feed
Disallow: /feed/$
Disallow: /*/feed/$
Disallow: /*/feed/rss/$
Disallow: /*/trackback/$
Disallow: /*/*/feed/$
Disallow: /*/*/feed/rss/$
Disallow: /*/*/trackback/$
Disallow: /*/*/*/feed/$
Disallow: /*/*/*/feed/rss/$
Disallow: /*/*/*/trackback/$

Another two practical tips

Some shoppers forward it useful to restrict the lot of posts displayed in your house web site to 4-5, as lower posts are duplicated.

To Sum Up:

* To preclude the duplicate content trouble in WordPress key in you may do:

* Ensure which all your web sites suffer strange meta-description tags
* Set up 301 redirects for your non-www URL and URLs without trailing slashes
* Restrict searching the web engine crawlers for indexing your feeds and trackbacks
* Use additional tag to establish excerpts in your residential structure web page in its place of extensive posts

WHAT IS DOFOLLOW & HOW TO FIND DOFOLLOW BLOGS FORUMS & LINKS

2009-03-21T07:33:00.000-07:00

nofollow is an HTML concept continuance utilised to apprize some wager engines that a hyperlink should not impact the unification target's senior in the wager engine's index. It is witting to invoke the power of destined types of wager engine spam, thereby rising the calibre of wager engine results and preventing spamdexing from occurring.

Nofollow attach is an automatic attach on every journal today and nearly on every sites likewise that accepts individual suasion as comments or via temporary book. So what is this attach and what's its purpose?

According To Wikipedia (Yeah wikipedia knows SEO too)

«nofollow is a non-standard HTML concept continuance utilised to apprize wager engines that a hyperlink should not impact the unification target's senior in the wager engine's index.»

According To Google

«When Google sees the concept (rel=»nofollow») on hyperlinks, those instruction won't intend some assign when we surpass websites in our wager results.»

nofollow attach countenance aforementioned this

Many webmaster and SEO's conceive the wikipedia and Google definition for nofollow attach that is nofollow attach personalty a place senior in Google Search Results. In some seo and webmaster forums we hit seen a aggregation of speech on this issue, which ever termination in digit conclusion. One is of instruction according to google saucer of view, that nofollow gist senior position. But there is also some SEO who conceive in somethin else. According to them NOFOLLOW exclusive personalty pagerank of a webpage and not ranking.

According to those SEO's

«The newborn nofollow unification attach is questionable to wage webmasters with the possibleness to add a unification to their website without unseaworthy PageRank to the tender they are linking to.»

According to PageRank Theory

All instruction on a tender which hit some tender surpass got equally separated conception of that pagerank to them too. This phenomena also famous as Page Rank Dilution.

For warning If a tender has 4 tender rank. And it contains 10 instruction on it of another websites than these 10 instruction intend equally cypher Page Rank Love from that page. This module process the tender surpass points of those 10 pages, hit their instruction on that page.

So what is the reality? Which theory is genuine and which digit is false?

And yes! you haw not conceive it but 2nd theory is true.

It has been experimented by ME (OK I am not gift you some azygos discourse of those experiments for the manifest reason, but distribution with you the proven result. So ease I am good) and some another SEO'z likewise that unification with nofollow attach doesn't change a scheme tender ranking. In fact it haw calculate as a connatural unification and endeavor its persona in enhancing your senior as sort of instruction increases.

And since nobody lovesome a shit most Page Rank today life eliminate Google itself, so these nofollow tags are pretty USELESS. For prove, you crapper dissect backlinks of some sites on 1st tender of google and astonished to encounter that some of them hit their instruction from blogs using nofollow tag. May be you can't wager them for highly targeted keywords but advert Google is operation discover termination manually for those keywords. Giving you a lowercase ordinary significance suggestion that if a tender has 5 tender surpass with 100 instruction pointing to it from another blogs and you hit a nofollow unification of your website on that page, what do you conceive your unification worth? Or lets hit a recreation experiment...Find an .edu journal and interpret on some place of it. In NAME country place your keyword or exclusive place your scheme tender url in comment. Since every blogs hit nofollow tags installed automatically, so your this unification is a nofollow link. After some life you crapper wager this unification as your edu backlink and an process in your website authority.

So I am not advising you to do email blogs via comments, but to pass you that nofollow attach is exclusive a myth and it doesn't negatively gist your senior or its exclusive a myth that a unification with nofollow attach hit no benefit.

DoFollow Blogs – How To Find Them?

We hit talked most how to attain journal comments and physique instruction at the aforementioned instance for more reciprocation and income in the early place but I conceive it's meet not rank without informing you how to encounter the precise blogs to yield your journal comments.

Okay, provide a Negro a seek and verify him for a period or inform a Negro to seek and verify him for life! Well, I'm feat to do meet both for you.

Finding a journal to interpret upon is a contest and uncovering a journal with dofollow enabled is modify more challenging. But we every undergo that the benefits of the dofollow right? So, it's instance worth spends exclusive because comments that you mitt at dofollow blogs calculate towards your journal PR.

But we are feat beyond the backlink goodness here. We are also stabbing in the reciprocation that these comments are feat to provide us. So, here are your seek / fishes:

(Note: Don't intend laboring hunting at them first. I undergo it's tempting! But my determine is to inform how to fish. So, don't go anywhere before you closing datum this rank journal post!)

And some dofollow directory to wager and also to accede your journal if it was a dofollow to intend more reciprocation to your blog: (Stay with me, meet don't utter at them prototypal dirt you closing datum the full thing)

And….some dofollow wager engines for cushy wager too:

(Hold on. Stay with me prototypal and don't intend allured by these instruction yet. There are more to learn)

There is a difficulty ease with these kinds of listings. What? Well, I came crossways a some blogs from organisation aforementioned this that was not dofollow. Don't be surprised. It's meet not cushy to reassert a decent list. This is meet ground I desired to inform you how to fish.

Okay, the rattling prototypal abstract that you requirement to wager is how to blot a dofollow blog. There are 2 structure of doing it:

Looking at the maker cipher of the journal – This is feat to be wearying if you were to analyse on the maker cipher of apiece journal that you wanna yield a comment. Anyway, this is how you're gonna do it. If you're using Firefox (which you should!), utter on the «View» journalism and holograph to utter on the «View Source» and you'll be presented with something aforementioned this.

See, this is a nofollow blog. And the digit beneath is a dofollow journal (my journal :))

Clear? So, that's how crapper do it to analyse whether the journal that you are most to interpret on is dofollow enable. The ordinal artefact is what I'm actually doing because it saves me a aggregation of time.

You crapper establish the SEO for Firefox add on that module hilighted every instruction that are nofollow in red (you crapper ordered the colouration in the alternative but the choice is flushed for nofollow links). So, every instance that you poverty to analyse on the instruction concept of a blog, exclusive utter on the add on and every no study instruction module be hilighted (in flushed – choice setting).

There's ease digit difficulty ease with this add on. You module intend country by wager engines (temporarily) from aggregation accumulation if you ingest it likewise often. So, gratify attain trusty it's soured if you're not doing some search.

Due to this drawback, I'm using this bookmarklet institute at nfollow.com/ instead and it entireness meet fine. Look at the results of my blog:

Well, yeah! My journal is dofollow. (Don't email me!)

Okay, we're today at the most essential part. I'm feat to exhibit you 2 ultimate structure on how you crapper actually find dofollow blogs with ease. So, ingest it with cod travail and with some essay and persistency, effort broad PR backlinks and fast reciprocation with journal comments is a breeze. And substantially yeah, it outlay you nothing.

Finding Dofollow Blogs Using Comment Plugin Footprint

The prototypal method that we are feat to apply is to wager for interpret plugin footprint. Many bloggers (esp. those who are using Wordpress platform) module establish block in aforementioned CommentLuv, KeywordLuv, TopCommentators, Recent Comments etc. to encourage journal visitors to move in commenting on their blogs. So, here's how you crapper do it…

I aforementioned keywordluv plugin most because the instruction it creates are dofollow and that it allows visitors to place some fix book unification they like. The exclusive intense abstract is that it module most probable elicit email to journal owners. As you crapper wager from their site, this is what happens when grouping yield their comment:

«When your readers yield a comment, they should yield their study and keywords in the Name field, using the mass format: name@keywords.

When posts are displayed, the plugin searches for the @ character, strips it discover and moves the study to face (outside the link).»

Oopps, Sorry! I'm effort likewise far. Here's the method to do the search:
Simply ingest beneath wager progress with / without quotes on Google or Yahoo and you'll be presented with more than sufficiency dofollow blogs to interpret on. Simply change «yourniche» with your targeted niche.

«@YourKeywords yourniche»
«This place uses KeywordLuv yourniche»

For Commentluv search, here is the wager progress you crapper use. Don't block to threefold analyse if the journal is dofollow enabled, using the method described above if you're commenting for backlinks purpose.

«Enable CommentLuv yourniche»

For crowning commentators search, here are some wager progress you crapper use:

Top commenter yourniche
Top commenters yourniche
Top commentators yourniche
Top commentors yourniche

Again, assorted KeywordLuv, you'll requirement to threefold analyse if the journal is dofollow enabled. However, if you're exclusive commenting for journal traffic, then this is the hurried and cushy artefact to post blogs that are interpret enabled.

Finding Dofollow Blogs Using Google Image Search

Excited? Okay, digit more method to invoke you into a journal comments proficient for both reciprocation and backlinks. You're feat to do an ikon wager at Google for these strings:

ifollowblue.gif
ifollowgreen.gif
ifollowpink.gif
ifollowpurple.gif
ifollowltgreen.gif
ifolloworange.gif
ifollowwhite.gif

Finding Do-Follow Blogs the Easy Way

Recently, I was conversation to Gab of SEO Roi most a beatific artefact to encounter do-follow blogs, amongst the ideas presented was digit so ultimate and trenchant that we were both astonished that neither of us had intellection of it before. Using apiece method in this(including the assorted permutations in the alt book section), there are individual cardinal available; much more than are acquirable via services aforementioned CommentHunt.

Introduction
The easiest artefact to currently refer a journal that has do-follow instruction in their comments is the proximity of an ikon that says «U Comment, I Follow», aforementioned the digit represented below.

Now, the grownup with these has historically been that there's been no bicentric intimate of participants. Since it is an image, you cannot exclusive wager Google for it either, as Google cannot feature the text.

The Method
We unconcealed that a aggregation of the blogs that ingest a relatively noise «alt» text. Now, patch most wager engines themselves do not wager alt book in their accepted results, image searches are all assorted matter.
By intelligent Google Image Search (or another ikon searches) for «U Comment I Follow» (with quotes is more accurate, but without quotes gives more results), we crapper vantage a material itemize of do-follow blogs. By appending your presented keyword(like «seo»), you crapper intend more targeted blogs.
In addition, intelligent for «U Comment» or «I Follow» severally alter up a lot more results.

It's solon Accurate Than You Think
For some reason, most of the images Google returns for the above searches are not the images of the «U Comment, I Follow» project. However if you meet most of the sites listed, they actually DO hit the ikon display they're a conception of the project, Google meet doesn't convey that as the wager result. Odd, I know

Other Variations on the Method
Alt tags are not the exclusive print acquirable for this. It also uses relatively inevitable ikon names.
You crapper wager for these either using the inurl: command, or intelligent for the name itself.

ifollowblue.gif, ifollowgreen.gif, ifollowpink.gif, ifollowpurple.gif, ifollowltgreen.gif, ifolloworange.gif, ifollowwhite.gif,
ifollowmagenta.gif
ifollow.(gif/png/jpg, verify your pick)
utrackback_ifollow.gif
ifollow-red.png
inurl:ucomment
inurl:ifollow

There's a meg more, so essay and encounter them. They're worthwhile if institute within your niche. This entry is more of a counsel than a rank guide.

Wordpress Twitter Plugin ; Fresh From FriendFeed

2009-03-12T02:16:00.000-07:00

Twitter, the fastest growing social media network growing incredible with peoples who have large friend network around it, Wordpress bloggers can add twitter updates to their blogs with iamges and as they wish, where is a blog to fecth twitter search results in any niche and put them into ur blog with a plugin.

Most of us have thrown ourselves into the micro-blogging craze with a full-steam ahead mentality, and some of us have let our blogs suffer as a result. I know I’m guilty as charged.

Crafty WordPress bloggers, however, can take back their blog and keep it fresh with their activity from Twitter or FriendFeed with the new Fresh From FriendFeed and Twitter plugin. The plugin uses a “magical” formula to pull recent content from Twitter or FriendFeed, enhances it with relevant video or images, and creates a nice looking - no effort required - blog post.

It’s simple to get started, but once you install the add-on, you’ll want to tweak the features to work for you. On setup, select whether or not you want to show fresh content for FriendFeed or Twitter, enter your username (no passwords needed), select total number of posts, determine how fresh the content needs to be, and definitely select to show images from Twitpic and videos from YouTube.

Next, you’ll want to adjust a few more settings. For example, when dealing with FriendFeed, you can tell the plugin to pull content from the specific feeds you have configured, have it ignore certain services completely, and set maximum limits.

The add-on is not immediately self-explanatory, so we’ll spell a few key things you need to know. The total posts is not on a per day basis, it’s the maximum posts the plugin will add to your blog. We advise you to start slow to see what you think by including only 1 total post. If you do nothing else, “Fresh From” will automatically refresh the same post when there’s new activity.

If you want to keep a particular item you will need to edit the post within the WordPress dashboard and delete the custom Fresh From field (see image). Still have questions? Check out the FriendFeed FAQ room for help.

We really like the idea of keeping our personal blogs fresh with little to no effort, and we love that the final result includes video, images, and links back to the original entries. We hope to see a few more options included in the future, like the ability to have new items saved as drafts, but for now we’re fans and we’d love to know what you think. Will you be installing the plugin for your blog? Tell us in the comments.

All we need to do is take time and effort to get indexed shortly.

Here is the Google, Yahoo and Msn Site / Feed submission tutorials how you can add your sites to search engines quickly via webmaster tools.

Google Webmaster Area

Did you submit sitemap to search engine before? When talk about submit sitemap to search engine, most of the people out there will think about Google. How to submit sitemap to Google?

Again talk about my blogging experience, before I submit my sitemap to google.com, my daily visitor was about 50 per days, after submit sitemap, my website visitor increase to 100 for the particular month after Google come to index my website 3 time at that month.

To submit your sitemap to Google, you require to access Google webmaster tools website

Access www.google.com/webmasters/tools (Google Webmaster Tools)
Create an account, fill up all the related information
After finish create, check your email for verification link, once finish, login your account

You are require to add a site (Your website address) to Google webmaster tools, after add in your website URL, you require to make a verification either add a code to META or upload a html file to your web hosting.

Following step will need to verify your website, select your desire step, click on “verify your site”

In this case, I choose to verify my website from uploading a HTML file, after this, the system will provide you some thing like :

google4aea4c4xx4e7ba7b.html

To create this html file, Open a notepad, save file as “google4aea1c4xx9e7bb7b.html”

key in your full sitemap and click”submit sitemap”

Done, you have already submit your sitemap to Google Search Engine, Google’s bot or spider will come to crawl your sitemap shortly, it take up to few week or few month time base on Google schedule.

Tips : As my experience, no need rush to submit your sitemap (Still you can submit) if your website are very new without much content, just imagine google bot just like human, when visiting your website, without much content to index, I don think the bot will be happy and come back again in the short time… Correct me if I am wrong.

Yahoo Webmaster Area

Now, let see how to submit feed URL to Yahoo Site Explorer, Yahoo Site Explorer is a website which a bit similar to Google webmaster tools, you can submit feed URL to Yahoo Site Explorer, and let yahoo bot or spider crawl your website.

Now, 1st you need to access: Yahoo Site Explorer http://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/

Key in your URL over there and hit “Add My Site“, they will bring you to yahoo login page. You require a yahoo account over here, or use your yahoo email login ID to access.

Once access, you will see the URL you added there, you require to submit your feed URL in the yahoo site explorer. Click on the “0″ below feed

Key in your feed URL in to Yahoo Site Explorer, and submit it.

After submit the feed URL to yahoo site explorer, back to the main page, and click on the yellow button (red arrow) to verify or authenticated your website,

There are 2 option, either by uploading a verification file or by adding a META tag to your website

In this case, I will choose uploading a verification file to my website.

You are provide to download a HTML file, if you unable to download the file, just open a notepad, copy the string above (f0f59bxxxxxxxxxx), paste into the notepad and save as y_key_38xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.html

After you have this .html file, upload it into your webhosting (Under Public_html) and access http://yoururl.com/y_key_38xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.html, you will see the string display on this web page.

Once finish, click “Ready to Authenticate“, and you can take a break, Yahoo take up to 24 hours to verify your website

Well, I try to back the the Yahoo Site Explorer Page, search for my own domain, it shows

6 Page was index by Yahoo previously, and 168 back link at the moment. Base on above page, what I can see 3 out of 6 are link by other website, number 1 are link from 168 website, while 4, 5 are linked by iCalvyn.com before.

My 2 cent
Before I submit the feed to Yahoo, the bot and spider actually come my website from other website which link me. In conclusion, back link is very important to let Search Engine Bot or spider to visit your website. (correct me if I am wrong)

After check the summary, it show 0 page index yet, I have try to check the stat after few week, the number of pages and inlinks has increase.

I will continue this with working with Msn webmaster area sooner.

The Top 10 Alternatives to Google Adsense

2009-03-09T11:20:00.000-07:00

Google AdSense is the current leader in content-sensitive web-based marketing. Webmasters can place Google AdSense JavaScript code on their web pages in order to allow Google's servers to show context sensitive advertisements (Google Adwords). The left hand side of this page shows an example of a Google AdSense skyscraper displaying a text or image ad.

Google's terms and conditions are very strict such that many web publishers cannot use adsense adverts on their sites. They are either denied from joining the Google AdSense program, or in a situation that is becoming more and more common do not wish to do business with Google. A number of publishers are also finding their Adsense accounts are being disabled for reasons that are completely beyond their control. The problem is that most of the alternatives to Google's Adsense are pretty useless. Most of the good ones (such as doubleclick) are only interested in very large volume customers and so are not interested in the little guy with his blog who wants to earn a small income on the side. For this reason I have compiled my Top 10 alternatives to Google's Adsense that are ideal for the small time publisher.

If you are a advertiser then you may be interested in these best alternatives to adwords.

Has your adsense account been disabled? Then try these top 10 alternatives.

1. AdBrite
2. Clicksor
3. Bidvertiser
4. Chitika
5. AdToll
6. Exit Junction
7. Yahoo Publisher Network
8. Target Point
9. Fastclick
10. ClickThruTraffic

1) AdBrite

AdBrite, is currently one of the best alternatives there is to Google's adsense. While they do not offer the same large selection of ad formats that Clicksor and Google Adsense provide you they do offer the most commonly used ones. In addition they offer inline page links with have some great click through ratios as well as interstitial full page ads which offer an excellent way to monetize all traffic to your site not just traffic that clicks on your ads. Their payouts are also very competitive. They have more relaxed terms and conditions than Adsense and are much more accepting of smaller publishers including bloggers.

If you're a publisher, use AdBrite to set your own ad rates, and approve or reject every ad that's purchased for your site or just have AdBrite auto accept ever ad. AdBrite enables you to instantly sell ads to your visitors via a "Your Ad Here" link, in addition to selling through AdBrite's marketplace and sales team.

Revenue is typically split 75/25 in your favor. Through a small snippet of HTML placed on your site, they handle serving, scheduling, billing, customer service, and sales. About half of AdBrite's sales are generated from the marketplace and sales team, while the other half are generated from users clicking "Your Ad Here" on your website.

While AdBrite can provide publishers with more revenue and better ads than traditional ad networks such as Google AdSense, they work fine along-side them as a way for you to generate additional ad revenue by selling ads directly to your visitors -- something the other ad systems don't do. Ad Brite also lets you select your own minimum bid prices and give you the option of showing an alternative ad service such as Clicksor when bid prices fall below your minimum.

If you're using AdBrite on your website you also have the option to turn off AdBrite's "run-of-network ads" and AdBrite will only display ads that have been approved by you allowing you to prevent competitors ads being shown on your site. If you have no ads running, AdBrite will display nothing but "Your Ad Here" or your alternative ad provider.

Note, from my experiences it can take a day or so from when you signup with AdBrite and put their code on your website to actually start seeing relevant ads showing up. So if you see the message "Advertize on this site" just be patient and give it a day or so and you should start seeing relevant ads showing up.

AdBrite also accepts Blogs and Bloggers as sites so if you are fed up with other programs turning you down because their terms and conditions restrict Blogs try AdBrite.

2) Clicksor

Clicksor is one of the current leaders of the small publisher Adsense competition. They have payouts upto a market leading 85% and unlike a number of alternatives the cost per click bid values are high enough that you can earn a decent income. They are also, in my experience, much more tollerant than Google. Their terms and conditions suggest that you should only place one copy of their code on a page but as long as you only place a single pop-up or DHTML code on a page they seem happy to let you place many context sensitive ad blocks on a single site.

Clicksor also has a big advantage over a number of the lower ranked alternatives on this site in that their ads are truly context sensitive. Thus while you can provide keywords they have technology that will also show ads targeted to the content of your site. This means your visitors are exposed to ads of the same subject as they were searching for when they reached your site and thus vastly increases the click thru ratio and thus your sites earning potential. The context sensitive nature also saves you the hassle of having to specify keywords for all of your sites and decide in advance what people might be looking for.

The online stats provided by Clicksor are not perfect but they are enough for you to keep track of the trends with your site. They also allow you to add as many sites / domains as you want under a single account. You also only need the root page of your site approved. Once this is done you can place ads on all of your sub pages.

The payment schedule with Clicksor is also much better geared to the small site owner. In any pay period in which your earnings exceed $50.00 ($20.00 with PayPal), payments are made either by check or instantly through PayPal ($20.00 minimum for PayPal). Revenue totaling less that $50 (PP $20) will rolled into the following period. The pay period is based on a 15 day schedule so you can get paid much more frequently. Clicksor also do not require a Social Security (SSN) or Individual Tax Identity Number (ITIN) to join and so while this 'technically' does not help US site owners with their tax liability it does make it much easier for non US citizens to join up and start earning revenue.

Advert wise Clicksor features:

Multiple formats available including text, image and animated ads.

* Text Links
* Image Ads
* Flash Ads
* Animation Ads
* Banners
* Pop unders
* Interstitial Ads (NEW)
* Dynamic (DHTML) highlighting

Click here to visit Clicksor's website and sign up for an account to try it out. There is no obligation and no fees ever. Note, once you start adding the advert code to your site it can take up to 24 hours for Clicksor to get up to speed as it were so initially you may see some ads that don't appear to be relevant. Once their contextual engine kicks in, however, the relevance quickly improves.

3) Bidvertiser

Bidvertiser can be a useful alternative to Google and offer some intriguing ad formats including what they refer to as free design. This lets you specify the look and dimensions of your text ads. While a useful feature I have not investigated how well it works but imagine that while it sounds good on paper it could result in lower priced ads being displayed. I.e. most advertisers will probably want to keep control of the layout of their ads and so turn off support for Free design ads.

Bidvertizer pays you either in $25.00 increments by check or $10.00 increments by PayPal.

Customize the layout of your ads: BidVertiser gives you a simple point-and-click tool to help you customize the layout of the ads to fit your site's look and feel, in order to retain the high quality of your website. Bidvertizer also offers the opportunity to block unwanted ads. The reports provided by Bidvertiser are adequate but not outstanding. The only real problem is that they can be picky with who they accept into their program and can be quick to ban users whose websites show what may be perfectly valid fluctuating visitor behaviour. Click here to visit Bidvertiser's website where you can either sign up as a publisher (show peoples ads on your site) or as an advertiser (show your ads on other sites).

As an advertiser you can get $20 in free clicks by following this link: Bidvertiser Advertise and get $20 in free clicks.

4) Chitika

Chitika - The Leader in Impulse Merchandising
Chitika (pronounced CHIH-tih-ka) was founded in 2003 and is the industry's leading impulse merchandising company. Chitika was founded in May 2003 and is based in Massachusetts. Chitika (pronounced CHIH-tih-ka) helps web publishers generate revenue using innovative publisher-side advertising and merchandising solutions and services.

Chitika doesn't really stand alone as a single advertising solution but instead provides you with a way to compliment your existing advertising / publishing program with some additional Ad Units which are altogether different from the standard ad boxes, pop-unders etc that everybody else provides. Instead of displaying these 'industry standard' advert boxes with text and image ads that all look the same they instead provide active boxes that show targeted products from different manufacturers. If you run a blog for example and discuss a product you may find the chitika box showing links for this product and competitors products. If people purchase these products you get a paid a commission. This is referred to as impulse marketing in the form of Premium Ad Units (eMinimalls). Feel free to give it a try although I think the ideal use of this service would be as a compliment to another advertizers service. E.g. you could show Clicksor context sensitive ads on your site and then compliment these with Chitika's eMinimalls.

For advertisers and media buyers, Chitika is a proven channel for targeting on-line consumers and qualified buyers. For all publishers, Chitika is an easy-to-use platform for earning daily ad revenue. If you visit a site showing Chitika's ads from a search engine then the Chitika premium ad unit kicks in showing you ads that are specific to your searching - otherwise you can have it show an alternative ad provider, such as adsense, or you can just have it collapse away to show nothing.

Chitika allows you to display targeted products based on what people searched for to get to your page and you get paid for clicks. It provides a robust comparative shopping experience for your visitors. Visitors will love the interactive search code -- and it makes you money

5) AdToll

AdToll pays on a CPC basis. Their user interface is great and navigating through the user panel is both easy and pleasant. Payments are available via Cheque, Paypal, ePassporte and Wire/Bank Transfer. It is also possible to use the revenue you earn as a publisher to advertise your website further. Such integration is something that is entirely missing from Google's adsense-adwords.

The newest technology by AdToll is a Peel Away Ad technology that shows a peel on the top right hand side of a web site. When the mouse moves over the peel it opens smoothly to reveal the advert within. This new ad format allows you to make use of the lesser used, yet highly visible top corners of web sites. It is very non intrusive to the site visitor. Since it uses a small amount of space, it is efficient use of web site real estate. An additional plus is that such a new advertising format always draws curious clicks for visitors.

6) Exit Junction

Exit Junction is relatively new and, I believe, a spin off from the now defunct Revenue Pilot. While Revenue Pilot has stopped running, however, Exit Junction is going from strength to strength. Exit Junction offers a unique approach to advertising that is compatible with all the other Ad Networks included Google Adsense. The key to Exit junction is that they focus on showing ads to users as they leave your site rather than as they arrive or as they browse. This approach offers you an additional way to monetize your traffic and also capture ad revenue from those that stumble upon your site from a search engine and then immediately leave.

By adding a small piece of Exit Junction code to the header section of your site users are shown an advert as they hit the back button. For example, if a user came to your site from a Google search and then immediately hit the back button to return to that search they would be shown an Exit Junction Ad in between your page and the Google search and you get paid for this impression. The ad is directly targeted to the search term that brought the visitor to your site in the first place. Hence Exit Junction is an ideal way of complimenting your existing ad services and so increasing your sites revenue without having to switch from your current ad provider.

Exit junction also covers all countries. You get paid for all traffic exiting you site regardless of its origin.

They offer fee free payout via Check or PayPal with earnings of as little as $25 on a monthly basis.

7) Yahoo Publisher Network

Yahoo are currently playing catch up to Google and are trying to release their own context sensitive advertising service. This promises to be an excellent alternative to Google Adsense but in reality is likely to be a simple copy with the same restrictive terms and conditions as Google, including $100 minimums on payouts. The system seems to have been in beta test for several years now, perhaps explaining why Yahoo as a company is suffering. Unfortunately while you can visit their site and sign up to register for an account don't expect to actually hear back from them. They are either extremely selective or are simply not accepting new publishers and advertisers, either way they won't even bother to get back to you to let you know this and most applicants won't even receive a reply saying their application has been rejected. Thus until it goes live and it becomes clear what type of website owners Yahoo will be targeting I cannot place it any higher in this list.

Advert wise Yahoo Publisher Network will feature:

* Display ads related to the content on your site. You'll earn revenue from qualified clicks.
* Integrate other Yahoo! services into your web site, including Add to My Yahoo! (RSS), Y!Q and much more to come...
* This beta program is just the beginning. Our mission is to deliver products and services based on the needs of the publishing community.

8) TargetPoint

Targetpoint's services are particularly publisher-oriented, you have absolute control over the appearance of your ads. They provide supervision over ad content. The payouts tend to be reasonable but they can be quite choosey regarding which sites are accepted.

Advert wise Target Point provide:

* Adpoint generates content-relevant, revenue-evaluated ads.
* Exitpoint helps utilizing the full capacity web exit traffic.
* Imagepoint serves visual ads. Known to the rest of the world as Image ads.
* Underpoint serves pop-under ad windows.
* Searchpoint (beta) features enhanced search capabilities, which enhance your users� experience and generate additional profit.

Registration is free and they pay back a minimum of 60% of the total on-click revenue. Payment options include Bank checks, PayPal and Wire transfers (if eligible).

9) FastClick (Now known as ValueClick)

At first look FastClick would appear to be one of the better alternatives to Google's Adsense however, they are one of many online advertising companies that tend to favor the large customers. You'd think companies would have learnt from Google's success and accepted that the way to make money is to target both large and small. Remember Excite? They went the way of the dodo because they only targeted the top 100 companies rather than the small guys who can't afford large TV adverts and have to advertise on the Internet instead. Anyway, I digress. If you can get yourself accepted to FastClick (now called ValueClick) then you will probably be able to run some reasonably high paying adverts on your site but most small website owners will find that FastClick simply aren't interested.

Advertising wise FastClick (ValueClick) offer an industry-average 65-percent monthly payout on all advertising revenue your website generates. Fastclick pays by the 25th of the month for the previous month by check or PayPal.

Formats include:

* Text Ads
* Image Ads
* Interstitial
* Pop-Under
* InVue

10) ClickThruTraffic

Not the best alternative but if you can't get accepted by any of the above you can always try these guys. They claim that you will earn between 6 and 20 cents everytime a surfer clicks on an advertisement on your site but in reality I think you are more likely to see rates around the 0.5c to 2c range. However, feel free to try it out and see how you get on. Advert wise they offer text links, buttons and banners.
