I’m sure most of you have been frustrated to learn that your carefully constructed site or blog theme that looks absolutely perfect in the browser you use, is all askew in a different browser, or even just a different browser version.

So how can you check what your site looks like in all the various browsers and browser versions? It’s certainly not realistic to install all of them on your computer, and it would be a designer’s nightmare to keep checking a site’s layout.

Adult Blog Builder’s Quick Tip Answer: Browser Shots Just enter your site’s url and check the boxes of the browsers and versions you want to see your site in and it will generate images of how it looks in each one …it REALLY is that simple!

A tip of the hat to the Gaydemon.biz forum for today’s quick tip!

It’s funny how I’ll be surfing around the web and read about a new webmaster tool and within a day or so I see someone posting about some problem and I realize the new tool I found would be perfect to solve the problem!

Such is the case when I came across ChadKnowsLaw’s post on Just Us Webmasters about displaying 2257 information and protecting your email address from the web crawlers by making an image file and putting it online instead of typing out actual text to display the addy.

2257 statements are actually pretty simple — you need a name of a real person, a real address (not a PO box or MailBoxes Etc address) and that is about it. I suggest including an email address that routes to your real address.

HOWEVER, if you are John Smith, write J. Smith or John S or even John Smythe. The spelling does not need to be correct so long as we can figure out who the hell we are looking for.

Next, when making the box with this info, make it an image file, not a text file. A text file can be picked up by the spiders, so someone looking for John Smith will find him as a Custodian of Records if he is listed in a text file, but his name is invisible as an image file.

So, the end result should look something like this:

John S
246 Balderdash Lane
Cornholing, Hampshire h1n1

as an image file.

Now that’s excellent advice Chad! And it is all well and good if you happen to have a graphics program and can make a quick .jpg to toss onto your website, but …what if you don’t? For bloggers I came across this incredible new plugin that actually converts text to an image for you! And it’s appropriately named: Image Text

According to the developer of Image Text:  ”text can be pasted as a picture in an article or page to protect mail addresses or post addresse against automated crawlers.”

This is an older post from AskDamageX.com regarding trading with cheaters. This information is pertinent whether you’re trading amongst your tgp sites or links on your blogs or other money making properties.

The above may look like a rhetorical question, as it would be common sense to not ever trade with cheaters. Apparently that isn’t always the case.

So, why? Aside from the obvious? I recently had a long discussion about this with a friend and we both came to the conclusion that, even if they shouldn’t, many people still trade with cheaters, in many cases knowingly. While it didn’t come as too huge of a surprise to either of us, we still remained somewhat dumbfounded about the huge lack of perspective these people express by trading with thieves. Let me take a few minutes of your busy day and elaborate on that, I promise you’ll find it to be worth your time.

So, again, why trade with cheaters? Most of the times people will avoid the ones that cheat them directly, using various methods, because trading with them will cause direct loss. However, many will keep trading with these cheaters, despite public warnings and despite the risk of incurring a direct loss, very often because they “know” the persons in question (the cheaters) and think that because of the “friendship” involved they will not be cheated.

Well, I wish I could put this more nicely, but if you’re one of the ones described above then you’re a fucking moron. What you’re doing is you’re pretty much leaving the door to your house open to a thief, knowing he steals from others and trusting him to not steal from you because you may be friends. In reality you’re just tempting him even more to steal from you, since he knows you have your guard down and will not suspect him, thus making it very likely that you won’t catch him for a good while. By then he will have cleaned out your house and be long gone anyway, so for him it’s a good deal. For you, not so much.

Still, we see people doing this every day. Why do they do this? Well, see, if they kill a trade with a cheater and that trade happens to be quite big, then they lose traffic. Or so they think. And when they lose traffic, well, they lose… Hmmm, numbers in the script, if the traffic is not human. We all know Alexa ranks don’t mean shit and they may not always be accurate, yet every webmaster loves to flex his e-penis with high Alexa ranks. At the end of the day, however, numbers in the script don’t necessarily mean money in the bank, even if some would like to think so.

So what happens when an honest webmaster knowingly trades with a cheater? Since he is known as honest, more honest webmasters will be inclined to trade with him. Which means that not only will he get hitbotted himself, he will also be passing on the hitbot traffic to other honest people, who don’t actually have a say in receiving it or not. So at the end of the day, tolerating cheater “friends” for one reason or another just helps dillute the traffic pool even further. It also helps the cheaters grow big and strong, since they send out fake traffic and get real traffic in return. Or, like in the case of yobt.com, they redirect gallery traffic to their own site, thus cheating the sites that list their galleries, trading stolen traffic for clean traffic.

Again, trading with cheaters means not only that you shoot yourself in the foot quite immediately, it also means you’re shooting yourself and others in the foot for the long-term as well. So start policing your trades better and point it out to them when they trade with cheaters. If they keep trading with them, just drop the trade. You’ll be doing yourself and the rest of your trades a huge favour.

You may have seen on eBay and other auctions high pagerank (PR) domains for sale. You may have even considered purchasing one of these domains. How do you ascertain the value of such a domain?

First of all, you must verify the PR by using a free tool such as http://www.seologs.com/pr-check/pagerank.html. You just enter the domain name that you are thinking of purchasing. This site will tell you whether or not the domain actually has the PR that the seller claims.

Then, even if the site has a high PR, it still may NOT be indexed by Google, and if a site is not indexed, that’s sort of like a word not being in the dictionary. Google may think it’s a great word based on the PR, but if they don’t index it, it won’t be found in Google’s “dictionary.”

It may seem inconceivable that Google will give PR to a site they don’t index, but I’ve seen it happen many times. Google explains it’s because the algorithms that index sites are constantly updating, but the algorithms that calculate PR update less frequently, and sometimes the two processes are not in synch.

Be that as it may, I’ve seen high PR domains for sale that are NOT indexed in Google. What you can do to find out whether the domain is indexed in Google is to type site:www.nameofthedomain.com into the search bar. If Google comes back with a page that says, “Your search – site:www.nameofthedomain.com – did not match any documents” — well, the site is not indexed in Google.

You can try the same thing in Yahoo and MSN and see if any pages are indexed in those search engines. If the domain is well-indexed in Yahoo and MSN, and getting a lot of traffic, it may not matter if the domain is not indexed by Google.

However, another important factor in purchasing a domain is how many backlinks, or links from other sites, the domain has. You can type link:www.nameofthedomain.com into Google, and it will tell you which sites are linking to the domain. Once again, I’ve seen sites with high PR that only had one or even no backlinks!

If you are considering purchasing a domain with a high PR that is not well indexed or doesn’t have many backlinks, you’ve got to stop and think for a minute. Google has made it well known that it considers relevant backlinks, among many other criteria, in assessing PR. Now if the domain has no or few backlinks, how long do you think it will keep its PR?

So when considering the purchase of a high PR domain, be sure to perform your due diligence. Two other free tools that will help you are http://reladvance.com/metrix/find_metrics_results.php and http://www.linkpopularity.com. Always check out every aspect of the domain — PR, indexing, and backlinks — using several independent tools. None of the tools are 100% accurate at any given moment, and so it’s to your advantage to use them all and compare results.

Q. Host your own blog? Why would anyone want to do that when there are plenty of well established blogging platforms that will let you set one up and operate it for free?

A: Better SEO, total control, more traffic and more sales – although those reasons won’t apply if you’re not blogging for business!

When I started out blogging I opened a blogger.com account. That worked fine for me at the time because I was new to blogging. In fact, I knew so little about it at the time that I didn’t even realize that I could host my own.

Even if I had realised that, it’s not something I would have given a moment’s thought to. I was too new to working online. I was (still am) totally non-techie and it would have been too daunting a task.

So I happily blogged away on my blogger account until I logged on one day to find that Google had translated all the admin pages into Chinese. I live in Hong Kong so Google, thinking they were being smart, used my IP address as the basis on which to make the decision to translate it.

Not being able to find the help link (because I can’t read Chinese) I logged into my Google account (Adwords, Gmail, etc,) to raise a request for them to translate my blog back to English.

After a week nothing had happened. I’d got no reply and still couldn’t read my admin screens. So I simply decided to transfer my blog to WordPress.com.

By this time I had learned enough about blogging to have heard that WordPress was the place to be. So I imported all my old Blogger posts and started to learn WordPress. Given what I’d heard I was looking forward to great things.

One thing I noticed immediately was that my posts were suddenly figuring much more quickly in the natural search results, so it looked as though at least some of what I’d heard was correct.

And I happily blogged away until…

…one day I tried to log on to be met with a notice telling me my blog had been suspended for infringing WordPress’ terms and conditions.

Damn!! Twice inside a month I’d been blind-sided by my blogging platform and the second occasion was even more damaging than the first. (It doesn’t look too professional when your visitors are told that your blog has been suspended for infringing terms and conditions).

So, finally, I was pushed into the realization that I had no option but to set up my own blog and (pay to) host it myself.

So off I clicked to WordPress.org to see what I could find out. And I was pleasantly surprised.

Firstly – the instructions they’ve set out for downloading and installing a WP blog are delightfully clear and easy to follow.

There are a few minimum requirements set out, which pretty much every hosting provider meets. You can always check with your provider if you’re not sure. Mine did, so I printed off the instructions and got going.

First step is to set up the database. Easy to do – the instructions are very clear, include screen shots for every step of the way and are written in simple, non-techie language.

I then downloaded and unzipped the blog files, entered my newly created database details into the config file, (just followed the instructions), uploaded the files and accessed the installation screen via my browser (the URL is provided in the instructions). That kicked off the installation script and I was all done.

It was, literally, a 5-minute exercise.

However, the majority of (adult) hosting providers now give you an even easier method than that: One click installation.

I’ve never done a 1-click installation so I can’t confirm whether it really is one click or whether a few more are involved – but it’s definitely very easy and it doesn’t involve any downloading, unzipping and uploading of files.

So what are the benefits of running your own blog on your own server?

You have total control. You can write what you like, you can drive traffic to affiliate programs, no one is going to translate it into Chinese, and no one is going to lose your database.

You can customize it as much as you like. Customization is done through plug-ins, and there are plug-ins for just about anything you can think of. You decide what you want to do with your blog, then you can either go to the WordPress plug-in directory or do a Google search for a plug-in for the function you want.

Download the plug-in, unzip it, upload it and activate it through the blog admin screens. It’s that simple. Really.

But of all the sexy things you can do with your self-hosted blog, probably the biggest benefit of all comes from the SEO elements.

This really turns your blog into an incredibly effective way of figuring strongly in the natural search results.

Optimizing your blog for the search engines is simply a question of installing and activating the appropriate SEO related plug-ins. And you can find probably the best list of these in Jack Humphrey’s Authority Blackbook.

If you’ve gone to the trouble of setting up your own, self-hosted blog then you should absolutely download this book and follow the guidelines in there for optimizing it properly for the search engines. Firstly, it’s free and secondly, if you don’t set up your blog properly you’re wasting an enormous portion of its SEO potential. It would be like buying a Ferrari but never taking it out of the city centre.

I’m now using my blog as my primary means of drawing in traffic. I haven’t spent a dime on promoting it – and I don’t have any intention of doing so going forwards. And yet my blog is now attracting a little over 50% of the total traffic I’m getting on a weekly basis – that’s traffic to my blog plus traffic to all my other sites – and that’s almost totally due to the SEO effectiveness of my plugin-rich, self-hosted blog.

Within the next year I’m aiming for that to be well over 80%.
