Google and me

Google’s new Toolbar is here with new functions.

1.You can save your toolbar with your gmail and when you move to the office the same settings will still be there.

2.Save your stuff in a notebook with the toolbar, it’s a very handy tool that you had to add extra before.

3.Auto fill with option for more then one profile. Google knows what webmasters really want for Christmas don’t they.

4.Suggested pages instead of an error page, well I do not think that’s an imporvant for the users it will just mean that people can pay to come on these pages and it maybe not at all relevant information.
Be aware of that the Google Adword offline editor has some problems with Google new toolbar. Install the new toolbar and then download a new version of the editor.

Here is a link to download the new Google Toolbar

The open office version Star Office from Sun will be available in the Google Pack and can be downloaded for free. Normally they charge 70 $ but then you get a CD. The download from Google’s link is about 140 MB big so nothing for you with a modem. I think it great that Google list all free things that is good to have for the computer and create once place where it all can downloaded.

Finally Word Press the free dominating blog system have released it update to Word Press 2.1 called Ella after the great Jazz singer. But do not be so quick to update if you have loads of plug ins and add on. I did the mistake by updating to quick and now my plug in has not been updated. Some have followed but most of them are still on 2.06 and they do not work on the new versions. He new version works like a dream and is faster but as I said wait until the plug ins you like so much have updated as well.

I have lately got a lot of customer from all over the work and I have big problem with keeping track of the different times zone and most of my meetings take place over different messengers and its difficult to get the complete pictures. I found this Scheduling Software that can help bring the chaos to order. As you can see on the introduction movie in flash the program is very easy to use and there is a free trial to download as well.

How can I stop people clicking on my Adsense ads?

You did not think that it was going to be a problem when people actually click on your ads did you? But getting banned from Google is actually that easy. If someone that does not like your website starts clicking away you need to protect yourself from them. Otherwise Google’s scam or abuse robots will come your way, if you lucky you get a warning if not they kick you out even if you did not do anything wrong.

Can I come back?

No, not many people have actually convinced Google Adsense that they did nothing wrong. The problem is there are too many people doing something wrong so Google have no time to talk with the really innocent.

How can I prevent this?

One thing you can do is monitor your clicks and IP addresses that visit your site. But if you have more then one site this will be a fulltime job. There is a free software called AdLogger and that software can actually block people from seeing your ads if they already clicked.
It is a totally free open source code so if you think you have a problem with click fraud or you want to protect yourself for the future download and install it is totally free.

Firefox is the anti Bill Gates for web browsers. There has not been any other treats to Bill Gates and Microsoft Internet Explores before this. Netscape gave up and is now a DIGG me site. Internet Explorer has even copied some off the things that Firefox has in its latest version.

So what does Google has to do with Firefox? Well they have their search and tool bar in that software and my guess is they support them with money. Microsoft already have their own Pay per Click system and would bite themselves before they let Google in there browsers.

Is Firefox a good program? Its great and the best thing its free and people keep on adding free plug in everyday. Not many people write free plug in for Internet Explorer 7.0 but Microsoft them self. They have not created the community that Firefox has.

Later this year Eudora my own mail client is going to launch something spectacular with the sister program of Firefox the Thunderbird mail client.
Google Adsense will pay you up to a dollar for having Firfox banner on your site and it suits every site because we all need a better and safer browser.

This keyword checker tool checks a word and how what web site associated with that word was indexed by Google. Its pretty fun to see what pages google indexed last and its pretty sad its not mine even how much i click.

The tool is built by KC TAN and he also made a free Google API powered tool for your web site that counts the number of pages Google had indexed from your site. You can see a demo of the script here and download the code totally free here.

The most easy way for a complete beginner like me to start using Adsense and Word Press is to download the plug in made by acmetech.com and is based on a plug in called Adsense by Phil Hord.

By creating short cuts for every code you like to put on your Word Press blog you can with a mouse click insert any AdSense or Yahoo advertisement you wish.

There is also an option to preview the ads before launching the website and no programming and very little knowledge is needed to use this plug in.
If you like you can donate 5 % of your Adsense ads to the author for the script to say thanks for this great plug in to Word Press.

Word Press 1.5-2.05 is supported and the website is always updated with news and new downloads.

You can now get paid to offer one of the best free photo software’s in the market.
Picasa was bought a by Google a few years ago and should get more attention. Google should have done it to what flickr.com is to Yahoo. But they did not put that much energy into it so now it’s just great photo software.

With Picasa photo software you can Locate and organize all the photos on your computer and also add effects to your photos with a few simple clicks.
It comes with a 250 MB storage and if you want 6 GB you only pay 25 $ more. You need to have a Gmail account to get free storage but that is free as well.
Google Adsense will pay you up to one dollar per downloaded software and that’s not a bad deal for free software. If you have a photo blog or lots of photos on your site this is a great opportunity for you. So start promoting Picasa today there is money to be made.
