Tips For Increase The Google Adsense CTR

When we make a account in Google Adsense then we have many questuions like these:
1. What is the exact location of the Adsense?
2. What will be the CTR(Click Through Rate) ?
3. How to increase the Google Adsense Click-through-rate or CTR?
so there are many query at the time of adsense setup account. Siva Prasad want to tell some tips and tricks to increase theGoogle Adsense CTR.

1 – Make sure the ads that are appearing on your site are closely related with your content. That means the all ads are related to your site if it isn’t that means title of the page is not relevant to your site.
2 – Use Your main Keyword or theme in the title. Create a keyword rich content. And you can use keywords in the content 1-3 times and should be Bold or underlined.
3 – Always use HTML Heading Tag H1 as your content title of the page, and put your keyword in it. This tag should be place at the beginning of your content.
4 – If your page have some pictures or data using table format then Use wide ads (336×280, 300×250 or 250×250). Because these are the best performing ads.
5 – If your page have more verticles links then you can use links format and should be use border as same as the color of the page.
6 - The back ground of the ads should be same as of the background of the page or pages.

9 Extremely Useful RSS Tricks

RSS is one of the core feature of WordPress and every other blogging platform. It is very usefubecause your readers keep track of your blog updates mostly by using RSS. In this article, we will show you some of the most useful RSS hacks, tips, tricks, and snippets for WordPress.

1. RSS Only Posts
There are times when people cannot afford to have a newsletter service like Aweber, but they still want to reward their subscribers. They still want to keep an incentive for subscribers, so your count keeps growing. This trick will help you create posts that is only shown to your RSS readers. 

You can achieve this by downloading the plugin called Advanced Category Excluder. Once installed, you should designate a specific category where you will post your RSS only posts. You can even name the category “RSS Only”. Then you need to go to the ACE Settings in your WP-Admin Panel and click on the feature Categories. Check in all boxes like Home, Archives for “RSS Only” Category, and leave the RSS Posts blank. This means that you have excluded RSS Only from being displayed in your home page, archives, and other places except for the RSS Feeds.

This is almost like a newsletter sent to just your RSS email subscribers and feed subscribers.

2. Control When Your Posts are Available Via RSS
There are times when you publish a post and suddenly find an error. You can go back in the admin panel and change it, but it is already published in the feeds. With this hack, you can put a delay of as many minutes as you like, so you can double check the post live.

3. Insert Ads in Your RSS Feeds
Making money is the concept that everyone likes, but monetizing gets hard at times. This is just another way you can monetize by inserting ads in your RSS Feeds. Feedburner does it for you, but it is only Adsense Ads, and there is a subscriber count limit. This short snippet will help you insert ads, or anything else for that matters in your RSS Feeds.

4. Display Any RSS Feed on Your Blog
There are often times when bloggers want to display RSS Feeds of other sites on their blog. Maybe it is from another blog of theirs that is related. This is when this hack comes handy because it makes your job much easier. There are several scripts and plugins that will do it for you, but you don’t need those because WordPress has this feature built in. And you should know that because you see the feeds in your Admin Panel Dashboard. 

5. Exclude a Specific Category from RSS Feeds
There are certain categories that contain maybe link love and others which most of your users are not interested in. This is the option to satisfy those users. You can exclude a specific category by using a plugin called Advanced Category Excluder.

6. Make a Separate RSS Feed for Each Category
Often times bloggers wonder how to make separate RSS feed for their category. Because sometimes your user only visits your website for the design category, but you have ten other categories that the user is not interested in. This hack will take care of this issue.

7. List RSS Feeds by Each Category
Last hack shows you how you can have a separate RSS Feed. This snippet will let you list your category feeds by each category.

8. Redirect WordPress Feeds to FeedBurner feeds.
We all want to have the most accurate subscriber count for our blogs. Feedburner provides us with a count of how many users have subscribed to the blog via feedburner feeds. Now WordPress by default has its own feeds to, so if someone types in yourdomain.com/feed then they should be sent to the WordPress version of the feed, and they can subscribe to that. But they will not be counted.

9. Disable RSS Feeds in WordPress
Do you want to use WordPress strictly as a static website. Then it might make sense that you disable your RSS Feeds. You can go to the wp-settings.php and remove one code but that will be stupid because it is a core file.

How to get Backlinks Easily

It's a faster way to Get Backlinks is to post content online with links to your website. Article directories, blogs, forums, message boards, and social bookmarking sites are good places to post content. By contributing to these sites, you are helping them by providing useful information, and in turn they help you by providing ways for you to get useful backlinks.

Generally search engines index forums so posting in forums and message boards is a relatively easy way to Get Backlinks, especially if the forum is respected in the field. However, you have to abide by the forum's rules, and the forum administrator is free to edit or even exclude your post. Also, sometimes links are restricted in posts. Submitting content to respected online article directories takes longer to do, but is worth it as an additional way to get quality backlinks.

Online directories such as DMOZ and Yahoo also provide a way to get additional quality backlinks, and also to get attention to your website from both search engines and visitors. Getting listed in these directories is free, but can take several weeks to a couple of months.

Content exchange and affiliate programs offer another avenue. For instance, you can offer RSS feeds to sites for free. Through other sites' RSS feeds, you Get Backlinks to your site, and can attract a lot of visitors with a well-thought-out headline and abstract.

Software Testing Interst Testing Blogs



It was never easier than this to learn any subject, get to know about what expert says and get opinion of people who have authority on the subject. You just need to follow blog of people who are expert in testing and are renowned in the field for their contribution. Your knowledge of the subject is bound to increase multifold by reading their blogs. TestingGeek will try to keep this list updated with best blogs related to software testing. If you would like to see some blog entries here which you think will be good for all of us please let TestingGeek know.
TestingGeek has consciously decided to just have links to the other blogs instead of providing a platform to you for blogging. That way you can be assured that all the blogs here will have information about software testing only, and will add something to your knowledge. Testing Lessons Learned from Sherlock Holmes
Interesting post on how crime investigation can be related to software testing and non technical skills like observation, deduction and knowledge can be used to improve you as a software tester.
A Tester's Translation Table
It seems to me that lots of people are experiencing lots of confusion regarding what lots of the testing terms we throw around signify. In an effort to remedy this circumstance I have applied my investigatory powers to observe what people really mean when they say these words. Forthwith, the answers which I have compiled.
A History Of Build System
In my younger days, before I knew any better, many projects I worked on compiled and published their software manually. You'd type cc and then copy these bits over there and then zip that directory and post it to there. Eventually, we figured out we could write little scripts to automate all the tedious bits and make it less fragile and more repeatable.
Wonderful discussion on the importance of abstraction and how very little abstraction is present in the automation tool market.
How would Pareto Learn Python
I am trying to write How would Pareto Learn Python with a similar view –concentrate FIRST on those 20% things which are essential for 80% of the Python scripting and then learn further. The outcome that I am targeting is a light-weight tutorial, which makes one quickly get into programming mode rather than sticking to excessive theoretical stuff.
Nice little tutorial on Python if you are interested in learning Python.
Explaining the Excel Bug
By now you've probably seen a lot of the brouhaha over a bug in the newest version of Excel, 2007. Basically, multiplying 77.1*850, which should give you 65,535, was actually displaying 100,000.
Before I try to explain this, I should disclose that I did work on the Excel team, but that was thirteen years ago. I haven't been there for a long time. I don't even think I know anyone on that team any more. I'm just trying to explain the bug a little bit as a public service.
What's a "Test Framework"
Wikipedia defines a framework as "A basic conceptual structure used to solve a complex issue. It also warns that "This very broad definition has allowed the term to be used as a buzzword."
When I use the term, I mean any support, infrastructure, tool or "scaffolding" designed to make testing easier, and (often) automated.
Testing Applications and APIs
What about testing the APIs themselves? What if anything is different? The first approach mirrors the small test approach. Each of the API calls is exercised with a variety of inputs and the outputs that are verified according to the specification. For isolated, stateless APIs (math library functions come to mind), this can be very effective by itself. However, many APIs are not isolated or stateless, and their results can vary according to the *combinations* of calls that were made. One way to deal with this is to analyze the dependencies between the calls and create mini-applications to exercise and verify these combinations of calls. Often, this falls into the so-called typical usage patterns or user scenarios.
Product Review - Test Design Studio
TDS is a complementary tool to QTP and WinRunner, which upgrades your programming experience to that of VisualStudio. Since the programming experience in QTP is extremely bad to begin with, upgrading it may not seem like a big deal; but let me tell you here and now – TDS revolutionizes the field of QTP and WinRunner programming, and you owe it to yourself to try it out. Once you give it a try, I doubt you ever go back.
Updated Watir Tutorial
I taught a Watir tutorial at the Agile 2007 conference last month. Watir actually grew out of a tutorial that I taught regularly between 2003 and 2005. It was a Ruby-based tutorial that Brian Marick originally designed for teaching testers scripting in Ruby. Brian eventually developed those ideas into his book Everyday Scripting in Ruby. I took over the original class, focussed it on web testing, and we developed Watir as a spin-off of the class. Watir’s intuitive API is largely the result of feedback from early prototypes in these classes.
Performance Testing Guidance For Web Applications
The main purpose of the guide is to be a relatively stable backdrop to capture, consolidate and share a methodology for performance testing. Even though the topics addressed apply to other types of applications, we focused on explaining from a Web application perspective to maintain consistency and to be relevant to the majority of our anticipated readers. You can also download this guide.
Recommended Reading For Learning Python
I have the opportunity to spread Python to some junior/newbie programmers. In doing so, I wanted to compile a concise list of reccomended learning materials. The intended audience is someone who has a basic familiarity with programming but no specific Python experience.
Blogger NEW + Firefox 2 = 'Exceptional'  Error!
This was something I have never witnessed before and was unusual, considering the fact that blogspot is owned and hosted by Google! The error message told me that it was a ' Temporary Google Server Error ' and to try in another ' 30 Seconds ' !
Boundary Value Testing at WHET4
It was quite intriguing as it quickly became apparent boundary testing is not as well understood as we might think.  It has not been covered in much depth as it is considered so simple.  Most people tie the concept of boundary testing with equivalence class.  But equivalence classes are equally simple on the surface, but have subtle complexity.  Now when you talk about the boundary of an equivalence classes, things become even murkier.
The Answer Will Hit You Like A Ton Of Bricks
Question: Would you rather be hit by a ton of feathers or by a ton of bricks? Most people answer "A ton of feathers". Some people - usually ones who have been accosted by this question before - answer "It doesn't matter, a ton is a ton". I answer "It depends!" (Are you at all surprised?
Why Testometer
How TestingGeek came up with the idea of Testometer? Is it serving any purpose? What are the plans for Testometer? What kind of applications/situations will be present..  and answers to similar questions are present in this blog by TestingGeek.
8-year-olds should test my code
I had played with UCBLogo for two weeks and hadn’t made it crash once. Brian brought the whole thing down in three commands. The most telling part is that when I tried to reproduce the defect a week later I couldn’t. I issued rt with a ton of 9s and just couldn’t get it to break. As it turns, it only crashes when you omit the space, which of course I didn’t think of doing. It took me more time to reproduce the defect than it took Brian to discover it.
Getting Started With Exploratory Testing - Part 3 & 4
Jonathan kohl discuss how tester with scripted testing background can move to the exploratory testing? Sure it is paradigm shift and difficult for testers who are accustomed of testing in a particular way. Jonathan gives some suggestions and tips on test ideas that you can use to get started with Exploratory Testing.
Do You Need More Testers?
How do you know how many testers are appropriate for any given situation? Is there any organizational or industry standard that can be followed for this? Michael Bolton explains in his blog, how thinking about other possibilities are important in cases like this.
 "MIPPING": A Strategy For Reporting IFFY Bugs
James Bach in this blog entry explains, how he used MIPPING or Mention In Passing to make sure all the issues are recorded some where.
Getting Started With Exploratory Testing - Part 1 & 2
What is the importance of skills like investigation, improvisation in the context of exploratory testing? Is there any similarity in the job of doctor, musician and tester? Read Jonathan Kohl's blog on the issue.
Playground & a Thought on Testing.
Have you wondered how complex a task like building playground could be? Great analogy of building a playground and software testing. Mike Kelly explains beautifully, how wrong is the perception that anyone can do software testing.
Watir and Selenium
Ever wonder why there are two tools for one task, i.e testing web based applications? Read on from the author and contributor of Watir and Selenium, Bret Pettichord.
