How not to?

Let's put this straight. I am in 12th class and the next few months are very important for my studies. I already own 4 blogs. With studies. writing on all these blogs is something I am unable to manage. So, I have made the decision. I am pausing this blog till May 2009. I know it is long time period but I can not help.

However, I promise that I will comeback with a bang! Till then, Bye!

Link exchanges are a good way to get traffic, especially for blogs. But exchanging links is not that easy. Why do something when it is not easy? So, come on, read this post and learn the ways you should not exchange links.

Exchange with Irrelevant Blogs
Having a link on a completely irrelevant blog is equivalent to having no link at all. Who will click the link if I exchange this blog’s link with some yoga or chocolate blog? Try to find out the blogs that are similar category as yours and then try to exchange links.

Exchange too much Links at the Same Time
Too much link exchanges at same time is not at all good. If you place lot of links on your blog to others, and get all of them to link back to you, it will not get them traffic and when they find it, they will delete your link. Spend some time finding some similar blogs and then exchange links with the quality ones.

Exchange with Eyes Closed
When someone asks you to exchange link, then first have a look at his/her blog and exchange if and only if the blog has some quality content and is regular. Having a link on a blog that is not updated regularly is of no use at all.

This is my first and last post that is not about How not to do something. I have got one more week and then I will be saying all my blogs Goodbye. I am too helpless.

Last month, my internet bill was Rs. 1300 and this month it will be near Rs. 900. Last time, I got a clear warning that my connection will be cut off if the bill goes above Rs. 500 next time. And I know it will. Next week, bill will arrive and my connection will be cut off. Now, I have just one hope left.

That ray of hope is you. First, let me make clear that by help, I do not mean leaving comments on my blog or clicking the ads. Just mail my father by clicking here. This is no ad. It will just open your e-mail client. So, if you want to help me, just mail him writing anything you like about my blog and asking him to let me blog. That’s all. Thanks for your help.

Next week, you will see usual three posts and after that Goodbye!

Intelligent placement of ads is an art and you should learn this art fast if you want to monetise your blog. You have read numerous articles about placing ads intelligently but have you ever read before about placing ads badly? No! Then, are you interested? Read on.

Content between Ads!
Place the content between lot of ads. This is the most common mistake people do. Consider a new blogger, excited about some money from his blog, he places ads all over the blog to discover that instead of any earnings, his traffic has gone down. People will never come back again if they do not find some useful content. Ads can prove a content killer if there are more ads than the content. Placement of content should be clear before you place ads. The content should be in " the first fold " that is above the half part of screen. Never make people scroll to read the title. However, this is not a thumb rule. If the page title/header is something big with a picture, content may go down as on this blog. Its not like I have not learnt this lesson. At the start, I had placed a lot of ads. The result was very less average time on site. Now it has increased by 200% after removing the excess ads.

No Ads on top
An ad top can get some good click through rate to you. If you are thinking this, shame on you. Ads like are 760 X 90 and 480 X 60 are not OK. Go ahead and place a big rectangle ad on the top. It will drive people away from site for sure. Try to place a small ad or adsense for search if you are registered with adsense at top. Link units are best for top. They do not take much space and as they present a page full of related ads, probability of a reader clicking there is pretty good.

Place one at bottom of a long page
It consists of two steps. First prepare a long web page. Second, place a contextual ad at the bottom. Remember, an ad the end of a long page is equal to no ad at all. Try to keep the page short. First, it will decrease the load time for your page although that does not matter much in this Broadband age, and second, it will give you some extra ad space at the bottom and this can increase the click through rate as reader will see the ad after the content and if he finds something interesting about the content there, he will click.

Sometimes essay is good but it is not impressive. I am talking about the "full of information" articles that have lot of data but do not make right impression because of the poor arrangement. How to write an essay that has information but is not impressive? Do not think so much! Why am I sitting here writing all this? To tell you all this! Read on.

Forget about Unity
The first and most important principle not to be observed in writing an essay is Unity. Do not care about giving every head, every sub-head its own paragraph. Keep the paragraphs completely random and mix the content. Remember, if the reader finds out the idea behind your content in less than 10 seconds, your bad essay is a complete failure at failing!

Play (Badly) with Order
The second principle to forget is Order.Write the events without considering their happening sequence. Write death date first, then the date of marriage, and at last birth date. This will increase the overall badness of your article.

Be Monotonous
Forget about the variety and be monotonous. Keep the sentence construction same throughout the essay and make the paragraphs of same length.

your Even with the Quad Cores of today, we are watching the softwares crawling. They are just not as fast as they should be. How to make them more slow, read on.

Do not Defragment
Never defrag your PC. That will not be of any help. Defragmentation is a pure waste of time. That’s the correct attitude. If you are already a part of this "Do not Defrag" party, do not even bother to get free version of IOBit Smart Defrag from iobit.com and use it.

Do not worry about Registry
Registry is where the settings are stored. Over time, it will grow as you keep installing the softwares. As this happens, computer will start to slow down. If this thing happens to you, do not install any Registry Cleaner like the free Advanced Windows Care and enjoy the slow PC!

Add hundred of Programs to Startup list
Get as many programs as possible in startup list of you Windows PC and then enjoy the slow booting. Do not bother about just having essentials in the list at startup and run as many as you can. Never bother to have a startup list check in the Advanced Windows Care which I have mentioned before. Forget to use Bootvis to fasten startup times of your PC. It works but do you want it to?

Its not like that above mentioned softwares are only ones available out there but they are good quality and the free versions are usable unlike some cleaners that let you scan the computer and present a list of 100 errors asking to buy the full version to clean them!

Whole world is talking about reducing Carbon footprint these days. Have you too heared of it? No! Click this link. Yes! Read on to increase your carbon footprint.

Keep Appliances on When not in Room
How many times have people told you that you need to switch off the fan and lights when going out of the room? Many times! How many times did you actually listen? If you answer is never, good job. Keep it up. Leave everything on when going out of the room. Never bother to switch it off.

Do not use CFL.
CFL is complete waste of money. It costs a body part and gives light equal to an ordinary bulb. What a waste of money? Use ordinary bulbs and avoid CFL. Go red, not green.

Use old Vehicles
Who needs new vehicles that cost a bomb for just a Eco-Friendly label on their body? Buy old ones with damaged parts who consume more fuel (not for bicycles). If your own car has damaged parts, do not repair them! And if you are thinking about buying something that runs on anything other than Petrol and Diesel, do not buy it.

Do not plant Trees
Why plant trees? They just reduce a bit of Carbon-di-oxide around you. Do not even think about planting trees. Instead, cut all the trees you find nearby. You will get some fuel.

Now, read the above tips thrice and act. I can sea water near you from here!

Traffic is one thing that distinguishes a blog from the crowds. How not to get traffic? Read on;

Imbalance Quality and Quantity
The balance between quality and quantity is not at all important. Either go on for a big assault on quality or quantity. Do not focus on both of them. Post quality content once a month or bad quality content 100 times a month. That’s all equal.

Place Ads Everywhere
Give a bad impression to visitors by placing ads everywhere. Be it sidebars, top or bottom, they should be full of ads. To top it off, place a banner above every ad saying "Please Click Here". Keep the ad color different from the template. They should look completely different from rest of the blog. Better still, add popup ads to your blog.

Get Out of the Community
Do not be a part of the community. Forget about blog directories and be lonely fellow. Do not leave comments on other’s blogs. If you leave, then leave meaningless comments. Do not link to other blogs that are related to your content. Never join Technorati, Blogcatalog , Pijoo and other blog directories.

Copy Content
Why make some content when many people are there with it. Do your part of cut-copy-paste job. Just copy all the content without any references to original source.

Never Advertise
Do not join any free ad networks like entrecard. If you have joined, stop at once. Anyway, if you have a badly designed entrecard, that will too do the job. Also, avoid joining Blogrush.

Do not pay attention to design
Why design when you have all the (copied) good content. Do not spend time on designing the blog. Unlike te fool who is writing all this, who spent 3 hours designing this blog, avoid wasting time in designing. Place widgets like mad, everywhere or nowhere.

So, you do not want to earn money online? It’s OK. Read on:

Believe "Get 1 Million" Ads
You see hundreds of thousands of millions of billions of....... (hmmph.., tired counting) ads online that say that they will make you billionaire. Go ahead, click those ads, join these sites, and then waste your time. These sites are pure waste of time. Just apply a bit of logic. These sites ask for a small fees in return of a big secret. I won’t be giving big lectures, but if you had a secret that could make you millionaire, would you sell it for $10 and make competition harder or keep it secret and be a millionaire?

Believe "Your Site on Google No. 1" Sites
You also see many ads that promise to get your site on Google No.1. Go, click on these ads too, join these sites too, and waste some more time. Just waste your time and forget that "content really matters", "backlinks do matter" stuff.

Avoid Writing
Avoid writing as it won’t do any good. Blogs are not at all good. They will never make you any money. Sites like Triond that publish your written work on known sites should be avoided. They won’t get you cash. Remember, when it comes to making money, you won’t get it for free. You will have to work and use your skills. The writing skill can be easily used. In fact, your poor author has published 3 articles on Triond. Links to them are in My Published Content Section.

That’s it, follow these steps and get what you want, "No money"

Employees are hard people to manage. Sometimes all of them are too much happy and sometimes all are discontent with their jobs. As a leader or manager, you need to handle them well. What? You are too discontent with your job. OK, read these tips and acts. Get fired or get them leave the job in 1 month, Guaranteed.

Never Respect Them
Respecting your employees is a bad thing. Just do not respect them. Have ego of your higher rank and disrespect them as much as possible. Useful if you are not happy with them. Either they will leave the job or you will get fired by higher authorities.

Never Reward Them
When you reward employees, their loyalty will increase and they will stick to you(not literally) and your company. Avoid rewarding them whenever they deserve to be rewarded. They will leave the job. No danger to you.

Don’t Give Extra Benefits
There are some companies that give their employees some extra benefits like free Dental Care, Telephone Bills etc. Don’t be one such company. Sure way to make the employees discontent. When they ask for it, be ignorant.

Do not Communicate(directly)
Communicating directly has to be avoided. If you communicate well, some people may start liking you and this will not be good at all. They will still stick to you and your company.

Try these tips and mail me back about happenings. I want to know if you got fired or employees left the job.

Presently, prices are rising at speed of McLaren F1 and our salaries are rising at speed of a bicycle at the best. What to do? Savings! Bah, I am not the one who will save some cash. So, here are tried and tested tips on losing money.

Fall in trap of Credit Cards
Credit cards or plastic money, how sweet they are! They let you buy things even when you do not have enough money in account and in turn give you bigger credit than the original amount. Cool! Go out, spend as much as you can and mail me after 6 months describing what you had 6 months ago that you do not have now.

Stick to Brands
The brands have good quality. Buy everything branded. That’s the key to get bankrupted. Of course, if you are relative of Bill Gates, branded things are OK. The point is that small things like paper, pencil, pen will not matter much if they are not branded. They will only save money.

Never Make Budget
Yes, as easy as it sounds, go out without any budget and spend as much as you can. Spend money as if you are billionaire. If you make budget, never implement it. Simple!

Watch Every New Movie
When you go out to watch a movie, money spent on transport, food etc. is negligible. So, do not watch a movie, watch all the movies. Forget that when the movie will be released on media, or will be aired on television, it will cost much less.

Surfing with mind closed can wrack havoc on you and your Computer. There are many viruses and worms that are waiting to infect your computer. Do you feel good when you sit in front of computer and things happen automatically? Like windows opening and closing by themselves, new programs popping up without any commands. What? You like such things happening! Then, this post is just for you.

Turn off Automatic Updates
Automatic updates in any software are irritants. I just hate them. They keep the software up to date and stop viruses and worms from infecting your computers. Thank God, the mindless people writing the code used the last bit of their intelligence and gave us option to turn these off. What are waiting for? Go, turn these off in Windows and any security software you have.

Uninstall Third Party Security Softwares
Windows XP had some (lame) inbuilt security features. Vista has some well implemented irritants. They might be good at saving your PC but these third party antiviruses and firewalls are good guards. They too do not let anyone unauthorized code enter your system. With all these worms and viruses outside your PC, how will you enjoy the automatic things I mentioned?

Download "free" software
Ever saw a website offering a software for free for which Microsoft (or any other company) charges a handsome amount? Click on download link right now. And remember, never run any Anti-virus scan on such a software. It will most probably appear as infected. But I know, you are following my tips and have surely followed second one. Freeware, Open Source and Shareware programs are big irritants. They are 99.9% times virus free.

Visit Porn and "Unlimited Warez Downloads" sites.
Porn sites and warez sites are biggest source of viruses. Access them as much as possible with security measures down. In a few days, your computer will get fully automated. It will start shutting down itself and opening new programs. It may also start downloading and installing new softwares.

Congratulations! If you have followed my tips seriously, you will see your PC getting automated within a few days. Don’t blame me if you are using Linux! It is just more safe.

For those who do not know, SEO stands for Search Engine Optimisation. Search Engines are good source of traffic. But they need to crawl your content. Make this job easy for their Spiders and enjoy traffic. However, I am a white hat and will discuss the same. Black-hats, find some other site. What? You are not a black hat! OK, read on.

Close your eyes when choosing titles.
As simple as it sounds, close eyes when choosing your post title. Something catchy will never make visitors stay on site. Never! Search engines prefer you to include at least one keyword in every post. But do you want to? No! OK, leave keywords.

Update once a year
or better, never. Updating plays important role in getting noticed. Stick to your schedule. Search engines love "live" web-sites. But beware, regular updating does not mean quality degradation. Maintain a balance between quality and quantity. Both are important.

Blog Directories are Rubbish
This attitude will soon get you blog to blog junkyard if there is one. Get your blog listed in every blog directory. When spiders notice your site address on many famous locations, they will soon index your page. To start with, there are links to blog directories somewhere here on this page ( not to your right! I kid! I kid! ). They are pretty good and can get a healthy traffic to your blog.

Manual Submission
Most search engines let you submit your blog manually. I can not mention all the adresses in this space, However here is address for Google.

Comments if used wisely, can bring traffic to your blog. But they can have negative effects too. Are you ready to know about how not to get the traffic through comments? Let’s Start.

Do not read stuff before posting comment
If you find an interesting blog but add comment without reading stuff, you are wasting lot of time, yours as well as bloggers. Reading the stuff at least once before adding comment will help you bring some traffic to your blog.

Post irrelevant comments
Many times, people leave such irrelevant comments that makes you say " What the f! " Leaving irrelevant comments is as good as leaving no comment at all. After all, no one will be interested in your blog if you leave comments such as " visit my icecream blog at ........... " on a blog that discusses politics. Leave some relevant comment. No problem if you leave irrelevant one, blog owner will reject it!

Forget to mention your url
If you do not do above two mistakes then the last thing would be to forget mentioning your url or wrong one. Imagine writing a informative comment as anonymous user and then forgetting to mention your url. I do not need to tell how frustrated you will be.

Good Routine is the key to success these days! I know, normally there is " hard work " at place of " Good Routine " but then hard work can be done only by regular people. Irregular ones work hard on Monday and sleep rest of the week. But, would I break the custom of this blog and tell you about making a good routine? No, not at all, how can I? So, continuing the custom, here I start.

Late to bed and Late to rise makes a man sick, unwealthy and unwise.
Regular routine starts from....... well, start of the day. If you get late, you are on to an unhealthy lifestyle and routine. What? You go to bed early and rise early? What kind of irregular person you are? Go, stand in corner for 5 minutes and then come back and take oath to follow my advice.

Try to work at speed of light.
Light is very fast, at least in Indian schools, we are told so. Back to advice, rise late and then try to do everything as fast as possible. Don’t be patient and mix up everything. Isn’t it simple?

Punctuality! What?
Don’t be punctual! If you are punctual, you will automatically develop a good routine and if you want to develop a good routine, why are you here? Shame on you! Immediately close this tab! ( In case you don’t use IE 5 )

That’s it! Follow these simple steps and steps in 15 other posts this blog has and be as unsuccessful as possible.

Going green is need of the hour. But people do not like go green. After all, why go green. avoid it! Try these tips and see who calls you green.

Green books, red thoughts
Read many books about going green, and when it comes to act, forget. Read what are effects, causes etc. etc. of non-green lifestyle and then, do not act upon it. Want to go green? Here’s a great book about going green and reducing your Carbon footprint . Nothing good comes for free. You will have to shell out a bit ( remember, a small bit ) to get this book.

Forget Basics
You should try to hit as high target as possible without any practice. That’s what I mean to say. Forget basics like starting from own home and go straight to town square and start a big rally about going green. If possible, hire people to accompany you. This way, you will not be going green and still pretending to be a greenist.

Use car for short distances.
When travelling short distances, try to use your car as much as possible. At traffic lights, do not turn off the car. Keep accessories on even when they are not needed. These steps will surely move you towards anything but green lifestyle.

Trees? Cut them all!
Cut all the trees around. This will help cut out the left " Green " label on you ( if it is left even after following above tips ). On your Birthday, do not plant a tree, cut 10 of them.

Had enough of negative? Click here to read something positive. Remember, you are supposed to follow opposite of these.

How to get phished? Were you trying to get phished? Yes! Then you are at a good place. I will tell you how to get phished in 5 simple and easy steps. No, this is not a phishing site, nor I will link to phishing site. I will just tell how to get phished. Here we start:

Turn off safe search
Ever visited Google? When you search, there is a small line of text - "Moderate Safe search is on" , first find it. I am not going to tell you! Turn safe search on and search for " million dollars " , "becoming rich in 1 month " etc. You will surely see some links. You will have to search a bit for phishing sites. But the problem is that Google may auto-filter such sites. This step may fail. Move on to next one.

Turn off all anti-......s
Do you have any anti-viruses or anti-spywares installed? Yes! And you are trying to get phished? Shame on you. Uninstall them all this moment, restart and come back to this page. I will be waiting for you.

Do not update
Use oldest browser which is available and to top it all, do not update. Actually, what they do in updates is fix security holes. If you have got all security holes fixed, how would you get phished?

Believe " You have won .......... " mails
Do you get mails which say you have won ........ with links where you can claim prize? If yes, click them, enter sensitive information required and then relax waiting to get phished.

Believe " Bank " mails
By bank mail, I mean the mails which say that the bank database has got corrupt and they require your details to save your money. Click links in these mails and enter your bank password. Then see what happens to money in your account.

Not yet phished?
Last and most effective step would be to visit porn sites. I do not need to say anything about them. Or do I? Tell me!

Getting users to click on ads is a tough job. However, with a bit of common sense and intelligent work, you can get users to click on ads. Read on.

Wait for ’ targeted content ’
Place ads on your blog/site and forget. This approach is followed by most of publishers out there and these publishers most of the times, fall flat. They do not earn much from blog/site. The problem I am going to discuss is more common on blogs. You have to repeat a keyword to get targeted ads. However, on blogs without a specific topic, repeating a keyword can be difficult. So, think reverse, do not wait for ads. When you notice that one ad is appearing more on blog, write an interesting post about it. It will get you many clicks provided the ad stays there for some time and you have got some visitors.

Place ads in dark corners (of blog)
Ad placement is important factor in getting clicks. Place an ad down the page and be prepared to get no clicks. Place ads near the top, or near areas which are most viewed on a page.

Give ads a thick border
Giving ads a thick border is equivalent to typing out in title, " These are ads. Keep away " Ads should be well matched to your site. They should not appear as different add-ons.

Promoting a blog is an art in itself. And a art which if not done well, can cause disasters to your traffic. So, are you trying to promote a blog? If yes, try these tips. They will do nothing bad if not good. Have something to say about tips, any mistakes or any additional tips, comments are always welcome.

Never submit to blog directories.
Blog directories are there to do nothing. This is the perfect plan if you plan to decrease traffic to your blog. What is a blog without readers? A waste of time and effort! It is simple, find some good blog directories and submit your blog there. Be sure to read there terms and conditions. Some good directories are Blogarama, Blogcatalog, Technorati, Blog Explosion, Blogrankings. If you are into serious blogging, you must have noticed Technorati. It is a good service. Blogcatalog has a good number of blogs. Blogexplosion deserves a special mention. It is really not a directory. It is a "traffic service" according to me. Once you submit your blog, it will be previewed by administrator within "48-72 hours". But in my case, 48-72 hours have stretched very long. I submitted my blog about 30 days ago and still it’s waiting for admin approval. But there are many advantages of using this service. Their traffic sending is truly unique. You have to surf through member blogs. On top, a bar that counts seconds and one with picture identification is present. After 30 seconds, you can click on the given number and go to another page. For each view, you earn 0.5 credits. 1 credit is equivalent of 1 visit. There are also some other services like games which can help you earn more credits.

Give wrong description.
If by mistake, you submit your blog to any directory, then remember to give as bad as possible description of your blog. Usually, visitors read descriptions and then click on the links. If you have a bad description, then this will really help you minimise traffic. Keep description as less informative as possible. Confuse the reader, see how he not visits your blog. But if you are in mood of driving traffic to your blog, spend some time thinking about description and when you feel it is good, write it.

Bad design and content.
At last, everything comes down to the basics. You have to get the basics good if you want to have a name in blogosphere. Have good and original content and you will see increase in readers. One thing to be remembered is to maintain the quality once you are famous. With good content, promotion becomes easy. Keep your language moderated. Abusive language will surely decrease traffic ( unless you are blogging about abusive language ).

Everyone is in search of good job today. And job begins from interview. Many people will tell you how to face an interview, so how is this blog different? Yes, guessed right, this blog will tell how not to give interview. Here we go....

Be Nervous
Being nervous is the first step towards a bad interview. A bit of nervousness is OK but a lot of it can make you live without that job. If you are nervous, just take a long deep breath before entering the room. And why are you nervous, people there are normal humans like you. Or they have horns? Have they? If they have, all right, be nervous.

Leave confidence at home
Be anything less than confident and you are sure to go home without that job. Confidence in yourself is the way to success. But remember, if less confidence is fatal, overconfidence is even more fatal.

Confuse them
There are two ways to get attention of a person, either convince him or confuse him. If you do not know the answer, just say "Sir, I am sorry but I do not know it." Never show expressions like if it is in your mind and will come anytime to mouth. This way, if you confuse the person, he will give you the most difficult question out of his bucket.

Do not be true
Do not tell lies unless and untill you are expert at telling lies. Telling a lot of lies can get you trapped in your own trap. And anyway, if you are selected, your lies will someday get exposed.

These are basic techniques to give an interview. Try these and get success. Best of luck for interview!

Strategy games have a big fan following. Are you too a gamer? What do you think about strategy games? If you have never played a strategy game before, now is a good time to start. If you already play such games, these tips will polish your skills.

Never Defend.
Some people take "Sometimes, offence is best defense" as "Offence is best defence" and keep on attacking. This way, they get their economy down and if by chance, enemy survives their attack, they are gone. Enemy will obviously be searching them and these "attackers" will have barebones defense and will easily fall. So, always remember to have a good line of defense. At least have some good units as backup even if you attack. This will help you to survive counter-attacks. In games like Age of Empires where you can build defensive structure like walls and towers, consider spending a bit of your resources on these structures. It is always wise to place towers inside walls. They will be able to do some damage to foot units till they cross the walls.

Be dependent on one unit type......
And die.
Depending on a single unit type is suicidal. Always have a good combination of ranged and melee units. Send your melee units first to engage enemy in combat and attack with ranged units from some distance. This will win you battles easily.

Never use healers.
Players who are not using healers to support their army should not expect to win big battles. When you outnumber the enemy, it is always easy to win but when two equal armies collide, healers can make large difference. Keep healers right behind the front line. Be aware of ranged units from enemy as they can easily kill healers.

Diplomacy! What?
In games like Age of Empires and Civilisation, diplomacy can be an easy way to win. Focus more on diplomacy than war. Get your economy strong. With stronger economy, you can easily raise a big army within seconds in case of attack. Keep diplomatic relations with other players good. An ocasional gift will help.

Plan B?
Strategy games are never won by a single strategy. They are won by a series of successful plans. Once you start your plan successfully, never get excited in middle of game. Work on your strategy. And always have a plan B ready. It will always be helpful in case of counter-attacks or natural disasters. It is always a good idea to have more than one base. These bases should be well defended and at a suitable distance.

What? You have never played a strategy game. Start now and have satisfaction of becoming world leader/king/emperor/whatever. A god game to start is Wesnoth. It is free turn based strategy game. Here, by free, I do not mean demo or trial! It is full game. To download, click Here. Do not worry if your system is a bit old. This game will run fine even on P3 700 MHz with 64 MB RAM. I have tested it on such configuration. It runs without any problems. That`s all for this time.

This post is a bit specific. But these days, everyone has a blog. So, they can use it as a reference to start advertising. After all, some money from blog won’t hurt you. Here we go.......

When placing ads, keep your brain aside.
When you are placing your ads, it is advisable to forget intelligence. Place ads in dark corner of your site. Bottom is a good place to start. Take a look at google heat map too to decide.

Use pop-ups.
The most effective tip from me (appearing 4th time on this blog! ). This one is must see depending on what you intend to do. Use pop-ups for some increased revenue. Remember, if a visitor sees too much of them, chances of him coming back are very very less.

Use only text ads.
Us only text ads if you are not interested in earning more from adsense. Ads that are of same types should be avoided. Remember to put some picture ads on site. And if a text ad is not working at a cold pace and you do not want to change its location, convert it to image only ad. Image ads are CPM and you will earn every 1000 visits no matter where ads are.

Referrals, What are they?
Remember, if you do not wish to earn more, do not put referrals on site. If you want to earn more, first analyse your traffic for a week or two with a free service like Analytics and then choose some high paying ad. There are some ads that pay $20 for a single sign-up.

So, next time, remember these tips and place ads. I have tried these and now, I am getting a good CTR on my blogs.

Bye.

This one is more useful to students but it will not do any harm if others read it. So, all good students, read and mend your ways.

Attentiveness? That hurts!
Being attentive serves only one purpose, that is learning. Be attentive and you will learn more. If learning is all you want to do, why are you here? Go, read your books. To be attentive in class, lean a bit forward. I know many people suggest to keep back straight but just try leaning forward and see how you see increase in concentration.

Studying Regularly? Huh!
Regular study is meant only for.......... yeas, you guessed correct, bookworms. Those who get good grades are either good cramers or regular. Cramming is OK but regular study may hurt you and your efforts to get bad grades.

Respect? Forget it!
Respecting teachers is a strict no. Never even think about respecting your teachers. Respecting teachers will not have any direct effect but indirectly, it will increase your grade. By giving respect, you either impress a teacher or try to learn. Both ways are hazardous. So, steer clear.

Timetable? What’s that?
Timetable manage....... well, your time. They make you regular and as said before, regularity is biggest obstacle in the way to bad grade. The thought of preparing a timetable should not even cross your mind, let alone execution.

That’s it this time. Do leave comments. After all, comments encourage poor blogger(me ) and he comes up with more interesting stuff. Also, vote and tell me how is this blog.
Important: If you want to get good grades, follow opposites of these tips. Never follow them as they are. They are just presented negatively so that you can find out most common mistakes people do.

I have written on this topic before, but this time, it is going to be more interesting. These are most common mistakes people do while designing a web-site. The content is inspired from Digit.

Clutter is good.
Never believe me(or anyone else) when I say this. Clutter can easily kill a good idea. Always remember, simplicity is the most effective way of getting a point across. Place too much links, ads and pictures on your site, and people will have no choice but to find another site. Visit Rediff to see what I am talking about.

Popups are also good.
Again, do not believe anyone who says this. Do not think about pop-ups unless you are designing a porn site(which you should not). Just bring your imagination, and now well, just imagine, you are reading this blog and at once from nowhere, a popup offering something free appears. Won’t you be irritated? Most people are! After 2 or 3 instances like this, will you ever come back? Of course, no one will come even if I put best content. And these days, browsers block pop-ups efficiently, so it becomes a pointless exercise anyway. A nice example would be Indiatimes. Just see how much ads they have.

Horizontal Scrolling.
Users are so habitual of scrolling vertically(if they were not, you would have horizontal wheels on mouse!) that horizontal scrolling seems very rare, except for large pictures. So, site should be optimized for at least 800 x 600 or 1024 x 768.

Four Second Rule.
If one cannot figure out what the site is about within four seconds of looking at loaded web page, the site has failed to make an impression on the user. Make sure that the content has primary focus on your site.

That’s it for this time. Here are some useful sites that give you a great point to start web designing:

• Web Design Library


• Web Developer’s Handbook


• Use IT

Bye.

So, the post continues. I was talking about becoming a "bad" blogger.

Do not be a part of community.
Community is most important in blogosphere. If you are not known, how will people know about your blog. Build your reputation. You should start surfing other blogs and posting comments(meaningful ones). However, do not leave comments like "Please visit my blog at..." . They are not considered good. Writers may even delete them.

Do not link to others.
Google’s spiders love links. Spider,for those who don’t know, are bots which search your page. Then an algorithm called "Pagerank" determines where your site will be displayed on search page. They love links. It is simple, more links you have, more informative will be your page. However, be aware of dead links.

Use abusive language.
One mistake that most new bloggers do is that they take blog as an uncensored medium to write anything. They are write, it is uncensored. But being abusive is totally a different thing. This shows that as a new blogger, you can get so much abusive to build traffic. This also has same impact as abusive comments.

That’s all for this time, Bye.

Bloggers are plenty to be found in blogosphere. Only some of them are good. And rest, they come and go. Want to get in their league? Read on to find how to get free membership of "Bad Bloggers Club" :

1. Expect heavy traffic from the word go.
Once you start blogging, expect heavy traffic for your blog. If you do not find it within 7 days, leave updating the blog and start another one. Repeat to earn reputation as "Bad Blogger". Actually the thing is that you have to be prepared for no traffic at all for first two or three months. Keep improving your writing skills and post regularly. This will help you to get a loyal reader base. However if you do not get expected traffic within 3 months, do not be impatient and keep posting. But if you are not able to get traffic even after 6 months, seriously consider changing topic or writing style.

2. Use lot of popup banners and ads.
If you are considering to earn money from your blog, then it is fine to have some(remember, only some) text and picture ads. But popups are a strict no-no. No one likes to be slammed on face when he trying to concentrate. Popups only decrease your readership.

3. Copy Content.
Original content is always good option for any blog. But for some reason, if you have to copy some article, ask the blogger first. Even if you are given permission, say thanks and link back to his blog. However, original content is always good.

Did you like this new style or was the old one better? Tell me through comments.
These tips are not complete, more tomorrow.

Speaking is essential skill for humans. We are social animals. We communicate mostly by speaking. To be a bad speaker, just read on.

1. Never be a good listener.
People who are not good listeners are bad speaker. "To be a bad speaker, you have to be bad listener." When people speak, do not listen. That’s the art.

2. Talk more of yourself.
Everyone thinks of himself/herself first. People already have many tensions. A bad speaker can add a bit more tension by talking about self. Never show concern to a listener. If you show some concern, you will be counted in good speakers. And who wants to be a good speaker?

3. Do not praise others.
Praising other is counted good among people When in conversation, do not praise others. Let them be what they are, no praise. And criticism? You are free for that. Unlimited!

4. Do not keep smile on face.
Smile on face will improve your speaking skills. It gives positive impact to listeners. But you are not here to learn to give positive impact. Give negative one by throwing that smile in trash..

5. Giving respect? Never!
Respecting others will not be healthy for your bad speaking skills. Respect no one. Never!

These were tips to be a bad speaker. That’s all for this post.
Note: Do not take content seriously. This is just an attempt to tell good things the wrong way. After all, humans always learn bad things quickly. Visit my other blog. Bye

Designing a good website is an art, but designing a bad site is bigger art. A bad site really gets more (negative)focus. a bad site with black-hat SEO is really a masterpiece. So, How to create such a masterpiece? Do not worry, I will tell you.(Worry, because I am telling you this! )

1. Bad color scheme.

Bad color schemes are plenty to be found. For example, a dull gray background with light green text on it. Once your hunt for bad color scheme is over, your first step is done. But next step will be more important.

2. Get a name with lot of dots(.) , minus(-) in it. (In short, a long name.)

Short and easily accessible names can mar a bad site. Look for a name that is longer than 20 words and has lot of special symbols in it. This is most important step. Done well, this is sure way to stop traffic to your site.

3. Dead links.

Lots of dead links are a perfect recipe for bad site. They can get your site a bad rank in search engines. Leave that apart, get some interesting name for these links, like "Free Games" , "Free wallpapers" etc. Get your visitor’s exceptions high, higher, highest, and then from there, smash them on ground.

Important Note:These are just a few of the tips. Many more are there to be found. If you find some, tell me through comments. If you apply these to your site and do not get any traffic for centuries, do tell me. I will count it in my success.

Want to read something interesting about Mr.I., Click Here.

Good leaders are essential for success of any team. A good leader can get a bad team from bottom to top. A recent example is Rajasthan Royals team in I.P.L. Royals were considered weakest team of the tournament. But with a stunning surprise, they won the tournament and were most successful team in entire tournament. It was mostly because of Shane Warne. Back to topic, What are qualities of a bad leader? They are:

1. He never appreciates his teammates.

Appreciating teammates will always boost their confidence. And for a bad leader, this can be fatal. Their are some good leaders out there who are very good at appreciating teammates. Just do not follow them.

2. He never respects his seniors.

Respecting seniors is a characteristic feature of a good leader. Never allow this to be a habit. Be like M.S. Dhoni(Indian Cricket Team’s Captain), he forgot respecting seniors and went on to lose I.P.L.

3. He follows others.

Adopting other’s method to any problem is the best tactic to lose. And if you lose, you are a bad leader. Always find someone tom and follow his trail.

4. He never sets examples for followers.

Mahatma Gandhi had this trait and this made him a leader with big followership. If you want to be bad leader, hesitate doing anything yourself. Instead, leave it to others. Never set examples.

Important Note: The above tips and tricks have been tested for ages over lot of persons like W.H. Hallas, O.K. Tulip, Mr. Coolin. Don’t know these names? Dear reader, they all were bad leaders. How can you(or anyone) remember to put their name in history books? And if they are not in history books, How can you remember them? They all were very bad(worst) leaders, believe me.

Do your friends consider you a good friend? If yes, read the following to be bad friend and if no, read to improve upon youeself.

1.) Tell their secrets to everyone out there.

If you know friend`s secrets, then go out there and tell everyone everything about him/her. This is a sure way to be in their bad list. Succeeds every single time used.

2.) Backstab.

There is nothing bad than backstabbing. Backstabbing is sure way to lose somebody`s trust. But, you want to be bad. So, 2-3 backstabs are recommended every month. Improves your rank in their blacklist.

3.) Hurt him/her.

Hurting physically is greater offence but emotional attacks are more useful. Make fun of friend behind his/her back and talk rashly to him.

Caution: The above tips have been tested and trusted, but in case of failure, Mr.I is not to be considered responsible. Use at your own risk.

How can someone be ideally bad. Do not know? I will tell you how.

1. Never speak truth.

Always avoid speaking truth. Lies will help to make you bad. Tell lies regularly. At least 100 lies a day are necessary for any bad man/woman. Whenever you have to speak truth at any cost, quickly apologize. This will not help to make your reputation as shiny as before but will recover it to a extent of 60-70%.

2. Use bad word as much as possible.

Bad words are a grace for anyone bad. Avoid using them and you will lose your reputation. Be quick to learn bad words. If possible, always keep a small notebook with you and note down any new word you encounter. A good cell will also do fine.

3. Never think before speaking.

Never speak after thinking. This process can really hamper your grip over two points given above. Anything that comes to your tongue must be spoken. In my opinion, you should never think, leave aside before speaking.

4. Respect noone.

If you start respecting someone, it may cause serious problems. There is even a big danger of losing your other bad qualities. Always make fun of others behind their back. If possible, make their fun ahead their stomach.

5. Never avoid bad company.

Avoiding bad company is something that does not deserve a single bit of your thinking. Bad company is your dictionary and guide to bad words and above mentioned qualities.

Important Note:Read the above instructions thrice and if possible print them and stick in your room. Practising everyday is recommended.

Today, a few tips on designing a bad blog.

1. Choose a bad name.
This is the first and most important step in creating a bad blog. Give a name that people can not remember easily. Try to find a name that is not interesting.

2. Post once a year.
If you have found a bad name, then always remember to post only once a year. Posting regularly can harm your image and your blog may be considered good which you do not want.

3. Less(or no) content, more ads.
Sign up for a advertisement service and display ads all over the page. Try to pack as much ads as possible. Remember, there should be very less or no content.

4. Choose bad color combinations.
Never let your content(if there is any) be visible. Keep background color same as that of font color.

5. Make lot of grammar mistakes.
Never use the dictionary feature of your blog editor, make lot of spelling mistakes.
