Search, Find and Download Files from Rapidshare

June 18, 2008

Picture of Download-list.com, rapidshare search and downloadRapidshare currently has about 230GBit/s of Internet connectivity and 4.5 Petabytes of storage. This makes them one of the world’s biggest and the fastest web hosts around the world. Rapidshare actually originated from rapidshare.de and switched over to rapidshare.com some time ago to give the web host a world wide recognized meaning.
Still it lacks some basics features one of which is not providing the ability to search the hosted files. I can bet, there will be hundreds or maybe thousands of files that will be of some use to us, that are available on Rapidshare. But just because it doesn’t have a search engine of its own, we couldn’t search them.

What if you want to download software, movies, music or ebooks of your choice and you don’t know the links? Still some people use complex search hack queries and try to Google out the files stored on Rapidshare. This is where rapidshare search engines do the job for us. Just type in your your keywords and they will hunt down files relating to that keyword hosted on rapidshare. Just like what Download-List.com have on it! [Read more]

How To Choose Your VoIP Service Provider

June 10, 2008

Picture of VOIP call phone imageMany people are opting to go with VoIP-based phone services as it is widely thought that it helps reduce your phone bills. This is not necessarily true all the time. Aside from that, note also that there is more to VoIP than just reduced expenses.

First check out whether using VoIP phone services will actually reduce your phone bills.

When you make long distance and international calls, the calls go through the local telephone company and then through the long distance provider who charges a connection fee and per minute charge. When you use a VoIP-based service, the calls go over the internet instead of the long distance provider. By avoiding the long distance telephone company, the long distance charges are not incurred. Note, however, that you incur the cost of the high-speed internet connection, which you require for the VoIP-based phone service. [Read more]

What to Look For When Choosing a WebHosting

June 2, 2008

Picture of Webhosting lookThe purpose of your web site determines what you need to look for from a web hosting service. A hobby site has very different needs to that of a business site such as Amazon.com. For example, the hobby site would possibly be able to be satisfactorily hosted on a free hosting site whereas Amazon.com would need a dedicated server with 24/7 support and eCommerce capability as a minimum requirement.

For the purposes of this article, I am going to focus on webhosting requirements likely to be required for small business or home based business people.
The most important requirement is reliability. You need a hosting service that has 99.9% up time to ensure that your site visitors can do business with you at any time. Check what is being offered by the hosting provider and ensure that they have a guaranteed up time and also strong support.
Make sure that the support is included in the cost of the hosting plan. It is worthwhile to check the terms of the support offered to ensure that it suits your business.

Next, you need to consider affordability. Hosting on a dedicated server is usually quite expensive and may only be needed for the larger small business operation. The other option is a virtual server. This is an arrangement where a server is shared by a number of sites. These web hosting plans are a lot more affordable for home business people and small businesses and are usually more than satisfactory for their needs. A disadvantage of shared arrangements is that you don’t get to choose your neighbors.

The need for eCommerce capability is also an important consideration. Check that the host provides SSL secure server. Some hosting plans also provide a shopping cart. Check this for ease of use and that the software meets the needs of your business.
Your choice of plans will mainly be dependant upon how much disk space you require and the amount of bandwidth you will be using. Disk space is relatively cheap these days and you can get plans with quantities well in excess of your needs.

However, bandwidth is more expensive and needs more careful consideration. Sometimes, late in a month, you will try to visit a site and a message comes up saying the site is unavailable as it has exceeded it’s bandwidth usage for the month. Unless you are monitoring your site, you may not even know that this has occurred. Therefore, to ensure access to your site is always available, I recommend that you choose the plan with the most bandwidth that you can afford.

Plans will allow you to choose between operating systems. The common ones are Windows, Linux and Mac. In reality, there is not a lot of difference between them and you should choose based on your personal preference or on what platform runs the applications you need on your web server.

Databases are becoming more common as a part of content management systems as well as scripts. Most web hosts these days will cater for these and often provide a range of scripts already available for your use.

You will also need to check how many domain names you are allowed in the hosting package you are considering. If you use sub-domains, check how many as allowed as some providers place limits on these. Check the quantities allowed for parked domains, FTP accounts, and email accounts. Are there enough to meet your current and future needs?

The control panel is your interface with your web hosting service. You need to be comfortable that it is easy to use and that sufficient help is available when you need it to ensure that you can set up and maintain your site.

Don’t be afraid to check out various forums for good and bad comments on the web hosts you are considering. It is also useful to do some searching through the search engines for any information on the companies providing the hosting services to ensure that they are likely to be around for a while.

Invalid Clicks on Adsense, What To Do?

May 29, 2008

Picture of Invalid Clicks on AdsenseHave you ever clicked your own adsense ads on your own website? I think I’ve made it too. Couple days when I try edit one of our website, accidently I clicked the adsense ads on one of my page.
Actually I’m not sure that I’ve made the click but the Adsense Tracker script that installed on that page reported there’s 1 click happened from the page.

And off course I woried about the status of my adsense account regarding the invalid click, and then I emailed Google Adsense Team. I gave them my Adsense Tracker report. On the report written the time the click happen, the IP address and kind of browser used.
And check what Google Team wrote me for the reply:

==================================================================
Thanks for letting us know about the clicks on your ads. We appreciate your honesty and your continued efforts toward avoiding such clicks going forward. I can confirm that your account is currently active and in good standing.

To help you on your way, we offer the AdSense Preview Tool which will allow you to check the destination of ads on your page without the risk of invalid clicks. For more information, please see: https://www.google.com/support/adsense/bin/topic.py?topic=160

For additional questions, I’d encourage you to visit the AdSense Help Center (http://www.google.com/adsense_help), our complete resource center for all AdSense topics. Alternatively, feel free to post your question on the forum just for AdSense publishers: the AdSense Help Group (http://groups.google.com/group/adsense-help).
==================================================================

Thanks God, they understand and keep monitoring the situation, that’s what we need to make us more comfort on partnering with Google Adsense.

I know there are some Adsense publisher out there that banned (as I read on some webmaster forum) and didn’t know why they’re banned. I think before you going too far with this Adsense invalid click, you must prepare yourself and also keep monitoring your own account.
Open your Adsense account and see for the clicks generated on the report, if there’s a suspicious activity on it, feel free to email the Adsense team.
You can also install adsense tracker script on your page, I know there are many kind of this script sold out there. It could help you to monitoring the clicks and hopefully, could avoid your adsense for being banned by Google.
Always email Adsense team, they will be happy to guide you for the rest.

Satisfaction with LAMP and Web Open Source

May 20, 2008

Picture of Web Open sourceMany computer users complain about Microsoft products, even about the mostly used product of Microsoft: WINDOWS. Familiar complaints include, “they don’t let the user alter his own settings,” and “they don’t leave us free to do whatever we want.” We see the same concept in the for-sale templates and in the servers which are built for lowest user input (like Microsoft Servers, ASP, etc.). The executable binary - .exe - is all you get from closed-source proprietary sources.

Don’t you think the user deserves to see the source files, to understand the error message that keeps on popping up, to learn how to make that widget default to a different directory, or how to add a cool new function? Don’t you think the user should be in charge of his or her own product instead of the monopolizing producer of the program? Once you see the code, you already started down the path of becoming an Open Source programmer. That’s the beauty of Open Source.

Do you really think LINUX was built by a big corporation? Or that the APACHE server was a side tool to newly released software? Or that the PHP language was invented by a group of scientists and licensed for free? All of them were created by some intelligent student or a professional coder who wanted something specific for their needs. After the core was created and released, all interested programmers or those who were in need of new functions contributed to the program somehow. Then in time, they became the foundations of the web as we know it today.

The philosophy of Open Source software among other things is that many hands and eyes make for good software, unlike too many cooks spoiling the soup. Bugs are more likely to be caught, and more importantly, fixed, if everyone has access to the source. As in cryptography, closed systems cannot be proven to be free of flaws or errors. While it’s no guarantee that bugs exist, open systems can be examined for flaws; closed systems can only be tested against known bugs (security through obscurity). It is the “unknown unknowns” that can bite you.

So briefly, it is quite obvious that LAMP (LINUX, APACHE, MySQL, PHP, PERL) dominates the Internet web. The reason is that LAMP gives value to the user input and this makes it easily adaptable for different purposes and very flexible for different usages. If you want programs to use for web purposes which you can easily modify and for which you can learn a lot from and thusly turn into a developer yourself, then do not give up using LAMP or other open source software.
