How to make your Error 404 Pages Useful

The 404 or Not Found error message is an HTTP standard response code indicating that the client was able to communicate with the server but either the server could not find what was requested, or it was configured not to fulfill the request and not reveal the reason why. 404 errors should not be confused with “server not found” or similar errors, in which a connection to the destination server cannot be made at all. (by Wikipedia)
What do you usually do when you click a URL and encounter a “404 File Not Found” error? If you are like most people, you’ll simply click on the BACK button and try another place. The majority of visitors don’t even know that there are any other alternatives. You thus need to do something so that you do not lose this group of visitors who come to your site by following an old link or by typing your URL incorrectly. [Read more]

Layout Tips to Maximize Adsense CTR Click

On Positioning. you need to add your Adsense links right in the heart of your template, right in the heart of your content.

The introduction of Google Adsense ‘link units’, now can be added what looks like a ‘menu system’ to compliment your menu system within your website. Have you ever just clicked on a website and kept clicking on the menu links? I know we all have (beware of invalid clicks on adsense). And by adding a ‘Google link units’ to your menu, hope that you will get more clicks than you thought.
Try add the link units near the top of your website for better performance and try create your link units matched with the color of your menu system in place.
Once, I find myself clicking on a menu link unit without even realizing it which in turn gives more money to the website owner.

The Leaderboards & Skyscrapers may very well be your “bread & butter” because of the sheer size of these ads units. The best place to add these ad units is obvious; Straight across the very top of your website for leaderboards, and straight down the side of your template for skyscrapers. Anywhere else may not look proper within your template and may look unprofessional.

The Square & Rectangle Ad Units are great to compliment the mass amount of content within your website and also within your resources. You want to compliment your content and don’t want Adsense to be your content because this make it look poor on your part.
Square and rectangular units are great to use within articles posted on your website or within your link resources. Try adding your Adsense boxes above your resource links within a page and give your Adsense account extra exposure.

Make Directory on WordPress

Done! Now my web tech directory is up. I will put some website link there that related to website development and technology sources. Off course you also can add your own website there, don’t forget the reciprocal link

This directory was build with the help of WP Link Directory plugin, that only works for WordPress 2.05 or above. Also you need GD enabled in order to get the Captcha working for the verification.
Some features that listed for this plugin are:
1. Creation of link categories, sub-categories with descriptions
You can create any number of categories with description in the directory, including sub-categories.
2. Quick add of link from admin backend and visitor front-end
Your visitor will be able to click on this link “Insert your link here”, it will pop out a form below for submission. Clean and simple.
3. Search engine for admin to find link
You can search for a particular link based on its title, domain name, email address, etc, thus never have to worry about can’t find a link that you want to delete or edit.
4. Easy integration to your WordPress theme
Now, this is one of the highlights of the plugin. You don’t have to worry about the template because this directory will use your WordPress theme. You can easily modify styling using the external style sheet provided in the directory folder.
5. Backlink cleansing for checking reciprocal links
What it is, is enabling you to run a link cleansing process that checks each reciprocal links and see if the site is linking back to you as it promised. A list of broken links will be listed and you can either remove them or do something else.
6. Non-reciprocal link allowance
Another great great great thing of the script. There’s many time when we want to allow a link to have non-reciprocal link, eg. you might just start setting up the directory and you’d need to stuff some default links in it. Thus, you can simply check the tickbox of “Allow non reciprocal”, and then the link will not be checked when performing link cleansing check.
7. Email notification templates
Sure you want to be able to have a good email template system that manage communication for submitters and webmaster. Thus, this script allows you to set a custom email template system for link notification and approval.
8. SEO friendly url rewrite
Wow! What more do you want? SEO friendly URL rewrite feature, that re-writes all url to search engine friendly format. Note that this requires you to be running on an apache though.

Cool enough?? Go download the WP Link Directory plugin here

After the installation, you will need to modify some layout code to fit your WordPress theme layout. Good luck!
