Cool and funny javascript code tricks- collection
Today, I will list some very cool JavaScript hacks and tricks that you can use creatively or just have plain fun. To make each one of these codes work, all you have to do is copy and paste it into the address bar of your browser window and hit “Enter”. So here they are :-
Play the “Lord of the Web”
This code lets you edit any page/website in real-time:) . With Firefox, you can even edit and save the modified pages to your computer. Very nifty code!
javascript:document.body.contentEditable='true'; document.designMode='on'; void 0
The Big Wheel
This piece of code pulls off all the images from your web page and rotates them in a circle. Really makes any page go naked (without its images). The best place to test is a website with many images. (Google Images for an example)
javascript:R=0; x1=.1; y1=.05; x2=.25; y2=.24; x3=1.6; y3=.24; x4=300; y4=200; x5=300; y5=200; DI=document.getElementsByTagName("img"); DIL=DI.length; function A(){for(i=0; i-DIL; i++){DIS=DI[ i ].style; DIS.position='absolute'; DIS.left=(Math.sin(R*x1+i*x2+x3)*x4+x5)+"px"; DIS.top=(Math.cos(R*y1+i*y2+y3)*y4+y5)+"px"}R++}setInterval('A()',5); void(0);
If you look carefully in the above code, its rotating the HTML “img” tag. Just replace it with “a” or “p” and watch some links or text rotate instead of images.
Tremors
Your browser will be very afraid of this code:)If the code below doesn’t seem to work, please replace > with > and < with <
javascript:function flood(n) {if (self.moveBy) {for (i = 200; i > 0;i--){for (j = n; j > 0; j--) {self.moveBy(1,i); self.moveBy(i,0);self.moveBy(0,-i); self.moveBy(-i,0); } } }}flood(6);{ var inp = "D-X !msagro na dah tsuj resworb rouY"; var outp = ""; for (i = 0; i <= inp.length; i++) {outp =inp.charAt (i) + outp ; } alert(outp) ;}; reverse
The Calculator
In case you are not in a mood to use the standard windows calculator and want your browser to do the dirty job for you, use this code.
javascript: alert(34343+3434-222);
You can change the numbers according to your choice and also try creative complex equations. Just put your arithmetic into javascript: alert( );
Finding Spoof Websites
There are times when you are not sure that the website that you are visiting is authentic. Use this code whenever in doubt :-
javascript:alert("The actual URL is:\t\t" + location.protocol + "//" + location.hostname + "/" + "\nThe address URL is:\t\t" + location.href + "\n" + "\nIf the server names do not match, this may be a spoof.");
Hope you like this javascript collection.Isn't it cool?? If you know more javascript code please share with me via comment.

Use google to search for forums that are related to your blog. Look for forums that has over 10,000 members and read the rules of the forums to see whether you can promote your blogs and websites in your signature. Join forums that allow you to add a link to your blog in the signature and start participating in discussion. You can ask questions, answer other members questions and post your articles, ideas and thought in the forums.
4) Submit Your Blog to Directories
This isn't working to me but some bloggers claim that they gain a good amount of traffic from their listings in directories.
5) Post Often
You can lose traffic if you seldom update you blog, try to make it at least 5 posts per week. This not only will maintain your traffic but possibly attract more readers.
6) Write about Blogging
Write helpful and quality articles related to blogging can attract other bloggers link to your articles and gain may be truckload of free traffic.
7) Post Breaking News
If your found a breaking news of your niche very earlier, post it to your blog. It may give your blog's traffic a boost.
8) Social Bookmarking
Bookmark you blog posts in the large social bookmarking sites like Netscape.com, Digg.com, Simply and Reddit.com.
9) Run a Contest
Start a contest on your blog. Think about the prizes that people really want. It will create a viral effect and bring in new visitors.
10) On-page Optimization
Make sure your blog's title tag and description tag contain your targeted keywords. When you have posted plenty of quality blog post and done a lot of blog promotion, don't be surprise to see your blog ranks top 10 in Google and get free search engine traffic daily.
6 Ways to Make Money Blogging
CPC advertising programs are the best money making programs for most of the bloggers. They are suitable to all kind of blogs with family-friendly content regardless of their traffic level and age. CPC programs work well on blog because they display contextual ads that are highly relevant to blogs content and bloggers will earn anywhere between 10 cents to 50 cents for each contextual ads click by their visitors. With proper CPC ads optimization and consistent amount of traffic, a blogger can earn a steady amount of money displaying CPC ads on his/her blog. Google AdSense is no doubt, the undisputed king of CPC advertising programs and Yahoo Publisher Network is the closest alternative of AdSense.
2) Cost-Per-Action (CPA) Advertising Programs
CPA programs is quite similar to CPC programs except CPA programs don't pay bloggers for each click on the CPA ads hosted by bloggers. The blogger only makes money when the visitor takes an action on the CPA advertiser website. The action can be a sign up, making a purchase, generating a lead, downloading a product and more. CPA networks pay a lot more than CPC programs, for a visitor sent by the blogger from his/her blog to a CPA advertiser website and the visitor taken an action on the advertiser site, the blogger can earn few dollar to fifty dollar depend on the niche. But CPA ads tend to work well on large traffic blogs only. AzoogleAds.com, Commission Junction and Advertising.com are some of the largest CPA networks.
3) Promote Affiliate Programs
Marketing affiliate programs is very common nowadays. You sign up with affiliate program of an online company, then decide whether to use the company's text link or banner ads on your blog to promote the company's products or services and earn affiliate commission when a visitor make a purchase through your affiliate link. Affiliate programs can be promoted without a website and blog too.
4) Pay Per Post Programs
Pay per post programs started last year. The programs pay bloggers to write a blog post about a sponsor's website. The paid blog post can be a review or an introduction on the advertiser's website, products or services. The blogger will be paid a least $5 for each sponsor post. Blogs that have massive traffic, high Google PR and large number of subscribers can charge a few hundred dollar for just writing one sponsor post. Here's are the two most popular Pay per post networks that offer this type of earning opportunities:
www.reviewme.com
www.payperpost.com
The downside of pay per post is that writing too many sponsor posts that are not relevant to your blog content can seriously affect your traffic.
5) Sell Text Link Ads
Selling text links on your blog can be a great source of additional online revenue. It is not difficult to get started, just go to Text-link-ads.com to sign up an account, then decide which part of your pages you want to display paid text links, set your price and you are ready to take order. Text-link-ads.com will handle all the promotional works. Another company that offers the similar services as Text-link-ads.com is Reverselinks.com
6) Hosting Web Poll
Vizu Answer offers a pretty new way to monetize your blog's and website's traffic. The pays the publishers on a cost-per-thousand impression (CPM) basis for hosting targeted web poll. The money a blogger can earn from hosting poll is depending on the page views. The more page views, the higher the earning.

Optimize Your Blog Homepage
Some brief advices:
Use the correct header tags – H1 only for header of blog, not for each post title.
Only Display the Content of 2 Recent Posts – I did not understood why you should do this, I think that to show 10 or even 15 posts (full text) is better way. But you can have other point of view…
Give Blog Goals a Priority Position on your Homepage.

10 Steps to New Blog Success
3) Choose a blogging platform. For blogs I always prefer wordpress, a self-hosted wordpress is the best option for blogging. This is a blog running on wordpress.
4) Don’t start a blog with one or two entries. At-least make 10 posts on the blog’s launch day. A blog with some decent content always makes a good impression. If you do this, then you will have nice readers from the first day of the launch.
5) Content is king, so make nice content. Check for grammatical and spellings errors off line, before publishing the blog. Good content brings natural links, so it is always advised to write properly. If you are not good at writing, then hire a writer. Pay someone who writes well.
6) The next step is to add the feeds. Check out feed burner and get your feeds running. You can see on the left sidebars, I have the feed subscription buttons placed there.
7) Try the blog top sites. This is a good way to show the world how popular your blog is. This also brings some traffic. Check out my blogs ranks on the top sites, the ranks are visible on the sidebar.
Promote your blog with the power of social bookmarking. To start with, join technorati, it’s a blog search engine, and it is huge. Then try del.icio.us it is another social bookmarking website which gives a lot of traffic. There are a few more like this, digg, stumbleupon, reddit etc, I will make another post for this topic, let’s not get too deep into this here.
9) Frequently visit blogs of your niche, even subscribe to it. When ever you see a new post, read it properly and give a good comment on it. Don’t post spam comments; make a nice comment that gets accepted. Some blogs are no-follow and some are not. But remember the no-follow is only for Google and there is msn and yahoo also for the search. This step can help you get a lot of targeted readers apart from the link popularity. You can even give blogroll links to a few of the good blogs that you regularly visit.
10) Try to post regularly, if you don’t post for sometime long, then you will lose a lot of subscription and regular readers. Blogging is a passion, don’t just blog for the shake of it.

A Few Basic Steps About Blog Marketing
If you are not going to pick a good topical niche to write about, then do as I will do and that is to write about my journey from zero to hero in the world of internet marketing. I do realise that people who just talk about themselves 24/7 will eventually bore their audience to the point of leaving, but the person who writes about his or hers journey, from beginning to end makes very interesting reading, especially for someone who is thinking of embarking on the same or similar journey. If you are not thinking of doing the same sort of thing, then do as I said in the beginning and pick a good niche that you know something about. The ideal situation is to write about a hobby that you are interested in, and that is also very popular with millions of people. Example [Fishing].
Now you can start posting on forums, but make sure you put your url from your blog in in your forum signature, or it can be classed as spam and that is the last thing you need when you are just starting out. Do not just blast your way into the forum, pimping your crap, as my mentor would say. [Alex Jeffreys] The ideal approach would be to just join the conversation, and try and make sure that it is the same as the niche you are writing about. This way you will get a lot of return readers to your blog. Try to find the most current forums in the niche you are writing about.
If you find it difficult to find a good forum in your own niche, just go to google and google search for your own niche keywords, and then just add forums. You should then find that you have a big enough list to pick a good size forum with at least a couple of thousand members in. Another thing that is worth thinking about is to try and do track backs and ping backs to all the other blogs that you have visited and commented on, so they will know who you are. Curiosity will always make people come and look who you are when they find out that you have been talking about them, they will want to know exactly what you said about them. What is even better is that some of their readers will hear that you were talking about an interesting subject and then they will visit your blog.
Try and put a bit of time aside to make visits to other peoples blogs and leave comments, and nine times out of ten you are asked to leave your blog url which obviously links them straight back to your blog. Try to visit and comment on blogs that are writing about the same sort of niche that you are writing about, and then you are more liable to find that when they visit your blog that they will stay a lot longer. You should always keep your blog up to date when you first start writing because your readers will always look forward to returning and reading your latest post when you have got their attention. If you just stick to the basic steps that I have just mentioned you will find that you will get a natural organic growth of traffic and find more and more readers and comments coming to your blog every day. Don't forget to never use spam on your fellow writers blogs, as Google do not take very kindly to this and one way or another you will be penalized, which in turn will brake the chain of organic growth of your blog.
Blog Promotion Made Easy
First thing you as a blog owner should understand is that building substantial traffic to your blog is a process that takes time. It typically takes several months. To make a blog search engine friendly and content rich should be your primary aim. In fact these two points should be kept in mind during the blog building phase itself. When your blog is search engine optimized it will automatically feature near the top in search results which will in turn attract traffic to your blog. When the content is good the blog gets word of mouth advertisement and is automatically promoted. There are many sources of traffic which you can try to tap. Some sources have the capability to generate a big number of visits while others are significantly low. Searches give considerably high levels of traffic. Social networking is much hyped but results vary. Bloggers referred from another blog are also good traffic generators. You need to stay focused to recognize what exactly works for your blog and try to work hard on that promotion technique to take your blog forward.
A blog that has fresh posts every day or many times in a day will definitely create an image of being active; that some one is working on it diligently. New posts there fore bring back visitors for more information. They also serve to add new pages to the indexes maintained by search engines. Having comments for the posts will be great because it gives an impression that not only many people are following your posts but they find the posts good enough to pump in their comments. You should remember a thumb rule that repeat visits are a key to a blog's sustained success. When visitors come back it means they are interested - they are more likely to leave comments, become your customers, spread your blog news to their friends circle and so on. So repeat visitors is equivalent to trusted network building on a vast scale.
Link building is another technique that you should make your priority. They get traffic from other blogs plus also improve search engine rankings. If you can get inbound links from blogs that already have a following it improves your blog credibility automatically. Another important factor you might want to consider is to spread out your traffic from different sources - having visitors coming from just one source alone could be risky. If some thing happens to the flow from that source then your blog will be left stranded. Where as when you have more than one source generating traffic for you there will always be a fall back option. Forming a network with co-bloggers is a sound move in terms of building traffic because a wide network means better exposure.
Ways and Means to Increase Blog Traffic
First important thing to do is to make sure that your blog is built right even before you try to promote it and drive traffic to it. Choosing the right kind of blog software is quite critical because only then can you customize the blog just for your users. A good CMS or Custom Blog Solution should let you build easily from scratch and also allow for future blog growth.
You should host your blog on your own domain that is your primary website because you can only then attract links and attention. Keeping your titles crisp and appealing helps in attracting people. One more thing you should remember when adding titles to your posts are the search engines - include keywords or phrases that people are likely to search in the titles so that they can attract visits through search engines.
Next is to find forums and blogs that are relevant to your field of interest. Writing and posting on these forums and blogs will certainly increase your blog hits. Tagging the posts on your blog also helps. When people look into a blog post content the first thing they tend to see are the comments. When there are interesting or even controversial comments it makes for much better reading and could certainly invite more active participation. In case there are no comments a feeling of inactivity is conveyed which makes the blog not so interesting to remember and come back to. Make sure you invite comments.
Make your posts interesting and useful; give unique information that your bloggers are not likely to find anywhere easily. This will give your blog a healthy image of being "informative". While providing links from your posts ensure that you neither give too many nor too less number of links. Also make sure the links are relevant and meaningful for the bloggers. Instead of mere text give charts and graphs to give the content a rich and inviting look. Try to get some well known person in your niche area to contribute a post - this will automatically increase the blog's interest quotient. Till your blog becomes really well established and attracts substantial hits refrain from hosting Ads.
For a relatively new blog advertising on them will serve to annoy visitors. Try to find out the information that is sought very often by people in your area of expertise. Base your posts on those and watch the big positive impact it has on traffic. Follow such methods which have produced good results and enjoy greater traffic to your blog starting today.
How to Tell People About Your Blog
I am sure you have told all of your friends about your new Blog then found that very few of them visited it more than once. One of the biggest mistake business owners do is thinking that if they have lots of friends and know lots of people then their business will grow but this is completely wrong.
Try grabbing any of the free mail lists present on the internet and send a mail about your site to 100,000 person and see if few weeks later any of them came back to your site. The main reason those people won't come back is that they don't need your site!! And if you want to have a popular website then you must only tell those who need it.
How to tell people about your Blog
Why would your married grand father bother to visit your skate boarding Blog? He wouldn't visit it simply because he is not interested, But your young neighbor who spends 3 hours everyday skate boarding will surely be interested in your blog.
Telling people about your blog in a random manner is like telling your grandfather about your skate boarding website. This is what marketing is all about, finding people with already existing needs then providing them with the solutions they were waiting for.
How to find the right people to tell them??
There are two types of people you should be after, the first group are the ones having certain needs and who are already searching for solutions. As you may have already guessed those are the people who use search engines to locate answers to their problems. Optimize your website for search engines, which is not a hard task by the way, and you will find that you at tracing those who are interested in your content.

Adsense Tips for Bloggers 1
How do you make money from the Google Adsense Program? What AdSense Tips can you share with us?
I have been asked this question so many times in the past few weeks that I thought I should write something on the topic. It seems increasingly bloggers want to try to cover their hosting and ISP costs with some revenue from their blog - and increasingly they’re doing it and are able to make a few (or quite a lot) dollars on the side. Many are turning to Google’s Adsense program.
Covering costs of my Digital Photography Blog is why I originally signed up with Google Adsense - blogging can get expensive when you have high levels of traffic and a lot of pages.
Whilst the agreement you sign with Google stresses that you are not allowed to give specific information about your earnings from the program I can say that I’m glad I’ve signed up because its well and truly covered my costs - and then some. In fact I think its quite feasible to expect that Adsense coupled with other strategies for making money from Blogging could quite easily generate a decent living. It takes time and hard work, but I think its very doable. (Update: Since writing this series I’ve revealed that I am now looking at making over a six figure income this year in 2005 from blogging).
So how do I make money from Google Adsense? Let me share some AdSense Tips that heve helped me.
This will be the first in a series of posts on this topic. Let me say up front I’m no expert - there are a lot of people out there making a lot more money than I am using Adsense - however most of them are not telling their secrets - well not for free anyway. I’ve got no secrets to hide and am willing to share what I’ve learnt since I signed up for the program 8 months ago. If you want a REAL expert’s opinion on Adsense I’d recommend buying Joel Comm’s What Google Never Told You About Making Money with Adsense E-Book. Joel earns $15,000 per month from Adsense and has some good things to share.
I know some bloggers are put off or offended by the idea of making money from blogging so I’ll try not to let these posts dominate my blog - however if you are not interested in the topic, simply skip over these posts.
I am going to assume a few things in this series to cut down the amount of introductory comments I have to make. Here is what I am assuming:
- You have a blog. Whilst most of the following tips will apply to other types of websites I run Adsense on blogs and will speak from that experience.
- You have (or will) read a basic overview of Adsense and have some understanding of what it is.
- You have(or will) read the program policies as outlined by Google. These give details of site eligibility, ad placements and other requirements for using the system.

Top 10 Steps To Launch A Successful Blog : Tutorial For Upcoming Bloggers
When I entered Engineering I learnt a lot of new things. Having good knowledge about softwaresand computer tips, I decided to make a blog and share my knowledge with others and make few bucks out of it. Today I am sharing my own experience how to launch a successful blog. It will be a step by step tutorial. If you are new to blogging it is an important post for you .
Now my Alexa Ranking is 84,519 and Page Rank 3. In this tutorial I am going to tell you that how I promoted my blog, how my Alexa graph went up and how I got my first cheque of 100$ in 3 months…
Before starting a blog you should ask yourself that on what topic you can write, on what topic you haveknowledge, on what topic you have interest. This is known as Niche. You should choose a correct niche for your blog. Do not think that your friend is earning good from a tech blog so I should also make a tech blog. No ! This thinking is totally wrong. Every person have different taste, interest and skills.
Always choose a niche for your blog in which you have :
1) Knowledge : If you have knowledge about any topic, do not think just start a blog on it.
2) Interest : Make sure that beside knowledge you do have Interest in the topic that you have chosen.
Knowledge without interest does not last long. The same is case with a blog if you have knowledgebut no interest your blog’s graph will gradually decrease.
Note : Please note that do not make a blog on pirated softwares, games, movies, MP3’s and any illegal stuff. Google will delete your blogif you select any such niche for your blog. Please read Blogger Terms & Conditions before moving further.
After choosing niche for your blog the next thing you should look for, is hosting. If you do not want to spend any money, Blogger is the best service. Most of the blogger start from .blogspot and then after they start making money from it they take their own hosting and domain. If you do not want spend a single penny I recommend you to use Blogger.
Now after selecting hosting the third thing that is most important is Blog Name. Your blog name should be according to the niche of your blog. ( I realized this thing after 1 month of blogging )
Always remember that use a simple domain that is easy to remember. A 2 letter domain is recommended like Real Trix, Techno Lizard etc.
You can also use your name as domains like JohnChow. Do not use a word that is not in the dictionary if you are starting a small blog. It only looks nice for big companies like Google, Yahoo… For a small blogger, combination of 2 letter domain will be the best option.
The last basic need you should fulfill is Look & Design of your blog, its popularly known asTemplate of your blog. The template of your blog should be simple and attractive. Read this post of mine on “Some Tips On Selecting A Blogger Template”
Amanda of Bloggerbuster wrote a book on The Cheat’s Guide To Customize Blogger Templates. You should read it once as it contains all Blogger hacks and ways to customize your Blogger Template.
Till now you are ready with following 4 things
>> Blog Niche
>> Blog Platform
>> Blog Name
>> Blog Template
These were the basic needs of a blog that most of the new blogger never read because they are never told to them.
Use Google Analytics to know about where your visitors come from and how they interact with your site. It will tell you about your unique visitors and daily page views. It is very easy to install. They will give you some code, just enter it in your template and you are done. Then you can use Google Analytics to see your site traffic.

After setting up a blog its time for writing something. Below are some quick tips for writing a post :
1) You always start your post with Title. So always use a title that is attractive and SEO friendly.
2) Your posts should be simple and to the point.
3) Do not use tough English words.
4) Always write a mega post once a week. By mega post I mean that it should be self written and should not be there on Internet before. New bloggers should write articles that you think are the best.
5) Do not copy content from other websites. If you do, always give proper credits. Not giving any credit creates a negative impression on the reader. You should know that you have to impress your readers so that they should visit your blog again.
6) Blogger and Wordpress gives an option of Spell Check, so make sure that there should be nospelling and grammar mistake in your posts. Having any such mistake can irritate the reader.
7) Do not make your posts colorful. Simple and plain post will be highly appreciable than a colorful post. Rather you should use bold, italic and quotes for making for your posts more attractive and easy to read.
Do not write your posts in long paragraphs. Your article should be in points. Use of smileys can make your post interesting. You can use my greasemonkey script to install Smileys into Blogger
9) Always use relevant images to make your post look good.
