Configuring SES on PhpList – Working

Making Amazon Ses work on phplist was not a piece of cake.

Here are the Complete steps to make SES work on PHPList

  • First you need to install the version  2.11.6 only (Which is a development version and compatible with ses)
  • Then you need to configure the config.php file, with your amazon details. Just add in config.php
define('AWS_ACCESSKEYID','xxx');

define('AWS_SECRETKEY','xxx');

define('AWS_POSTURL','https://email.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/');
  • Also you need to set
define('PHPMAILER',0);
  • Remove the option to send the phplist image in email as ses doesnot support attachment. for this you need to set define(“EMAILTEXTCREDITS”,1);
  • Remember to verify all the emails that you use in the phplist, sender, webmaster, bounce esp to verify your “no-reply” bounce email address.

 

If you miss any of the above steps you will get a message

Luminate Review

For those who don’t know, Luminate is a service which makes your Pictures Interactive. And helps you generate an additional income from your pictures. To know more about it go through ”Luminate – Adsense for Images”.

Initially I was very optimistic after implementing, Luminate on one of my websites which has a lot of pictures. As the Ads showed “ADs by Google” on the Luminate ads, I thought the payout would be as good as Adsense.

But once I implemented it, the Adsense CTR started to go down drastically. But the compensatory income from Luminate was far below the expectations.

Thus the over all income started to go down. So within a few days of implementation of Luminate, I had to remove it from my website.

So for my website it was not beneficial.

Luminate ADs – Earn From Your Images!!

Just a few days back I was looking for an Ad network for images. I had heard about GumGum Ads and already implemented it on my website, but the payout was horribly low.
Moreover it was eating away my Adsense CTR, thereby decreasing my overall income.
So I thought, I will implement only ‘Adsense for Images’ if there is any. Because there is no AD network which pays as good as Google Adsense.
As luck would have it, I found out about Luminate, a Google Ventures investment Company.

And Luminate is much more than just an AD network. It can also be used for affiliate marketing and makes the picture interactive.

I am very excited to implement it on my website now. See me after a few days to get a review about it.

How to transfer WordPress from one host to another?

Let the source server be A and destination server be B

  1. Zip all the files on server A using cPanel
  2. Use SSH access of server B and pull the zipped file to the server B (Use wget)
  3. Unzip it in Public_html folder
  4. Find which database the wordpress installation was using in server A
  5. Using SSH access of server A Dump that Mysql database into the server A using the command mysqldump -u ffj_dbuser -p ffj_dbname > ffj_databasefile.sql
  6. Now move that file from server A to server B using SSH access and wget command
  7. Now login into cpanel of server B and create a new database and add username
  8. Now upush the database .sql file into the newly created database of server B using the command mysql -u USERNAME -p -h localhost DATABASENAME < FILENAME.sql See http://mywebexperience.com/tricks/upload-large-database-to-mysql-in-seconds-using-putty/
  9. Enter the password of database when asked
  10. Go the the wp-config.php file and edit the database details to the new updated ones.
  11. Change the Nameserver of the domain to point to the new server B.
  12. Make a small change in the latest post of the server B database from phpmyadmin just to know that you are seeing the site from the new server and not the old, as dns propogation takes time and may fool us that the site is working fine.
  13. Use hidemyass.com proxy to see the latest version of the site. See if all pages are working. Usually the mainpage loads fine and if others are not then there is a problem with htaccess.
  14. Go to WordPress admin – Settings- permalink and save the same settings again – This recreated an updated Htaccess file.
  15. Go to phpmyadmin of server B and go to wordpress database wp_options and search for the old server username and update them accordingly in all the urls.

Solution is simple…Don’t get involved !!

* Do not open any links from unknown sources claiming to show photos or downloading videos.

* If you recieve any mails from your friends asking you to click any link, just stop and read twice. Is the writing style that of your friend or is it more generic style ? If in doubt, leave it. If your the curious type, then reply back to your friend asking him/her to confirm that this mail was sent by him/her.

* If you are infected or compromised, immediately send mail to all your contacts to avoid the same mistake. It may be possible, once infected, your ID may have been used to lure your friends into the same trap.

Snapnames backorder review

We needed a domain desperately which was already registered by a person in Chennai, India.  We tried contacting him but it was of no use. So we decided to get the domain through backorder because it was near its expiry.  And since the domain already has a Google PR of 4, we knew there may be come competition form Automated bidders.

We searched for the registrar and found that it was registered through

Registrar: Directi Internet Solutions Pvt. Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com (R27-LROR)

Now we were to decide which company to use for backorder. After a little research we found that Snapnames has an exclusive partnership with  Directi Internet Solutions Pvt. Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com (R27-LROR)

So just signed up at Snapnames and setup and backorder. I was told that the minimum bid was 59$ and will have to pay only after the domain is aquired successfully.. and that was good news.

The domain was to expire on 12 March

As days neared I was curesly looking checking the whois to see the status. Also I signed up on domaintools.com for domain monitoring and notification service.

and on 12 march I was shocked to get an email from domaintools.com  and see that the domain was renewed for 1 more year.

I just went to the domain but was bit amused to see only ads and got to know it was parked.

Then i recieved an email after 11 days from snapnames, I was really happy that snapnames is still after the domain, but a bit sad to know that they have increased the initial bit by $30 without any reason.
Dear SnapNames Customer,
Domain name(s) that you have placed a bid on are now scheduled for auction at a starting bid that is greater than your current maximum bid.
In order to win a domain name, the minimum price must be met and your bid must be the winning bid.
Be sure to check on the start day of the auction for the actual start time. Note that if multiple equal bids are received, the first bidder wins the opening bid.

Domain Name Minimum Bid Your Max. Bid Status Approx. Start Date
xxxx.org $89.00 $59.00 Minimum Bid Not Met! Apr. 21,2011 12:00 PDT

 

I am still waiting for April 21 2011 to arrive. It is at this time the domain will be released by ICANN open to public.

How get your Blog Posts at the Top of Google Search?

Most of the new bloggers, after writing the blog post, just sit back and wait for their article to get indexed by Google and show at the top of the searches. Which obviously is not possible unless the article has a very unique topic.

So what do you do next, to get your article at the top of Search?

Below are a few tips, which can be implemented after you post your Blog:

1. Go to Yahoo Answers and write a question related to your post. And then answer it with a different ID and give the link back to your Blog.

2.Write partial article in Hubpages & link back to your Blog for complete article.

3.Submit it to Social Bookmarking websites like : StumbleUpon,Digg,Reddit,Delicious & Mixx.

4.Press the Facebook Like button on your Blog Post.

 

Just as proof for this technique, Search this in Google “high keywords categories” and you will find that, out of the top 4 results, 3 of them belong to MyWebExperience. One is through Hubpages, another through Yahoo Answers and finally the website www.mywebexperience.com itself.

It even bet the top Bloggers like Labnol.com .

So, next time you ever post an article, don’t stop there. The actual marketing work starts from there.

What is Android Market ?

Android is an open source OS ( operating system ) initially developed & now managed by Google. There is a large community of developers who contribute to developing this OS & even larger community who are developing software & application ( apps ) that can run on Android OS. Because of being open source & free, it is attracting many users. Many developers are developing software for Android mobiles and tablets and number of softwares is soon expected to cross the number of softwares on iTunes. The great thing about Android Market is that majority of the softwares are free – some create it for their own use and others for money through Ads. Those apps that charge money, it is very minimal.

Downloading from Android Market is very simple. Just go to the Android Market from you mobile/tablet and logon using your Google id. In case you do not have a Google id you can create one on www.gmail.com .

However, precaution must be taken when downloading apps, as some of them may contain malware to get access to private information from your mobile/tablet which you normally do not want to share.

Using mobile as portable scanner, barcode reader, spy / surveillance camera ; other uses for Android phones

In addition to making calls, todays phones are coming with number additional features. And many times we fail to realise the full potential of these features. The mobile phone camera is one such option. Following are the possible usages of mobile camera:-

Still Photos

Basic – Using mobile phone camera for taking picture of good times. Because you have the mobile with you all the time, you won’t miss any memorable moments. It is suggested to go for 3 megapixel or higher configuration.

Mobile/ Portable Scanner – The camera of the mobile phone can work as an excellent amature scanner. You can take photos of your ID cards, certificates or any other important document you need within seconds. No need for any photocopy machine. Taking photos of you department telephone list, shopping recipts and warranty cards and airline tickets has been beneficial for me many times. And if I like something when I am browsing, I take snap of the computer screen itself.

Witness – Once during hit and run accident, taking a snap at the right time helped me in catching the culprit. I always take photos immediately after any accident.

Barcode scanner – Now a days you get softwares in the Android market which turn your camera into barcode scanners. A good app for this is Barcode Scanner V3.53 & above using which we can get product info.

Coming to video option:

Basic – It can be used as Video Cam to record & share exciting moments instantly with family and friends.

Witness – It can be your witness and proof if some enthical things are happening in your presence. You can turn of the sound and flashlit features for during such operations.

Surveillance / Spy camera – In smart Android phones, you can use them for surveillance by installing the required software in your mobile & desktop/laptop. There are quite a few softwares in the Android market.

Have been using your phone camera in a innovative way, not mentioned here…share with us in comments section below.

GumGum Ads Network – Review

If you want to earn income from your Images, then GumGum is the answer.

Let me share you my  experience with Gumgum on one of my Websites.  

I have a website which contains many images, and I thought of monetizing those images through Gumgum. Even though I had Google adsense implemented on my website. But there was nothing with Adsense to  monetize the images.(Though later I found another Ad network for pictures, which displays Google Ads)

The implementation was also as simple as downloading a plugin. Once downloaded the GumGum Ads will appear on your images automatically.

But when I implemented GumGum on my website, the overall income of the website started to go down. The payouts of GumGum was extremely low compared to Adsense. The Adsense CTR also started to go down.

Finally I had to abandon GumGum and stick with my favourite Google Adsense.

GumGum can be used for those websites, if your Adsense account is blocked.

But still better solution than Gumgum is Pixazza – Google Ads.
