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 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.

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.

DM-BFAC SMS Scams- Be careful!

Just today I received a message on my mobile “CONGRATS {my_number} has WON $3000 CASH prize, call  +2463798153  now”.

At the first instance I was really happy, but a second thought over the message made me think of its veracity. Then immediately I went to the most searched place in the world, Google Search and put the query.

I got the answer immediately that this a scam message from an island near Nigeria. And the charges of calling the number is also very high, nearly Rs.50/- per minute.

If at all you get any such kind of messages or emails, be careful. Never give your personal information and its always best to check  in Google Search, before taking any action.

How to write posts/blogs, when you run out of Ideas?

 

If you are running out of ideas and don’t know what to blog, don’t worry Google has the answer.

During the course of the day, you will search numerous things in Google. For example, looking for a new ‘plug-in’ or ‘how to resolve an error’ etc. That means basically you have an issue or problem for which you use Google to get the solution.

And remember if you are facing a problem, its very much possible that someone else is facing it too. So, how beneficial it would be to others if you write a blog about it? Pretty much, ofcourse.

Fortunately, Google has a feature known as “Web History” in its search engine, which can be used if you make searches by logging in with your Google Account. You can use your day’s searches to write a blog post about it.

How to post blogs through emails?

So, how do you post via email? The best & the most powerful plugin for this work is ‘Postie’.  You can see the details in Postie Site.

Postie offers many advanced features for posting to your blog via e-mail, including the ability to assign categories by name, included pictures and videos, and automatically strip off signatures. It also has support for both imap and pop3, with the option for ssl with both.

How to Mass edit pictures without using Adobe Photoshop?

Just a few days back, I wanted to edit multiple pictures for a post. Actually I wanted to resize them all to fit into the WordPress screen.

So, I went to the natural source Google and searched for mass photo editing. All the search results gave Adobe Photoshop as the answer. And of course Photoshop it is a very powerful tool for editing multiple/single photos. But, I was feeling a bit stingy, so did not go for it. And I didn’t wanted to use the cracked version, as my conscience did not accept it.

Luckily, one of my close friends came to know about my problem, and he solved it in such an easy way that I felt embarrassed not knowing about it. Then i thought why not share it with others and help them avoid being in the same situation as I was.

What he suggested me was just right click on any one of the photos which you want to edit and click ‘open with’ —-Microsoft Office Picture Manager. Once you open it, then go to the left side of the toolbar and click “Thumnail view” icon. Once you click it, all the pictures will show in a single window as thumbnails, provided all the pictures you want to edit are in the same folder. Once you get to the thumbnail view, Press CTRL A to select all the pictures and click “Edit Picture” on the toolbar. Then you will get all the options to Crop,Resize,Compress etc whatever you want to do with the pictures.

Once you are done, just click ‘Save’ and Bingo!!! All your files are edited in a single shot, without using Photoshop.

Please try it and share your experiences.

How to extract Images from PowerPoint Presentations

If you want to extract images from a PPT, first you have to check whether the file is in .ppt or .pps extenstion.

If it is .pps extension, just click once on the name of the file and change its extension into .pps. While changing it a pop-up will come which says “If you change a file name extension, the file might become unusable.  Are you sure you want to change it?”

Don’t worry about this just change it. I will take the responsibility if anything happens to your file…hehe..just kidding. Nothing will happen.

Once you change the extension to .ppt, open the file, go to the Menu bar and click ‘Save As’ —-”Other Formats”.

Then a pop-up will come, and when you click on “Save as type” , a drop-down of list of extensions will come. Then choose the extension as .jpg , then each slide in the PPT will be converted into an Image and will be saved in a new folder created next to your PPT.

How to Embed PowerPoint/Slides in your posts

If you want to embed PowerPoint presentations in your posts you have to go to www.slideshare.net and create an account.

Once you create an account you can upload your presentations onto the website. The website will give you two options “Upload publicly” or “Upload privately”.

If you want to upload something which is private and you do not want to share it with others you will have to go for “Upload privately” which unfortunately is paid. And you have to become a Pro.

But if you don’t mind making your presentation Public go for “Upload Publicly” which is free. Once you upload your presentation, the website will give you an HTML code for your presentation. Once you get the Html code you can embed it in your post as any normal embedding of YouTube videos is done.

Try it and if you have any issues feel free to get back to me.
