My First ReviewMe.com Payment!

Posted by Web Freak in Blogging, Make money

Well, I never knew much about ReviewMe.com, But only Until I tried them myself after recommendation from a goood friend :D

The payment was quite fast, they say that the payments of november are processed and paid out on 1st – 4th December, They also promised that 4th December would be the last date (100%)..

And, I got the payment on 1st December itself, It was really amazing!

So here is the PayPal Proof:

We are not charged even 1 cent for the payment as feed because they send payments via Mass Pay which is a payment of salaries, etc. to huge amount of users.. So its really good to be a part of ReviewMe now..

I have also applied for SponsoredReviews.com, Will let you all know how it is :)

Keep reading and Happy Blogging

After a huge post about Top Commentators , I have thought about posting about the best Plugin which gives this feature… You can set the number of reset days, no-follow or do-follow links, hyperlink or not, number of characters etc.

This is the one I have switched to right now to Provide Do-Follow to my commentators, It was nofollow earlier..

Download it from: Here

Thanks to Navjot Singh who gave me the authors link :)

5 Golden WordPress Plugins That Help Increase Comments

Posted by Web Freak in Blogging

Many bloggers want more comments and readers, this post will help you increase your comments if you feel your blog is really good..

  1. Show Top Commentators: This is the best plugin for adding link love to your commentators, it displays the number of comments by an user and the website of his, you can reset the count weekly, daily, monthly etc.
  2. Brian’s Threaded Comments: This plugin adds a ‘Reply to this comment’ link to every comment. When you use the reply link, your comment is placed directly under the comment you replied to. This plugin helps increase comments, makes it easy for people to reply to comments and prevents readers from scrolling down to look for answers to their questions. Many (good) blogs use this, even I use it
  3. Subscribe to Comments: This plugin allows commenters on your blog to check a box before commenting and get e-mail notification of further comments. This encourages readers to come back and take part in the conversation.
  4. Comment relish: This plugin sends a thank-you email to your blog’s first time commentators. This encourages them to come back again and comment regularly.
  5. Link Love: This plugin turns off nofollow for all commenters who have made at least 10 comments. The number of comments is configurable by changing a variable in the plugin.

More to be added soon, or you all can also contribute by commenting :)

Wordpress 2.6.3 EASY Upgrade Guide

Posted by Web Freak in Blogging

So are you annoyed by the message in your dashboard about “WordPress 2.6.3 is available! Please update now.” ?

WordPress 2.6.3 upgrade was made available by development team few days ago, and for me.. Being a Web Freak, I have to take the responsibility that my readers do not face difficulties while upgrading, so here is what I have:

This upgrade is really simple and involves changes to just one file – class-snoopy.php and update to version.php file to reflect the upgrade. In this article I will show couple ways you can use to simplify the process and ensure secure blog.

Upgrade Using WordPress Automatic Upgrade Plugin

I have tested upgrade from 2.6.2 and 2.6.1 to the latest 2.6.3 version using this plugin and entire process was smooth and completely painless.

Highly recommended you install WordPress Automatic Upgrade plugin and save yourself a lot LOT and LOT of trouble! Just don’t forget to always create your own backup and don’t rely on built in function that comes with this plugin.

Always Backup First – Upgrade Second!

Manual Upgrade Using FTP

this is the most common form of upgrade and since this version only requires upload of 2 files – it is also very simple to do.

I have tested the process on about 4 of my blogs with no issues. And here is how:

  1. Download the 2 files that need to be updated on your blog. Dev blog provides direct links to those files.
  2. Use FTP client to connect to your host and navigate to /path/to/blog/wp-includes/ directory.
  3. Upload the 2 files: class-snoopy.php and version.php to wp-includes directory on your blog.
  4. Login to your blog and verify that upgrade is reflected by version on the bottom of your blog.

How to make your Wordpress Blog a DO-FOLLOW

Posted by Web Freak in Blogging

If you have installed wordpress freshly on your blog then it is a No-Follow from the start.

If you want people who comment on your blog to get indexed then there are two ways to make your blog into a Do-Follow Blog.

1) Upgrading with a Plugin

Download dofollow.php.txt, Rename it to dofollow.php from dofollow.php.txt, Upload it in your wp-contents/plugins directory and then login to your wp-admin and go to plugin settings page and enable this plugin :)

2) Upgrading Manually

Upgrading manually is risky, I am not responsible if there is any harm caused to your blog. Make a backup of your blog and try this.

In “wp-includes/comment-template.php” search for the line

$return = “<a href=’$url’ rel=’external nofollow’>$author</a>”;

and replace it with this:

$return = “<a href=’$url’ rel=’external’>$author</a>”;

Done, Your blogs a Do-Follow now, Even my Blog is a Do-Follow, So keep commenting ;)

Thanks, Apoorv
