Nowadays, every Tom Dick and Harry is coming up with a blog of his own. In such situations, along with the content, the other important aspect that one needs to think about is his domain name. Let me tell you some small tips regarding that before we move on.

• Your domain name must be as short as possible.
• Always use .com domains rather than .info or .org just because they are cheaper to purchase.
• Try to avoid hyphens and numbers in the domain name.
• The domain name should be pronounceable. Like, ‘google’ is always easier to remember than ‘xzyqp’ right?
• The domain name should be purchased from a known registrar.
• Make a list of the final 3 domains you selected and ask some of your friends which they liked the most.

You can follow the tips given above, but the question is how to find great domain names? You can always put your brain to work for finding good domain names. But then, why not make the use of tools already available that will simplify your need of a domain name? Let me show you some awesome tools for the same.

If you are one of those who loves chatting and making friends online, there are a few things that you need to be careful about in these days of cyber crime. With hacking becoming a rampant problem, your past chats can reveal a lot of your personal details. To ensure that you don’t fall into any such trap try to keep the following points in mind.

• Never Reveal Your Financial Details

You could be chatting online about money matters, but ensure that you never reveal any money related details. Be it your account number, credit/debit card number or your PIN umber, do not reveal these things on chat.

• Don’t Add Just About Anyone To Your List

Don’a add people in your chat list just to have a long list of friends. Know the person a bit before adding him/her. Check out the mutual friends if possible and get details about the “to-be friend” before adding.

• Be Careful In Chat Rooms

Chat rooms are one of the best places to interact with people around the world. But do understand that there are strangers lurking around there so you gotta be careful and think twice on what you are saying.

• Be Polite But Not Over-Friendly

If someone pings you, it’s customary to say “Hi!” and have a small chat with them. But make sure you don’t get over-friendly. Don’t promise to meet them or be their best buddy. If someone suggests you to meet him/her in the first chat itself, you do have to block button to your rescue

• Don’t Use Profanities

While gossiping online is very much in, don’t use profanities when in a chat room. Saying nasty things about other people is known as “flaming” in cyberspace. You can be blocked from further discussions in the chat due to such reasons.

• Watch What You Say

Some organisations get experts to keep a tab on their employees chats. Maybe it’s not a good idea to gossip about office politics or back-stabbing your boss. Keep it for conversations over a coffee with friends at some cafe.

• No Expectations

The basic rule of chatting is that don’t expect anything if you are chatting with a stranger. You don’t know the person on the other end, so don’t expect him/her to be funny, witty or sensitive. The conversation might lead to a friendship or a fight. Don’t get hurt if someone doesn’t want to be your friend and ignores you or blocks you. Be open minded and chat with the people who accepted you as a friend

As you might have known, one of the tools to rate a website other than the traffic is PageRank. In fact, if you try to sell a website with high quality content but no PageRank, you will find it hard. Now, many of my friends do ask me on how to get a good PageRank. I will answer that in this post. Many webmasters can afford to pay or do backlinking on their own but don’t know where to start. One of the simplest ways for increasing PR is dofollow blog commenting.

If you don’t know what is dofollow blog commenting, let me try to explain that to you. Blogspot based blogs have rel=”nofollow” attribute set as default. If such attribute is set, the commentor on his blog won’t have any effect on his page rank. Only his time will get wasted. There are many bloggers who care for others and using plugins, turn the attribute to “dofollow”. Such blogs are knows as “dofollow blogs”.

Yeah, now the question you must be thinking is, how do I find these dofollow blogs? I will share a few tips to find such blogs.

• DoFollow Search Engines like CommentHunt and EzBusinessNeeds
• DoFollow Directories like DoFollowBlogs and DoFollowBlogsList
• Lists on forums and SEO websites like DigitalPoint and Courtneytuttle
• Google for phrases like THIS!
• Find images on Google by using phrases like “U Comment”, “I Follow” or “U Comment I Follow”
• Use advanced search syntax like “inurl:ucomment” and “inurl:ifollow”

Some More Tips On Commenting :

Now you have learnt the basics of increasing PR. Here are some tips on commenting :

• Never spam dofollow blogs with lots of spam comments. The owners of such blogs who change to “dofollow” are generally strict and will categorize your comments as spam.
• If those webmasters complain to Google and report your site as spam, Google will penalize your website and you wouldn’t surely get a PR update. In worse cases, your Adsense may also get suspended.
• So, on a safer side, just make 3-5 comments on any given day. Not more, not less.
• Leave comments on all types of blogs, it doesn’t matter if it has a PR 6 or a PR 0.
• Your comment has to look natural. Always put your website link in the box provided for giving your website and not in the text box. Such comments will be regarded as spam and will be edited before publishing. The box provided for adding your name must have your real name and not something that spams your website.

Hope this post helped you, keep the comments flowing in

Majority of us have seen some gadget or other on some website that we just love and drool for many minutes over it. But there is a slight problem, a problem of money. But today I am going to show you guys a site that will give you every gadget you can think about, from Apple iPhones to Playstations to Digicams and even hard cash. WinMeAuctions is the site where you can get high quality products. The best thing here is that you can get those mind blowing gadgets at just 1% of the market price. It just depends on how you lay your tactics and how quick you bid for it.

WinMeAuctions is different from other bid websites. The method is simple, you need to buy bid packages (there are different packages at different prices). I just purchased a package with 175 credits at a damn cheap price. After purchasing the required bids, one can bid on any item on the homepage. Every bid increases the time counter by 10 seconds. If you are lucky to be the final bidder when the clock becomes 0, you win the product.

When I was writing this review, 30 free bids were won by Kayrajmu while Zellax was lucky to win a Dell Studio Laptop.

But the question in your mind will surely be, is this a scam? Well, only thing I can show you is this. This definitely doesn’t seem to be scam since they are earning great amounts from the biddings. For example, a product which sells for 6.93 rupees converts to 693 bids. And if we take an average of 30 rupees per bid (from the packages), 20,790 rupees. So after the cost of the laptop (Rs 16,000), they get a cool profit of 4,000 rupees. Isn’t that great for both, the bidder as well as the site admin?

Well, to tell you the truth, this isn’t any trick but just a image to LOL about. Well, if you came here really looking for a trick, then I am sorry to say but it is impossible to watch videos offline since you need to buffer videos. For those who have come here just to have a hearty laugh, lets continue.

FarmVille is the new craze in town, literally. According to October 2009 statistics, 56.1 million users have been playing this game. I too play it coz it’s kinda fun. But now in the higher stages, it takes a long time to reach the next level. This is when everyone starts looking for every small hint or cheat available. I had Googled up for cheats but was disappointed to see the content. So, I thought of looking out for cheats all by myself. And I ain’t disappointed, I have found 2 great cheats

1) Getting Free Cash And Expreience

This trick won’t give you much cash but is gonna give good experience. On the neighbors toolbar, click any 1 of your neighbors and select Visit/Help Neighbor. When the page is still loading (i.e before you are transferred to the neighbor’s farm), keep clicking the neighbor and select Visit/Help. Once you visit the farm, you will get some random tasks like removing leaves, driving away foxes, etc. Do it once, and you will again get a popup for another task. The more times you click Visit/Help when the page is loading, the more number of tasks will you get. Each time, you will receive a bonus of 20 coins  5 EXP How’s that for increasing the level quickly?

Click On Visit/Help As Many Times As Possible!

This Is My Fast Task On Neighbors Farm!

Second Task On Same Neighbor! Yeah, Cool

Similarly, I did about 4 tasks on each neighbor. Look, in each screenshot, my experience is increasing

2) How To Plow/Harvest/Seed The Faster Way!

Till I reached the mid-20’s level in FarmVille, I used to get a level increase almost everyday. Pocket being stuffed with coins, I increased my farm size to the maximum. That’s when the problem started. I had to dedicate about 45 minutes daily to FarmVille and I didn’t have much time. Now due to this awesome trick I found, it will cut your time to hardly 10 minutes. Happy Farming Buddies

First, take your farmer to such a place that he is enclosed on all four sides. In my screenshot, I have enclosed him in a rather large place.

Have Eclosed In The Big Open Space In The Center!

Trapped In A Box

Once you trap him, just keep on clicking on the fields to plow/seed and harvest easily and quickly

Hello readers! I had made a tutorial for the same sometime back but many people complained that it was a bit hard and they felt it impossible. So I have come to their rescue and now will teach you’ll how to create a simple site with Wordpress installed in it. Hopefully, it will solve your doubts too. Also, this time I will be giving screenshots too. So enjoy guys!

Domain :

In very simple terms, domain is the address of your website. So while choosing a domain, be sure to have a one people will tend to remember. Try to avoid numerals and hyphens in your URL, it will be more difficult to remember. Now, there are primarily 3 types of domains;

1. Top Level Domain (TLD) (Paid)

A Top Level Domain (TLD) is the highest level of domains available. These are paid domains and can be purchased from registrars. They have a better SEO (Search Engine Optimization) than the other domains and are generally prefered for good websites. Buying a domain reflects that it is a worthwhile site and naturally, you will get better traffic than others. For purchasing one, just head to any of the registrars like Godaddy, Name and NameCheap among others. Preferred payment options are Credit/Debit Cards or through PayPal.

Tip : Before buying a domain, do Google up for coupon codes. You can purchase domains for cheaper rates using these codes. If you go for premium hosting (to be covered later), you may get a free domain.

2. Free Domain (Free for private use)

Free domains are generally used by upcoming bloggers and website owners. You can get yourself a free domain from co.cc or .tk (I prefer the 1st one). These domains are mostly free unless you want a premium domain name or want to use the domain for business purposes.

Tip : If you can afford $1, then you can get .info which is a TLD.

3. Subdomain (Free with hosting account)

When you register for a free host, you generally get a free domain. These ones should be avoided as you can easily get a free domain as mentioned above. Not much to say here.

Registering For A Host :

Now once you have the domain, you need to put the files that the visitors to your website can see. So you need a hosting for that matter. Now there are 2 types of hosts, Premium and free. Free hosts have a set of limitations in place which stop you from getting the maximum benefits. But since you are a beginner in this, I suggest you to stick to free ones for some time. When looking for a host, NEVER look at the bandwidth and the space given, but look for reliability. When I had just started blogging about a year back, I had made this mistake and my website was down for most of the time.

Good free hosts include x10hosting and freehostia. But before going for a host, ask your friends or Google for reviews about that host and issues regarding it. Once you sign up for the host, you get something called as cPanel. I suggest you to avoid hosts that give VistaPanel. After signing up for any of the hosts, follow the method mentioned below.

Adding Nameservers :

In simple words, I can define nameservers as the settings in the domain that show the domain the path to the hosting. Nameservers are generally in the format :

NS1.[YOURHOST].COM

NS2.[YOURHOST]COM

So suppose you use x10hosting, just use the following:

NS1.X10HOSTING.COM

NS2.X10HOSTING.COM

Some hosts have upto 4 nameservers but there is no problem if your host has just 2.

Where to add nameservers?

To add nameservers, login to the website from where you took your domain and go to edit nameservers.

If you have gone for a free domain (co.cc) then you should add your nameservers as mentioned below:

I have purchased my TLD’s from Name, so here is the screenshot for that :

Now that you are done editing the nameservers, we need to add the domain in the host. For that you need to login to your cPanel and click on addon domain.

Now login to the cPanel and click on Addon Domains and add your domain. After adding, we now have to add files to it.

Making A Website :

Now, this is the main step of the tutorial. After you have added the domain, we need to add files to the website. You have 2 options here, either code yourself or upload already coded websites (known as CMS). I suggest you go for Wordpress because it is easy to use and can be modded to any level. For experts, I suggest Joomla.

For adding Wordpress to your domain, there are 2 methods;

1-> Automatic

I suggest you use this method. Go to your cPanel and click on Fantastico Deluxe.

2-> Manual Method (If You Don’t Have Fantastico) :

In case your cPanel doesn’t have Fantastico, then you can use the manual method. In this method, you need to download Wordpress from here and and upload this inside the website directory in the File Manager. You will find File Manager in the cPanel.

You can follow this tutorial if you want to try the manual mode.

Done Setting Up! Now What?

Now that you have setup the domain, just login to your admin panel. The URL will be yourdomain.com/wp-admin. In this tutorial, I used Fantastico and this is the website I got. This is the admin login area. The website is now setup. Just login and start posting.

How To Enhance The Interface Of My Blog?

The basic blog is generally boring and you won’t get many raised eyebrows. So, the first thing you need is themes. Head on here and download whichever theme you like. Upload these themes to wp-content/themes in the File Manager. Other method is to directly get themes installed from the admin panel. For this, click on the Appearance tab and then on the Add New Themes sub-tab.

After the themes, there are some essential plugins you must have. Don’t worry about that, I have already simplified it for you. Just check out this post and download them all

Howdy readers!

Iam Djds4rce aka Dayanand and the newest author to iTechYou. My hobbies are web devolopement and WebCMS so i’ll be mostly concentrating on tips regarding that.

When I started out as a developer the major problems i faced was of the domain and a free web host.And it is still the case in almost all start out prodigies. As I did not want to invest money so early and also did not want a subdomain for website I was in search of something proish. Here’s what I found.

Free host:Initially, when starting out on a blog/website there is no problem of bandwidth. Bandwidth is nothing but how many times your websites can be viewed(just an idea).Webhosts usually provide bandwidth/month. In the start as you have no much visitors there is no need to worry and hence go for a free host. Now which  free host do i choose? This is totally a matter of personal choice. I used freehostia.com which did not get me any problems. There are many others which you can google up or ask your webdevoloper friends. Once u have chosen a free host its time to think of the domain name.

Free Domain:A blog or a website a long link like aaa.freehostia.com or something similar is the last thing you want.What to do to get a short and sexy domain?  Head to http://www.co.cc.Now let me explain how it works.Co.cc provides domians with names like djds4rce.co.cc for free and it charges money for domains with more demand like tech.co.cc. Once registered the domain can be used to redirect to your site (which is something like aaa.freehostia.com) or you can use it as an actual domain. DO to the DNS settings in your co.cc control panel and copy the DNS server link provided by ur host and tada we have got ourself a free host +free domain short and sweet

Note:

1.Once you have gained enough traffic and you think you are ready for some investment you can either upgrade to a paid account or shift to some other paid host.

2.If any point of time you feel you need an actual domain (.com or .net) the co.cc domain can be used to redirect to your present domain so you dont lose any traffic.

Watch out for my next post i’ll write about setting up a CMS and on how to manage a proish Blog/Portal/Forum etc…

Various Categories of web document

Static Document:

Static document are nothing but just a static content that reside in the server, and a copy of the static content is sent to client browser upon the request by the client. The content of static document is determined when they are created. The copy sent by the server is destined to be interpreted by the browser not by humans. The client can have the privilege of seeing the data, and he does not hold any privilege for modifying content, unless he has access to the document located at the server.

Dynamic Pages:

Dynamic page does not exist in a predefined format; instead they are created by a web server, when a client requests the server through the browser. The server takes some input from the client and then creates an output according to the client request. Again the output from the server is not destined to be interpreted by humans. They are destined to be interpreted by your web browser. The output may vary from user to user, depending upon the input. Common Gateway Interface (CGI) is used for creating and handling dynamic web documents. CGI is not a programming language. It is just a set of rules. Using those set of rules a programmer may write a dynamic web page using the traditional C language, C++, Bourne Shell, Tcl or PERL.

Active document:

For most of the applications we need a program to be running at the client side, for interacting with users. One common example could be, JAVA APPLET, FLASH content, which is also a dynamic content. An active content is stored in the form of binary code in the server side. When ever a client request an active content, it is transferred in the binary form, even we can store the active content, so that we need not request the same data, once again. Since the active content is transferred in the compressed form, both the transmission time and bandwidth are reduced.
