The main news that I would like to update my fellow bloggers and friends about Chitika is that they are now slowly trying to spread their share in the non-search advertising segment too.

Chitika have now upgraded all their Chitika Premium ads to Chitika Select. Chitika Select is the recent upgrade to the Advertising module of Chitika. From now on, Chitika will not only display ads for search engine traffic but it will also display ads for some selected non search engine traffic. That is whenever Chitika feels there is a higher chance to receive a click on the ad, then an ad is displayed. This is truely a unique mechanism that Chitika is coming through with.

By default, this is an opt-out system instead of opt-in so all your ads will be using Chitika | Select by default but you can opt out of the Chitika | Select (i.e. both search engine and non search engine traffic targeted ad) and use only Chitika | Premium (only search engine targeted ad). Chitika put this as an opt-out option because of the feedback they had got back from their publishers. 90% of Chitika users wanted non-search engine traffic trageted ads also in Chitika.

Technology Behind Chitika Select

Chitika seems to have done a lot of work and research on the technology they will be using in Chitika Select. As according to them,

We have been conducting HUGE amounts of research over the past 1 year which allows us tremendous amount of insight into how users interact with ads. For example, did you know that IE users are twice as likely to click on an ad as FireFox users? These types of statistical studies are the core of this new predictive technology. This type of analysis is common in other industries such as insurance, credit cards, etc., and now Chitika is bringing that to online advertising. [Note: This new click prediction technology has been running on select publishers on parts of our UK traffic for the last 3 months — the results have been outstanding

They also guarantee highly relevant advertisments somewhat similar to Adsense. This to be seen as time passes by.

This new version of Chitika will also display Image ads like Adsense. You can opt out of the image ads if you want and then only text ads will be displayed in your site. This can be done in your Account Manager. Also you have the option of opting out of Chitika Select and showing only Chitika Premium ads in your site. It completely will depends on you.

You do not need to worry about a ton of ads showing up in your site. Chitika will be implementing select in small number of impressions and gradually increase the impression.

So as a wrap up, I would like to say that this comes as a good news for many people who still do not have their Adsense account approved by Google and for those who want and extra source of income along with adsense.And now seeing this development in Chitika happening, I think in the future if we want we will be able to use Chitika as the sole advertising network for our site.

For those who have not joined Chitika till now you can click here and join. Joining is very easy and free. And if you have been searching for an extra source of income along with adsense then Chitika is the most compatible.

One such plugin is WP Shopping Pages. Many people would want to open up a web store for selling products from amazon or ebay but unfortunately there aren’t many such script which can make such a site. The only one’s that say they can are Turnkey scripts which do not work good as we all know. Also many people would not like to use any other scripts because handling other scripts can be very tough while handling Wordpress is so easy. Wordpress also comes with features like High SEO friendliness, many themes and easy configuration.

So for all those lovers of Wordpress, there is any easy way of making a Web store that too an affiliate store. You will not have to do anything, no coding, no designing. Just install a Wordpress blog and install this plugin, you are done. The only thing you will need to do is SEO and you will be earning lot of money. You will not even need to write long posts to update the blog again and again, just click on the update button and the site or page automatically gets updated

The magical plugin that I am talking about is WP Shopping Pages. WP Shopping Pages is an affiliate store plugin which allows you to enrich and populate your blog with products from Amazon or Ebay or both.

You can make a full fledged niche affiliate store using this plugin or you can add a post or page with all amazon/ Ebay product in your already existing blog. This plugin is compatible with every theme out there.

The best thing about WP Shopping Pages plugin is that it easily and automatically updates your store site or page with products from Amazon/Wordpress. You just need to press a simple update button to populate your store with new products. A 1 seconds task. Another great thing of this plugin is that it is so easily Configurable.

Once you install WP Shopping Pages plugin you will get to see the plugin panel added to your Wordpress Admin Panel

Clicking on it will open the admin panel of the plugin. The admin Panel contains three section, ShoppingPages, Options and Templates.

First up, you will need to go to The Options Page, The Options page will let you change all the plugin options. Basically you will need to add all your Amazon details like Amazon Tracking ID, Amazon Access Key ID, Secret Access Key etc and your Ebay ID. You can fill either Amazon or Ebay if you want or both if you want the products from both sites too appear. (You will need to be signed up to their affiliate programs). You can also set if you want the products to appear as a page or a post in your blog from here.

The templates page allows you to choose the which template you will want to use for the page that is created for the plugin. You an also add a new template by your own self, all the tags that can be used for making the template is given there. You do not need to create a template  since the default templates will do quite good. A template is only for the way the product is displayed, It has nothing to do with your blog theme, you can use this plugin in any template.

ShoppingPages is the place where you can add new pages or post to your site by using  keywords i.e. what kind of products you want to be shown in you page. For example if you want to sell guitar in your site, just enter  Keywords out there (as many as you like). WP Shopping Pages will create a new page or post (as you may have decided in the settings) filled with product for each keyword.For example if you want to insert a page which will sell Laptops than just add Laptop to the big white box out there.  and then click on create pages button out there. You can also specify the page title, the page template, the Amazon options and the Ebay Category here.

Adding multiple keywords will add multiple pages containing products for each mentioned keywords.

Check how the page created by using Wp Shopping Pages looks below

The template grabs the full title, description, specs, rating and list price, as well as a link to buy from Amazon.com and a product review. This is just one template option and you can modify it as you see fit for both Amazon and eBay.

Also, another feature that I would want to mention is that you can easily cloak the affiliate link with the inbuilt cloaking system that comes along with this plugin.

Cool Handle Hosting is a very reputed webhost and is among the top web hosting providers. Many of you may have heard of the name Pronethosting.net, one of the best shared hosting providers. Cool Handle Hosting is the new name and the new avatar of Pronethosting. Actually Cool Handle Hosting was the hosting wing of Moniker (the famous domain name registrar) and then in January 2010, ProNetHosting purchased Cool Handle Hosting from Moniker for some undisclosed amount. After that, in February Pronethosting changed their name to Cool Handle Hosting to provide even more better services.

So to promote their new avatar, Cool Handle Hosting (a.k.a. Pronethosting.net) are giving this exciting, crazy hosting offer. Get yourself hosted at only 9.95$ for the first year.

This plan is highly recommended if you are searching for the perfect host for your Wordpress blogs or any other web application but have not been able to manage the huge amount of money needed at all those big hosting companies. This big company here is giving away a year’s hosting for only $9.95.

You can read more about this offer here or if you want to signup for the offer. Click here

P.S:  You should take not that this offer does not provide free domain unlike the other regular plans. Well this is also cool because you can buy a domain from other domain name registrar and use it at your comfort. Having a domain with the hosting company is a strict no no. Why? Because sometimes you may need to transfer the domain to some other Nameservers or do some DNS changes and it is not possible with the Hosting company’s domains.

Twitter had just crossed the 5 Billion mark only this last November. It is quite amazing to see the rapid increase in the number of tweets. Twitter was able to get to 10 billion only in 4 months after reaching 5 Billion.

According to sources, the 10 billionth tweet tweeted by some protected profile user. So even the Twitter API calls doesn’t allow us to view this update of a protected user. here are the 9999999999 th tweet by @lelamarques and 10000000001 th tweet by @SheSz_FUcINgBAD .

At this rate we can certainly prepare for Twitter crossing the 20 billion mark in the coming 4-5 months.

Last Year too Google quietly got rid of PageRank in Webmaster Tools. Google Webmaster Trends Analyst Susan Moskwa had said, “We’ve been telling people for a long time that they shouldn’t focus on PageRank so much; many site owners seem to think it’s the most important metric for them to track, which is simply not true. We removed it because we felt it was silly to tell people not to think about it, but then to show them the data, implying that they should look at it.”

Here is a video of Google’s Director of Research, Peter Norvig speaking on the topic

here:

Norvig said at SMX today that PageRank is still one thing that is “overhyped,” and that Google never felt that it was such a big factor. They have always looked at all available data, combining every available signal and tiring to figure out the best way to combine them.

Norvig also said that it may be time for some re-branding with regard to PageRank. There may be a different term in the pipeline. “There’s a technical formula that’s PageRank, which is the way of judging the links between pages, and that’s just one component of how we rank the pages and you get your final search results. There’s all these other things that come in, but they don’t have a catchy name. So some people apply PageRank to mean all the components that give you the final ranking, and that’s where we get confused. So probably we need some other term for that…We’ll get some marketing guys on it.”

I don’t know how seriously the company is considering this, as Norvig seems to simply be speaking off the cuff, but given the company’s repeated emphasis on a lack of emphasis on PageRank, it would not be surprising to see them change the name. However, the problem with that could be, that these same PR-obsessed webmasters would just become obsessed with the re-branded term.

Paypal had earlier stated that it will re-continue local bank withdrawal on March 3rd after suspending all withdrawals in India for atleast a month. According to that statement Paypal had also informed the users that from now onwards any Indian user who would want to withdraw to his bank would need an export code for the withdrawal. Since Paypal did not clarify What this Export Code meant many freelancers made a pre assumption that this Export Code was the IEC (Import Export Code) issued by the RBI for Import and Export. Thus this caused a lot of chaos in the Indian Freelancer community since the IEC Code is not easy to acquire.

On March 3rd, Paypal posted a new post in it’s blog and clarified everything about how an Indian should withdraw from Paypal. They also clarified that the Export Code that they were mentioning earlier did not mean the IEC code but instead it was a set of codes that they had made up themeselves so that they can categories what kind of transaction is happening. From now onwards while withdrawing to your bank account you will need to choose a purpose of your withdrawal (i.e. for what have you got the money ) for e.g. Freelance journalism, Hardware Consulting, Software Consulting etc. The whole list of Purposes can be checked here .

The selected purpose will appear as a code on your bank account statement along with the description.

So from now onwards when you withdraw money from Paypal to your bank account be sure to properly enter the purpose as listed so that you may not across any problem in withdrawal.

While on the other hand, those people who had withdrawn during this Paypal chaos, you all do not need to worry. Paypal is going to refund your account until this weekend as they stated.

And well for those who have not join Paypal. Well you should, it is one of the best Payment Processing system out there. Even though it goofs up sometimes, It is the easiest and the most reliable.
