Creating Blogspot "Read more" style (expandable) post

2008-05-24T10:07:00.000-07:00

In Blogspot, by default, posted article always shown in full text line from beginning to the end. That's really make your blog design look annoying when your post is too long, as you see in most of my post in my blog.

After doing some little research, finally I found the answer and solution for this problem. Thanks' to Blogspot Official Help.

Here is the quick step to do :

Add tags to your posts to mark which parts you want hidden in the summary version.

Add CSS declarations to your template to hide those sections on the index and archive pages, but not on post pages

With this trick, you can choose to display an arbitrary amount of text from the beginning of each post, as a teaser for the whole thing. Then users who want to read the rest of the post can click a link to see the full text. This is handy if you have lots of long articles all on one page. Note that you'll need to have post pages enabled in order to make this feature work.

There are three ingredients that go into this feature: conditional CSS, a "read more" link for each post, and a modification for the posts that use this feature. So let's go through it step by step.
Conditional CSS

We're going to use conditional tags to change how posts display on different pages. Add the following code to your style sheet, depending on what kind of template you have:

(for classic templates)

<MainOrArchivePage>
  span.fullpost {display:none;}
</MainOrArchivePage>

<ItemPage>
  span.fullpost {display:inline;}
</ItemPage>

(for layouts)

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'>
  span.fullpost {display:inline;}
<b:else/>
  span.fullpost {display:none;}
</b:if>

Your style sheet is usually near the top of your template, between the

<style>

and

</style>

tags. If you have your style sheet in a separate file, you'll still need to add these lines in your template, so the conditional tags will work. Just make sure you add in the <style> tags around them.

What we did here was to define a class called "fullpost" that will appear only on post pages (permalinks). Part of each post will use this class, as we'll see later.
"Read More" Links

Add the following code to your template, somewhere after the <$BlogItemBody$> or <data:post.body/> tag:

(for classic templates)

<MainOrArchivePage><br />
  <a href="<$BlogItemPermalinkURL$>">Read more!</a>
</MainOrArchivePage>

(for layouts)

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != "item"'><br />
  <a expr:href='data:post.url'>Read more!</a>
</b:if>

This link will only appear on the main page and archive pages, and it will redirect your reader to the post page containing the full text of your post. You can replace the "Read more!" text with whatever you like, of course.
Post Modifications

The final piece that we need is a little bit of code in your actual post. Each post that you want to use this feature on will need this code:

<span class="fullpost"></span>

This part can actually go in the post template, if you don't want to have to type it for each post. You'll enter the summary text outside the span tags and the remainder inside, like so:

Here is the beginning of my post.

<span class="fullpost">

And here is the rest of it.

</span>

Now, when a reader visits your blog, this post will appear like this:

Here is the beginning of my post.
Read more!

When they click the link, they'll go to the post page where they'll see the whole thing:

Here is the beginning of my post. And here is the rest of it.

HMLFund www.hmlfund.com

2008-05-24T02:03:00.000-07:00

Principal is returned in the 21st week.
Level Deposit Amount Payout
Fund C: 7% Weekly 750.00 - Unlimited 7.00%

Here are information i got from the site :

What is HML Fund, and why is it important to me?
HML Fund packages hard money loans for commercial real estate investors. A hard money loan is far more attractive than most conventional loans because it allows the borrower a great deal of flexibility during negotiation, saves them weeks worth of time, and vastly increases the number of potentially profitable deals they can close. Of course, all of these benefits come with associated costs, which is good for us... and now it's good for you too!

Our hard money loans are disbursed very quickly, usually within 5 days of the borrower's request. These loans are packaged at very high interest rates ranging from 15% to 50%, and are originated at a much higher than normal point cost, typically 5 points and sometimes as high as 12 points. All of these loans are very short term, designed mainly to give the borrower the leverage they need at a moments notice. As you can see, lending hard money is an extremely profitable business. And now, through HML Fund, you can have your money working for you in this lucrative industry.

Here's how it works:
Through our new website, HML Fund is now packaging our higher risk loans by utilizing pooled funds of outside investors (that's you). By using this method for our higher risk loan originations, we are mitigating our own risk accross several groups of financiers by utilizing the power of crowd-based funding. What this means for you is MUCH higher rates of return on your money than any other conventional savings program, and even higher than most moderately aggressive market investments. We have initially decided to launch this fund to the "High Yield" community of online investors because of their natural gravitation towards risk-based portfolio growth.

As with any opportunity of this nature, we strongly advise you to educate yourself about the risks involved if you haven't yet, and have a solid plan for your available capital. Please read the disclaimer available at the bottom of this site as well.

Keep in mind, we are in the commercial loan business, NOT the Internet marketing business. HML Fund does NOT spend deposited funds on deceitful and ineffective marketing shams, such as monitor sites, autosurfs, or bulk(SPAM) email lists. Only enough to raise awareness and provide stability for the fund is spent on marketing efforts.

Affiliate Marketing - Doesn't Get Any Better Than This by Daniel Taylor

2007-08-17T07:41:00.000-07:00

Affiliate marketing is a very, very easy concept.

Unlike a lot of business concepts, you don't need to be well versed in business terminology. In fact understanding affiliate marketing is so simple, a caveman can do it.

The Definition:

Revenue sharing between online advertisers/merchants and online publishers/salespeople, whereby compensation is based on performance measures, typically in the form of sales, clicks, registrations, or a hybrid model.

Complicated right?

Well actually it's quite simple. I'll give you an example. Let's say you wanted to open a store to sell computers. You look into your bank account and realize you don't have sufficient start-up capital. Not to mention the countless hours you don't have to spare on research and planning.

Well now with affiliate marketing you can check online and see who has an online computer store. Now you can agree to bring customers to that online store for a set commission for every customer that purchases an item.

That means you don't have to worry about the headache of starting the business. The only thing you have to do is advertise anyway you can think of to drive sales to the online computer company.

Now there are advantages to being an affiliate

1. Don't have to worry about the hassle of precise business planning. 2. No start-up cost 3. Don't have to worry about customer satisfaction 4. Don't have to worry about inventory or shipping. 5. Don't have to worry about paying a web designer or site maintenances

Now do you see why it makes a lot more sense to become an affiliate? Your job is to drive traffic to the website, and make commission if the customer you refer buy's anything. This way your profit is maximized.

There will be some overhead cost, but very low. You will just need to pay for online advertising, and maybe web hosting fee's, which shouldn't run you much

How to Make Affiliate Marketing Successful

There are critical key points you must know in order to be successful as an affiliate marketer. This is a multimillion dollar industry, and there is plenty of money to go around. Follow the secrets and strategies you read in this book and you will be amongst the top affiliate marketers.

One thing to remember is that this is not a "get rich quick" deal. You still have to put forth the effort just like in any other business. Your main focus should be on advertising.

Here are a few tips that will make you successful at affiliate marketing.

1. Dedication - Treat this like it's your 9-5. Know in your mind this is what you want to do, and you want to make lots of money doing it. 2. Never get lazy - The main reason people are unsuccessful with affiliate marketing is laziness. After spending a few hours reading good information, they are just too lazy to put the information to use. 3. Be Persistent - If a tactic you tried isn't working. Try another tactic to increase your revenue, but NEVER give up.

If you can do these three things I just listed, you are one of the people that will be an affiliate marketing success.

Show me the money!!!

On average how much are affiliates out there really making?

Simply put, most affiliates aren't making the amount money they can live comfortably off of, but don't be discouraged. I will show you the pitfalls most affiliates fall into, and how to avoid them.

I spent a lot of time researching why some affiliates earn around $50,000 or more per month and others make a few dollars here and there.

Well from my findings it's very simple.

The easiest way for me to explain it is to compare it to bodybuilding.

Now when I would go to the gym I'd see a lot of guys who were small in size (not very buff). The next year 98% of those guys were still not much bigger than they were a year ago. Only about 2% of those guys were 2-3 times their size from the previous year.

So why is this? Well the answer simply put is work ethic and focus. The 98% of the guys over that year came in and out on no steady plan, worked out here and there, and most of all didn't focus on there workout.

So what about the other 2%? Well those guys I saw in there every other day working hard, and focusing on their goal. And the next year their goals were achieved.

Do you get what I'm saying? Everyone one has the potential to make massive earnings with affiliate marketing. It's up to the person whether they are going to be in the top 2%, or the 98% who don't put forth a valid effort.

Realize results vary, and fluctuate all the time, so you have to keep with it, and I guarantee you will be successful in the long run.

Optimizing Google Adsense For Better Performance and More Money!

2007-08-17T07:23:00.000-07:00

By: Martin Lemieux

So you want to make money with Google Adsense? I don't blame you, who doesn't want residual income! This article will show you how to better optimize Google Adsense to make more money from your web site(s)...

Before we get into it, learn more about Google Adsense here:
http://www.google.com/services/adsense_tour/

First and foremost is: Positioning

Where you position your Adsense link boxes and banner ads is extremely important. Trying to make money from the bottom of your pages within your website just won't cut it. You need to add your Adsense links right in the heart of your template or right in the heart of your content. I would personally suggest both actually.

Adding Adsense in the heart of your template:

Link Units:

Since the introduction of Google Adsense "link units", we can now add what looks like a "menu system" to compliment our menu system within our website. This is HUGE. Have you ever just clicked on a website and kept clicking on the menu links? I know we all have. By adding a "Google link units" to your menu, you will get more clicks than you thought possible. Try adding the link units near the top for better performance and try creating your link units to match the color of your menu system in place. Once in a while I find myself clicking on a menu link unit without even realizing it which in turn gives more money to the website owner.

Leaderboards & Skyscrapers:

These may very well be your "bread & butter". I only say this because of the sheer size of these ads units. The best place to add these ad units is obvious; Straight across the very top of your website (leaderboards), and straight down the side of your template (skyscrapers). Anywhere else may not look proper within your template and may look unprofessional.

Square & Rectangle Ad Units:

These are great to compliment the mass amount of content within your website and also within your recommended resources. You want to compliment your content, you don't want Adsense to BE your content because this will look poor on your part. Adsense is very popular with webmasters; who doesn't want to make some extra money. However, don't forget that many of your visitors are also used to seeing Adsense within a website, and need a good reason to click on them.

Square and rectangular units are great to use within articles posted on your website or within your link resources. Try adding your Adsense boxes above your resource links within a page to give your Adsense account that added extra exposure.

Just remember that Google allows up to 3 ad units per page. Using these 3 strategies will help to better optimize Adsense for positioning! Let's now go onto targeting...

Optimizing Adsense: Taking out non-related ads!

Do you ever wonder how ads like "business card specials" ever get displayed on to your website when your company content is all about baby clothing? Since the introduction of "Adwords Site Targeting", we now have to keep an eye on the ads being displayed on our website(s). Companies may now specifically target your website for more exposure. There is no restriction whether the website is content related or not, just more marketing exposure for the advertiser.

Filtering Adsense Advertisers:

Within your Adsense manager, you have the option of using the "Competition Filter" which allows us to remove certain websites from the ads being displayed regularly. This is going to be an on-going optimization task in the future. Without filtering the ads being displayed within your website, you might find yourself with ads unrelated to your industry and possibly some ads that have a negative effect within your site.

If you don't remove all the unwanted ads being displayed on your website, you might end up hurting your Adsense performance online. The more targeted you can get your Google Adsense ads to display on each page, the better your chances at being able to make more money. Try to take a moment every week to study the ads being displayed on your website.

Open up a note pad, or word document and record all the websites you don't want to be displayed anymore. Add these sites to your "filter list" within your Adsense account.

Remember to add the website (within your filter list) like so: smartads.info - without the www. Adding anything after or before the url will only prevent the company from displaying one of their many ads like so (www.site.com/ads/1.html). This way you stop anything from the entire website from showing up within your Adsense campaign online. The more you optimize your Adsense filter, the better your performance will pick up and the less non-related ads will be displayed on your website.

One constant that holds true with Adsense:

The more pages you have with your Adsense campaign being displayed, the more you WILL make. People who have online networks immediately can profit from Google Adwords because they have the power to add their Adsense boxes & banners onto multiple websites, possibly 1000's of pages.

Should you add Adsense to your website?

If you own a small company that has a brochure type website that gets maybe 50-100 visitors a day, I recommend NOT adding Adsense to your site. It will never make enough money with that kind of traffic. Remember: Your Adsense campaign needs to make over $100 to get paid out.

If your company receives around 500-1000+ visitors a day, you can now start considering to make money through Google. Adsense is all about numbers. Play the numbers to make more money. In fact, try making goals for yourself to make X amount of dollars through your Adsense account by a certain time. Doing this will only increase your business and make your company more powerful online by increasing the amount of traffic it receives.

For multiple websites, channels are important:

Google allows you to track the performance of multiple websites all in one account which ultimately gives you the ability to track how many visitors you're getting for each website. It also allows you to work harder on those sites that aren't up to par.

I consistently look at each individual website channel to work harder at promoting the ones that aren't performing well. By doing this, we increase the amount of promotion going into the websites that under perform, and in turn eventually increase the business for those websites as well. The more you promote your website, the more the exposure you will ultimately deliver for your Adsense campaign and your company.

Google Search with Adsense:

To top all that off, you can add Google search within your site to give visitors a search function for your content and to allow people to also click on your Adsense program. Please note that for Google search to work, your website and all of its content pages must already be indexed by Google. Adding the Google search bar to your site right away won't help your visitors at all.

Creating Sitemaps For Google, MSN and Yahoo! - The Easy Way

2007-08-17T07:06:00.000-07:00

By: Philip Nicosia

If you own or maintain a website or intend to own one, wouldn’t it be great if you get frequent visitors who find satisfaction in getting exactly the information they need from your page?

While that satisfaction largely depends on the contents of your website, how you get to be accessed by website users is the most critical factor of website development. For if your website can’t be reached universally, you defeat the very purpose of the internet: that is, to make information available to any website user from across the world.

How you get to be accessed is actually a matter of presentation style, organization, and most importantly, how fast and extensive search engines get to lead users to your website. Unless your pages are indexed in the search engines they can’t send you the free visitors you are all looking for.

Fortunately, the search engines want your content too and there are a number of ways you can help them, which they encourage you to do - by creating sitemaps of your website. Sitemaps created for the various search engines will enable these search engines’ spiders to crawl faster, more systematically, and more extensively into your website’s pages.

By doing so, you get the maximum exposure you can. Such exposure will boost your pride in having your pages viewed, read, and used by more and more visitors the way you intended them to. On the financial aspect, the more visitors your website gets, the higher your website’s potential advertising value.

Now with the vast expansion of websites on the internet, it has become necessary to create different types of sitemaps, each having its own complexity in setting up.

HTML Sitemaps

Creating an HTML sitemap linked to and from your home page is something savvy webmasters have been doing for years and perhaps is the simplest to create. This sitemap is simply a list of pages contained on your site and enables the search engines spiders to easily find your pages, especially the ones that are linked deep in your website that they may have trouble finding otherwise.

TEXT Sitemaps

A text sitemap is simply a list of the URLs of your site in the form of a text file. These can then be submitted to search engines such as Yahoo! to notify them that all the pages exist and by doing so invites their spider to visit.

XML Sitemaps

Google launched Google Sitemaps as a way for webmasters to give them information they could use to better crawl their sites. This involves creating an XML Sitemap for which they provided their Google Sitemap Generator. This can be the most complicated to set up using the tools provided by Google as you need to be running Python on your server. It’s perhaps the most important one too given the current dominance of the search engine.

Setting up all three types of sitemaps may seem a daunting task but luckily there are websites that take the strain out of this and you can create all three within a matter of minutes.

XML-Sitemaps.com is one such site. Originally developed to easily create Google sitemaps for webmasters without an understanding of Python, it has evolved through demand for new features.

It offers the Sitemap Generator that lets you build your sitemap online in four simple steps, for free! The Sitemap Generator is easy to use and user-friendly even for average computer literates. Just type in your URL and other parameters (e.g. frequency of change or update that your website will likely undergo, the priority of a specific URL relative to the other pages on the same website, etc.) and follow the ensuing instructions until you get to add your URL to the Google Webmaster account. You will then be given the options to download your websites sitemaps in XML, HTML and TXT format. If still you get stuck with a step, you may enquirer and get assistance from its technical support.

Go check xml-sitemaps.com for more details or better yet, to get started!

The only limitation of the free sitemap Generator is that it allows only up to 500 pages per website. Still, this limit is high. Statistics show that out of the more than 64000 sitemaps generated using this service, the average website size was only 155 pages, way below the 500-page limit. This figure is represented by 78% of all webmasters who have used the Generator.

However, in case your website falls beyond this limit, you may check out the PHP Sitemap generator script. Offered at a very reasonable price, this stand-alone script is intended for unlimited-sized sitemaps, which is beyond the capacity of online services.

Whichever search engine or for whatever search purpose, sitemaps are clearly the fastest and most efficient way to navigate this digital highway. The best thing about it is, with these easy-to-use sitemap generators, you don’t have to be a computer geek to help keep this internet traffic moving.

How To Reach And Stay At The Top Of The First Page Of The Search Engines

2007-08-17T06:39:00.000-07:00

by: Olga Fogleman

Everybody is familiar with search engines such as Google & Yahoo. Search Engines have radically changed the Internet. Radically! Over 50% of all consumer purchases of all business purchases are now pursued by searches. That’s what was said months ago and it is obviously going higher. So the majority of people Worldwide who now are on computers, the first place they go to is a Search Engine to find information, for what they are looking for.

The Search Engine technology is now based and what Search Engine is trying to do as they are trying to put out in front of their searchers, the most current relative information possible. Google knows that what it can give you is exactly what you want to see and it’s relative to the current & it’s timely. And you are going to come back to Google over, over and over again.

Why all those Bloggers out there for years have been making a lot of money and how they are promoting for free, and how they getting free publicity and generating MASS traffic to their sites? Because Bloggers took advantage of what Google had determined was the secret to the Internet right now. A WEB SITE THAT CHANGES A LOT GETS MORE RATING WITH A SEARCH ENGINE. So if your website is changing a lot and adjusting a lot and is current, Google will push you up on the rating. That means you are getting closer, closer and closer to the first page. And this is extremely important, particularly if you know how to what is called “games the system.

What those Bloggers do – they “game the system”. And here is how they game the system: They went out and found the websites that have the absolute most change going on in a web site every single day, every single hour, every single minute, and every single second. They are powerful websites that have constant change, constant upgrading going on every minute of every day. Theses website are called “Article Hubs”. These web sites grow out of the whole change in how Search Engines work because people realized that the more websites change, the more powerful website are in searches, they realized there better be constant change. This is particularly true in Media sites & this is particularly true with Bloggers, because they began to figure out that if they have more constant change on their sites every day their Bloggs will lift on the searches. And I am going to show you one of those hugs sites. It is an extremely powerful site, 5000-7000 writers, authors, reporters & Bloggers place their articles in this site every day.

Do you understand that that site is not just visited by tens of thousands of writers and author’s who have submitted articles everyday? Do you realize this site is visited by over a million unique visitors every single day? So these sites, these Article Hubs are incredibly potent. And when you put one article in one of these sites, guess what you start to do? You start to dominate keywords. And if you can get on the first page of any major keyword you have hit a Gold Mine! One article! One keyword! Traffic, traffic, traffic! There is one example “Religion and online marketing”, this article was written two years ago and guess where they are.

Do you know when you put a keyword in worldwide there are over 35 millions places on the web that have this constant in here with Religion and Online Marketing? And this article is still having a first result, first page. That was written TWO YEARS AGO! He has been getting traffic every single day for almost 800 days for this article. One Article! One keyword! Traffic, Traffic, Traffic! And if you go page after page, after page you are going to see that article over and over and over … That Company continues to get traffic to this very day. That’s the power of Article Hubs.

Google Adsense - Ads That Make You Money!

2007-08-17T06:35:00.000-07:00

by: Lewis Low

Imagine... being paid checks by the largest and most popular search engine, simply for displaying a few ads on your website for FREE?

Well, this is exactly what the Google Adsense program is all about! And when you think about it, it's a revolutionary way of earning yourself a useful online side income. But let's back up a bit...

In the past, many webmasters displayed ads from various companies, via pop-ups, banners, pop-ins and pop-unders. However, visitors to these sites soon got tired of these advertising methods - I mean, who'd like to go to a website where they'd have to close pop-up windows every other minute? This resulted in a dramatic loss of traffic, and in turn made many webmasters to lose profits.

That's when Google announced a novel program – Google Adsense. Instead of having to use banners and pop-ups to advertise companies and gain a commission, website publishers could now earn a decent profit by displaying unobtrusive text ads on the content pages of their website. Since the ads displayed were often directly related to what your visitors are looking for on your site, you had a way to both monetize and subtly enhance your web content.

One of the main reasons for its popularity, is the fact that the Google Adsense program is incredibly accurate. By stepping beyond the boundaries of simple keyword matching, it has quickly become one of the most prominent tools to display accurate advertisements. A list of keywords is still used as the basis of triggering ads, but complex algorithms now ensure that non-relevant ads no longer show up on your site.

Google Adsense also gives you the option to be selective about the type of ads you wish to display. This helps you direct your visitors towards certain type of products and avoid non-relevant or competitor ads. To make it possible for everyone to integrate Adsense into their sites, the program offers a wide variety of settings that allow you to alter the ads' size and appearance.

Google offers their Adsense program to just about all website owners. After signing up for the program, you'll receive an HTML/ XML code to paste on all of your web pages. Then, Google will dynamically generate ads that are relevant to your web content. Whenever a visitor clicks on one of the Adsense ads on your site, Google credits your account with a percentage of money that was paid by the advertiser for that ad.

To sign up for this terrific program, hop over to http://www.google.com/adsense It's super easy to set up - just a few clicks of your mouse and you're ready to go! Once you start displaying targeted Google Adsense ads on your website, you can expect to generate a sizable income depending on the traffic flow to your site and how many visitors actually click on the ads.
