Google Tools

Almost all of us use Google.com for their every day search on the Internet, and also other Google services like Gmail, Gtalk, Orkut etc. But there are some Google products that you might have forgotten about or might not be aware of. Here is a list of those not-so-popular tools that can definitely make your life


- Google Web Accelerator

Google Web Accelerator is a utility introduced by Google which uses client software installed on the user’s computer, as well as data caching on Google’s servers, to speed up average page load times by means of data compression, pre-fetching of content, and sharing cached data between users. The tool supports various operating systems like Windows 2000 (SP3+), Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 and Windows Vista.




Google Docs

I am sure many of you must have already heard about this Google product. This is an initiative taken up by Google to allow the public to maintain their office files (Documents, Spreadsheets, Presentations) in an online as well as offline version. Google Docs lets you edit and modify your files online and also lets you share them with your team or friends. It supports all the popular file formats like Word, OpenOffice, RTF, PDF, HTML, Zip, XLS, CSV, TXT, ODS, PPT and PPS.

- Google Suggest

Google Suggest offers keyword suggestions in real time as you type your search query. This can be helpful if you are looking for information but can’t think of accurate and exact search terms. A product still in testing mode but you can use it anyways.

For more updates on tools from Google, you can visit this page -> Google Products
The list can go on and on as Google continue to find more reasons to choose Google.

Banner Exchange Plus





A brief introduction:

The BannerExchangePlus.com free webmaster banner exchange is a great way to get more traffic to your web site. Become a member and your banner ad will be displayed on other members' sites. We boast a generous 5:4 impression ratio as well as bonus impressions for each click from your site!

What is a Banner Exchange?

A banner exchange is a free service designed to help you advertise and promote your website. By inserting a small piece of code that we supply onto your web page, you will display banner ads from other exchange members, and in return, your banner will be displayed across the banner exchange network. Advertising online will bring more visitors to your website and with our premium targeting system your internet advertising campaign will bring quality leads and customers.


Why are we better?

Our banner exchange software is optimized for results. Active members are rewarded for their impressions, clicks and referrals.

We have a real-time anti-cheat system that monitors the performance of all web sites in the exchange. Your impressions are guaranteed not to be wasted by cheaters!

Feed Count


The COUNT

This brings us to the point of the RSS Feed Count. The most popular feed count displaying little sidebar image is from Feedburner and it works great. Just take a look at my feed count


. I’m sure you guys have seen blogs with this little image that shows a number. Well, this number represents the number of subscribers to your blog either through a feed reader or e-mail.

A few tips on getting the best out of your Feedburner Subscribers Counter is to place the code into your blog once you have reached a certain amount of subscribers. When I first opened Bloggin-Ads, I inserted the code into a sidebar widget before I even received 10 subscribers. I do not suggest you follow the same thing because visitors look closely on subscriber counts now. USUALLY, the higher feed count you have, the more subscribers you will have, so finding the right time to place the code into your blog is up to you. You may even want to beautify your feed count when you are ready with the FeedCount Plugin that shows numbers rather than that ugly subscriber box.


How To Find Fakes?

Finding fake stats is pretty easy if you know what you’re doing. I have mentioned the steps before, but I’m going to recap on it once again.

  1. Check the blog’s Alexa stats
  2. Check backlinks with DNScoop
  3. Check the comment counts on posts (don’t count the author comment)
  4. Check if the RSS counter image’s “IMG SRC” points to FeedBurner and not a self-hosted image
  5. Check if the blog receives actual advertisers
  6. Check if the comments are from Entrecard members

I added #6 in there last because Entrecard brings in a lot of these fake bloggers…:(

Don’t Assume

Although I say that a lot of blogs are fakers…you should not assume things like how I do. Bloggers hate me for assuming so many things, but I think I am right 99% of the time. Most cheaters will never ever tell you the truth and cheaters usually have a small network of buddies that will aid in his/her argument.
