Today the post is on about Google info 500 Comments Limits Only. Have you tried posting a comment on a popular Google+ post with 500 comments? Did you know Google+ has a 500 comments limit? If you happen to post a comment on a 500 comments Google plus topic, this is what happens…

@500 Google+ Comments :


You want to post a comment on a 500 comments Google plus topic. At first the “Add a comment” box prompts you to add a comment.

Then you wish to contribute your thoughts in addition to these 500 comments and interact with the discussion. You type a long thoughtful comment, click ‘Post Comment’.

Instantly a pop-up alert on top reminds you that you are not allowed to comment on this post! But why? Has your account be limited in some way?

Then the comment box also disappears on that post. Your long and thoughtful comment just disappeared for no reason.

Strange! At first I thought my account was selectively blocked or something. Then I gradually realised after experimenting with several popular posts, that is futile to comment after 500 comments have been posted.
To avoid this frustration, Google+ should remove the “Add a comment” prompt from popular posts which have 500 comments, or they should add a small notice beneath these comments that the 500 comments limit has been reached. At least it will prevent people from wasting their time posting their comments, and not understanding why they are not allowed to comment on these popular posts.

Today the post in on about Some sites Google Search Ranking and traffic is loosing.Is your Google search traffic dropping every month, don’t blame Google Panda for it everytime. The Google search result pages are changing and the top 10 search results are not what they used to be a year ago.
Google is incorporating signals that make these pages more useful to the users, especially social signals and now is more often  interspersed with videos, news, images and a lot more stuff. So don’t be surprised why your traffic is declining and your search engine rankings are going down as it becomes more difficult to get your link on the first pages of the Google results.
Changing Google Results Pages

@1. Boost Social Signals - Google believes you will like search results your friends like or recommend. Who better to recommend stuff than your closest friends. Have you noticed how Google search results display more specific links liked or shared by your community of friends. This pushes many search results beyond to the second page. And Google will even let you thank friends for it. Tip: Develop a huge social network across Twitter, Facebook and especially Google+ and get more visibility in search results.

@2. Local Search is Hot Business -  Google recently put out the Venice Update, which is bringing local search results which cater more to your geographical location, out on top of everything else. It was a quiet update, but shuffled a lot of thing on search screens. Its evident if you are looking to buy something, there is a better chance you are searching for it in your own local neighbourhood.  e.g. a simple search for computers loads up 7 local results which nearly fill up the whole page. Tip: If you have local content site, use the opportunity to get more traffic.

@3. Authority Sites Get Even Bigger - The big brands keep getting bigger and bigger with more PR, more trust and better traffic by ranking higher. Search for most common terms will usually reveal Wikipedia entry or respected news resources like Reuters or other large portals. e.g. a simple search for computers send out top 3 results from Wikipedia itself. You have a tough chance of ranking higher than that. Tip: Develop a authority site which can give competition to top brands and compete for the top search ranking spots.

@4. Everyone Likes Videos - If your search query is a popular term for videos queries too, expect to see a large chunk of mid search result space occupied by lots of Youtube videos. The more popular the query, more Youtube video links. These will surely push a lot of links out of the way. Tip: Develop popular popular Youtube videos and get more Youtube pageviews.

@5. Everyone Loves Images -  If your query targets a lot of popular images for the term in Google Images, they will also occupy a large area to shift your results down. Tip: Use lots of images on your site and label them carefully with the right Alt tags to get your image on top of image search results and directly to your site.

@6. Breaking News Always Works - if your query is a trending topic in Google news, expects some news stories to also pop in the results and drag your links down. Tip: Post on current and trending topics, get listed in Google news, become a authority site and your news links will get more clicks than the top sites.

@7. Sitelinks Mark Authority - Powerful authority websites also have multiple sitelinks, search boxes and breaking news columns which take up considerable screen space (Of course they are much less than the huge 12 site links which we got!). Tip: Its difficult to match super popular sites like BBC, CNN, NYT – but bigger sites get bigger sitelinks, news links, search boxes and a larger screen space which assure better traffic to your site.

Today the topic is on Revie of Digg.com storty 2005-2012 .Our site has been around since late 2010, and we have had the unique opportunity to experience the Power of Digg.com, its interaction with social bookmarking services, social networking sites and the ever evolving social media space. This post highlights some important events in Digg history scattered with some links to articles as we followed its incredible journey.
I’m sure you’ve heard that Digg has now sold out to Betaworks for a mere few million dollars! This is especially after its founder Kevin Rose was featured on magazine covers with the grand title of how this kid made $ 60 million in just 18 months after starting Digg!

@The Power of Diggs
We joined Digg in 2005, and it was a great experience as it was famous for huge traffic spikes and crashed servers when your story got up voted to feature on the Digg front page. I recall all bloggers used to actively submit their best stories in the hope that some story would make it to the front page and result in lot of free traffic. And it sometimes actually did hit the front page. Following a good Digg hit, the exposure of your site to the Digg community was immense. It didn’t matter if you were a new one-month-old blogger or a large media giant.
Our list about the amazing Digg tools collection topped several bookmarking site charts as well. (The collection is much smaller now as many websites closed down). Actually once your story hits the Digg front page, there was a high chance it would also get popular on delicious.com, StumbleUpon and other social bookmarking services. So the traffic amplification effect was mind blowing.

In early days it was not so difficult to make a story hit the Digg front page. It was exciting as several of our blog posts made it to the front page which resulted in exceptionally high traffic spikes which nearly crashed our shared hosting server.

In fact fluctuating Digg traffic spikes became an important reason for site owners to switch to VPS hosting / dedicated hosting (with new concepts like cluster hosting / cloud hosting) as shared hosting servers were unable to cope with the huge traffic, and servers often crashed or the hosting bandwidth expired and prevented Webmasters from capturing this extra traffic. It was also the reason why many WordPress caching plugins became popular as they helped to make sites Digg-proof.
Actually this phenomenon inspired this Digg Song below. A masterpiece reminder of the great Digg times!

Many Digg clones continued to copy the concept in a hope to gain users and traffic. Can you believe that websites used to post their official Digg policy! Digg was the most powerful social media tool out there to bring you huge traffic, for free.

@Top Digg Users
As Digg continued to evolve, people realised the immense power of controlling the Digg front page. Many active Digg users became popular, created extensive networks, and controlled many stories which appeared on the Digg front page.  It became increasingly difficult for stories to hit the front page as it occurred earlier.  The Digg algorithms continued to evolve and it became more difficult to cheat Digg, but despite everything the sheer surprise and pleasure of experiencing a big spike of traffic from the Digg front page became a rare occurrence for most bloggers.
I recall the top Digg users were so powerful, that many were willing to hire them as social bookmarkers for a few thousand dollars per month across different social networks like delicious, Netscape Propeller etc. In fact the first 10 Netscape Navigators were selected from 3 of the top 12 Digg users!
“The fact is that the top 10 users on DIGG are responsible for 30% of the front page stories on DIGG. That’s 3% of total front page stories each!!! Think about that for a second…”
The top Digg users list kept appearing and disappearing on the website. Then Digg turned two years old with over 700,000 users, continue to evolve, continued to ban some popular sites, then unban them, and soon crossed 1 million users and announced the Digg party.

Today the topic is on about How can you stop image hotlinking by RSS content scraping websites which republished your full text content with images. Image hotlinking is a big problem for Webmasters because these images on the scrapers website actually drain bandwidth from your hosting plan, and makes it seem like it’s their original content. Fortunately, bloggers can easily block images on the sites.
Image hotlinking

It basically means the website which copied your content with images, downloads these images from your server (instead of uploading to their own server) when someone visits that web page. So when their site gets traffic, not only is your republished content getting exposure as their own content, the images also are loaded from your own hosting server.
If you have limited bandwidth plan, such hotlinked images can very quickly finish hosting bandwidth – not only increasing your hosting bill, but also sometimes leading to your site going off-line as your hosting service provider limits your bandwidth till you pay!

@ So how do we stop image hotlinking from our website?
A lot of RSS content scraping auto blogs republish our full-text content, and this stopping content theft and plagiarism is very difficult to control and possibly leads to Google penalties and duplicate content issues, and in fact these articles might rank higher than your own content.
See what happens when some content scraping blogs tries to republish our full-text RSS feed. If we block image hotlinking for their domain name, our custom image hotlinking banner replaces all hotlinked images on their site.

@Stop Image Hotlinking :

While there are many ways in which your .htaccess file can block images totally from displaying on any other site except your own site, we don’t prefer it because it will also block images from many RSS aggregators, feed readers, email subscriptions, and many other valid use options. So we prefer to block hotlinked images only from websites which are scraping our content.
This is the code which we add to the .htaccess file. [Note the .htaccess file extension - it is basically a text file, and does not have a.txt extension]

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://(www\.)?bad-domain\.com(/.*)*$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://(www\.)?bad-domain2\.net(/.*)*$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://(www\.)?bad-domain3\.com(/.*)*$ [NC]
RewriteRule \.(jpeg|JPEG|jpe|JPE|jpg|JPG|gif|GIF|png|PNG)$ hotlink.jpe [L]

Note that we upload this htaccess file into the wp-content>uploads folder, which stores all images which have been uploaded into the WordPress posts. So this htaccess file will block all images from this folder from displaying on the domain names that you have blocked. This will not block images hosted elsewhere on your server. So in this example, this file is set to block images on 3 bad domain names and their sub pages.
Be warned that the .htaccess file is a very powerful file and if used incorrectly can make your site go off-line, so be sure to test its function on live blogs and see that it is stopping image hotlinking as expected. If anything goes wrong, simply delete the .htaccess file in the upload folder. Also note that this is different from the htaccess file in your hosting root folder.
Image Hotlinking Banner

If you carefully note the code, it also has an image titled hotlink.jpe (you can name it whatever you want) – this image has a JPE extension, which works like a JPG extension actually, and has been purposefully misnamed so that it is not blocked by the .htaccess file. It is uploaded in the same folder, and the purpose of this file is to replace the file on the content scrapers website with this image. You can make this image a display whatever you like.
What are the characteristics of a good image hotlinking manner -

• @Colour – You will notice that the hotlink.jpe image we use is that large green image in the screenshot above. The purpose of this image is to highlight that the image has been blocked purposefully by the site owner, has been used without permission, so it is a good idea to use a bright colour so that its very visible on the page.
• @File size – It should be optimised to a very small file size as it will be downloaded across the web as many times as the hotlinked images are loaded up (you don’t want your hotlinking image banner to increase bandwidth costs).
• @Text message – It is a good idea to post a message to which domain name the image actually belongs to – for example we tell visitors who see these images to visit QOT.CO – which is a short URL that redirects to our main domain name (QOT readers can preferably use this URL to reach our site on their mobile browsers). We also chose the short domain name here as it is easier to put on small size images.
• @Image size – Note that the image resizes to whatever image dimensions  have been specified on the web page, so large images get replaced by large hotlinking banners. Use text on your image in such a way that it is readable even in small and large sizes as the image resizes and gets pixelated and blurred.
• @Image hotlinking block not working

Common reasons why your hotlinking is not getting blocked could be – wrong use of htaccess file code, or wrong placement of htaccess file.  As auto bloggers continue to get smarter (to avoid things advised in this tutorial), sometimes they actually do upload images on their own server. In those cases this code will not work as the images are not on your server, and it is not hotlinking. To check this, view source code to see the image URL, or open image in a new tab, and you will see that it is not hosting on your server.
Find content scrapers

How to find which blogs are scraping content? Simply post an article. After one hour search for the exact title of your post (within quotes) in Google search, and all the sites which have used the exact title will be displayed. You can check which sites are simply aggregating headlines, and which are republishing your full-text RSS feed.

Dating in Pakistan is a complex and newly emerging concept. Pakistan mostly comprises of Muslim people from rural areas and conservatives belonging to middle class society. They all look down upon this new phenomena evolving in our Islamic country. Many areas of Pakistan are liberal in their approach such as Lahore in Punjab and Karachi in Sindh. On the other hand, in many western parts of Pakistan like the N.W.F.P and Baluchistan you will find age old tribal customs which prohibit this liberalism.

Dating begins and blooms in certain places, like colleges and universities. Love blossoms while studying together and finally after a few years the couple might consider marriage the traditional way. This means that the boy's family finally shows up at the girl's home for the proposal. This leads to engagement ceremony and eventually marriage. Though there is nothing evidently wrong with this sort of marriage arrangement but our religion Islam does not permit mixing of men and women for the purpose of romance. Many people oppose this growing liberalism. They claim that this phenomenon arises from the West. We as Muslims should not follow in the footsteps of the western culture and traditions. Even Indian media is responsible to quite some extent for promoting this concept through their movies which portray love, dating and other such notions commonly. They leave a deep impression on youngsters mind.

@Online dating
Online dating is revolutionizing the social scene in Pakistan. Since not many social opportunities are available to the young generation, they are resorting to the dating over the Internet. Internet access in Pakistan is steadily growing at one of the fastest rates in Asia and finding love is becoming easier. It is gaining popularity because of mobility issues for many females in the country. Online dating has helped people in Pakistan to take a new turn where people have the freedom to choose and to arrange dates online first before finally arranging a romantic encounter.

@Conclusion
Our society still considers this socially unacceptable and unethical. Friend ship is acceptable but with in limits. Religion, moral values, culture and social setup of our country does not allow us to practice this norm. Being a Muslim myself, I feel we must condemn this sort of activity in public places. Our religion does not permit such western influences; therefore we must abide by it. The correct approach to a successful relationship would be when the parents of both the boy and the girl are involved to settle and make decisions regarding the future of their children. We, as Muslims, should realize and respect our parents’ decisions to search for a genuine and suitable life partner. It is this blind faith and trust that we bestow upon our parents that makes our religion superior and above the rest.

Do you want to write something loved by search engines and human both? Bloggers and webmasters know a lots of ways to rank higher in Google for particular keywords. But ranking well in Google isn't enough, its just an opportunity to you to  get visitors and show your work.

If you don't have quality contents or something  for organic visitors (visitors that come via search engines), any amount of traffic is just useless. To retain those users for maximum time, you must have quality stuff in your blog. You can realize the quality of your contents by looking at retweets, comments on posts, Facebook likes etc.

If your blog/website have a higher rate of bounce rate (i.e. people come and leave your website quickly), then it is just like they did not come to your site. It happens when you are getting a good amount of traffic from search engines but your contents are not better enough to keep the visitors on your blog. Better SEO techniques might rank you on first page, but better Blogging skills will give your articles not only maximum visibility on Google but also love of humans and machines (search engines).

Here are two important steps which will help you to get love from humans and machines, both.

@1- Steps to write lovable articles :


Write at least 500 words long articles. Your articles must be enjoyable, lovable and scannable.

@Research: Its the most important factor. First you need to realize what people are you searching for. You should write accurate and unbiased facts and opinions.
@Presentation: This is what makes your articles look interesting and eye-catching. You need to present your work in the best and interesting way. Use bullet points, sub-headings, pics, infographics instead of writing long paragraphs.
@Editing: Once you are done with writing article. Re-read and edit the entire article. Here you get a chance to fix some serious editing such as rectifying grammar or/and spell mistakes etc.


@2- Making Contents Lovable for Google :


Now its time to get a better rank in Google. You will have to work on it because mere a well written article is not enough to rank you higher in Google. You will have to optimize your article according to latest optimization techniques.

Using Google keyword tool and finding keywords based on your topic is a great idea. You can pick few keywords which having low competition and search between 10,000 - 12,000. Pickup 5,6 keywords from the tool and use it in your article. Dont use these keywords a lots of time in your article i.e. integrate the keywords seamlessly.
