The official launch date of Wordpress 2.3 is just around the corner. It has been scheduled at September 24, 2007. So far, based from the new features Wordpress 2.3 is adding, it looks very promising. Personally, I’m excited to download it and upgrade my Wordpress as soon as possible. If you want to try the first release candidate of wordpress, you can get it here.

However, before you go on upgrading, you need to ask yourself this question, Is your blog ready for Wordpress 2.3?

Unlike the previous upgrades such as wordpress 2.2.1 to wordpress 2.2.2 and wordpress 2.2.2 to wordpress 2.2.3 which are just minor security updates, Wordpress 2.3 is a huge update. A lot of things have been changed and added. You can’t just go and replace the files since there are bound to be conflicts in your database and also your plug ins.

So how do you get ready for a big upgrade such as this? Read the rest of this entry »

I just joined the Do-Follow Movement. This means that the comments here in my blog will be followed after they had passed the conditions to be followed. The condition is that you must post three comments before you will be followed. Easy right?

This is done through the use of Lucia’s Linky Love Wordpress Plug-in. I also joined this Do-Follow list of bloggers who just like me have Do Follow in their blogs. I suggest that if you have not joined this movement, you should join it. Not only can you gain new potential visitors, you can have more backlinks. ^_^

It was approximately last month when I first installed the All in One SEO plugin in order to optimize my search results in Google. I was amazed on what this plug-in has done for my blog. It has solved the two problems why my blog is unoptimized for search engines which were [1] Post title and the [2] Post excerpt.

1. Post Title - By default, Wordpress has this pattern for their posts, Blog Name > Archive > Post Title. However, in search engine results, the post title gets cut since the pattern is too long.The solution to this is to interchange the order of the pattern to Post Title - Blog Name. Archive was removed because it does not hold any valuable information for the readers.
2. Post excerpt - By default, your blog does not a Meta Description Tag that will serve as your post summary (summarize this post in sentence). Search engines tend to look for this and when they don’t find it, they use the first words they see in your blog which are usually your navigation links or your categories.The solution to this is to add a Meta Description Tag to each of your posts.

Both of these can be done through the All in One SEO Pack plug-in. For you to see this plug-in at work, I did a Google search on my blog and found these results. See how the post titles and post excerpts are optimized. Read the rest of this entry »

Today, I noticed in my adsense reports that I’m getting another adsense attack just hours after I returned adsense to this blog. Whoever you are that’s clicking on my ads, thanks for always visiting my blog to check if my adsense is back or not. ^_^

I searched around the web for a solution in detecting click fraud since my current stat trackers, Wordpress.com Stats, Firestats and AWStats don’t show where the user clicked. My search resulted in my discovery of the Webtool called ClickAider. This post will serve as an introduction to ClickAider and will be written just like a FAQ.

What is ClickAider?

ClickAider is an analysis tool that helps publishers maximize revenues from Pay-Per-Click Advertisements. (ClickAider Homepage)

Basically, ClickAider is a webtool that will help you keep track of the clicks on your website. It claims that it can even track clicks on ads such as Adsense and YPN.

Do you need this?

If you are just like me who recently got attacked through adsense clicking, then you do need this. You would like to know who is attacking you right? You need a tool such as this that will try to track all clicks made and provide you with the time and IP address of the click origin. Using these information, you can report it to Google to defend your claim that you are not clicking your own ads or made someone else do it.
