The law of diminishing love

Before stating what I want to say I think I should describe from where I got the idea. So please read the 2 paragraphs below.When I was doing my micro economics course I read about a topic call the law of diminishing supply / demand / marginal utility (sorry, forgot the real name of the term). Well term stares that the more one person consumes something the less demand that person will have for a product. This will lead to empty...

Why some browsers does not support download managers?

0 comments
At first I am sorry for not to include this piece of information on my last post Download any file with a download manager.

Some download managers may not support all browsers. And when you click on download it may start to download on windows default download manager. Actually this happens because the download manager is not configured to download from the particular browser you are using. Here have a look on the image:



This is an image from IDM. As you can see only the first two options are selected. So if I download file from these two browsers then IDM will automatically start to download. But if I use another browser like Opera or Google Chrome then if I download the download will start in their built-in download manager. Yes some browsers have their own built in download managers. Now if I tick both options (e.g. Opera & Google Chrome) then IDM will automatically start to download the file.

Here is an example:

Suppose I want to download oatmeal raisin cookies recipe and it is in word file format. So the file format will be either .doc or .docx (the new foramt of MS Word file). So I need to add the two formats to my download manager. (If you don't know how to do that then read my previous post I have mentioned at the begining.)

Now suppose I am using Opera browser. So at first I need to tick the opera option from download options on my download manager (IDM). Now if I download the file then the downloads will start in IDM, not in opera's download manager. So now try this knol & see for yourself that it works on any browser listed. This option should also be available on other reputed download managers as well.

Download any file with a download manager

0 comments
If you use download managers then you must know that some files does not support your download manager. They are only able to download certain popular files. And it is not possible to download them with your current download manager. Well this is not true. You can download any files using your existing download manager.

I am using IDM or Internet Download Manager right now. And I am able to download all the files with IDM easily. There is no secret on this. All you need to do is to add file extension so your download manager recognizes the file types you want to download.

Since I am using internet download manager, I am going to use the process of how to add file types on IDM. Get ready for another knol:

1. Open IDM or internet download manager application
2. Now click on "Download" menu
3. Then click on "Options"
4. Then click on "File types" tab (You can see lots of file extensions like EXE ZIP RAR etc.)
5. Add your desired file type extension (Remember there must be a space after each extension)
6. Click OK
7. You are done, now start downloading.

Note: Example for step 5: Suppose you want to download a PDF file. So you need to add PDF format as your extension. Remember after each extension there must be a space so the download manager can recognize the file.

This method should work with all reputed download managers. I am using IDM because it works best for me. If you are using a different download manager then try this method. This should work. Now enjoy downloading.

How money was created

0 comments
On a social network i have seen someone asking "How money was created?" Do you know from where it was invented? Well many of us don't know when & how it was invented. If you search on the internet then you will find many ways. May be you can also find mine which I am going to tell you. So lets start another knol.

On ancient times people used to trade goods with barter system. Barter system is the method of exchanging goods for goods. Suppose you need oatmeal raisin cookie recipe; that is not for free. Now you have to pay a price for that. But on barter system there was no money. So for that you need to trade something of equal value. Now suppose you have a piece of gold & and a knife. When you go to purchase the recipe you found out that the owner of the recipe does not want gold or knife. The owner wants a horse for the recipe. Now you have to find someone who has horse and wants to trade the horse for either gold or knife. Now you bought a horse & returned to the owner & exchanged the horse for oatmeal raisin cookie recipe. See how easy it was on the barter system.

Here is what you did:

> At first you went to a person who has oatmeal raisin cookie,
> Then the person who has the recipe needs a horse for the recipe which you don't have,
> Then you went to someone who has horse and wants to trade horse for gold,
> You bring the horse to the owner of the recipe and exchanged for it.

Now you can see how many things you have to do in barter system. Why I am telling this? Because if you had money then you could easily exchanged the recipe for money. You can see how hard it was for the people to trade on barter system.

When people were doing trade in barter system there was difference in prices for different types of goods. For example: Lets say you can buy a house for 20 ounce of gold. Also there were goods which did not last long like orange or grape. For that reason they had cheap value. And gold lasts long so gold has more value. So naturally people wanted gold for trading more than other things. When they realized that it is not secure to keep gold on houses they needed to put it on some safe place. Then the goldsmith provided the service. They had built security system to keep valuables safe. People started to deposit their gold to the goldsmith. For that the goldsmith gave people a receipt. Many people started to deposit their gold to the goldsmith & got a receipt. Now people have started to trade goods in exchange of the receipt they got from the goldsmith. It was used as a form of money.

Now have you got your answer that " How money was created? ".

The answer is money was created from the human's own needs. No one came up with the idea of money. All people needed a common thing for exchanging goods. And money was the alternative people accepted as a medium for exchanging.

Search Engine Visibility in less than 2 months

2 comments
At first let me tell you the technique i am going to tell you is based on my own experience. I am not sure whether it's going to really help or not.

I have started this blog not so long ago. I am writing this a bit later because i could not make time to write this. As far as i know it takes more than six months to get visibility on google search engine unless you have coded something special to get on search engines.

In my case i have not done any special coding to gain visibility. But i did some activities to be on search engines. And the result was more than expected. Look at the picture. On the right side you can feedjit live traffic report. It also shows that someone came to my blog from google.com. I was astonished by seeing this. Because in less than 2 months google showed me on their search result. That's just amazing.



Well as I said before i did some things to get acceptance on search engines. Now I am going to share them with you.

Here are the things I did:

1. Submitted my blog to google, yahoo and msn. (It is not necessary to submit if you have a blog on blogger or similar services. I did not know it when i have submitted it.)

2. Submitted my blog to blogupp. It is a free service in which you show a small widget on your blog which actually contains an address to another blog.

3. Joined feedburner which is now owned by google. Later i found out that if you use use feedburner then it can help you publish your post massively. There are many services where it sends information like technoratri, alexa, blogsphere etc.

4. I have also put alexa widget on my blog. Alexa is a powerful search engine so it may also help to get visibility on other search engines.

5. Submitted my blog on SEOC. It submits your blog on 150 search engines including the top search engines & it's completely free.

That's all what i did. From the beginning my target was to get traffic from search engines. Because the people who come from search engines are the real visitors. Because they will come here by searching what they will need. Later they can visit directly. But now I only have started my blog. So there are not many people know about this blog. The only way is to come by search engines. And you can see that I have accomplished it. And hoping many more visitors in future.

As I have said it before this is from my own experience. So you can try these methods to get visibility on search engines. It helped me. And it may also help you to get visitors on your site.

Top SEO Secrets

1 comments
SEO is a very necessary part for the webmasters or bloggers. As you know most of the visitor come to your site from search engines. So if you don't make your site search engine friendly then you will loose may visitors.

If you are newer to the concept of SEO (short for Search Engine Optimization) you might be wondering what all the fuss is about. However if you have been running a website for a while you have probably noticed the necessity for this practice which is essentially the fine art of making your website easier to find for people searching it using “niche language.

Niche language simply means using terms and phrases in your website or blog copy that are most commonly used by people when they type what they are looking for into a search engine. These phrases are also noted and collected by the search engine bots and spiders that belong to the search engines. The more friendly the copy in your web site is to the search engine spiders, the more likely people are to find you (which of course increases your sales.) In addition, the more hits you get from people searching for your products or services the higher your web site will be indexed on the search engine pages.

Remember how web pages work! It is basically one big popularity contest. Essentially the more hits you have, the higher your ranking is in the search engines. This leads to more business and more hits and a website that is the equivalent of a wealthy rising cyber star!

To use a metaphor – let’s say that the launching of your web site is like a launch party. Launching a website without any type of SEO is like throwing a party and forgetting to invite people.

Or you can also compare it to a party where the invitations are sent out in a language that is not recognized by the guests.

The above was just a glimpse of about SEO. Download the E-book from below. The E-book will reveal all the secrets of SEO. And this will prove very helpful for you.

How to Identify a PTC Scam?

0 comments
Those who are in online money making profession know about Paid to Click short for PTC. As the name suggests Paid to Click(PTC) is a paid service which pays it's members for viewing ads for a certain period of time. But most the sites don't pay their members. They just come and grab some money and vanish like flies. It is a hard truth. So I have discussed about this matter with others and made some points which will help you to identify the scams. They are very simple points, just have a look:

1. Pay rate/Click: The first three points are must see. Because with this you can say that whether the site is a scam or legit. I am going to combine them late of this post. For most of the PTC sites you will see pay rate per click is $0.01-$0.015. More than this is suspicious.

2. Referral click: Referral click will be either same as your click or less than your click. In most cases half you your click.

3. Advertising rate: This is how the PTC sites are charging the advertisers for a number of visitors. For example: They may get 1000 visitors for $20. Which means the advertiser will get 1000 by paying $20 to the PTC site.

4. Web layout: You should also look for this. Because the PTC sites which are going to stay for long time are going to use their unique web design. If you do some search then you can see lots of sites have the same design. This implies that they are just buying predesigned scripts & starting a site. So most good sites will have unique design.

5. Forum activity: All sites will have a forum. But you should look at the activities of the forum. Whether the forum is active or no members are there. If there are no members active on the forum then the site is again in suspicion. Also look at the threads of those forum. From there you can know whether the members are happy or sad about that site. Because members talk about everything on that site. Also either forum moderator or administrator answers most of the members questions or problems.

6. Type of ADS: This is what you look carefully. You should look for the advertisers they are getting. If you can see they are showing only their ads then something is wrong. Because advertisers will not pay them to show their own ads. So they have to pay you when you see an ad for certain period of time. So see whether they are giving other sites ads or showing their ads. Because they will get paid from advertisers & then they will be able to pay you. Otherwise they have to pay you from their pocket. From where they will get the money?

7. Verified by: Also look for whether they are verified by any site or payment processor. The sites are verified by payment processor are more safe. Most of the PTC sites use Paypal & Alertpay payment processor. So if they are verified by either of the sites then it is a good sign.

8. Extra funding option: Some sites do some extra things to fund their site. For example: lottery. Members will buy tickets & when all the tickets are sold the site will declare ticket holders winner. This is a good way to fund sites.

9. Spelling Check: Professional sites will do proofreading before launching their site. You can look whether the writings of the site contains some spelling mistakes. There will not be any mistakes if the site prepare to launch & stay in the business.

10. Security: This is a must have on PTC sites. Because the data on members are valuable. Everyday they are being updated. If someone hacks their account or mess up their data then the members are going to loose their money. So the sites must have tight security installed on their site so the members are safe from harm.

These are some facts you can verify before joining. It will be very difficult to find all the facts on a single site. But the first 3 points are must have. Here is an example why:

If the click rate is $0.01, Ref click is $0.005 so they are paying $0.015 each click. And now if they charge the advertisers $10 for 1000 clicks then it is a scam in my opinion. Because for 1,000 clicks the site has to pay 1,000*$0.015= $15 to their members. How are they going to pay extra $5 to their members.

The point is clear to you I hope. Also look for the last point which is security. It is necessary for you. Because if they don't have security built on their site then you are going to loose.

I hope this will help you in future if you are planning to join PTC or continue PTC. I wish you luck for your future.

How to create an animated avatar using adobe image ready

0 comments
I have seen many people who want to use an animated avatar on social places or in some forum. But the size of the picture does not match the requirement so the picture does not animate on conversations or on their profile.

Many people asked me about this. So I thought I should share this on EHRKNOL since it is what many people want. There are many softwares which can do this.

I only know how to do it using adobe image ready. All you need to do is to resize the animated picture according to the need of the site. And your can use the animated picture. Most sites require the image to be 80*80 pixels. But some sites have special requirements. Like 60*60 pixels. You can do it after you have done the following steps.

Here are the steps you need to follow:

1. Start adobe image ready. (It is available with adobe photoshop)
2. Then open the animated picture you want to resize.
3. At bottom right you can see a tab called "Layer".
4. Click on layer 1.
5. Then go to "Image" menu & click on "Image size".
6. There write value on width box 60 (or other amount according to your need). Do the same for height box. (Height may change automatically, if it changes then leave it as it is)
7. Then press OK.
8. Then click on layer 2.
9. Repeat the step 5 & step 6. (Do the same for all other layers)
10. After resizing all the layers again go to "Image" menu.
11. This time click on "Canvas Size" on the "Image" menu.
12. Now write a value for your width & height box. (Do the same that you did on step 6. Write the same value as you wrote on Step 6).
13. Now press OK.
14. Now click on the "File" menu.
15. Hi light "Preview in" & click on "IEXPLORER" or any other browser it shows.
16. After your picture opened on the browser, right click on the picture & save the picture.

Now you are done resizing the picture. You can now use it anywhere you want. If the picture meets the sites criteria ( like 60*60 pixels or 80*80 pixels) then it will animate.
