You’ll find plenty of creative ways to use QR Codes in marketing all over the web, but they have particular value when integrated into a direct mail advertising campaign. QR Codes can enhance the effectiveness of your direct mail in a number ways:
  • First, telling the reader to scan the QR Code with their smartphone is a call to action they can act on immediately, when they are most receptive to your message.
  • Secondly, once you’ve engaged the person, you can provide more details about your product or service, offer exclusive coupons, discounts or unique content to further entice them.
  • And finally, you can track usage of the QR Codes to figure out what works and what doesn’t, and make adjustments accordingly.
No doubt about it, QR Codes are the next big thing in direct mail marketing. It is an exciting development, especially for small and medium-sized businesses, because they can be implemented so easily and affordably. Here are 10 ways to use QR Codes in your next direct mail advertising campaign:
  1. Have the consumer scan the code and enter their contact information to be entered into a drawing for free products and/or services.
  2. Send a postcard advertising a property for sale or rent and include a QR Code that launches a virtual tour of the property, then offer a premium for scheduling a showing or attending an open house.
  3. Post real-time event information, e.g. a calendar of events, on a mobile website which can be updated without changing the QR Code it’s linked to.
  4. If you sell a particular brand of product, have the consumer scan the code to open a link to the manufacturer’s website where they can read the specs, reviews, compare the features and prices of various models, etc.
  5. Trying to register people for an event? Print a QR Code on a postcard mailer and have it open the registration form when scanned. Let them pay the registration fee after completing it.
  6. Own a restaurant? Print a QR Code on your menu mailer. Have the code generate a text message or email that signs the user up to get the Soup of the Day via text message or the weekly specials via email.
  7. Include a QR Code in your design that opens a mobile app that allows consumers to search your inventory.
  8. Have the code launch a mobile website featuring testimonials from recent customersand offer a special discount for calling or emailing from there.
  9. Advertising the grand opening of your salon and spa? Send a mailer with a QR Code that automatically dials your number to schedule an appointment.
  10. Simply offer an exclusive coupon, good for a limited time, to drive traffic to your business’s location. Compare the number of scans to the increase in sales to see if you need to sweeten the offer.

After starting discussion on ‘how to trick adsense’ I am going to introduced to you about adsense.AdSense is the service that allows website owners to make money with their website or blog without any effort other than the initial setting up of the system. The reason that this program is so popular and successful is because the advertisements that appear on your website or blog are on topic, that is, they are relevant to the content that is on your site.

These days, it has become very difficult to get an Adsense account approval. It was not the case there three to four years back when we were able to get Adsense account approved with free blogs even created on blogger.com.

Making good amount of money from one’s blog is every blogger’s dream. Everyone wants to earn the max from his blog. While there are many ways of earning from a blog the most preferred method is using Adsense and direct ad sales. While Adsense is the best earning solution and one can earn a good amount from Adsense, many people find it difficult to get approved into Adsense. Many lose hope just after one attempt! Below are some tips for how to trick adsense get approval quickly.

How To Trick Adsense Get Approved Fast?

Quality content: Always provide quality content on your blog and never thought of copying content from other websites and blogs as no one loves a copy paste blog like Google. Also make sure that the content on your blog is as per the policies of Google Adsense. You should publish 30-40 articles at least on your blog before applying for Google Adsense. If you apply with a blog with 3-4 posts only, chances of your Google Adsense account approval are very low.

Owned Domain: You must have your own domain name when you apply for a publisher account with Google Adsense. You can see more benefits of having your own domain name compared to a free domain here.

Never Use Fake Names: Never use a nickname while registration, may get your account rejected or disapproved.

Age of Domain: Your chances of being accepted into Google Adsense revenue sharing program gets very high if you apply with a domain having age greater than 6 months.

Better Traffic: Lots of blogs gets rejected because they don’t have any real traffic. Make sure you have good traffic before you apply for Adsense.

Adult focused content material: To get an Ad Sense account authorization for adult focused websites is very hard. If you are trying to get Google account for Google with regard to these sites, they’re least authorized.

Possess rich content material: Usually sites along with latest systems, how to articles, delivering presentations as well as movies are often authorized with regard to Google Adsense.


Also know: Your blog should have professional looking theme and should not contain broken links, page under construction, HTML or grammatical errors.

After implementing above ‘how to trick adsense’ tips taken into practice, I’m sure your adsense account will be approved. For more effective tricks for approve adsense without any website or easy tips, you can refer my blog ‘How To Trick Adsense’.

Good content are always great for SEO. If you want to improve your traffic and by the way get some extra linking, you will want to open a blog and write good articles. For effects of SEO, there are some tips you can follow to write articles that will give you a better result in Search Engines, they are called SEO articles, and here are some quick tips based on our own experience.

1. RELATED TOPIC

Start by selecting a topic related to the context you want to be found. Example, we do web design, so we usually write articles about design trends, web design tutorials, etc.

2. SELECT KEYWORDS

Think about the whole idea and select 2-3 keywords, then try to use those keywords at the beginning, center and end of the article. For example, an article on web design guidelines, would select keywords like 'web design', 'website design', 'web development'.

3. LINKS

Link those keywords a couple of times (you may include them 6 times, but link them no more than twice, or can be considered spam). Link can point to your product page or to another related article.

4. DIVIDE IN PARTS

Like in some movies, if the article is interesting and long enough, split it in at least two parts: 'Web design guidelines - Part I' and 'Web design guidelines - Part II'. Then link them each other: at the end of each article add a link to the next or preview part as needed.

5. SPELLING

Try your best to avoid typos or misspelling, both machine (Google bot) and humans (your actual visitors) don't like it. When you are reading an article, is always bothering to your eyes try to think twice on a wrong word.

6. SHARE

Now you have your piece or art, don't be shy, go and share it! Not because you are a good Samaritan (you can be it), but is because is the way to let people know your article exists. Share your brand new article link in Facebook, go to Twitter and tweet it, e-mail the link to your friends.

Finally, don't do evil, keep your articles useful and written for humans, if you do, it will be natural people like it and start passing the voice. If you write articles for the machine or stuffed with keywords, people will arrive to your page, only to leave and never be back... plus soon or later you are likely to be penalized by Search Engines.

Good luck!

What is malware?

Malware is a general term for malicious software and is a growing problem on the internet. Hackers install malware by exploiting security weaknesses on servers and gaining access to web sites. The malware code is not visible or easily detected, and may infect customers' computers when they simply browse a compromised web site. Hackers use it to spread viruses, hijack computers or steal sensitive data such as credit card numbers or other personal information.

Who should use web site anti-malware scanning?

Any web site is at risk of being infected by malware. Small web sites might be more vulnerable because they are less likely to have resources and expertise to detect and respond quickly to attacks. Malware may infect your customer’s computers when they simply browse your web site. Targeting small web sites with low traffic allows hackers to avoid detection longer and cause more damage. ]]> SSL Matrix http://www.webcosmoforums.com/blogs/ssl-matrix/2732-geotrust-website-anti-malware-scan.html SEO Glossary of Terms http://www.webcosmoforums.com/blogs/seo786/2727-search-engine-optimization-glossary-terms.html Wed, 30 Nov 2011 00:52:26 GMT SEO Glossary of Terms Algorithm: Search Engines all have their own set of programmed rules, their algorithm, for how they determine the rank of the results of specific queries. They keep these... SEO Glossary of Terms
Algorithm: Search Engines all have their own set of programmed rules, their algorithm,
for how they determine the rank of the results of specific queries. They keep these rules
private to prevent spamming.
ALT Tags: These are HTML tags that determine the text that pops up when you scroll
your mouse over an image. It is handy for people who view pages as Text-Only, so they
see descriptions of the images they are not seeing.
Anchor Text: See link text.
Backlinks: Links that are inbound from another website to yours, as opposed to
outbound links (links that take visitors away from your website) and internal links
(links within your site or that move a visitor around within your website).
Banned Pages: Web pages that Search Engines remove from their results for spamming
or violating content guidelines.
Boolean Search: A search that limits your terms with AND, OR, or NOT. For example,
you may type into a search box: “knitting AND sweaters NOT scarves”. So your results
will be about knitting sweaters specifically, with no results about knitting scarves.
Browser: A program used to view web pages such as Internet Explorer or Netscape.
Category: See Channels.
CGI: Common Gateway Interface is the standard that allows the server to communicate
with CGI programs . There are many examples of programs that use the CGI standard to
communicate with the server. For example, programs that keep track of how many hits a
site has had are often CGI programs.
CGI PROGRAM: Programs that communicate with the server via the CGI standard as
explained above.
CGI Bin: The name of the folder (directory) in which CGI programs are stored. Web
hosts sometimes allow you access to the programs in a personal CGI bin so you can
include interactive components on your website, such as order forms.
Channels, Channel Listings: Simply a category in a directory, such as MOVIES or
HOTELS.
Clickthrough Rate: It is the percentage of people who click through a particular link (ad)
out of the total number of people who view the link (ad). For example, if 100 people view
a web page that has a link on it, and 50 of those people actually click on that link, its clickthrough rate is 50%. Also called CTR for short.
Client: A computer that requests information from another computer. A web browser is a
client of the servers it requests information from.
Cloaking: To “cloak”, or hide, the content of a web page by having two versions of the
same page, one submitted to search engines and one available to others. Cloaking is
considered completely taboo by legitimate SEO companies, and search engines frown
upon the practice completely.
Clustering: When you perform a search, sometimes you get so many results that they are
hard to sift through. Clustering is a technique that categorizes the results for you in
hierarchical folders, so you can more easily find exactly what you were looking for. For
an example, see vivisimo.com
Comment Tags : HTML tags that make the text between them invisible to browsers.
Some search engines ignore the content between these tags, others do not. Programmers
use these tags to insert comments for any other future programmers that might look at the
HTML code. However, you cannot and should not stuff your comment tags with keyword
terms in an attempt to rank higher, for it is considered comment tag spamming.
Conversion Rate: The percentage of total visitors of a website who actually purchase
something, request more information or another action you want the visitor to the website
to complete.
Cost Per Click: A kind of advertising such as that offered in Yahoo and Google’s
sponsored link sections where you pay by the click, i.e., you pay a set rate for each
person who clicks on your ad.
CPC: See Cost Per Click.
CPM: Somewhat like CPC, only payment is based on impressions or how many times an
ad is viewed, regardless of whether they follow the link.
Crawler: See Spider.
CTR: See Clickthrough Rate.
Dead Link : A link that leads to a web page that no longer exists.
De-listing: When a web page is removed from a search engine’s index, either because it
has been banned or due to some technical glitch.
Directories: Sites that supply lists of websites compiled manually and organized into
categories. Yahoo! Directory is an example.Just to demonstrate, this is what a directory looks like, you can see that it is orga ]]> seo786 http://www.webcosmoforums.com/blogs/seo786/2727-search-engine-optimization-glossary-terms.html Is HTML5 a game changer for Mobile Apps? http://www.webcosmoforums.com/blogs/sathiya/2669-html5-game-changer-mobile-apps.html Sat, 26 Nov 2011 06:59:35 GMT Here is my quick perspective on how HTML5 may change things in the Mobility space, last few years have been all about native apps and of late we have been hearing a lot about Mobile Web apps built... Here is my quick perspective on how HTML5 may change things in the Mobility space, last few years have been all about native apps and of late we have been hearing a lot about Mobile Web apps built using HTML5 and how it is going to transform the world of apps. (For the purpose of this blog, whenever I refer to HTML5 it means HTML5 + CSS3 + JavaScript)

So let us start with this question, why consumers like Native apps so much.
  • Look and feel of the apps
  • Application Performance
  • Device Level Features (Camera, Geo-location, Accelerometer etc)
  • Access to resources (Contacts, Calendar and Files)
  • 2D/3D Graphics Libraries (leverage hardware acceleration)
  • Touch events and Gestures
Pain points on the Native app side
  • App Store Approval Process
  • Upgrade Process
  • Revenue Sharing with Platform Vendors
  • No Cross Platform Support
  • Learning Curve
  • Cost of development and Maintenance
What if I tell you, you can get all of these native app benefits and also overcome all the pains points using mobile Web apps, wouldn't that be exciting? I believe your answer would be an absolute “Yes”.

At this point in time HTML5 specification is still a working draft and will reach candidate recommendation stage by 2012. Nevertheless most of the browsers have already started supporting HTML5 features, if you want to find out what are the HTML5 features your browser is supporting, take a quick test using this site http://mobilehtml5.org/.










HTML5 can do a lot for you but let me try to cover some of the important features it offers




• Simplified semantics (concise and easily readable)
• In-built support for Video and Audio (no plugins required)
• HTML5 based games - WebGL, CSS3 and SVG
• Improved app performance
- Download JS in the background (Web Workers)
- Cache your entire application using Cache Manifest
- Client storage mechanism like Web storage and DB storage
- New Input type like Email/URL/Date
• Access all device level features (Geo-location, Camera etc)
• Multi-touch events


Does that really mean that Native apps would slowly fade-out in about 2 to 3 years? Not really, though the dominance of Native apps over Web would even-out to quite an extent. I believe content based industries would be more inclined to Web Apps while Gaming industry towards Native apps, Consumer industry would opt for both Native and Web app to have maximum customer touch points and Enterprises would go for HTML5 to reduce the cost and enable BYOD (Bring Your Own Device).


Here is a chart by PwC which states most of the applications can be handled by HTML5 and only few would need to be native to the device.




PwC Technology Forecast 2011 issue 1


Though we say that HTML5 would enable build once and run anywhere, it has its own set of challenges to overcome; one would be cross browser compatibility on HTML5 feature-set, not all features are available on all browsers, and they are implemented as and when the specifications are out. If you are implementing HTML5 features make sure to test them on all top browsers and implement workarounds if they are not supported on specific browsers. Secondly the varied real estate across mobiles and tablets would mean that you still have to either tweak your layouts or implement UI themes based on the device display (nevertheless it is still much less work than building native apps for each of the platforms separately).


Finally, when it comes to new device based features like NFC, Web apps would always have some catching up to be done until those respective APIs can be accessed through browsers. And with lot more innovation to come-in on device level features, native would continue to have its edge there. Nevertheless I would say that Web App would be much more powerful than before and in most cases would act as a good alternative to Native apps.

A safer web is enabled... An SSL certificate is a comprehensive solution to create a secure environment as well as credibility and trust with web site visitors and online customers around the world.

A safer web is enabled by SSL-protected sites, as seen with Facebook’s transition to requiring SSL for all applications and Google’s transition to the https standard for all logged-in searches. You may wonder exactly what SSL certificate security is. Well, SSL stands for Secure Socket Layer. This protocol is a standardized way to encrypt (i.e., scramble) online transmission. An SSL-secured site uses an encryption or algorithm to encode and decode data. The SSL system involves two individual keys, which are called the private key and the public key. Typically the public key is just that – available to all — whereas the private key is known only to the site owner.

Web sites with SSL encryption start with https rather than http. In other words, SSL is so commonplace that it is built into the Web’s infrastructure and browser functionality. Https web sites require an active and site-specific SSL for data transfer; if the SSL is expired, for a different site, or not installed properly, error messages result. Typically, web sites used for online payment or digital transactions are secured through this encryption/decryption protocol, as are some email sites.

Let's look at how HTTPS works: a secure channel must be created on an unsecured network. Cipher suites are used for this purpose, and SSL certificates are a verified and affordable solution. In general, web browsers have a list of accepted, pre-installed certificate authorities (CA). An SSL certificate indicates whether an online purchase or online transaction is advisable. Some web browsers may provide a plug-in for this purpose. If a site is visited and the SSL certificate has not been added to your web browser, you will be prompted with a warning and you must confirm the risk of seeing the site in any way. Cheap SSL certificates will increase your safety, both web browsing and shopping, such as you experience through online third party payment platforms like PayPal or bank wire.

What happens when a Web browser connects to an SSL-secure Web site? The first step is that the browser tries to connect to the website. The browser requests the Web server to verify whether the web site has an SSL-secure connection or not. The Web server of the site sends a copy of the SSL certificate for the visitor’s web browser verification. The next step is verification of the SSL security certificate. The browser checks that the certificate sent by the SSL Web server is reliable. If the certificate is verified, it sends a message to the web server. But if it fails, the browser generates a warning and prompts the user to confirm or deny the authenticity of the web server certificate. If the user accepts the risk, the message instantly is sent to the web server; otherwise the connection to the website is closed. If accepted, the server returns with https protocol (even if it’s problematic).

Key Functions of SSL certificates
To secure a website, it’s best to review the SSL providers both for key functions of SSL as well as the below details. Types of SSL certificates are standardized throughout the industry, but the below should be considered before ordering.

Web Browser Authentication: SSL should be verified by the latest major web browsers. Unverified SSL certification authorities will generate warning messages in browsers which will create negative impressions among web site visitors and online customers. In other words, SSL certificates must be highly COMPATIBLE.

SSL encryption: The common SSL standard is 128 bit or 256 bit SSL encryption. Certificates are typically at this bit level, the range due to browser/server/OS. 128/256 bit SSL encryption is the best option to make the entire online shop or business secure and safe for website visitors and other online users.

SSL Issuance: SSL should be issued as quickly as possible by a major SSL reseller. This both keeps your price down and improves your customer service.

SSL Assurance: Before buying an SSL from any SSL reseller, we should be aware of the SSL cancellation and guarantee policy in case the SSL doesn’t work correctly.

SSL Support: Know whether SSL support will be there for the installation process and selection process. SSL support always should be there via various communication channels such as chat, email, or phone calls anytime, 24/7/365. ]]> OliviaSSLGuru http://www.webcosmoforums.com/blogs/oliviasslguru/2515-creating-web-site-security-trusted-ssl-certificates.html Ruby on Rails 3.0 – Behind the scenes 3 Ruby on Rails Web development platform http://www.webcosmoforums.com/blogs/aguswsg/2503-ruby-rails-3-0-behind-scenes-3-ruby-rails-web-development-platform.html Thu, 17 Nov 2011 06:31:35 GMT As for Ruby on Rails has become a popular agile web development framework, Rails 3.0 beta features the development of the platform.

Whether you are a dedicated PHP developer interested in Rails or are in active use, it is important to understand Rails 3.0 in connection with a great platform for web development. As impressive as version 2.3 was 3.0 FIM natural development of a flexible framework that extends and simplifies development with Ruby.

Simplify the development process dependencies classes, now correct in this context, making it much easier to integrate JavaScript libraries like jQuery common with the helper classes. To understand the future direction of web frameworks, whatever your preferred language coding, the internals of Rails 3.0 gives an overview over the development process. Instead of having to write your code base from scratch, Ruby team built a system of dependence known as the Bundle, which quickly becomes your installation up to speed with the latest expectations framework in Rails 3

While the basic rails libraries remain independent and can run on its own, the software simplifies the process or can work in their own development. When we look at future trends in web development in general, Rails 3 provides a guide to understanding the major trends in the Model View Controller (MVC).

How Rails 3 modernizes the MVC Model

Many developers struggle with the layers of understanding of MVC and Rails framework can help provide an overview of the status of implementation of various processes. Rails 3.0 has integrated instrumentation allows developers to benefit from the wealth of information sources that newspapers can provide the ongoing testing and development.

Designed to simplify the development cycle, continues its way to a Rails production environment centered. In the desire to move towards a development platform is modular flexible even Rails, which is one of the most significant changes in the development environment in recent years. Key elements of the frame rails as Documents, controllers and transmitters have been self-extensions, so you can easily fit adjustment to suit your needs.

Optimization with Ruby on Rails

The increase in demand for modern databases for web development require continuous optimization of database queries. Consequently, the module rails "Active Record has the ability to refine the questions before they are built on SQL. With an intermediate step, you can define sub-categories, allowing you to add conditions on applications that can dramatically improve loading times.

If you look at a story about modern web development, both PHP and Rails point squarely toward closer integration with JavaScript and a more object oriented. With Rails 3.0, although the applications have been an object of class Rails:: Application, which allows you to centralize your configuration settings in a single configuration file / application.rb.

If the active beta version of Rails 3.0, Ruby on Rails team is focused on further refining the development of libraries. The central picture is now more flexible and stable, the occurrence of Rails helps start-up is a favorite enterprise-level framework built to scale.

Ruby on Rails, more popularly known as Rails is a dynamic application that programmers consider a dream come true to write a program is easy because it is an open source framework for the Web.

Rails are mostly used in dynamic web sites, applications and services. Programming is simple and, therefore, makes this time effectively. The documentation for this encoding expression are readily available online. Rails solves the things that the traditional programming and why a lot of codes, etc., was written before the entire program can be executed.

Migrating a database to another takes time because another program must be written, but the rails has eliminated the problem with just a single command or program. This is what the developers of this program, call the Convention over Configuration (CoC) because it demystifies any conventional method for the additional programming or to have from the drawing board, as they say, and s support more on conventions to get the job done so far as applications go from the programmer saves a lot of time and effort.

In this case, so the easiest way to adapt to the web servers and almost all available databases, due to its rapid application development that eliminates any compilation of programming goes so far. It also uses a Model-View-Controller, which separates the type of design for its implementation, which in turn separates the application logic and business rules user feedback that makes the smooth development of the program and updates more quickly. As for writing the code is concerned, the track is in charge of this and focus more on building its applications.

The effect of this is what people use this program called slogan dry, which simply means (do not repeat yourself).

I think the best part of using Rails is that it is adapted to any operating system and software, Apple, IBM, Sun Microsystems and Microsoft have to offer. This track gives a competitive advantage in programming are concerned that the results are immediate and if the changes it needs to be done by the programmer, he can do on site, including making model views If there is a need for improvement.

However, there are disadvantages as far as using the program going. It would be necessary to learn and study would be the infamous Ruby syntax, another is that the user of this interface need a dedicated server instead of a shared responsibility, because it can not match the speed combined with all For many users, causing a program crash. Rails users then had to pay to this aspect to the service required.

Most online sites used for blogging, social media marketing, as well as counseling centers, and start using Rails to run their applications. The most famous of these is on Twitter, LinkedIn, Groupon, Hulu, Yellow Pages, and more.

For this purpose, PHP code is embedded into the HTML source document and interpreted by a web server with a PHP processor module, which generates the web page document. It also has evolved to include a command-line interface capability and can be used in standalone graphical applications. PHP can be deployed on most web servers and as a standalone interpreter, on almost every operating system and platform free of charge. A competitor to Microsoft's Active Server Pages (ASP) server-side script engine and similar languages, PHP is installed on more than 20 million websites and 1 million web servers.

PHP was originally created by Rasmus Lerdorf in 1995. The main implementation of PHP is now produced by The PHP Group and serves as the de facto standard for PHP as there is no formal specification. PHP is free software released under the PHP License which is incompatible with the GNU General Public License (GPL) due to restrictions on the usage of the term PHP.
