Set Priority Inbox to Play Nice with Your Filters.

are still on the fence about Gmail's new Priority Inbox feature. One potential hurdle to its success: By default, Priority Inbox ignores anything your filters pull out of your inbox.

To give Priority Inbox a shot at determining the importance of all your email-and possibly outdo your carefully crafted filters—just go to your Priority Inbox Settings (that link should work if you're using regular old Gmail) and switch the Filtered Mail section to Override filters. It's a simple tweak, but it could make a big difference in how well Priority Inbox is able to analyze your inbox.

     
You also now have two new filtering actions that can either "Always mark it as important" or "Never mark it as important". In theory Priority Inbox could learn which emails those are by itself, but if you're not comfortable leaving it entirely to Google, it's a nice option to have.



While you're giving Priority Inbox the old college try, make sure you add the new keyboard shortcuts to your repertoire.

Use your extra Gmail space as a hard drive.

If you’re having extra space on your Gmail account and you don’t have extra space on your hard disk, you can use that free Gmail space as a hard drive. Using a cool freeware program called Gdrive will create an extra drive inside My Computer, and every time you use this drive i.e. use files from it, is actually downloading and uploading to your Gmail account.

1. First download Gmail Drive from here
     Download
2. Extract the files from the downloaded file and click Setup.

3. After the installation go to My Computer and an extra drive called Gmail Drive will appear

4. Double click it and a window with the user name and password will appea.....You will get a space of 7 GB.

Enjoy your extra drive space  

Create your facebook profile banner.

When Facebook launched their new profile design, users suddenly had a new way to customize their Facebook profile. Now, application developers have noticed the new feature and we’ve now seen the first profile customization application.

“Profile Banner Creator” enables users to customize their Facebook profiles by modifying the images at the top of the new profile design. The application, which can be found here or here, provides users with a number of banner images which with one click, will be posted to their profile.

One of the downsides of this app is that after you have gone to the application page and you have added the banner of your choice (you can even upload your own!) you need to adjust your privacy settings and set the visibility for photo’s you were tagged in to ‘everyone’ otherwise it will not work obviously!

Ultimately, this is only the first of what I’d assume will be a massive wave of profile customization applications.

How To Get Your Google Adsense Account Banned.

I was browsing the affiliate marketing forums last night and saw several new post about people who got their Google Adsense accounts banned. I see these types of post all the time and it leaves me scratching my head. It’s not difficult to follow the Google Adsense Terms Of Service.

1. From what I’ve been able to tell, there are two types of people who get their Adsense accounts banned.
2. Those who deliberately push the limits. They know there’s a chance of getting their accounts banned and they’re not surprised when they get the notice.
3. Those who do not take the time to read the TOS and are crushed when they get their banned notice from Google Adsense

Group #1 is understandable and most of them know the risk. There is no excuse for Group #2. It’s your responsibility as a Google Adsense Publisher to know the Google Adsense Terms Of Service (TOS).

• Here’s a quick list of the ways you can get your Google Adsense account banned.
• Click on your own ads. Sure, accidents happen. But if you’re so “clumsy” that you click on your ads 20 times in 10 minutes, you probably need to be banned. If you do accidentally click on your ads, contact Google Adsense immediately and let them know what happened.
• Put Google Adsense on websites that have questionable or banned content such as Hacker, Warez, Porn, Drug and Gambling sites.
• Showing Adsense ads on Registration or “Thank You” pages.
• Sticking ad relevant images next to your Adsense blocks. For example, tricking people to click on your ads by putting pictures of cell phones next to an Adsense block showing cell phone ads.
• Registering multiple accounts. I’ll just say it’s possible to have multiple accounts legitimately. However, for most of us, one account is all they will let you have.
• Registering an account after you have been banned. See above.
• Taking part in a “Adsense Click Ring”. These are groups of people who click on other members ads. Google is smart enough to figure this out folks!
• Putting Google Adsense on Pop Ups that keep generating other pop ups when a user tries to close them. This gets a lot of Adsense Account holders. This increases your “impression rate” thus messing with your data that Google uses. The best thing to do is to not put them on pop ups anyway. Google also does not want their ads on Pop Unders.
• Asking other people to click on your ads. Google says not to do it, so don’t. Simple as that. I’ve seen video’s and other forms of advertisements where goons asked people to click on their ads. It’s my opinion these people need to be banned!
• Disclosing click through rates, earnings per click and impressions. Although I don’t agree with this one, Adsense TOS says not to do it, so I don’t. Their money, their rules.
• Using malicious automation software such as ‘bots’ to click on your ads. Again, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know this is bad. I don’t feel sorry for these types of people either.
• Putting Adsense on pages with no content. Some people will put up pages with nothing except ads on them.
• Hiring overseas workers to click on your ads. There are companies/individuals who do nothing but click on Adsense ads. Do you really think Google can’t figure this one out?
• Creating Made For Adsense Websites. Google is beginning to really crack down on websites that are made just for Adsense.
• Putting Adsense ads on Hate websites. Bad business, don’t do it.
• Keyword stuffing pages. Google considers this a No-No and may yank your account for it. I use to see this a lot with Mesothelioma pages. (FYI, Mesothelioma use to be one of the highest paying keywords on the Internet)
• Putting Adsense on websites that promote guns & ammo, beer or hard alcohol, tobacco, prescription drugs, copyrighted infringement content, knockoff clothing or goods and sites that distribute term papers or essays.
• Using excessive profanity. I’m not sure who decides what “excessive” is, but Google will ban your Adsense for it damnit!

There are more, but the ones listed above are the ones I see violated the most. Here’s a link to Googles policy terms.https://www.google.com/adsense/policies and here is their Terms and Conditions page https://www.google.com/adsense/static/en_US/Terms.html

Long story short, if you value your Google Adsense account, play by the rules!

I don’t agree with all of the rules above, but like I say, it’s Google’s money, you have to play by Google’s rules. All the more reason all website and blog owners should diversify their sites income generating streams. If you live by Google Adsense, you might find yourself dying by them.
