May 14th, 2008How To Keep Kids Entertained In A Family Vacation

Lets face it if you go on a family vacation the kids will get restless if you are going on a long trip. You need to keep the kids entertained otherwise the kids will talk your ear off and you know the scenery and the landscape will not keep their interest for to long. Yes it would be great if the kids decided to take a nap but lets face it is not always going to happen like that. The radio is a good thing but there again it will only hold their interest for a little while. So what do you do to entertain the kids on a long car ride? Here are a few suggestions to entertain your kids for that family vacation you want to go on and most of these things will not take up much room in your suitcase.

Kids Vacation

One good thing to bring that will keep the kids entertained is a good supply of coloring books and plenty of crayons to go around. Of coarse this is a great idea for little kids but some of the older kids would enjoy it to. Sketchbooks also fit into this category so just bring along some colored pencils and color in the sketchbook. Now the kids can draw what they see on the want to your destination.

Another good idea to bring on the long trip you are taking is some travel or pocket games. These games are easy to find and the pieces have magnetic boards so the pieces do not go flying off of the board and so you can still play your game on a bumpy road. These games are played just like the original just smaller to fit into your travel bag or other forms of luggage. A great way to pass the time on a long trip is to play a board game or you always have the alternative, you can read a book.

May 12th, 2008StumbleUpon Can Cause Termination Of Your Google Adsense Account

I’ve already heard too much that StumbleUpon is against Google Adsense TOS in some way, but i wasn’t sure until I found that a friend of mine really suffer from Stumble traffic and his account could get a kick off because of StumbleUpon.

The story begun 1 month ago when I’ve launched a new website in my websites network, The website is a Flash Games Portal. Everything was allright with Google, and I was getting in average a CPC of 15 cents although the website still has a little traffic. 1 week ago someone bookmarked one of my website games on StumbleUpon, I’ve received 3264 visits from StumbleUpon, I know you can consider it as a good thing, in fact it wasn’t. I’ve received 309 clicks from this traffic and got 2.05$ from it ! which means i got less than 1 cent ( 0.01$ ) per click, to be exact it was 0.0066$ per click ! Could you believe this ?

This happened with many publishers not only me. Google Adsense may consider those clicks as invalid ones or maybe they consider Stumbleupon traffic as a cheap one.

Social Bookmarking

You probably want to know why this happened, well maybe because StumbleUpon - and other Bookmarking Portals as Digg, Simpy, Furl… whatever not only Stumble - sometimes drives the traffic to your website under an iFrame, this technique is considered by Google Adsense as Auto-Surf Traffic and this is against Google Adsense TOS. Thats why, you’ll probably get a VERY LOW CPC !

So, why i still using Socialbookmarking services ? Because it help us to share information, meet new people and get new stuff everyday.

Well, what about you ? What do you think ?

May 11th, 2008Goals You Want To Reach When Building A Website

The first thing you need to do in building a website is you need to come up with a topic for your site. Decide what your site is going to offer, what services or other products you plan to have on your site. If you want to do well make sure you choose a topic that you are well informed or know a lot about. This way you can update your own site and keep it up and running. Here are a few tips to help you in maintaining your site for little to no money.

Goals It is crucial that you check out all of the domain names you are looking for. Some domain names are cheaper that others like a .com is more expensive because everyone wants a .com. this is because the .com is more popular that lets say .net or .org but these are all good domain names. Once you have chosen your domain name it is time to choose who you are going to have host your site. Try and stay away from free hosting and find one that offers a quick upload site. With this feature your website will be added as some as you are done building it.

You have to take careful precautions when building your website. You want to keep your pages simple and to the point to offer your product. Have a page load in 7 seconds and do not load it down with a lot of pictures. The more graphics you add to your site the slower the pages will load and no one is going to stick around if your site does not load in a timely fashion. Once your site is built, you want to start driving traffic to your site so you can make some money. Start inviting friends, colleagues and everyone else who want to see your site. The more traffic you get to your site the more money you arte going to make.
