How To Block Ads (in your blog) From Specific Websites – Google AdSense Trick

March 23, 2014 by Arun Sarathy Leave a Comment

Blocking certain ads from displaying on your website will not only help in avoiding those ads on your website, but will also ultimately help in increasing your income. The reason is that not all ads are interest based. Some ads show up as back up when Google cannot find relevant keywords in your blog post. That’s when some common ads are shown instead of relevant ones.

The maximum number of ads that can be blocked per one AdSense account is 500. This can be at the site level or the account level – either ways, the upper limit is 500.

How to block:

Go to AdSense account > Allow & block ads section.

On the left side – under the Content menu – select your site. On the right side, under Advertiser URLs, type in the URL that you want to block. Hit on Block URLs. This will ensure that ads from that particular advertiser will not appear on that site which you selected.

If you want to block ads at the account level – which means that ads from that URL will not appear on any of your sites within AdSense account – select All my sites under the Content menu on the left side and simply enter the URLs under your Advertiser URLs. This will ensure the ads from that blocked URL will not appear on any of the sites included in your AdSense account.

Remember, do not click directly on the ads to find out the URLs. Instead of creating such invalid clicks which is against AdSense Program Policies, you can just find out by using Google Publisher Toolbar – which is available from the Chrome Extensions page here.

How to keep the paragraph settings as default in Microsoft Word 2007

March 18, 2014 by Arun Sarathy Leave a Comment

When typing in a word document you may notice that by default the line spacing is either 1.5 lines or 2 which is quite irritating while editing a normal, personal word document – nothing official.

When we navigate to the Home > Paragraph > Spacing section – you can see that the ‘After’ field is 10pt by default. You will have to change it to ‘0’ (zero) so the spacing is minimal. But this setting has to be made everytime.

So how to make this setting with zero line spacing as default?

In the same window, there is button that reads ‘Default…’. Just click on it to make your current changed settings as default. That’s it!

To change this default to normal or any other setting – simply make your changes and click on ‘Default…’ button again to keep the new settings as your default.

Note that this change only works for the current document. If you open a new document, then the changed settings won’t apply.

Facebook Keyboard Shortcuts – Most Essential Cheat Sheet For Facebook Addicts

March 18, 2014 by Arun Sarathy Leave a Comment

Facebook as a sharing platform has accomplished its goal. No doubt. Its niche is constantly evolving with new updates from every corner of the world. Overnight, any individual over 13 years of age and any business can create a tiny website for themselves by way of a profile or a page, respectively.

Facebook in its entirety being useful or not, is not the case of concern. But few keyboard shortcuts are certainly useful to save some time when using Facebook.
This is really funny here because there are some organizations that scream at their employees of low productivity and wasting time in Facebook. And here we are talking about saving time while using Facebook – however funny it might be, it certainly is true when you use keyboard shortcuts to get some things done within facebook.

With these keyboard shortcuts you can essentially speed up your pace at which you update your status, timelines, profile, check your friend requests, etc.

Keyboard and Browser types

If the computer you use doesn’t have a numerical keyboard – a separate num keypad, then the keys you press should be used by hitting the ‘shift’ key when pressing shortcuts that have numbers in it. When you use Internet Explorer, with every key press, hit the Enter key for shortcut to work. It’s that simple! (Pun intended).

How to keep ‘Explorer’ view as default view in Windows XP? (Five easy steps with screenshots)

November 24, 2013 by Arun Sarathy Leave a Comment

How often you have thought of maintaining a particular style of look and feel of your computer screen, no matter what enhancements are introduced in the market?

Most of us still like to use (and stick to) Microsoft Windows XP.

And sometimes we get used to using the ‘Explorer’ view in our Windows XP machine, which shows the folder tree structure instead of the common tasks. But this is not the default option always.

If you would like to keep this setting as the default option, just follow the simple steps given here:

Open My Computer, My Documents or any Folder.
Click on Tools menu and then click on Folder Options.
Now, click on [NONE] Folder and click on Advanced button. The Edit File Type window opens.
In this window, under Actions list, select ‘explore’ and hit on ‘Set Default’.
Click on ‘OK’ in this window and also on Folder Options window. Hereafter, whenever you open any folder, it opens up in Explorer view.

Repeat the above steps to set the default view. You just have to click on ‘open’ instead of ‘explore’ under Actions menu to revert to default view.
