YouTube Started Support for HTML5

Do you remember HTML 5? YouTube has become one of the first companies to adopt HTML 5. Recently, it has showed a sample demo of HTML5-based video player. Since then many casual viewer as well as webmasters and HTML experts has flocked around TestTube (YouTube’s idea incubator) to sample HTML5.

What do you need to see it?

You need an HTML5 supporting web browser: Opera, Chrome, or Chrome frame in Internet Explorer to sample YouTube HTML5 Video Player.

Why?

Once HTML5 becomes the standard, the video can be viewed without any Plug-ins (Adobe Flash), and it will remove our dependency on proprietary plug-ins like Adobe Flash and Microsoft Silverlight. HTML5 uses a simple code to render the video.

As written on the YouTube’s official blog, YouTube is launching it as an experiment with some limitation.

“Our support for HTML5 is an early experiment, and there are some limitations. HTML5 on YouTube doesn’t support videos with ads, captions, or annotations and it requires a browser that supports both the video tag and h.264 encoded video (currently that means Chrome, Safari, and ChromeFrame on Internet Explorer).”

HTML5 is going to change the way we access net and design pages. If you want to be part of this change then you can start with participating in YouTube experiment.

SEO Tips – Optimize Your E-Commerce Website

“What the heck is so different about optimizing an e-commerce website? I think, it’s all the same.”

This is a typical newbie response when the here SEO for e-commerce is different than SEO for normal website. And in this mini – series, I will tell you how you can optimize your e-commerce website. These are the same tips that Amazon, eBay, and other online biggies apply to their e-commerce website. You can also apply these tips in your e-commerce website and take your e-commerce website to the first page of Google.

We will start our discussion with learning about keywords in the context of e-commerce website.

Tip 1: Find Commercial keywords

Use the keywords tool that you have to find the keywords that people type when they need to purchase some stuff. Abstain from keywords that include the word “Free”, “Freebie”, “giveaway” etc., whereas keywords that include “sale”, “discount”, “cheap”, etc., should be devoured for. When conducting a keyword research for your e-commerce website then do it with an intention to find commercial keywords only. If you have added blog to your e-commerce site then use these commercial keywords in blogs as well.

Always remember, people do not search for or very rarely search for brand name, and ISBN number; what they search for is the solution to their problems. Keep this in mind when making a list of keywords to use in your e-commerce website.

Tip 2: Keywords column in database

While creating a database make a column for SEO keywords along with product, price, brand name, SKU code, ISBN number, category, etc. The keywords you feed in the database should also go into page titles of the web pages, meta keyword tag, meta description tag, as well as in the content of the body. This is important in order to make your product searchable in search engines.

Tips 3: Singular and plural keywords

If you have been doing SEO optimization for quite some time then you must be aware that a singular keyword fetches one kind of traffic, while, plural get another kind of traffic.

Do not use plural keywords on product pages. Limit its use to home page and your sales landing page. Product page should only take singular keyword.

Tips 4: Do not Stuff your keywords in navigation

Do not stuff your navigation with keywords. This is pointless. It bores the audience, and repels them.

Basic Facebook Etiquette

Facebook is a killer app. It has literally killed many social networking sites. Most notables of them are Orkut, and MySpace. Yes, MySpace and Orkut are long dead, and what you see for Orkut and MySpace these days are nothing but the corpses.

Social networking sites are not the only things that Facebook killed during its rise to the status it currently enjoys, the social networking giant has also accidentally killed the basic etiquettes people had in pre-Facebook era. My goal in this article is to help people reinstate the good old ways of doing things. I want people to be considerate as they were in past. Hence, in this short blog post, I will point out the bad behaviors that Facebookers should avoid.

Basic Facebook Blunders

  1. Playing games and publishing all the updates (minor or major) is the first misconduct to go in the list. People are in the habit of playing multiple games and publishing even the tiniest of update. Avoid doing it. This act irritates everyone. Major updates could be okay.
  2. Sending numerous quiz requests is another bad behavior. It should be avoided. Do not send a take-this-quiz request to every friend in your list. This is a surefire way to make people angry. No one opens his mailbox to see how many quiz request he got.
  3. Do not send unlimited likes and dislike alerts. These updates piss people off.

At this moment, I cannot think of any more Facebook misdeeds that can cause others to flinch. Can you help me in listing more? Use the comment box below to do that.

Who Else Wants to Earn From His Blog?

If I asked you this question that how one can make a living from his blog. What would have you been your answer? By selling ad space and securing sponsorship?

Well, you are right, but not completely, as there are many ways to make money from a blog. In this blog post, I will share all the possible ways in which you can earn from your blog.

Selling Ad space

This is the most common type of blog monetization, and this is the easiest way as well. You just need to register yourself to a PPC, PPM, or affiliate network followed by placing their codes or banners on your blog. Afterward, wait for users to click on any of them for you to make money.

Tip Jar

If you are considered an expert in your field then you can prepare a tip jar (e-book), which people will pay to read. Free tip jars also secure donations from readers.

Donation

Donation model is not new, but it is very effective. If people like you, they will donate you some money. Put a “buy me a beer” link followed by PayPal button, and see how many people are paying you.

Paid reviews

If your blog has good flow traffic then you can also sign-up for the paid reviews website, but always remember paid review may reflect badly on you. You will have the freedom to choose the kind of reviews you will write and post on your blog.

Blog trading

This is not something which most bloggers do, but there are some online entrepreneurs who will setup a blog, optimize it for search engine, get good Page Rank, post insightful content, and then will sell it.

Information products

Selling information products, either yours or someone else, is one of the ways to make money from blog. Write a book, promote it, and gauge the reaction.

Coaching and consulting

If you are a star in your field with a proven record then you can even impart training to others. You can also work as a consultant. These are the really good paying works, but not everyone can go for these.

Merchandising

This option is not for all. Only a strong blog with a huge fan base can use this technique. You need to have a huge base of followers that devour whatever you write or do.
