Recover: Your Lost Wordpress Password

July 18th, 2008 | Posted in Self Improvement, Web Design/WordPress

Today I was surfing the Webmaster forums and a question came up to me. What can I do if I have lost my wordpress admin password?

The question looked interesting to me so I am writing on my blog. But most of you will say that there is a forgot password link so anyone can use that. Just think for a while if a person has lost his admin login too. I know you might be thinking how can this be possible, but it happens sometime.

Solution
Now the way I am suggesting you is very simple and everyone can use it. You need to have control panel access and phpMyAdmin access. Just follow the simple tutorial below and you can easily reset the password.

Simple Process to Reset the Password
Just login to the control panel of your website and follow this

• Open phpMyAdmin and browse to the database.
• Look for the wp_users table and browse.
• In that you will see the list of users that have permission. Just select which you think might be admin login and edit that complete row.
• After that you will come to the page where you will see the admin login name and password in the encrypted form, as you can’t make out from the encryption that what is the password. So use the encrypted password which is mentioned below and it will reset your password to 123456
• Encrypted password to write: e10adc3949ba59abbe56e057f20f883e

That’s it you password has been reset to 123456. Now you can easily login to the admin section of your wordpress blog and change the password to whatever you want.

My Suggestion
I would like to suggest you that if you cant store your sensitive information such as passwords and logins in the text file in your computer than you need to use Firefox as it stores password securely and without any leak.

Are Advertising Company Chasing?

July 18th, 2008 | Posted in Make Money, Self Improvement, Marketing

Recently I have seen that many advertising company have started chasing the websites, to apply or re-apply to them. In my case I have just been approved by adsense again.

The request I submitted for a re-consideration after banned from the network in 2005. At that time I was not able to find a good alternative to adsense. Therefore I started with CJ and I should say it really helped me saving my website in the mid 2005.

Also, I have been contacted by Chitika to re-apply to them. I almost received three emails from them during a span of 2months. First one I ignored and second also but the third email I got yesterday, I thought I should give it a try.

So, I submitted the re-application and you would not believe that within an hour I received a confirmation email from Chitika that my account has been approved.

The biggest for me was adsense approval because almost every user that I have come across with a banned adsense account is never approved again. So this was the biggest surprise for me. Also the request was submitted almost 3years ago and frankly speaking I have forgot about that.

The Concern
The question in concern is that these affiliate marketing or ppc companies have started falling short in the competitive world. Or else they are only chasing the good traffic.

I strongly believe that the issue is not only about quality traffic and websites. The core issue is how many publishers do they have in their database. As, many of the new affiliate companies have evolved and people have shifted their interests to them.

The also possible reason is that these new affiliate companies are paying much higher as compare to the developed. For a simple example: if you think about starting an affiliate marketing than rather going with CJ try for Pepperjamnetwork they are paying much hefty commissions and also have a paypal payment policy.

Conclusion
The new affiliate marketing companies have more user-friendly structure to attract publishers and they are literally stealing the authority of the developed affiliate companies. So to actually be in the race the developed companies have also revised the structure to an extent and started accepting a wide range of publishers.

How do you write on blogs?

July 16th, 2008 | Posted in Make Money, Self Improvement

Have you ever released that what is the right way to write blogs? I am not talking about what to write about niche and what content should be related to niche. But I am talking about he correct way of writing.

As I have personally witnessed that most of the bloggers even those who claims to be pro-blogger they also make some silly spelling mistakes, which rather changes the meaning of the sentence or immediately break up the reading of the users.

Why this happens?
The biggest reason according to me is that the blogger is in hurry and do not proofread the post. The hurry may be one of the reasons but there could be more for an instance; blogger is keen on thinking about the topic and because of this he misses the grammatical mistakes or the spelling mistakes.

Grammatical mistakes are also the blunder mistakes but it could be forgiven if the spelling is correct.

How to Correct
So, lets now talk about what to do to correct these mistakes. The space provided in the wordpress to write the post though its is fully customized solution i.e., you can bold, italics etc. But the spellings you need to write correctly or correct by your own.

One of the alternates is that you can write using Firefox browser in your wordpress as the new Firefox browser comes with spell check. But it’s not the ultimate solution.

The only solution that I have applied writing my post is to write first in MSWord and then copy it to the blog.

Conclude
This way you can prevent some of the silly mistakes that often happen due to mistyping. To make your authority with the post you need to have a spell check before posting it on your blog.
