Make any website editable : Just one line of code

Did you ever imagine that you can edit any page of any website by just a single line of code? Yes you just need to get one line of code to do it.

Of course you cannot edit it on the actual web server, you can do it on your screen only.

This is the most popular way for spammers to get similar kind of webpage and make fake screenshots. Also some bloggers use these techniques to show their fake google adsense earnings and any other statistics.

So finally the code is

javascript:document.body.contentEditable=’true’; document.designMode=’on’; void 0

All you need to do is just visit the site you want to edit and paste this code in browser’s address bar (tested in Firefox and IE7) and hit the enter button.

That’s it now you have full control of the page and you can edit it as you want.

Link Building and SEO mistakes you must avoid

Hey Readers, First of all I would like to thank you for showing this much interest in my posts. Here I am with another post as per my knowledge.
 
Many of us (including me) are sometimes doing some silly mistakes which disturbs google and it refuses some of our pages from its index.
So from my experiene here I am listing some mistakes that you should avoid.
 
Link Building Mistakes you should avoid
 
  • Avoid link exchange with bad neighbourhood. Because as per google, your PR is also depending on your link with your neighbour. So always be careful for what you are linking and where you are linked.
  • Do not waste your efforts in automated link submission. It will never work. So better put your efforts in genuine link building.
  • Always be careful when you put reciprocal link on your blog. As I described in my previous post it may harm your pages’ PR.
  • Dont ever think of spamming. I can assure you that by spamming google will kick you out soon from its index.
  • Be careful while you buy a link. Do not buy link for 1 or 2 months, buy a link atleast for 6 months or 1 year that will surely help you. Also do some analysis that is it surely going to profit your PR? If the answer is above 70% (my view) then you can surely go for that. :)
 
SEO Mistakes you should avoid
 
  • Do not waste time in researching the Meta tags. Just put few basic meta tags which indicated the interest of your blog.
  • Do not forget to put title and description for all the pages of your blog. Title is the most important element of your page as it is the first thing seen by the google when it crawls the page. Always give unique title to the page, dont just copy and paste. ;)
  • Never change the title of the pages which are already doing well in google. One time I did it for my one of the best performing page and I swear I suffered like anything to get that page back in the same position.
  • Avoid so many useless links on the page. As I have described earlier they are going to take some share from your PR.
  • Also make sure that you nofollow login, registration pages as well as header and footer links.
  • Always do proper formatting of the content. Try to use strong or italic tags as and when needed for content to look better. Search engines also consider this.
  • Try to avoid excessive use of ajax, javascript and flash for any kind of content display. Yes you can give facility to the users using these things but dont involve them with content of your blog.
 
Above are my views as per my experience. Please do not hasitate to share your views.
