The Most Useful PHP Script

I’ve been blogging for over a year now, and it occured to me today that I hardly have any articles or posts regarding web development tips and tricks. So I’ve added a new category and will begin filling it out with posts. But on to my topic.

Many new webmasters begin their personal development by learning html. HTML is great for building static webpages, however it has many limitations that make it difficult to conveniently administer a hand coded website without using a server side scripting language such as PHP or ASP. When I began learning ASP I was taught about include files and how a single line of code can save you hours of work coding and recoding the same code across your website.

Include files are the best way to jump into PHP or ASP, they’re very simple to emplement if you’re web server already has PHP or ASP scripting. In PHP you simply place the following line of code at the top of your page.

<? include(‘header.php’) ?>

This will include the file header.php that is in the same directory as the page you are attaching the file to.

Clickbank Gravity Basics

What Is Clickbank Gravity And How Does It Help You As An Affiliate?

Author: Ray Johnson

One of the easiest ways to get started marketing on the internet is through affiliate marketing.

Affiliate marketing is sending leads to a sales page and getting paid for everyone of your leads that buy. But how do you select an affiliate product? How can you tell which affiliate products will sell and which won’t sell?

The process of choosing an affiliate program to become involved with is not as hard as it may seem as long as you know what to look for and what you want. You need to know how to search for affiliate programs and how to compare one to another.

The first thing you need to know before you pick an affiliate program is what market or what niche do you want to sell in. For example do you want to sell internet marketing information, self help information or gardening information?

There are so many products you can sell, you need to narrow you choice to start with by answering that question. You will be most likely to succeed in an area you either know something about or are interested in.

Once you pick your niche you are ready to start looking. The largest collection of information products with affiliate programs is Clickbank. There are thousands of products in dozens of categories and hundreds of sub categories listed for affiliates to choose from.

Go to Clickbank and look around a little bit to get a feel for the site and read some of the information about getting started. If you do not have a Clickbank account, you need to sign up for one. It is through this account that you will be paid, so it is important to sign up.

Once that is done go to Clickbank marketplace. There is a link to marketplace at the top of the main page. Marketplace is where you can search for affiliate programs. They are organized by categories which is why you need to have an idea about the market or niche you want to sell to ahead of time.

There is a simple search engine there that will allow you to search by category, keyword, and sub-category. Once you enter the search parameters the system lists your results. There are some statistics that are shown for all each of the results. The key ones are gravity, total earned per sale, percent earned per sale and percent of sales by affiliates.

The most important number is gravity. Gravity is a score that Clickbank assigns to each affiliate product according to their secret formula. It has to do with how many sales and how recently those sales have occurred.

Suffice to say that high gravity means that affiliates are making a lot of commissions on sales. Low gravity means that there has not been many sales at all. So the gravity is an important measure of how successful a product is.

You do not want to select the product with highest gravity because that also means that there will be the highest number of competitors selling that product. It would be very difficult for you start with a product that has so much competition.

You would be much better off looking for a product with a gravity somewhere between 75 and 150. That way you know that the product sells fairly well and you won’t have as much competition as the top products will have.

Once you find a number of products you might be interested in based on the gravity and category you can then start looking at the other factors such as total paid and percent paid. Always start with a good number of possibilities and narrow it down from there.

You can be more confident in picking the right affiliate product by understanding how to use the gravity numbers at Clickbank. That is a great start to picking your winning affiliate product.

8 Ways to Keep a Small Niche Site from Dying or Becoming Unsellable

He is an excellent writer and for those of you that are struggling to make it on the internet, he is a source of inspiration because he puts his thoughts out there in a way you don’t get from following John Chow.

Free Open Source PHP Game – Monocountry

This is a file I thought I had lost and would not be able to replace. When I got the Monocountry code it was open source. Now Monocountry is considered simple and outdated but it is the basic framework you need to start a nice php game.

Download Monocountry

If you liked this download you should also check out Kiddie Kartel I found it on the same website for download and if I remember correctly you set up lemonade stands. I’ll see when I set up the demo later.

If you have any problems downloading this script you should check the new landing page on the Web Development Blog.

UnChrome 1.1 – Google Chrome Utility

According to Google, their web  browser “Google Chrome is a browser that combines a minimal design with sophisticated technology to make the web faster, safer, and easier”. However Google Chrome assigns each user a unique ID that makes it easy to identify each user. UnChrome sets this ID to Null and only has to be run once for the changes to take effect.

The functionality of Google Chrome is not effected by this. If you are currently using Google Chrome please close all instances of Google Chrome before running this utility.

Myspace Mobsters App

If any of you play mobsters please send me an add: http://myspace.com/byronthurman

Okay first things first there are 3 types of accounts when you play mobsters, each one gives you a little bit of an advantage while you play but for the most part they all have their benefits and it depends a lot on what type of strategy you will use.

The first method that I personally used is travel up the ranks quickly doing missions… this is fine but I missed out on a lot of other ways to make cash on mobsters such as bounty hunting and fighting. You can really make a lot more money once you realize how much money you can make just fighting. Your resources get stretched more thin but you come up faster, at least that is my theory. I’m about to set up my third account. It’s going to be thenewvirus.com or something as similar as I can get for promotion and I’m going to try to really make some money in the game. The Godfather will be proud.
