So, you’re watching your website’s stats like a hawk. You visit Google Analytics page every day (I hope not every few hours!) to check how the day went. The annoying thing is that you always have to tell Google Analytics to show you the stats for the day and not for the entire month.
In this post, I will show you a quick and easy way to open Google Analytics page directly to the day view rather than the month view.
Most people just accept the default, out-of-box layout of blogs even though they know it is not optimal for the nature of their blog. I’m not the first to say that blog navigation is a nightmare.
Why is that?
The main problem with blog navigation is that the content is not interlinked properly. That’s especially true for generic blogs that aren’t about one single topic.
When a visitor lands on your generic blog, they’re probably interested in only one of the topics that you cover. Say that topic is dogs. Even though all of your dog posts are grouped by “tags” and “categories”, your blog sidebar is probably distracting the visitor with links to other unrelated content about cycling, rock climbing or whatever else you write about.
Don’t distract your readers.
Give your readers only what they’re interested in at that moment and help them find more of it. Doing that will make your visitors stick around longer, browse more pages, and even improve your SEO!
Here’s how you can achieve that. Read more…
YARPP is an essential WordPress plugin because it improves the navigation of your blog and therefore it adds more search engine optimization weight to your pages.
Most blogs list links to related posts at the bottom of each post page. Another great place to list related links is in the sidebar. YARPP does come with a sidebar widget. But as you can see in the plugin’s forum, many people are having problems with it. Also, it doesn’t allow you to separate the style and template from the main related posts links. Even the author of the plugin has disowned the built-in widget!
What I’ll show you here is how you can create your own YARPP sidebar widget and give it a different style and template from the main related posts links. Read more…

It is confusing that the multiplayer mode allows two separate weapon attachments that feel essentially similar. Well, it was confusing to me in the beginning. But when you get past the huge learning curve of MW2 and start noticing the subtleties of the game — those details that give you the slight needed edge — you’ll start seeing more than a few differences between the holographic sight (HS) and the red dot sight (RDS).

I have written an article earlier on how to generally cloak and organize affiliate links in WordPress. But in this article I will show you how to setup your WordPress system so that you can easily create and cloak Amazon affiliate links on the fly.
The end results will be something like this. To link to an Amazon product, you would simply put
http://yourdomainname.com/amazon/[ASIN]
And this unique link of yours would forward to Amazon’s product and credit you for any sales. As you should’ve guessed, to link to a different product in Amazon’s catalog, you just change the ASIN number in the link above.
This should make it very convenient for you not only to link to Amazon, but also cloak your links effectively.
So, let me show you how to set this up…
