Really simple and straightforward. There are several use cases that I can come up with that applies to URL redirection. For my own website I've been using lot of this stuff so would like to share it. You dont have to be master of anything to do these sort of things because they are really straightforward. But if you like to go into much depth of mod_rewrite then offcourse you can read the book on to the right. I am dead sure that you will find this book helpful. Three steps to make sure that all will work correctly as as below. First make sure that Apache mod_rewrite module is available and is loaded Scondly make sure that under your website directory options you have AllowOverride option set to all i.e. <director “path/to/your/website/directory”> AllowOrderride All </directory> Third is to make this change in your .htaccess file For redirecting everything from yourdomain.com to yourdomain2.com do this The above will work but more better way to do the above is below. This applies where you got no control over Apache configuration and you are not sure whether mod_rewrite module is available or not. The above lines thus can be rewritten as below I hope this helps. … [Read more...]

Hi Guys, batch sleep command has been tested on Tested on windows vista, windows 7, SBS 2011, Windows 2008 R2 So I had this problem where I have to introduce 20 second pause during my batch execution. I did not find any Microsoft Windows command that does this sort of stuff. So I wrote batchsleep.exe. This utility can be downloaded from this page. You have to scroll a bit to get to the download link :) Alright lets get back to the util now. Here are the usage instructions for using batchsleep.exe. First up wherever you extract this archive make sure to add that path in Windows Environment Path variable so that it is available from any where By default batchsleep will pause for 1 second but you can override that behaviour by using something like this // above command will introduce a pause for 10 seconds Now this above command will output few lines of text. So if you like to run it quietly then do it like read the above as "Pause for 10 seconds quietly" Prerequisite: .NET framework >= 2.0   {filelink=8}     Now the main part, the license and liability THIS SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND ANY EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE ARE DISCLAIMED.

Alright so the logic is pretty simple. As I've been trying to find best advertiser who can make me money I got into this situation where I could not understand certain terms. One of them was EPC EPC means Earnings per click and it is generally calculated on the basis of per 100 Clicks. Interesting! I am not sure why they don't call it EP100C or EPHC (Earning per hundred clicks) (these guys are really good) Alright so I tried to sell and you are like Man get to the point :) Alright! lets get back to the point Suppose 3 month EPC for Advertiser Inkjet Superstore is equal to US$42.00 and 7 day EPC for Advertiser Inkject superstore is equal to US$25 The here are you earning results For the past three months, a publisher that means you (because you are publishing their ads) earned US$42 for every 100 clicks (monthly average). And During the past 7 days, a publisher (that means you) earned US$25 for every 100 clicks (daily average). I am an affiliate of above mentioned advertiser So in mathematical terms EPC = Profit ÷ Clicks × 100 Consider the below affiliates from commission junction     By looking at the above screenshot from commission junction, I can see that for the period of the last 3 months, an average payout to GoDaddy affiliates has amounted to $21.53 per every 100 clicks sent to GoDaddy, and for VMWare affiliates, they've been earning an average of $28.08 on every 100 clicks referred for last 7 days. Commission Junction's definition for EPC is as follows Your success is relative to how many visitors you can drive through your site or paid search link that will generate sales for an advertiser you are promoting. EPC does not mean that if someone clicks on that link 100 times you earn the dollar amount in the EPC. Your EPC is calculated in an "apples to apples" comparison with all publishers by taking each publisher's total commissions earned (regardless of currency) and then … [Read more...]
