How The Google Cache Feature Saved Me A Lot Of Effort And Time

We all know how far reaching Google, we constantly use many of their services such as Gmail, Adsense, Adwords, Google Earth, Google Search and their just released Google Chrome web browser. What we don’t know is that Google offers so much more than just that, services that are really minor and often overlooked by many people. One such service or more accurately called as a feature of Google Search is it’s cache feature.

The cache feature displays a cached version of a website. Now, this feature alone can be useful in so many ways such as seeing how much a website has changed over a short period of time, loading webpages which are slow to load or are down and reading something the owner has just removed recently.

The Google Cache feature just saved me a lot of time and effort recently. I had deleted one of my posts which had taken quite an amount of time to write and I had no backups of it. I was quite devastated when it occurred to me that I shouldn’t have deleted it and now I had no way or time to rewrite it again.

Well, if it weren’t for me being a little enterprising and the usefulness of the Google Cache, that might have been the end of the story, a bad ending mind you. However, luckily I was quite creative and suddenly remembered about the Google Cache feature of Google Search. I typed in the URL of the post and was hoping that Google had managed to index the page (it was quite new) before I had deleted it. I needn’t have worried though, the posts had been indexed by Google and after just clicking the cached link and copying and pasting the content right back on my blog I had sorted out the dilemma I was previously in .

Learning point: Next time when you are in a fix, try to think creatively about how to solve the problem. And if you are blogger, now you know how to use Google Cache as a last resort to get back the content of your post .

Make Money Online From Your Website With Backlinks.com – A Text Link Broker

One of the easiest way to make money online from their website is selling text links. Text links are usually bought by other people who are willing to pay to help boost the PageRank their site. Although selling text links is easy as it does not require much work on your part to display the text link, it requires a lot of work to find people who want to buy text links. Backlinks.com is a text link broker which acts as a middleman who sells text links for you but who also takes a cut of your earnings.

Backlinks.com will allow you to generate additional income on top of all your other revenue streams (Google Adsense, Kontera etc) without doing any work. All you need to do is just add a special code given to you in your template and whenever anyone buys text links on your site from Backlinks.com it will automatically appear on your site. Backlinks.com only allows you to sell text links on web pages that have a minimum PageRank of 1, so these links are not site-wide but just limited to the page which it was bought from.

For the service they provide, Backlinks.com takes away 50% of the earnings, which means that if you earn $50.00 from it, you’ll only recieve $25.00 (yes, I know it’s a high percentage). Backlinks.com sends out payment through PayPal on the 1st of every month.

These are the rates for web pages depending on PageRank:

You will be paid the following monthly rates for text links. Rates are paid per month per text link.

PageRank (PR) 1 homepage $.50 , subpage $.50
PageRank (PR) 2 homepage $1 , subpage $1
PageRank (PR) 3 homepage $2 , subpage $1.50
PageRank (PR) 4 homepage $3 , subpage $2
PageRank (PR) 5 homepage $4.50 , subpage $3.50
PageRank (PR) 6 homepage $12.50 , subpage $10
PageRank (PR) 7 homepage $30 , subpage $25
PageRank (PR) 8 homepage $75 , subpage $50

So far within this week, I have sold 3 text links on my PR 2 homepage, giving me a $3 into my account. Yes, I know this isn’t much and the links are of low quality (you can control to a certain extent what kinds of links that are allowed to be shown) but still this is money coming in without me doing anything.

Google Knol The Wikipedia Alternative?

Google recently launched the public beta of Google Knol on the 23rd of July.

Knol is similar and yet different to Wikipedia in some ways. Firstly, Wikipedia users can create and edit any article they like (although there are some restrictions to seniority) but Knol is has articles created by authors who can choose whether to let other users or specific authors to edit their articles.

What makes Google Knol so interesting is that it allows you to place Google Adsense advertisements on your Knol’s, which means if you have a very popular Knol, you can earn a decent bit of income from it. As I had experimented a few days ago, Knol’s are indexed by the Google search engine, which means that your Knol has the potential to rank very high in the search engines results (just like Wikipedia) and if you have implemented your Google Adsense code into the Knol, you might earn a decent amount of cash. Who would have guess Google Knol becoming into a money making opportunity whilst building up reputation of the author at the same time.

Anyway, after learning about this I was kind of sad as I had gotten banned from Google a few years ago and as Google Knol currently does not accept other kinds of advertisement code on it, I guess I’ll just have to pass up this unique opportunity.

I’m still experimenting with Google Knol and seeing how it works and what other functions it can play, but for now it looks quite promising. And as Google Knol is still relatively young, we’ll give it sometime and who knows, maybe it might become the next big thing since Youtube
