If you want to make more money and profit from your affiliate links, you need to display them in different way. Don’t use the default link generated by your affiliate program script. Instead, hide it by using PHP file. [tags]php, html, affiliate tips[/tags]
I hid all my affiliate links in PHP file. You can see those links on my sidebar, under Featured Sites (Get Free $25USD, RM100 Advertlets Contest, Earn More Money ). Since the affiliate links are hidden, my earning from affiliate programs increase.
To create the PHP file is simple. I use Text Link Ads affiliate link for this example. Open your Notepad and paste this code.
<?php header(”location: http://www.text-link-ads.com/?ref=20378″); ?>
Next what you need to do is save it with .php extension and upload it to your server. I saved that file as tla.php and uploaded it to my /register/ folder on my site.

Did you know what is favicon? Favicon or ‘Favourites Icon‘ is a small image which displayed beside the URL in the address bar. And if you use a tabbed browser like Opera, Firefox, IE7, the favicon also being displayed on the tab. This icon is use as a trademark or a brand of your website.

This plugin is use to save any image smaller than 120 x 120 to .ico. But make sure your favicon is 16 x 16 in size because the default favicon size is 16 x 16.

First and foremost, I would like to say thank you very much for those who gave me comments and suggestions to my last post. Here, I found two ways how you can prevent someone from hotlinking your files and eating up your bandwitdh.
1st Method - CPanel HotLink Protection
If you use CPanel, you can set and block peoples from hotlinking your files with HotLink Protection option. Just login into your CPanel and click on the HotLink Protection icon. In the HotLink Protection page, you can set which urls you allow for access, file types that you want to protect, url to redirect the hotlinked files and option to allow direct request.
For more clear view about this, I have prepare you with a flash video on how to use the HotLink Protection option. I found this video from my hosting provider FAQ page.

I coded all my themes and CSS manually by using EditPlus 2, by hand. But when coded in text editor, your code might unstructureable and will slow down your site. That is why you need something that can optimize and tidy up your files.
Here has come a website called Clean CSS. Clean CSS is a nice utility that will tidy up your CSS file and will optimize it to make your site load faster. For an example, instead of
padding-top: 10px;
padding-right: 5px;
padding-bottom: 10px;
padding-left: 5px;
Clean CSS will tidy it into like this
padding: 10px 5px 10px 5px;
Beside that, Clean CSS will remove all unnecessary things and will pack your CSS file into smaller package.
