3 Best Gmail Tips: How to Use Custom Gmail Addresses | How to Use Gmail as a Hard Drive | How to access GMAIL without Internet

Use Custom Gmail Addresses

You can make up an unlimited number of arbitrary email addresses to use. You can use all these addresses when making a purchase online or want to track a conversation or anything else.These email addresses you can create using plus-addressing.

Simply append a plus sign (+) and any string of letters or numbers (meaningful to you). For e.g. my mail id is amarjitsingh1984@gmail.com. Now I can create as many custom emails as I can. For all my online shopping’s, I am using amarjitsingh1984+shopping@gmail.com and to follow any comments stream online I am using amarjitsingh1984+comments@gmail.com. I can further create subtags such as amarjitsingh1984+News+hacking@gmail.com & amarjitsingh+News+cricket@gmail.com.

The magic of these email address is that all plus-addressed emails I am receiving to my mail id amarjitsingh1984@gmail.com itself only. Here I can use filters and labels in Gmail inbox as per my convenience.

Some of my favorite uses of plus-addressing are:

· Informing my mates for biking trip: I am inviting all my Venturous Bikers Team usingamarjitsingh1984+bikers@gmail.com and copying myself a copy to keep track. To finalize a trip, it takes around 20-30 days, so I can easily keep track all emails.

· Subscribing News Letters: All my newsletters I subscribed using unique mail ID. For e.g. useamarjitsingh1984+quickonlinetips@gmail.com to subscribe www.quickonlinetips.com newsletter & using amarjitsingh1984+hacking@gmail.com to subscribe hacking sites news letter.

Use Gmail as a Hard Drive

GMail Drive (http://www.viksoe.dk/code/gmail.htm) provides 2+ gigabytes of storage allotted to your Gmail account right onto your desktop. It looks and feels just like a regular hard drive, and it’s not available locally of course. This drive is networked.

Open http://www.viksoe.dk/code/gmail.htm and in download section, you will see Gmail Drive. Download it and install.


Enter your Gmail username and password and click the OK button to log in. Your drive will be ready to use. Simply drag and drop the data and files to and fro between your local drive and GMail Drive.

NOTE: Mac OS X (10.3 or above) users should check out the freely available gDisk (http://gdisk.sourceforge.net) that adds a Gmail-powered drive to your desktop.

TIP: Using this Gdrive, no need to stick with pendrive or any other external drive. Go to your friend’s place, open Grive and copy paste the required data. Now come back to you system and open it. SO SIMPLE.

How to access GMAIL without Internet

Using this gmail tool, you can access all you gmail mails even when you are not connected with internet also. Similarly like we are using outlook for or official purpose, you can use gmail. All you mail you send while offline will be placed in you outbox and automatically send when you connected to internet.

Once you turn on this feature, you need to download gmail gears on your system. As long as you stay connected with internet, this gear will continuously synchronize the cache on local system with gmail server .

Just follow these steps to get started:

· Click Settings and click the offline tab in your gmail inbox.

· Select Enable next to Offline Gmail.

· Click Save Changes.

· A POP up window will open asking to install gmail gears on your system. Click install

· After your browser reloads, you'll see a new "Offline" link in green in the upper righth corner of your account, next to your username. Click this link to start the offline set up process and download Gears if you don't already have it.

3 Best Tips before you do Google Searching again

Google queries are not case sensitive: Google doesn’t care if you type your query in lowercase letters (hackers), uppercase (HACKERS), camel case (hAcKeR), or psycho-case (haCKeR)—the word is always regarded the same way.This is especially important when you’researching things like source code listings, when the case of the term carries a great deal of meaning for the programmer.The one notable exception is the word or. When used as the Boolean operator, or must be written in uppercase, as OR.

Google wildcards: Google’s concept of wildcards is not the same as a programmer’s concept of wildcards. Most consider wildcards to be either a symbolic representation of any single letter (UNIX fans may think of the question mark) or any series of letters represented by an asterisk. This type of technique is called stemming. Google’s wildcard, the asterisk
(*), represents nothing more than a single word in a search phrase. Using an asterisk at the beginning or end of a word will not provide you any more hits than using the word by itself.

Google reserves the right to ignore you: Google ignores certain common words, characters, and single digits in a search.These are sometimes called stop words. When Google ignores any of your search terms, you will be notified on the results page, just below the query box. Some common stop words include who, where, what, the, a, or an. Curiously enough, the logic for word exclusion can vary from search to search.

Google Search is only 18% Search: Is Google becoming a Yahoo?

I was recently testing some of the keywords and positions for our help-desk app and it suddenly occurred to me that 80% of the page were not actually the search results. Check this out:


My brain got used to filtering the ads out, so it never popped into my head before... We are used to this picture. I actually had to get up from my laptop, grab a coffee and then glance back at my monitor from across the room to notice this.

ADs vs Results: area size


Now, we're all technical people so let's do the math:
  • The screenshot above is 1280x960 pixels (a typical resolution for a 13" wide-screen laptop and some older 15"s). My Mac has a 1920x1200 resolution, but still I prefer not to browse in full screen (actually, the only apps I run full-screen are the development ones - Sublime Text, Visual Studio, XCode etc.).
  • The search results take up 535x425 pixels.
  • Which makes it 18.5% of the window

I do understand that this stuff is resolution-dependent, but still... Only 18.5% of the screen is devoted to something that people are actually looking for.

Let me show you what "18.5% of the screen" really looks like:


ADs vs Results: UI elements count


Now, enough with the area size. Let's count the links - the clickable text UI elements.


The page has about 45 different links in total. Only 5 of them are the actual search results (I do not count the "sitelinks" - the sub-links shown under some results and ADs). Which makes it about 11%. Only 11% of the total links on the page are the actual search results.

(If we do include the "sitelinks", it makes 57 links, 10 of which are the results, which is 17.6%).

OK, let's be fair, some of the links are the tools ("Google Docs", "Gmail"), some are search modifiers ("Search near...", "Search images"), some are Google-Account utilities ("Sign in", "Settings") so let's drop these links and buttons... Let's count only the "blue stuff". I.e. links that "look like" the search results, not including the "sitelinks". We have 18 links in total. 5 are the results. Which is 27%.

The bottom-line is: even dropping all the "secondary" UI-elements, the Ad/Results ratio is almost 4-to-1.

Was it always like this?


Unfortunately, I was unable to find a screenshot of Google's result page back from the late 90s, but found some stuff from the 2000s. I did an image search for "large" images, dated "before 2008", searching for "google results", "serp page" etc. Obviously, I was not able to find a screenshot for these particular keywords ("saas help desk"), so I tried to find a screen with as many ads as possible. Since "saas help desk" turns out to be a pretty competitive term. Here's what I found.


The AD/Results ratio is 8 links to 7. Which is 47% of the links are the actual results.

Now, the area. The results are 779x595 pixels. The total size is 1108x790 (which is even smaller than my original screenshot). Which makes it 53% of the screen is taken by the results, more than a half (actually, even more, since it's a smaller screenshot and there are no more ADs below the fold).


What does this mean?


Google has cut down the results area by three times - from 53% to 18%. The company is obviously interested in people clicking more ADs (in fact, I believe that's also the true reason behind "Penguin" and "Panda") since it's the company's primary source of income...

But all I know is that in the early 2000s Google has become the #1 search engine because of the three things:
  1. Relevant results
  2. The speed at which they were served
  3. The simplicity of the UI
Looks like they're dropping #3 now. Is Google becoming a Yahoo?

Google SERPS - Mystery search algorithm gets Speed criteria

Google has announced that it will be adding the site speed or loading time of a website as a criteria for its Site speed as a new criteria ? - www.theprohack.comsearch rankings. this was indicated in Google’s last post in December and now its been formally announced by Amit Singhal, and Matt Cutts – Google's principal search quality team. Site speed as a new parameter reflects “how quickly a site responds to web requests" . This change is has been adopted to make this world a happier place

"Speeding up websites is important — not just to site owners, but to all Internet users. Faster sites create happy users and we've seen in our internal studies that when a site responds slowly, visitors spend less time there,"

Faster websites reduce operating costs, improve user experience and overall make internet a more habitable place. But as there are always two faces of a coin,some webmasters are just not finding site speed a solid idea. What about websites that have advertisements ? they will obviously load slower than websites with no advertisements and with plain html. What about websites with flash content ? Worse even,the Google Adsense and Google Adwords code is known to slow a website. Would that ultimately affect a website’s rankings ?

Google's New Search algorithm - www.theprohack.com

Google has provided a list of free tools to measure speed of a website. Tools like Google Pagespeed,Yahoo’s Yslow are provided to measure website’s speed. Google might use Google toolbar to measure website speed, but is it a reliable measure ? Further, the Google duo commented

“While site speed is a new signal, it doesn't carry as much weight as the relevance of a page. Currently, fewer than 1% of search queries are affected by the site speed signal in our implementation and the signal for site speed only applies for visitors searching in English on Google.com at this point. We launched this change a few weeks back after rigorous testing. If you haven't seen much change to your site rankings, then this site speed change possibly did not impact your site.”

Ah well…if this is true, then the current web design as we know it;is dead. Whatever the bets, a new competition of speed is being heralded in coming days.

Google

Google Search Engine most confusing Boolean operator is OR

The OR operator, represented by the pipe symbol ( | ) or simply the word OR in uppercase letters, instructs Google to locate either one term or another in a query. Although this seems fairly straightforward when considering a simple query such as hacker or “evil cybercriminal,” things can get terribly confusing when you string together a bunch of ANDs and ORs and NOTs.

Let’s take a look at a very complex example.

intext:password | passcode intext:username | userid | user filetype:csv

This example uses advanced operators combined with the OR Boolean to create a query that reads like a sentence written as a polite request.The request asked of Google would read, “Locate all pages that have either password or passcode in the text of the document. From those pages, show me only the pages that contain either the words username, userid, or user in the text of the document. From those pages, only show me documents that are CSV files.” Google doesn’t get confused by the fact that technically those OR symbols break up the query into all sorts of possible interpretations. Google isn’t bothered by the fact that from an algebraic standpoint, your query is syntactically wrong. For the purposes of learning how to create queries, all we need to remember is that Google read our query from left to right.

The previous query can also be submitted as

intext:(password | passcode) intext:(username | userid | user) filetype:csv

This query is infinitely more readable for us humans.

Google Street View goof up – Privacy Invasion, data theft and Apologies

You might have heard of Google street view, heck, some of you might be avid users of Google street view, which is aGoogle Street View goof up – Privacy, data theft and Apologies - theprohack.com service that allows you that provides panoramic views from various positions along many streets in the world. Google managed to pull up that by using its elite squadron of sophisticated technocars to capture both imagery and 3D geometrical data for Google Maps and data about Wi-Fi networks that it uses in its geolocation-enabled applications. The practice of mapping and gathering data has always been a controversial practice (giving too much of power in Google’s hand, or in any techno firm is a bad omen.). It was on April 27 when Google tried to clear up misconceptions in a blog post which can be easily summarized as -
  1. We are not invading anyone’s privacy &
  2. Take a look around folks, other people have been collecting data even longer then we have.
While the whole posts was quite edgy in nature, Google tripped and now has stated in an updated post that it was not only collecting SSID and MAC information from the wifi networks, but also “fragments” of payload data from open and insecure wifi networks they drove by. At the request of the German government, Google audited its data collection system more carefully & discovered that Street View cars have been accidentally using a piece of software that can collect data being transmitted over insecure wifi networks. But it was further clarified that since the cars were always moving and their networking monitoring devices changed channels five times a second, Google says they "typically" only picked up "fragments" of data.
Google Street View Cars - theprohack.com
Nevertheless, cars have been temporarily grounded and the data has been isolated till someone figures out what do do with it. Google intents to hire a third party to examine the software is "profoundly sorry for this error" and will try to learn from it. Quoting from the official blog post


The engineering team at Google works hard to earn your trust—and we are acutely aware that we failed badly here. We are profoundly sorry for this error and are determined to learn all the lessons we can from our mistake.


Inner thoughts -
I am glad German authorities are competent enough to sniff and dig facts and give an earful to Google.
Data collection is a scary thing anyways..we need to be paranoid of what data we are allowing to be public and private considering the vast attempts of world to catch us with our pants down :P Who knows that data might be jacked up with folks at CIA/FBI/NSA to track some sucker down (there's always a chance…remember FBI carnivore ? anyone ?).
Before the screw up, Google insisted what they were doing was nothing wrong. Frankly speaking, NO company ever admits to invading anyone's privacy. It's always "your privacy is important to us" blah blah blah…skepticism is the key to protect ourselves anyways.
In the end,


if privacy is outlawed, only outlaws will have privacy
(sorry if I sound corny.. but I couldn't think better)


Privacy Outlawed ? ah well.. - theprohack.com

Advanced password hacking using Google – easy to learn, easy to apply

Google is your best friend when it comes to hacking. The search engine giant has crawled loads of data which was intended to be protected by webmasters, butAdvanced password hacking using Google – easy to learn, prompt to deploy - theprohack.com is being exploited and mined by smart users using Google dorks. Today I will be discussing some practical dorks which will help you gain passwords, databases and vulnerable directories. The basic methodology remains the same, query Google using specialized dorks with precise parameters and you are good to go. I assume you have basic working knowledge of google dorks.

Lets start, shall we ?

FTP passwords

ws_ftp.ini is a configuration file for a popular win32 FTP client that stores usernames, (weakly) encoded passwords, sites and directories that the user can store for later reference.

intitle:index.of ws_ftp.ini

You can also this dork which uses "parent directory" to avoid results other than directory listings

filetype:ini ws_ftp pwd

Or

"index of/" "ws_ftp.ini" "parent directory"

even if the site or file has been taken offlline, you can still search the contents in the Google cache using the following dork

"cache:www.abc.com/ws_ftp.ini"

where

www.abc.com is the site you want to check the dork for.

The ws_ftp password uses quite weak encryption algorithm, hence once you get the password, you can break it using the decryptor provided here or from here.

PHP Hacking

Sites made in PHP have a file known as “config.php” which stores configuration and the username and password for the sql database the site is hosting. This password is required only once per transaction (i.e when ever admin logins or a transaction is committed at administrator level) and hence will be specified by the ‘require_once’ parameter in the config file or in index file.

intitle:index.of config.php

to view php file contents

intitle:"Index of" phpinfo.php

you can also try the directory traversal attack in php using the following dork

inurl:download.php?=filename

if you are lucky, substitute the filename with ‘index.php’, download it, read it and get the password (hint:if you are not able to find it, try looking for globals.php).

Since most websites today deny this trick, but you may get lucky with some :) You might also want to have a look at Hacking PHP 4.4 websites in 20 seconds

SQL Dumps

We will be hunting for SQL password dumps saved in database, here ext:sql specifies the type of password dump, e10adc3949ba59abbe56e057f20f883e is the md5 hash for 123456; one of the most common password people keep..and intext dork will allows to search inside the dump.

ext:sql intext:@gmail.com intext:e10adc3949ba59abbe56e057f20f883e

ext:sql intext:"INSERT INTO" intext:@somemail.com intext:password

Remember kids

  1. Use different email providers, substitute gmail/yahoomail instead of somemail ,or try custom domain mail providers.
  2. Use different file extensions.
  3. Use different type of hashes, some older ones might be using md4 and some others might be using other prominent encryption algorithms.
  4. just mix everything up and try different combinations :)

Its not over..Yet

A very flexible query can be used to hunt for WS_FTP.log which in turn can disclose valuable information about the server.

+htpasswd +WS_FTP.LOG filetype:log

You can substitute "+htpasswd" for "+FILENAME" & you may get several results not mentioned before using the normal search. You can further explore filenames by using keywords like

phpinfo, admin, MySQL, password, htdocs, root, Cisco, Oracle, IIS, resume, inc, sql, users, mdb, frontpage, CMS, backend, https, editor, intranet

The list goes on and on.. Also you cam try this dork to data mine information about the uploader

"allinurl: "some.host.com" WS_FTP.LOG filetype:log"

which tells you more about who's uploading files to a specific site, quite handy for some passive reconnaissance.

Also..if you are one hell of a lazy b**tard ,you can do it using some software like Google Hacks..but remember, manual way is the way to go. I may have included some software specific password mining, but that would cripple your imagination. My recco ? go postal by using your imagination and developing your own dorks and queries.

I guess that was enough for this time, will be coming with more tuts with time

Downright now - Monitoring if your favorite website is down

Last night when I was at Facebook, suddenly it stopped responding and the server requests just timed out.Downright now - Monitoring if your favorite website is down - theprohack.com I wondered if it was a problem with my ISP or the king of social networking was down at the moment. With nothing to do, I googled and stumbled across Downrightnow , a service that monitors your favorite websites. It compiles the status by combining
  • Reports from users who visit downrightnow
  • Public messages on Twitter from users who are having service trouble
  • Official company announcements and status reports
  • Other third-party web sites that monitor service status
Downright now - Monitoring if your favorite website is down - theprohack.com
As soon as I opened the website, I came to know that Facebook was having some problems at that time
Yep..Facebook was down - theprohack.com
Mission Successful :P I guess you will find it interesting.

Gmail enables Nested labels and Message sneak-peek

Gmail is now even more customizable as folks at Google provided the facility to arrange labels hierarchically. Now emails Gmail rockz !!   - www.theprohack.comcan be arranged even more intuitively by making a label child of another label. This highly requested label setting can be enabled by going to

settings-> labs –> Nested labels –> enable it –> save

Once you enable it, you can then name your labels with slashes (/) to make it a child of another label. Gmail enables Nested labels  - www.theprohack.com

For example, if you want to create a simple label hierarchy with a "Social networking" label, and inside it a "Digg" and a "Facebook" label,then you just need to create three labels with the following names:

Social networking

Social networking/Digg

Social networking/Facebook

You can then create “Social networking/twitter” etc to get something like the screenshot on the right. Also, if the parent label doesn't exists then you have to create it before hand.Here you can see above that I have even started to use it and have arranged my labels accordingly.

Another feature to preview emails have been added to Gmail. You can now preview messages by right clicking the mail. this feature is known as Message Sneak-Peek.

You can enable this feature by going to -

settings-> labs –> Message Sneak Peek –> enable it –> save

Message Sneak peek feature of gmail - www.theprohack.com

Experiment and get the max out of your gmail :)

Google GO – New programming front

Google Go is a new language developed by Google Inc which was first officially announced in November 2009. It’s a Google GO – New programming front compiled, garbage collected concurrent programming language. Language veterans Robert Griesemer, Rob Pike, and Ken Thompson initially started to design Go based on previous work related to the Inferno operating system in September 2007. Go has been deployed to compile on UNIX and Linux platform however as of the launch, Go was not considered to be ready for adoption in production environments.

With ken co creating Go,it has a syntax closer to C except for the type declarations; other syntactical differences are the missing parentheses around for and if expressions. Go has been designed with an aim to have exceptionally fast compilation times, even on modest hardware. Some of the features missing in Go as of now are exception handling, type inheritance, generic programming, assertions, method overloading and pointer arithmetic.

Here is an example of a Hello world program in Go -

package main

import "fmt"

func main()

{

fmt.Printf("Hello, World\n")

}

Go can be compiled using 2 compilers as of now - 6g (and its supporting tools, collectively known as gc) are in C, using yacc/Bison for the parser and Gccgo,a compiler with a C++ front-end with a recursive descent parser coupled to the standard GCC backend.

The industry reaction for Go has been mixed, with some veterans raising its fast compilation and others who criticized lack of features in it. judging by the reaction,one can simply say that Go is just not mature enough to be deployed to industry ready environments and has some rough edges to smooth out.

Google Hacks: How to use Google Web Search Basics

Whenever you search for more than one keyword at a time, a search engine has a default strategy for handling and combining those keywords. Google defaults to searching for occurrences of your specified keywords anywhere in the page, whether side by side or scattered throughout. To return the results of pages containing specifically ordered words, enclose them in quotes, turning your keyword search into a phrase search , to use Google's terminology.

On entering a search for the keywords:

Learn ethical hacking

Google will find matches where the keywords appear anywhere on the page. If you want Google to find you matches where the keywords appear together as a phrase, surround them with quotes, like this:

"Learn ethical hacking"

Google will return matches in which only those words appear together.

Google's Boolean default is AND, which means that if you enter query words without modifiers, Google will search for all your query words. For example, if you search for:

Learn ethical hacking website "penetration testing"

Google will search for all the words. If you prefer to specify that any one word or phrase is acceptable, put an OR between each:

Learn ethical hacking OR website OR "penetration testing"

* Make sure you capitalize OR; a lowercase or won't work correctly *

If you want to search for a particular term along with two or more other terms, group the other terms within parentheses, like so:

Learn ethical hacking (website OR "penetration testing")

This query searches for the word "website" or phrase "penetration testing" along with "Learn ethical hacking"

If you want to specify that a query item must not appear in your results, prepend a (minus sign or dash):

Learn ethical hacking website -"penetration testing"

This will search for pages that contain both the words "Learn ethical hacking" and "website," but not the phrase "penetration testing."

* Note that the symbol must appear directly before the word or phrase that you don't want. If there's space between, as in the following query, it won't work as expected: *

Learn ethical hacking website - "penetration testing"

Be sure, however, to place a space before the - symbol.

There are certain words that Google will ignore because they are considered too common to be of any use in the search. These words"I," "a," "the," and "of," to name a feware called stop words .

You can force Google to take a stop word into account by prepending a + (plus) character, as in:

+the hackers

Stop words that appear inside of phrase searches are not ignored. Searching for:

"the hackers" lifestyle

Will result in a more accurate list of matches than:

the hackers lifestyle

Simply because Google takes the word "the" into account in the first example but ignores it in the second.

The Google synonym operator, the ~ (tilde) character, prepended to any number of keywords in your query, asks Google to include not only exact matches, but also what it thinks are synonyms for each of the keywords. Searching for:

~ape

Turns up results for monkey, gorilla, chimpanzee, and others (both singular and plural forms) of the ape or related family, as if you'd searched for:

monkey gorilla chimpanzee

Along with results for some words you'd never have thought to include in your query. (Synonyms are bolded along with exact keyword matches on the results page, so they're easy to spot.)

If you're looking to spend $500 to $800 on a sony laptop; Google for:

sony laptop 10..15 inch $500..$800

The one thing to remember is always to provide some clue as to the meaning of the range, e.g., $, size, megapixel, kg, and so forth.

You can also use the number range syntax with just one number, making it the minimum or maximum of your query. Do you want to find some land in Noida that's at least 50 acres? No problem:

acres Noida land 50..

On the other hand, you might want to make sure that raincoat you buy for your terrier doesn't cost more than $10. That's possible too:

raincoat dog ..$10

Google normally does not recognize special characters such as $ in the search process. But because the $ sign was necessary for the number feature, you can use it in all sorts of searches.

Try the search - "weekly sale" bargains 10

and then - "weekly sale" bargains $10

Notice how the second search gives you far fewer results? That's because Google is matching $10 exactly.

How To Get Free Backlinks from EDU and GOV sites

In the cyber world, reputation of EDU and GOV domains are quite good and so the backlinks also worth a lot. To get a backlink from such domains are more valuable as compare to any other domain. To get free backlinks the first step is to find blogs and forums on edu or gov sites.

Hi friends,I m one of those guys who always sign in as invisible in my IM’s because if I set my status to “Online” or Detect Invisible Users on IM'savailable, at least 6 (unwanted) chat windows will open and pest me up. However recently one good friend of mine tracked my status (both on Gmail and Yahoo),slightly baffled I asked him how he did that,and here I m sharing with you how he tracked my status on both IM’s. You can use the given methods to find your friends who try to hide from us,the lesser mortals.
TRACK INVISIBLE USERS ON YAHOO
Yahoo Messenger is a bit cryptic when it comes to tracking users,so we can track their status by these 2 methods -
  1. Yahoo Invisibility Detection sites
  2. Using Yahoo’s URL Resources
Yahoo Invisibility Detection Sites
I’ve found many sites which helps you to see which of your buddies are hiding online,some of these sites are:
YDetector.com Trace your invisible friends on yahoo Messenger
Invisible-Scanner.com
DetectInvisible.com
YahooScan.net
Invisible.ir
These site are very easy to use and self explain themselves. Just enter the ID you want to trace and get the status.
Yahoo URL Resources
Here are a bunch of URLs that can be used to detect invisible users, just replace “[username]” with the username you want to detect :
http://mail.opi.yahoo.com/online?u=[username]&m=g&t=0
(Shows up a yellow smiley if the person is online and gray if the person is offline or invisible)
http://mail.opi.yahoo.com/online?u=[username]&m=g&t=1
(Shows up a button with “Online Now” or “Not Online”)
http://mail.opi.yahoo.com/online?u=[username]&m=g&t=2
(Shows an image with “I am Online send me a message” or “Not Online right now”)

http://mail.opi.yahoo.com/online?u=[username]&m=a&t=0
(Shows a text with “[username] is ONLINE or NOT ONLINE”)

http://mail.opi.yahoo.com/online?u=[username]&m=a&t=1
(Shows “00” if person is offline and “01” if he is online)
remember,You have to replace the text in RED color in the given URL with the Yahoo ID you want to detect,
for eg - my YahooID is “iamrdx” ,the first URL is :
http://mail.opi.yahoo.com/online?u=[username]&m=g&t=0
After the replacement it would appear as :
http://mail.opi.yahoo.com/online?u=iamrdx&m=g&t=0

  5. Now give any message.
  6. If the "xyz@gmail.com is offline and can't receive messages right now" message appears in red color it means your friend is really offline.

Improve Google Page Rank and Alexa Ranking

Showing up on search engines is one of the most critical ways to increase website traffic and expose your content, improve search engine rankings product or service to people who might be interested in what you have to offer. Most of the major search engines utilize an algorithm to determine where a website ranks.Google uses Pagerank system and Alexa uses various criteria’s to rank your position in related searches.A proven but little-known way to improve your page rank with Google and your Alexa ranking for new web authors is here for you.

Steps

  1. Build a website. NVU is an easy free WYSIWYG html editor or use a simple blogging platform like blogger,typepad or wordpress.
  2. Make sure that your site is optimized for the search engines and that all meta tags and robot tags are constructed properly.
  3. Focus building your site on original and unique content. Once Internet users start to appreciate and see the value in your website, they will begin linking to it.
  4. Submit your site map to Google to have all of your pages indexed.
  5. Submit to the main search engines, Yahoo, Google, MSN and any others that you prefer.
  6. Go to your favorite search engines and type in "social bookmark sites".
  7. Submit your site and any other favorite sites to as many social bookmark sites that you like.
  8. Submit your site to as many directories as you can, specially to those with high page rank like DMOZ or yahoo directory or to any smaller directory with lower page rank.
  9. Update your site frequently adding new content that keeps users returning to your site.

This method is two-pronged because not only will you get better positions in searches for your keywords, you are also going to receive one way inbound links for your website which will improve your search engine rankings.Add your website address sparingly to social bookmarking and wiki sites. Users who over-indulge in self-promotion will be perceived as spammers which may result in your website being added to blacklists or, even worse, your efforts to be simply ignored.Beware of duplicate content. Always make sure to check the content that you get by searching for the content on Google, Yahoo, and MSN.Be original and blog original. And just in case if you are copying from other blogs or websites,then do give a reference or link to the original source.

Good luck and

Offline Email - Gmail

Gmail Labs have introduced a new concept of Ofline email which uses Google Gears to download a local cache of yourOffline Email - Gmail - rdhacker.blogspot.com mail. As long as you're connected to the network, that cache is synchronized with Gmail's servers. This feature will be very useful to users who have less internet connectivity but use emails extensively.When you lose your connection, Gmail automatically switches to offline mode, and uses the data stored on your computer's hard drive instead of the information sent across the network.And if you're on an unreliable or slow connection (like when you're "borrowing" your neighbor's wireless), you can choose to use "flaky connection mode", which is somewhere in between: it uses the local cache as if you were disconnected, but still synchronizes your mail with the server in the background.

Offline Gmail is an experimental lab feature,which is made available to everyone who uses Gmail in US or UK English over the next couple of days, so if you don't see it under the Labs tab yet, it should be there soon. Once you see it, just follow these steps to get started:

  1. Click Settings and click the Labs tab.
  2. Select Enable next to Offline Gmail.
  3. Click Save Changes.
  4. After your browser reloads, you'll see a new "Offline0.1" link in the upper righthand corner of your account, next to your username. Click this link to start the offline set up process and download Gears if you don't already have it.
