Only registered domains are allowed to Display Imageshack Hosted Images

Last time when I checked my blog, I shocked to see that all images in my blog turned to a picture of a yellow frog in an ice cube. There was a warning in that picture "Domain Unregistered. To view register at bit.ly/imageshack-domain". I am hosting most of my images in ImageShack because it is easy to use and they are doing a great service for free. Anyway, I log on to my ImageShack account and registered my domain name with a small description of my website. Within a few minutes, all the images in my blog started showing and the picture of yellow flog is no more. Maybe imageshack took such a decision ( only registered domains are allowed to display images hosted in ImageShack )to avoid any misuse of their service but I strongly believe I did not get any information from them prior to suspending showing images on my blog.


Only registered domains are allowed to display imageshack hosted images

All my images hosted in Imageshack turned to the above image and they turned back to original images after registering my domain name with them.

Getting Warning, This Site May be Compromised in Google Search Results

Today morning I got a call from one of my friends who is running an e-commerce website. His users are getting a warning about his website in Google Search Results,  This Site May be Compromised. He has no clue about how this error happened and there is no symptom of virus infection in his server. There are no Antivirus popups which saying potentially harmful site while loading his website in our computer. So I told him to login to his Google webmaster tools account and check whether there is any message from Google.


In webmaster tools account we found a message with headline "Notice of Suspected Hacking on --- ".
hack website


We got a list of sample URLs which are injected by third party sources. It helped us to identify the source and removed these files. Surprisingly there was no review link provided in Google Webmaster tools. So we believe Google will automatically check the pages after we remove the unwanted pages and remove the label "This Site May be Compromised".


"This Site May be Compromised" Vs "This site may harm your computer"

“This site may harm your computer” link is applicable to the websites where some malicious content present. For other websites which do not have malicious codes but have a strong reason to believe as a compromised (hacked )will be labeled as "This Site May be Compromised". Since my friend's website do not have any malicious page, it is being labeled as "This Site May be Compromised".

Some Earlier posts related to the topic:

How to Fix "This Site May be Compromised" Issue

This flag is for websites having pages injected by third party sources. So all we need to do is check the server one by one and remove any suspicious script and pages. There is a chance of hidden pages and links in our server so we should be extremely careful while checking these injected pages. Since our website is already hacked, it is better to change the ftp and hosting manager user name and password to prevent further injection.

How to Calculate CPC of Ads Displayed on Your Blog (Cost Per Click)

CPC is the abbreviation of Cost Per Click and plays an important role in determining the net income from online ads programs like Google Adsense, Infolinks, Adbrite etc. One way to increase the income from PPC programs is to increase the CPC of the ads displaying on your website. So the question is whether we can calculate the Cost Per Click rate of advertisements shown on our blogs ?. If there is only one click, the amount you have received by that click is the Cost Per Click. It is the exact amount you will receive once a reader clicks on the advertisement shown on your webpage. However, it will be difficult to find this value if your AdSense unit received multiple clicks. If there are multiple clicks, you can follow the steps below to calculate average CPC of an ad unit.


Steps to Calculate Average CPC of Ads Shown on Your Blog

To calculate this value, we can use two different methods. Each method is explained below with examples.
  1. Calculate CPC from CPM and CTR:

    The formula to calculate Cost Per Click from CPM (Cost Per 1000 impressions) and CTR (Click Through Rate) is given below.

    CPC = CPM / (1000 × CTR)

    Let us consider an AdSense unit with CPM rate $10 with 2% CTR. According to the above formula, the Cost Per Click will be 10/(1000 * 2%) = 0.5

    If you do not know the terms in the equation provided, you are welcome to read our tutorials explaining those terms. To learn more about CTR, follow the link below.
    Steps to Calculate CTR

  2. Calculate CPC from Total Earning and CTR:

    The average Conversion rate of a click = Total income / Total number of clicks

    To explain it, let us take an example. If your website received 5000 impressions on a day with 40 clicks and the net income is $15. To calculate the average CPC of the day, follow the steps given below.

    Average CPC of the day= Total income / Number of clicks

    = 15/40

    = 0.375

    As it is calculated in dollar we need to put $ in front of the output. Here the Average CPC of the day is $0.375.

How to Increase CPC of Ads Shown on My Blog?

It depends on the bid price set by advertisers as the compensation for a valid click on their advertisement displayed on your website. So it is our duty to maintain the quality of the content on our website for higher rate. We can increase the CPC of Ad units shown on our blogs if we implement the following factors.

  1. Make sure your webpage is optimized with high paying keywords.

  2. Too many Ad units on your webpage reduce the net Cost Per Click

  3. Ads on Top and near content have higher CPC. The following link tells how to do it in a blogger blog.
    How to Insert AdSense Ads between Blog Title and Content

  4. Make sure Ads on your webpage have no visibility issues

  5. Getting more traffic helps to earn more with already defined CPC

If you learned how to Calculate Cost Per Click of ads showing on your blog, I recommend you to follow the link below to learn more practical uses of this term.

We can reduce the size of the less important pages while keeping important tabs big. This feature is supported in major browsers like Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. This tutorial explains how to reduce the size of a specific page by using pin tab feature and reverse the effect once you have fixed the browser real estate problem.
