With the release of Windows 7, Microsoft may just have introduced the fastest operating system in the world. For those speed junkies who are never satisfied, we have provided a few tips that will help you make your PC even faster.
- Disable Automatic Disk Defragmentation
The Automatic Disk Defragmentation feature in Windows is designed to maintain the health of the operating system. However, it also makes Windows run a little slower. You can put an end to this by disabling the feature and manually running at your leisure. To do so, click “Start” and select “Computer.” Next, right click on your primary hard drive and select “Properties.” Lastly, select the “Tools” tab, click “Defragment Now” and uncheck the “Run on a schedule” option. - Utilize ReadyBoost
ReadyBoost is a built-in Windows 7 feature that allows you to use a USB flash drive to enhance system performance.
How is this possible? The drive itself acts as additional computer memory!
In order to make use of this feature, you will need a USB drive with at least 2 GB of space. From there, you simply connect the drive to your computer, click “Start” and select “Computer.” Next, click on the USB drive and select “ReadyBoost.” Lastly, select “Use this device” and choose as much capacity as possible below on the “Space to reserve for system speed” slide. - Disable Windows Transparency
The transparency of windows is a great perk from a presentation aspect, but this may not be the case for those with older hardware as it can drastically impact performance. The good thing is that transparency can be disabled with ease. Simply right-click on your desktop, select “Personalize,” choose the active theme and then navigate to “Windows Color.” Finally, uncheck the “Enable Transparency” option. - Disable Unwanted Features
There may be numerous Windows 7 features that you really don’t need. These same features could also slow down your computer. To disable them, click on “Start,” choose “Control Panel” and then select “Programs and features.” Next, select the “Turn Windows features on or off” option, navigate through the list and uncheck all the features you want to disable. Once you are done, simply click “OK” to remove those features. - Disable Startup Services
Startup services are notorious for slowing down performance in XP and Vista. The same holds true for Windows 7. You can disable unwanted services by hitting “Start,” typing “msconfig” in the search bar and clicking “Enter.” Click the “Services Tab” on the next window and deselect the services you do not want to automatically run at startup. While this all depends on preference, services that impact performance the most include “Offline Files,” “Tablet PC Input Services,” Terminal Services,” “Fax” and “Windows Search.” - Disable Minimizing/Maximizing Animations
Many users have already fallen in love with the minimizing and maximizing animation effects of windows. However, some may find it irritating after a while as it can eventually lead to slowdowns. If you want to disable this function, hit “Start,” enter “System Properties Performance” in the search bar and click “OK.” On the next screen, deselect the “Animate window when minimizing and maximizing” option and click “OK.” - Update Your Windows 7 Drivers Lastly, ensure that you have the latest device drivers made specifically for Windows 7. Since your PC can have hundreds of drivers installed in it at any given time, this task can be tedious. Luckily there are 3rd party utilities out thee such as DriverFinder™, which can greatly speed up this process.

Blogger’s Default Commenting System, Looks like out-dated, very classic and is not at all attractive.
Commenting is one of the most integral parts of blogging: it’s what makes blogging a conversation, not a monologue. Many readers hesitate or don’t like to leave their comments if it looks like shit!
Commenting is one of the most integral parts of blogging: it’s what makes blogging a conversation, not a monologue. Many readers hesitate or don’t like to leave their comments if it looks like shit!
That’s why a good attractive commenting system will increase the amount of comments on your blog.
In this article I’ll be teaching you how to decorate your default commenting form like WordPress comments. Note: This is not a specific guide, because each template has a different design and style.
Please Backup your template before proceeding.
First-of-all, remove all the CSS framework of the old commenting system in the template.
They are usually of the form:
They are usually of the form:
#comments-block {...}
.comment-body {...}
.comment-footer {...}
......
.comment-body {...}
.comment-footer {...}
......
Now Search for </ b: skin> and insert the below CSS above it.
.comments-block a,.comments-block p,.comments-block a img{margin:0;padding:0;outline:none;border:none}
.comments-block{width:600px;background:#fff;padding:10px;font-family:Arial;line-height:18px}

BuySellAds is a popular direct advertising method which makes us easy to get Advertisers & Publishers as well.

Even though it’s pretty difficult to get our site approved for BuySellAds (BSA), I got it approved after trying a hell lot of times! Say for about 8-10 times.
There are some minimum requirements on the basis of which they approve the publishers.
Let's have a look at their minimum requirements:
- Your website should have at least 50,000 page impressions per month.
- Your website must be live, finished, and have fresh content.
- No porn, anything illegal, or even remotely "questionable" content.
- Non-english sites will not be accepted, but they will be accepted if they have high traffic.
- If you have a lot of untargeted ads on your site already, then they're not going to approve you.
- If you do not have your own standard domain like, .com, .net, .in etc. you’ll be rejected.
Although these are mentioned in their official site, I personally believe that all these are not followed.
I think it’s enough if you have 10,000 impressions per month along with some good content and a good blog design.

As said earlier, I wasn’t approved for the first time, my site was rejected for 8-10 times.
I was finally approved after bringing quite a lot of changes to my blog.
I was finally approved after bringing quite a lot of changes to my blog.
Now I’m going to share some tips for getting approved from BuySellAds.
Here are 5 tips that needs to be followed in order to get approved for BSA:
1. Standard Domain
It’s better you have a standard domain like .com, .net, .in etc. before applying for BSA.
Try to get your own standard domain instead of free subdomains like .blogspot.com or .wordpress.com.
You can also use some standard and free domain like .TK, .CU, .CC etc. if you’re not able to spend for it.

2. Quality Content
This is the most important thing everyone should follow, whether you want a BSA account or not.
The very next thing which BSA looks after Standard Domain is ‘content’ and if you won’t be able to put up a good impression with your content on them then you will never get a BSA account approved. Quality content thus matters a lot and believe me this tip will help you a lot to get your BSA account approved – easily and quickly too.

3. Clean Blog Design
Maintain a simple, clean and well designed template and arrange your widgets properly.
Don't put too many untargeted ads nor mess-up your blog with too many links, pictures and stuff.

The Top-Right Sidebar should be Ads-free.
It is the most appropriate place of selling ads!

4. Good Alexa Ranking
According to BSA terms, you can submit your website / blog only if your Alexa rank is less than 100K.
But, you can get approved even if it’s more than 100K. So, you don’t really have to work hard on it.

But, Try Getting More Traffic (which will automatically increase your rankings).
Try to grab at least 5,000 impressions per month so that your website can be determined as a good one.

Try to obtain a good amount of Facebook Fans, Twitter followers, and RSS subscribers so as to get approved easily.
5. Keep On Trying ***
Last but not the least; this is the very important thing that you should do.
If your blog is declined, It doesn’t mean that BSA will not approve your blog in future.
There are still chances that you will start irritating them and eventually they approve your account (Practically that’s not going to happen!).
As you know, I kept submitting my site for approval for more than 10 times and in the 10thattempt I got it.

It is a proven fact that if you will work hard, you will get desired results and same is with BSA too. If you will work hard and keep submitting your site, one day you’ll get it for sure.
After getting BSA account approved there are many more things to do which I will be telling someday later.
I think that these tips will surely help you bloggers out there to get approved from BuySellAds.
