Lockerz February redemptions a big time failure



February redemptions of lockerz prooved to be big time failure. The Member Appreciation Redemption in which members paid PTZ in advance to participate in special 3 waves. But due to high PTZ with members almost all members participated in it and it proved like a general redemption in which only few got prizes. Though Lockerz returned users who got no prize a total of 100 PTZ , still users all over the world are not at all happy.

Here is what Lockerz said...
" Last night we had our first test of a Member Appreciation Redemption. Our goal was to give every member who signed up with PTZ an equal opportunity to redeem a prize. While our first two waves went smoothly, with thousands of members redeeming great prizes, our third wave was problematic for some due to site availability. Unfortunately, we battled some heavy cheating bots in Wave 3. Despite our efforts to shut these down, they affected the experience for some members who couldn't log in. We're working hard to ensure this will not happen in the future. Most importantly, we've refunded 100 PTZ to all members who participated in the Member Appreciation Redemption and did not receive a prize. We have already put these PTZ in your account in time to use for today's General Redemption. Thanks for your patience as we work to perfect the redemption process! "

After the general redemtion next day Lockerz has considerably lost fans from all over the internet world.

Increase Adsense earnings with Competitive Ads Filter

Increase earnings with Competitive Ads Filter



What is Competitive Ads Filter?

Competitive Ads Filter is a function in Google Adsense that enables you to lock specific ads, such as competitors’ ads from appearing on your pages. Google allows you to enter up to 200 URLs.


Why Competitive Ads Filter?
Most webmaster and bloggers doesn’t realize that by not setting that, they are actually losing a lot of their earnings to MFA (Make for Adsense) sites and Arbitragers. This means you can actually earn more, but a fat percent of your potential earnings has gone to MFA & Arbitrages.



What exactly are MFA (Make for Adsense) sites and Arbitragers?
These websites basically have no content. Their pages are full with Adsense begging pathetically to be clicked. Their existence is only for one reason to make money from Google Adsense, usually by taking advantage of visitors that click on your website.



How MFA (Make for Adsense) sites and Arbitragers suck my income?
MFA sites bids the minimum amount on a keyword and with the relevant keyword of your content, these MFA ads be will showed in your Adsense text ads.
Your readers clicks on these MFA text ads, you make few cents (probably 1 to 3 cents or so). Your readers are then brought to the MFA sites, filled with real Adsense Text ads. Your readers click and MFA make $1 or more. Not all will click on the ads on MFA, but it’s definitely enough for them to break-even and make 50% to 500% return.
This whole process is called the PPC Arbitrage. PPC Arbitrage not only affects your Adsense income but also the experience of using your site. Readers expect something informative, but their click leads them to more confusing ads.

Now that you’ve totally understand what a MFA sites and Arbitragers are, you will probably be asking? Why hasn’t Google done something about this? Simple. Google make their profits out of it no matter what and it did not violate any terms and condition set by Google Adsense.



How to use Competitive Ads Filter?
To keep these MFA sites away, you need to insert their URL into Google Adsense Competitive Ads Filter. This will then filter their low CPC ads out and Google will then give you higher pay ads on your site.
Log in to your Google Adsense account, click on Adsense Setup and look for Competitive Ad Filter.

Start putting in list of these MFA sites, save them and Google will take about 12 hours to start blocking these ads out of your ads.
To add list to Competitive Ad Filter, you should check out Ads Black List. Ads Black List generate you a list of 50 MFA sites for you to filter. If you are a member of Ads Black List, they will generate you 200, which is also the limit of the Google Competitive Ad Filter.
Since Adsblacklist is accepting no more registrations so here are 2 list that i collected from the internet. You may share your list if you find any updated version.

Check if your PC can run the game or not

I recently got a site which gives solution to all my problems regarding running a game on my system. Before downloading or buying a game i often think " will it run on my pc or not ? " But now this site reduces my work and also let me know the game i am downloading will run or not.



This site provides a One-Click solution that looks at your computer's hardware and system software to determine whether or not your current system can run a product. Each of your computer's components is evaluated to see how well it meets the minimum and recommended requirements for specific products. Recommendations are made on how to update or upgrade each component which does not meet the listed requirements. Sometimes, a simple, free software download is all that is needed. Sometimes you'll find that you need a different video card to fully experience what the game has to offer.


*You need JRE if u're on chrome

*Allow the ActiveX else it won't be able to scan ur pc details

New Release from Ubisoft-> Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands

Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands



  The Forgotten Sands Cover Artwork.jpg
Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands is an upcoming multiplatform videogame developed by Ubisoft due for release on May 18, 2010 in North America and May 20 in Europe. The game is a latest installment in the Prince of Persia series, and will mark a return to the storyline started by Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. The Wii and PSP versions are being developed by Ubisoft Quebec, the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Microsoft Windows are being handled by Ubisoft Montreal with the help of Ubisoft Singapore and the DS version is made at Casablanca. 

Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands will return to the storyline established by the critically acclaimed Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time in 2003 and previously concluded by Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones in 2005. On December 14, 2009, Ubisoft UK released the first details of the story on their official video portal.

Visiting his brother’s kingdom following his adventure in Azad, the Prince finds the royal palace under siege from a mighty army bent on its destruction. When the decision is made to use the ancient power of the Sand in a desperate gamble to save the kingdom from total annihilation, the Prince will embark on an epic adventure in which he will learn to bear the mantle of true leadership, and discover that great power often comes with a great cost.



The game is an interquel, taking place in the seven year gap between The Sands of Time and Warrior Within. The Prince character is supposed to be a cross between the character models in these two games. Once again he will be voiced by Yuri Lowenthal.

According to Nintendo Power, the Wii version's plot will revolve around a female djinn seeking help from the prince to liberate a kingdom enslaved by a mysterious evil.
