Dont ever get banned from adsense if you have clicked your ads,by mistake…Jus follow this technique ..
The way to keep this from happening is to temporarily block the domain name Google’s ads are served from. First, find your HOSTS file which depends on which OS you are using.
Open Notepad or any text editor. Go to File, and Choose Open.
If you have Windows 95, 98, or ME browse to the folder “C:\windows”
If you have Windows XP Home browse to the folder “C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc”
If you have anything else (Windows XP Pro, Windows 2000, NT,2003, etc.) browse to the folder: “C:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc”
Once you’re there, open the file called “hosts”. If you don’t see anything listed just type the word hosts and the file should open up. Just the word “hosts”, no extension oranything after that. It’s probably blank but it might notbe.
Add this line: 127.0.0.1 pagead2.googlesyndication.com
And save. You’re done.
Now go back to a site that you know has some Google Ads.There should be an empty space where the ads appeared.
Want to turn it off? Don’t just delete it, put a “#” sign infront of that line, like this which is equivalent to commenting the statement:
# 127.0.0.1 pagead2.googlesyndication.com
What’s that do? It basically says “ignore this line.” I like to leave it like that so when I want to hide Google Ads again, all I have to do is remove the “#” sign and save –then put the “#” back in when I’m ready to go back to normal.
A quick change in your HOSTS file to turn AdSense on and off is easier than fiddling around with a firewall program.
Access Gmail account when its goes down
0 comments Posted by DILLU... at Wednesday, October 29, 2008
These are the gmail modes which worth a lot when you have trouble in accessing Gmail.
Safe mode - http://mail.google.com/mail/?labs=0.
It disables the experimental features from Gmail Labs, just in case some of them are buggy. You can remove some of the features from Gmail's settings page.
Secure mode - https://mail.google.com/.
It encrypts the traffic between your computer and Gmail's servers. Use it from public computers, Wi-Fi networks or to bypass some proxies and web accelerators. There's a Gmail setting that redirects the standard version to the secure mode ("Always use https").
Older version - http://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=1.
This version has been replaced in October 2007 by a rearchitectured Gmail, but the old version is a little bit faster.
Basic mode - http://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=html.
It's the version that doesn't use JavaScript, so it loads faster and it works well with older browsers. Unfortunately, many Gmail features are missing (contacts autocomplete, chat, spell checker, rich formatting) and each click loads a new page. If you like this version, click on "Set basic HTML as default view" at the top of the page.
Mobile mode - http://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=mobile or http://m.gmail.com.
This is a simplified Gmail interface for mobile phones that has even less feature than the basic mode. Use it if no other Gmail mode works for you.
iPhone mode - http://mail.google.com/mail/x/gdlakb-/gp/.
A more user-friendly mobile version for iPhone and other mobile phones that use WebKit-based browsers.
iGoogle gadget - http://www.google.com/ig/gmailmax.
This is the canvas view for the updated Gmail gadget which can be found in the new iGoogle. Some people found that this interface bypasses most corporate filters that prevent them from accessing Gmail at work.
"No browser checking" mode - http://mail.google.com/mail?nocheckbrowser.
If you use a cutting-edge new browser and Gmail serves you the basic HTML mode, try this URL to bypass browser detection.
