I know lot of bloggers like me and website owners are concerned about one thing that is…

Is the website compatible on different browsers?

Whenever a webmaster changes the website design or theme or tinker with CSS code. The only question that comes to the mind is the above question.

There are lot of browsers and every one uses the browser they like. As a webmaster, you don’t want the visitor to see a crappy web design. You want to make sure that your website or blog layout is consistent on all browsers.

I found one website BrowserShots.

Using this website you can type in your website url and select any browser of your choice to check how your website design looks.

It is a very useful tool to check and make sure that your website is consistent in most of the popular browsers.

How it works?

July 2008 Statistics

This is my first post ever showing statistics. I have never done this before.

Following is July 2008 Statistics: 49,665 Visits, 117,048 Pageviews

• Search Engines - 37,680 (75.87%) visits
• Direct Traffic - 8,336 (16.78%) visits
• Referring Sites - 3,649 (7.35%) visits

I have never looked at Google analytics stats seriously. I am really surprised to see that my Referring Sites traffic is really low. If anybody knows how to increase Referral traffic, do let me know by leaving a comment.

I have also seen lot of blog readers have good stumbleupon, digg traffic. Guys how do i increase on that front? Let me know.

I am a regular visitor of Problogger and I found out a new Advertising Network called Performancing Ads. Many bloggers have started enrolling in that network. I also joined there. You know what! I got two 125X125 ad spots booked and are right now served on the right sidebar :). The third spot is waiting to be booked!!!. It took just 1 or 2 days to get an advertiser using this network.

Something about Performancing Ads. It is ad marketplace. You can join as a publisher or advertiser based on your need. I joined as a publisher. For publishers, you create a region and put the ad slots on your blog and and advertisers go through the marketplace and purchase those spots. The price ads should be setup by you. The price you set is for per week (for ex: I have setup 8$/week). You earn 60% of the price and 40% goes to PerformanceAds. If you’re a “good publisher” by their metrics, then you can claim as high as 90% of the ad price. Ads are booked by the week and payments are transferred through PayPal.
