Facebook LikeBox JQuery Popup with Timer!

We have published so far two versions of Facebook Likebox Jquery popups (Version1 | Version2) and today we are sharing another version with much more control options. This one includes a time counter and instead of likebox it displays a like button that links to your Fan Page and an attractive Image that also links to your fan page letting your visitors to either join your fan page by clicking the like button or by simply visiting your fan page by clicking the image. You can set for how long the widget/plugin must display before disappearing automatically. It also includes a close option. You can also specify whether you want it to show immediately as soon as a visitor enters your site or after a specified time. The JavaScript code for this plugin is created by kakiheboh termed as "LikeBox FB Fanpage Pro"  and we simply modified the code to create four different backgrounds for the likebox.

Mashable Sharing Widget For Blogger - Version2

We previously published the first bloggerized version of Mashable Sharing Plugin for wordpress and it was well received by all of you. At that time Google Plus badges were still under development and were not released and web masters often preferred third party plugins like "Add to Circle". Since now when Google plus is the hot social media networking site growing in numbers and traffic and with extra ordinary added Google Search features, I thought the mashable widget should be upgraded. I simply added a Google+ bade to the sharing widget and replaced the LinkedIn icon with twitter because most of you asked for it. Linkedin is a great place for business professionals to attract targeted clients  but if you have just started blogging and don't have much experience in freelancing then you may avoid it at an early stage. The installation is extremely easy and you simply need to copy and paste the code. That simple!

Its really exciting when you experiment and receive positive results.

I applied every single formula to find a valid answer but succeeded just today with an extremely simple solution to the problem. You can see my Google+ profile picture appearing just fine in search results. Just write blogger tricks in Google and you will see the profile picture appearing to the left of  blog title and description snippet text and my full name appearing just below blog URL. Or you can simply paste any of our blog post link in Google to see the result. This feature is called authorship which is an excellent way of claiming authorship of your content on Google search pages and best way to attract more traffic.

Optimizing Labels, Archives & Comment Links in Blogger (3)

This is the last part of our series on Blogger SEO PACK 2012 series and it will help to remove great misconceptions and wrong seo concepts that are unfortunately spreading like fire everywhere. As Google, Bing and Yahoo continues to make search experience more trustworthy and neat and clean by removing all spammy and non-trusty sites, SEO has become the most famous name for webmasters. Since blogging is mostly about publishing fresh links to these search engines therefore it is important that you must equip your links with proper rel link attributes. Blogger is pretty different when it comes to labels. In wordpress we have categories and then sub categories that are called tags. Tags were introduced in wordpress so that pages could be provided a much deep navigation. However we don't have sub categories in blogger, what we have are called Labels. These labels in SEO terms can be called simply Tags. You attach tags to your posts to categorize posts. Don't confuse your selves with categories, labels and tags, they are all considered the same by search engines and can be described as category links.
