These 5 ways really help you to make money. You cannot earn instantly, you have to promote them or you need to make your blog popular. There are many ways to generate income but the below 5 are guaranteed and most used ways to generate income from blogging.

Selling Services and Products: If your blog is about business, it makes sense to sell your products or services on it. Every sale you make online through your blog will be counted towards your income increasing because of it. Make the blog yet another place where people can buy your products or services without any hassle. By making your products accessible, you’re increasing the chances of people buying it from your blog.

Affiliate Programs: Even the world’s best sales person uses the Affiliate program to extend his business.  Affiliate selling is great way to increase sales and at the same time letting people earn from it. Placing the affiliate products in your sidebar or writing a post about a specific product gains a lot of attention to the product.

Selling Text Link and Sponsor Ads: Another way to earn money from your blog is by renting out ad space and selling text links. These ad spaces are situated at various places throughout the page and usually have a separate rate for each size. If a blog has an ad space in its header, it will be the most expensive.

Ad space in high traffic blogs will cost more than in ones that don’t have as high traffic. You can also earn from your blog by selling text links on your blog. These are usually placed in the sidebar. The advantage of text links is that they’re cheaper than ad spaces, and a link from a high Google page rank site increase contribute towards increasing your authority in search engines and page rank as well.

How to Clean Your iPad

You put your hands and fingers all over your iPad, but that's what it's designed for, right? Removing smudges and grime is a regular part of iPad upkeep. This article will describe the proper and safe way to clean your iPad's touch screen. All you need is a high quality microfiber cleaning cloth or a lens wipe and you'll be good to go. Read on for more instructions.

• Make sure your iPad is completely unplugged and press the "Sleep" button on the top of your iPad or turn your iPad off completely. Remove any additional external cords and/or electronics that may still be connected to the iPad.

• If you have it, remove your iPad Cleaning Cloth from its case. The Cleaning Cloth is the black microfiber cloth that came with the iPad packaging. Briskly shake the cloth in the air to remove any loose particles from the microfiber.

• Check your iPad's screen for any debris or large particles. You don't want to accidentally turn the debris into an abrasive by rubbing it over the screen.

• If necessary, use compressed air to blow off any debris to avoid scratching your iPad's screen.

Note: if your compressed air produces patches of frozen air, be careful to avoid getting any moisture into one of the iPad's openings, in particular, as well as on the screen itself.

• Place your iPad Cleaning Cloth on your iPad's screen. If you don't have the Cleaning Cloth that came with the iPad, you can also use:

1. Any microfiber cloth
2. Any lens cloth you might use on your glasses
3. Any soft, lint-free cloth
4. Do not use: cloths, towels, paper towels, or any similar items on your iPad. These damage the screen of the iPad.

• Gently rub the iPad Cleaning Cloth in a circular motion until the screen is clean.

• Inspect for any remaining patches of oil or grime. You will see that with just a few circular strokes, your iPad will be shining like new!

• Repeat after every use or as needed. This will help to keep your iPad clean and clear of fingerprints and smudges.

Avoid using the following items to clean an iPad. iPads have an oleophobic coating on the screen, which are sensitive and only require a fine cloth to clean. The following[2] items will damage the oleophobic coating if used to clean the iPad:

• Window or household cleaners

• Aerosol sprays

• Solvents

• Alcohol

• Ammonia

• Abrasives

Tips for Keeping Your iPad Clean

• Consider buying an effective case and cover. The market is flooded with iPad cases; they're everywhere you look, making the decision of which one to buy even harder. Here are some general tips you can use when searching for an iPad case:

• Get something form-fitting that doesn't impede use of the device. You want something that will act as a kind of second skin to the iPad, but a skin that doesn't make using the iPad hard or cumbersome.

• Unless the products fit extremely well, stay away from leather cases. Leather cases are pretty and make the iPad something to behold, but they aren't form-fitting, letting loose dust and grit get between the case or cover and the iPad itself.

• Clean your iPad regularly. You don't have to clean your iPad after each and every use, but if you use it frequently, giving it a quick minute of your undivided cleaning attention will ensure that the iPad lasts well into its glory years, smudge- and grime-free.

 

• Never spray any liquids directly onto the iPad. Moisture + iPad opening = disaster. As a general rule, try not to use liquids when you clean the iPad to preserve its oleophobic coating.

• If you feel like you must use a liquid to clean the iPad, go for something like the iKlenz Cleaner Solution.[3] This kind of solution repels dust and kills bacteria as well. If used properly, this cleaning liquid should also give a streak-free shine.

Finished.

Intel demonstrates experimental overclocking of SSDs

IDF 2013

Solid-state drive overclocking. Coming to a drive near you soon. Ish. Maybe.

As promised, Intel demoed solid-state drive (SSD) overclocking on the first day of IDF 2013 in San Francisco, but sadly it's little more than a lab experiment right now.

Using a Clevo W740U laptop, Dan Ragland, Senior System Engineer showed off an unreleased version of the Extreme Tuning Utility (XTU) complete with the experimental SSD overclocking tab.

In that new section is a pair of sliders allowing you to change the frequency of both the memory controller as well as two frequency levels for the NAND chips themselves.

Performance boost

Ragland pushed the Intel SSD's memory controller up from 400MHz to 625MHz and then ran the AS SSD benchmark to demonstrate the performance benefits. For the extra 225MHz overclock, we saw the SSD delivering around a 10% performance boost. That was an overall benchmark score though, not covering the different workloads that SSDs perform.

I asked whether that 10% boost worked across the whole SSD range - whether it increased sequential read/write as well as random 4K speeds - but Ragland was a little cagey in his response.

• Intel intros new Atoms – but can it break into the tablet market?

"I gave you a snapshot of one benchmark, it varies," he said. "There are some areas where you'll see a whole smattering. To be honest, we're just playing with it in the labs, we're still in the experimental stage at the moment."

I followed up with a spokesperson from the NAND Solutions Group (NSG) about whether the performance benefits could be worth the risk to your data. "Any risks you take with your data in overclocking the memory controller has to be monitored," he explained. "But we have those monitors."

Stress levels

There are system monitors embedded in the SSD controller tech that measures error rates across the NAND memory chips. If the undetectable bit error rates (UBER) start rising then you'll be incurring elevated stress levels on the NAND – at that point you're going to want to start winding your overclock back in.

Whether those same system monitors will work when overclocking the NAND chips though is still unclear. But as the representative from NSG explained: "Controller overclocking is what you want – the intelligence is in the firmware and you don't want to stress the NAND so much."

But it's still an intriguing new arena for overclocking. And with newer memory controllers, especially the multi-core variants Intel is working on, we could see some genuinely tangible performance benefits from SSD overclocking.

Well, so long as the risks to your data are pretty much zero anyways...
