Make Money with Downloads +70$/Day

You now this download services that we use every time? Well you can get money from them. How? Let me explain.

Some download networks like Megaupload, Bitroad, Depositfiles, Easyshare give you money when you a upload file and other people download it.

The best i have found was Partner Bitroad.net they have the high payment. 70$ for 1000 downloads, it could variate if your downloads don´t come from US, but the less that they guarantee you are 30$/1000.

If you have a download website you can easy make 70$ per day or even more, and that´s awesome, if you don´t have a website of downloads you can write a e-book or zip some pictures and put into a package in your blog a link to download this files.

Well, in my opinion this is a good way to make some easy money everything you need is a good file to download.

Good luck

Installing lighttpd 1.4.22 as static file server running by proxy with Apache 2.2.3

In this tutorial i will show how i have installed my lighttpd to run side by side with my Apache installation.

First of all let me introduce both, Apache i suppose that everyone nows, its one of the most stable, secure and used web server on the market. Lighttpd is growing, lighttpd is getting famous by the his speed, if look for benchmarks in google you will see that . What a lot of webmasters are doing now is let Apache run the script part, the complicated part, and configuring lighttpd as a static file server, a server for .js, .gif, .jpg, .css this type of files, www.gwebtools.com is running this way the website speed had increased a lot.

I am running on CentOS

Installing and configuring lighttpd

1. wget http://www.lighttpd.net/download/lighttpd-1.4.22.tar.gz
2. gunzip lighttpd-1.4.22.tar.gz
3. tar -xvf lighttpd-1.4.22.tar
4. Inside the lighttpd folder run ./configure maybe you get some dependencies errors so you will need to download it with yum install “dependencie-lib”
5. make all && make install
6. if you get no errors still here, type the command lighttpd and you will get some message like this 2009-03-21 09:33:34: (server.c.552) No configuration available. Try using -f option.
7. Now its time to create your lighttpd.conf file, type mkdir /etc/lighttpd, after that inside your lighttpd folder type cp doc/lighttpd.conf /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf
8. Ok, now you have a default conf file, you just need to change the default port of the lighttpd web server.
9. Set server.port = 81, this is necessary because apache already runs on port 80, see the log path to see if they are right for your *nix distribution
10. Set server.document-root = “Your www folder”, in my case /var/www/vhosts/gwebtools.com/httpdocs
11. Now start the lighttpd server running lighttpd -f /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf

Configuring apache to run on proxy mod

1. Enable mod proxy on httpd.conf,
   LoadModule proxy_module modules/mod_proxy.so
   LoadModule proxy_http_module modules/mod_proxy_http.so
   LoadModule proxy_connect_module modules/mod_proxy_connect.so
2. In your virtual host config you need to edit conforming your needs, for this blog.gwebtools.com that is running with wordpress i do the following
   ProxyRequests Off
   ProxyPreserveHost On
   ProxyPass /wp-content http://0.0.0.0:81/wordpress/wp-content
   ProxyPass /wp-includes http://0.0.0.0:81/wordpress/wp-includes
   ProxyPassReverse / http://0.0.0.0:81/
3. Now every request to static files, js, images from my blog, lighttpd will be the server how will attend to the request.
4. Now everything is running fine and faster.

Understanting robots.txt in 5 minutes

A lot of people have a lot of doubts about the function of the robots.txt file and the right configuration of this file.
I will explain in a few words what the real fuction and how to configure the robots.txt, just the basics.

The robots.txt file always need to be in the root / of the domain, example www.gwebtools.com/robots.txt, its a standard for search engines.

Good search engines like google, yahoo, live, ask and many others will respect the options that you configure in your robots.txt, bad search engines like exploits crawler will not respect.

The robots.txt is a simple text file to help the search engines index only relevant content about your website.

Configuring the robots.txt is very easy, the options are:

User-agent: In this option you can put the crawler name like Googlebot or * for all crawlers, that means the configurations will be applied only to those crawlers.
Disallow: With this option you specify wich folders, pages you don´t want the crawler access and index.
Allow: With this option you specify wich folders, pages the crawler can access and index (by default it index all).
Sitemap: You can specify the url of your sitemap.

–  robots.txt example 01 begin –
User-agent: *
Disallow: /
Allow: /list-of-pages.php
Allow: /contact.php
– end of robots.txt example 01 –

Explanation: In this example the rules apply to all crawlers, and just two pages can be indexed list-of-pages.php and contact.php.

–  robots.txt example 02 begin –
User-agent: Googlebot
Allow: /
Disallow: /downloads
Allow: /downloads/signup.php
– end of robots.txt example 02 –

Explanation: In this example the rules apply just to googlebot all urls can be indexed, except the folder /downloads, but the page /downloads/signup.php can be indexed.

Easy. Doubts send comments.
