How To Verify Your HostGator Account Using Skype?

Hi! Everyone, hope you all are fine.
Today I am going to help you in verifying your HostGator hosting Account. Few days back I have buy a hosting account from HostGator and my account got active instant but after two days when I was trying to login to my HostGator account I couldn’t able to. I was gating an error Login Attempt Failed! So I got worried a lot, I have tried to login at least five times wondering maybe I am typing my password wrong.

But even after that when I couldn’t able to login to my account in my mind many things where coming like did they disable my account? or am I got hacked? and many other such things where coming. Then I remember they also have Live Chat service so I tried to contact with them through there Live Chat service then they told that I have to verify my account and I must have got an e-mail regarding account verification so I instantly opened my e-mail and checked that do I have received any such mail, after when I show that mail then I relaxed for five minutes as because I was worried very much about it then I read that mail that what I have to do to verify my account. Here what they mailed me

Hello,

Thank you for your order with HostGator.com!

In order for us to setup your account, we will need you to call in and verify your billing information.

If you are unable to call us, you can instead respond to this ticket with a scanned copy of a Photo ID such as a passport, or drivers license. In addition to a photo ID, please include a scanned copy of the credit card that was used in your account purchase  (assuming you purchased a hosting account with a credit card). For security purposes you can mask off all the digits of the card number except for the last 4 digits.

Please provide us with the above requested information at your earliest convenience to ensure that your account with HostGator is setup as soon as possible.

Toll-free: 1-866-96-GATOR, extension 1010
International: 001-713-574-5287

We are available 24/7, so please feel free to call us at your convenience. We apologize for any inconveniences that may result from this process.

Now I was wondering that if I called them it will going to cost me Rs.9/min (approx) and don’t know how much time will they take to verify. So I show what the other option I have to verify. Other option was to give the scan copy of my ID proof (issued by Govt.) and Credit card. And I don’t have my Credit Card I have used someone else card but due to some personal reason even I couldn’t able to send the scan copy of Credit card. Next day in my mind came I can try using Skype as they have option to call all over the world might I can try there Toll-free and if it worked it wont cost me anything.

As it came in my mind instantly
1.       I opened my Skype application
2.       Logged into my account
3.       Gone to call option (where I can dial the number)
4.       I selected US as country code
5.       Dialed there number

As it started ringing I got so happy as because I saved my money in making an international call. And when they verify it took 5 to 6 minutes to verify that mean I saved near about Rs.45  😀

Hope now you got how you can also save your money in verifying your HostGator account.

Should You Turn On Google AdSense Allowed Sites Option?

Hi! Everyone, hope you all are fine.
Today in this post I will tell you about Google AdSense Allowed Sites option. I was thinking about AdSense Allowed Sites option from many days, will it help me in my AdSense earning or not, and if it will help, then how? So I got some points on how it will help and how it will not.

How it will help if you are using this feature, these things can happen with anyone,
v  When someone copy your AdSense ads code (copying anyone’s AdSense ads code is very easy) and paste in on their site, sites which can violations AdSense policies which can bring your AdSense account in danger and also your account can get block forever.
v  If you have a competitor or enemy who wants that you to use AdSense they can massively click on your AdSense ads and get your account banned.
v  There are some crazy persons also who click on ads just for fun. (I have a friend like that, I restricted him not to go on my any of my blog… :P)
v  Like if you are a developer and you are creating a WordPress theme, for testing purpose you have placed your AdSense ads code on that theme and later on you have forgotten to remove your AdSense ads code and you have uploaded it and made that theme available to for public use. Now people who will download your theme will use it on their localhost or online with your AdSense ads code. And if that person is doing modification in that and your ads are keeping getting refresh again and again.

How it can decrease your AdSense earning, As if you turn it on defiantly you will see there will be a down fall in your monthly earning as because
v  When your site goes down visitors use cache from Google/Yahoo/Bing and other search engines
v  The people who want to see your site in different language then it is they use online translate services
v  If your site is block in some countries then they use proxy servers
v  Some social sites use iframe to display external sites and links

As in this how you will lose is when you will add your sites in Allowed Sites option and when visitors will visit your site using in the given above way Google will display ads but any earnings will not be shared with you.

Now if you want to turn on the Allowed Sites option here are steps
Using AdSense old interface
1.       Go to AdSense.com
2.       Login to you account
3.       Go to AdSense Setup –> Allowed Sites
4.       Now select Only allow certain sites to show ads for my account
5.       Now list all the site/blog you have
6.       Then click on Save Changes

Using AdSense new interface
1.       Go to AdSense.com
2.       Login to you account
3.       Go to Home –> Account settings –> Access and authorization (at the bottom of the page)
4.       Now tick Only allow certain sites to show ads for my account box
5.       Now list all the site/blog you have
6.       Then click on Save

Note: while listing your blog or site name do not add WWW in your domain name
Will you turn it on? As personally I am not using it.
