I searched a lot of websites for Good free domain names but couldn’t find any. The available ones where the those with unusual extensions like .co.cc or .co.nr , etc. Finally after getting frustrated, when I was just about to give up my search, I came across a website which gives [dot] COM i.e- .COM domain names for Free. There is not a single penny charged when registering or extending the validity of the Domain name.

I spent enough time browsing through HyperWebEnable and reading its Privacy policy and Terms and Conditions properly. I also read some of the reviews of this site on other Blogs like TechPavan. Even though TechPavan only shows the Brighter side of this site [because it is using its service], I will show you both sides of it.

The Things which I found Good:
1. Free .COM of your choice (yoursitename.com).
2. 1GB of webspace to host your website.
3. Unlimited bandwidth.
4. Unlimited emails (info@yoursitename.com, contact@yoursitename.com, etc).
5. Scripts of your choice(Blog,CMS,Forum, etc).
6. Technical support by email for your website.
7. Tips & tricks to improve your page rank and traffic.
8. Free renewal of your domain.
9. No hidden fee or payments [everything is totally free]
10. You can put Ads on your Blog [but in limited amount because HyperWebEnable puts there own too]
11. Full control of your blog and customization as per your needs.
12. Affiliate facility [Refer users to this service and Earn money]

Things that I found tricky and those I didn’t like:
1. They put 2 or 4 Ads on your website depending on your traffic. If you have more than 100 pageviews then they put 2 Ad banners, if lesser PageViews then 4 Ad units.
2. They .COM domain which they give you for use is registered in their name i.e. hyperwebenable.com and not in your name. So you don’t own it [You can just use it].
3. The forth point of the Privacy policy states: User liability – you are liable for all content on your site, including the legality and preservation (i.e. making back-ups) of same. This means there Servers might not be in good condition or they are not trustworthy.
4. The third point of Privacy Policy states: Limitations : Any content on your Web site that is prohibited by the laws of any sovereign state, obscene under the laws of any sovereign state, or otherwise considered by hyperwebenable.com, in its sole discretion, to be offensive, disruptive, obscene, inappropriate or otherwise an administrative burden, may be removed or deleted without any compensation to you. This means that they hold the right to deleting your account if you tend to do anything illegal. It might also be the case that your account is terminated without any strong reason under this condition.
5. It might happen that when your website is flourishing, HyperWebEnable will sell off your domain name for a very high price, Earning a lot of profit for itself. [Remember you don't own the Domain name so you cannot do anything]
6. You cannot upgrade your platform. Example: If you wish to move to any other platform like WordPress or Movable-Type in near future, then you wont be allowed to do so. You cannot carry the domain name and traffic to your new location.

I know that even though the title of this article suggests about “Free .com domain names”, it could have more precisely been “Review of HyperWebEnable”. Anyways, I hope you guys understand the logic behind such Catchy Article-titles!

Some Bloggers don’t give proper credits to the Theme creator and remove their names from the Footer Credits. This has caused a lot of Theme designers to take this unusual step!

For keeping somethings in the Theme as unknown to the Theme user, the designers tend to encrypt it and embed it into the theme. They attach encrypted codes into a separate PHP file in the theme or into some important file in the existing theme. This encrypted code is not understandable to normal users.

What does this Encrypted code do?

This Encrypted code can do many things!

1. It may cause your theme to work in a weird way.
2. It may corrupt your database.
3. It may cause Hacking of Internet accounts of your Blog visitors by your Theme Developer.
4. It will show Footer Credits of the Theme designer.
5. It won’t show any observable results.

Removing this Encrypted code may cause your theme to show some annoying behavior. It may cause harm or Destroy your Database. It is also possible that this encrypted code is completely redundant and removing it won’t affect your theme in any way.

Isn’t it shocking? Of course, it is!

I have experienced this before in one of the themes I was testing for this Blog! Let me share my experience with you.

I won’t disclose the name of the Theme, but it was a Freely available theme. It contained a file named RELAY.PHP. I was not able to understand anything from this file, So I consulted a good friend of mine named Shashank, who is a WordPress genius.

He observed the file and told me that the encrypted code in the theme is sending unusual information about my Blog visitors to the Theme developers. It was sending the following information about my Blog visitors to the Theme designer:

• Server Address
• Server Software
• HTTP user agent
• Server Signature
• HTTP Referrer
• Required URL

I was quite irritated upon hearing this and I interrogated more about this topic. Shashank also told me that because of these requests by the encrypted code, I was unnecessary wasting bandwidth. He also told me that removing this file from my theme won’t affect the theme in any way because it did not contain any WordPress functions that my theme depended upon. So, I removed this Relay.php file from my theme and the Theme worked fine even without it.

I faced such encrypted code yet again in one more Theme! It was placed in the Header.php file, but to my surprise, it was affecting the Footer of the Theme. It contained the copyright information about the Theme designer. Deleting the code caused my Database to be deleted and I was left totally irritated. Thankfully, I was not testing it on this running blog.

How to find this encrypted code in WordPress themes?

There is a WordPress Plugin named Theme Authenticity Checker[TAC], which checks all your Uploaded themes for any possible malicious Encrypted codes. Using this plugin is highly recommended!

How to check, What does this Encrypted codes do?

I am specifying two online Decoders or Decryptors whatever you call them! Taree Internet Online Decode Tool and Raxor GzInflate Decryptor. For your general information, remember that these codes generally start with “eval(gzinflate(base64_decode(…“  or  “eval(gzinflate(str_rot13(base64_decode(…”

I think now I have given you enough information about these malicious codes in WordPress themes. If you need some more, you can always ask in comments!!

Cheers and happy blogging!

There are some bloggers who are blogging on WordPress, but  they don’t even know what is SEO. So today I decided to write an article on SEO and WordPress optimization for better SEO. Before writing any tip, let me explain you first what is it.

Search engine optimization is the process of improving the volume or quality of traffic to a web site from search engines via natural search results. Typically, the earlier  a site appears in the search results list, the more visitors it will receive from the search engine. SEO may target different kinds of search, including image search, local search, and industry-specific vertical search engines. This gives a web site web presence.

How can we optimize our WordPress for it?

WordPress software is said to be optimized for SEO by default, but though there are some better optimizations which can be use to boost search engine results, in this article I am going to explain you all common SEO optimization tips.

• Title of post – The post title of your article should be always user- friendly and catchy so that who so ever reads the title get attracted towards it.
• Meta Title – There is a little difference between the title and the meta title. Title is the heading of your article or post while meta title is the title you want search engine to show in search results.
• Description – Your post/article summary or discription should be catchy because most of readers first read the summary or description of the article, then if they find the summary interesting, then only they read full article.
• Keywords – Keywords should be properly used depending upon your article’s summary as they will be targeting the search results.
• Content – Some newbies thing that posting often will them to increase their site traffic, they are wrong!. There is no use of writing spam or review posts as no one will like to read your post, but if your content is nice or interesting, then everyone will like to read it which will help you increase your traffic so always try to write interesting articles.

Plug-ins for SEO Optimization

Hope till now you guys may be familiar with WordPress plug-ins as I told you about them in  “How to install WordPress plug-ins” post of “Learn WordPress in three days” series, don’t worry if you are yet not familiar with it, I am again going to explain you.

Plugins are PHP based  tools which extend and expand the functionality of WordPress. You can add plugins by just uploading it to your wp-content > plugins folder that is in your WordPress directory.

• All in one SEO pack - Its a nice plug-in with inbuilt option for entire required field for SEO optimization of any post or page.
• Socialize – The plugin was designed to make it very easy to manage. Instead of adding new meta keys, like other plugins require, there is an additional panel in your posts admin page that allows you to select which bookmarks you want to display. This is to encourage people to choose more relevant bookmarks for their posts.

Login to your blogspot account, under settings>publishing, select “Switch to custom domain”

Now enter your Custom domain name in the field and click on save.

It will take one to two days to take settings in effect.
