I have been searching for the perfect adsense plugin from the day 1, i made this blog. But none of them made me happy. every one of them were having some kind of issues at some point. Some of them showed different colors. Some of them showed up with no proper alignment, etc etc. I found the Plugin Easy Adsense a good one. But nowadays it having/showing some kind of problem while activating. But still I never liked it as a whole. It had lots of limitations and was kinda confusing. Then I started searching for this perfect plugin again.

At last I found one. The perfect one for my needs. The WhyDoWork.com AdSense Plugin for WordPress.

WhyDoWork.com Adsense is a WordPress plugin that allows you to insert Adsense ads on your blog without modifying the template. More then that, you can set it up to show different Adsense ads for articles older then X days (x is the number of days you decide).

For example, you can insert a 468×60 ad at the bottom of a new article, and once that article turns 7 days old it will have a more aggressive 336×280 ad blended with the text from the beginning of that article.

This way your regular readers will not be bothered by your ads, while visitors coming to older posts from search engines or other sources, will see a version that is monetized better.

Another feature is the ability to exclude ads wherever you like based on post id, or by using our no-adsense tag.

Download and Install V1.2:

As far as I know, the plugin didn’t have any updates. the last updated version is V1.2 and the updation was on October 14th 2007. But still old doesnot make it a imperfect one. I loved it. I think you will also. So why don’t you give it a try.

Now that google’s Buzz is really making a Buzz in the internet world, everyone with a blog or website might be trying to figure out how to integrate it with their website. Now here I am going to explain how to integrate it to your wordpress blog.

The easiest way for doing it is Use Plugins. I will list a few plugin which will do the integration for you.

Google Buzz Button

This Google Buzz Button plugin that allows you to add a “Buzz This” button to each of your WordPress posts. this may also look familiar because lots of famous techie websites use this.

How to:

1. Download Google Buzz Button WordPress Plugin
2. Upload in wp-content/plugins folder on your server
3. Activate the plugin from Plugin Dashboard
4. Done! A new Google Buzz Button will start appearing after the post content on each single page. You can customize the location of Buzz Button.

WP Google-buzz

Another button plugin option is WP Google-buzz. This plugin has some more options compared to the previous one.

Features:

1. Show Google-buzz button before/after post content.
2. Manual insertion of code: Use this: <?php if(function_exists(‘add_wp_google_buzz’)) { add_wp_google_buzz(); } ?>
3. 10 different beautiful image options

WPBuzzer

This plugin also has got lots of options by which we can customize the look and feel.  Download WPBuzzer v0.5 from here.

Light Social

The Light Social plugin takes a slightly different approach to the Google Buzz button. Light Social is a plugin that inserts a set of social share links at the bottom of each of your WordPress posts.

Buzz In Your Sidebar

Google Buzz ER Plugin allows you to use the google Buzz features to display your public Buzz content. Just enter in your username and define how many Buzz entries you want to display and drag the widget to your designated choice in your blog.

Here I am going to explain how I did it. I think it will be useful to you .

First Goto you current host and take a SQL Back up and download it to your computer from the option which is given on the Admin page of your WordPress blog. Now you have to backup your entire blog directory. For this just archive it using TAR. For moving it to your new host you may use SSH. ( will talk about it later). As of now just download the archived TAR file to your computer.

Now goto your new host. Goto PHPMyAdmin or any equivalent applications. We just have to import the database which we backed up from the old wordpress blog. In PHPMyAdmin goto import and upload the database you have. Now after the upload completes just goto your database manager and create a user and password for that user. Now add it to the newly added database( this is the database you have just finished importing using PHPMyAdmin).

PS: Take a note of the Username password and the name of the database We will be needing it.

Now You have to copy all the files from the old blog directory to your new host.For this upload the downloded TAR file from the old blog which have the entire blog directory, Now upload it to the new host. Extract it to the current directory.

If you have SSH in your new host, login to the SSH using any SSh Client and traverse to the public_html directory. Then using ftp get the TAR file from the old blog.

For getting this TAR file type

ftp <oldBlogAddress>

then type the username and the password.

After that type in mget <filename.tar> now the wait as the file is being downloaded to the new host from the old host. Then type

tar -xvvf <filename.tar> for uncompressing the tar file. Now the blog directory structure is recreated Now you can log out from the SSH.

Now edit the wp-config.php file in the root directory of your blog. in the username field type in the username you created for the database, which you might have noted if you are following my steps exactly as I said. Like this type in the new password and database by replacing the old ones.

Now your Blog in your new Host should work fine.

PS: If your web blog address is also changed(Like Domain Name Change) try changing “siteurl” and “home” accordingly in the database table “wp_options” (through phpMyAdmin or similar).

PS: Even if you have done everything as I said, you may still encounter problems. So as a Last resort try copying the .htaccess from the root of the old host to the root of the new host.
