If you haven’t started yet to implement Google’s Rich Snippets into your WordPress blog, then you should do. adding Rich Snippets will allow Google to provide your content in a better way and recommend it to searchers.

I’ve worked recently to implement the reviews snippets into my project FamousBloggers.net because I’ve had such wonderful experience with a few WordPress themes and plugins recently, and I would like to review them the right way on my blog. 

Check my recent reviews:

• Thesis Theme Review.
• TweetAdder Review – Software
• Blog Post Promotion Review – eBook
• CommentLuv Premium review – WordPress plugin
• Revenue Engine Review – Book
• Gravity Forms Review – WordPress plugin
• Thirsty Affiliates Review – WordPress plugin
• Market Samurai review – SEO software
• Niche Profit Classroom Review – Educational guide
• You Don’t Need a Job; You Need Guts – Book
• ToTheGo Review – Search engine
• CurationSoft Review – Content Curation software
• Headway 3.0 Review : The Easiest Way to Customize a WordPress Blog
• Engagement From Scratch review – Book
• PopUp Domination review – WordPress plugin
• MacX DVD Ripper Pro Review

I am really excited to see the stars, and thinking that this could help the grow of the blog and increase search traffic.

Update:

I’ve released the Author hReview plugin which adds Google rich snippets for reviews and ratings to blog posts, it can be downloaded from the WordPress.org plugins directory.

enjoy!

New Thesis Skin has been added to ThesisAwesome.com, I call it the BlogSkin, it’s ideal for internet marketers since I added fully customized Aweber opt-in forms to three different spots on the blog layout, all opt-in forms can be customized easily from the option panel without coding at all.

BlogSkin is the only Thesis Theme Skin ever created for multi-authors blogs, it has all what you need to start a multi-authors blog, there are loads of features that can be managed by only a few clicks and in no time, actually I think it has the best Skin Control Panel for Thesis, all this makes it ideal for supporting bloggers who would like to have guest posts on their blogs.

Check out the Thesis BlogSkin page at ThesisAweseom.com, there is also a demo for the blog skin.

Check out My new Thesis Skins!

Don’t forget to check out my new Thesis Skins at ThesisAwesome.com and the new BlogSkin for Thesis.

Today,I was thinking why I didn’t post since long time back on my personal blog Zebida World blog, maybe because I lost my PR of 3 and I don’t feel good about it, but I say to myself this is not a big deal, I still have PR of 1 this is not the end of the world or Zebida world! So I am going to tell you a very nice story happened between me and my wife when I first told her Famous Bloggers Club idea, and also some personal thoughts. This is going to be a nice post that I would love everyone to participate and take a place in giving opinion and comments.

I was checking the number of interviews that I made since starting New Media Bloggers blog and the Famous Bloggers Club FBC100, and I was really amazed! there 55 interviews with the best bloggers I ever meet in the blogospher sharing their blogging stories, and how they starts to blog and why! and the best part that everybody is needing to know is when you came across how they make money and how they really do it!

It’s really amazing moments that I will never forget in my life. I smiled and remembers when it was just an idea deep inside of my mind, and I was having that discussion with my wife about it as she is my best friend before she became a wife, I usually discuss with her everything I do, she told me it’s going to be a great idea, but latter I knew that deep inside of her mind she was having doubts and she was just telling that by her sweet and kind words, not to make me feel bad about it. after time passed and I get to know all those awesome famous bloggers,  she told me that she didn’t expect the success of this idea at the beginning and she is so surprised of everything in my blogging life. Anyways, I toke it in a good way because at the beginning she didn’t know what exactly in my mind and what I wanted to do with Famous Bloggers Club. but now I think she understand the whole thing!

Famous Blogger

I am happy she understands the soul if Social Networking, and the Power of Blogging, and she believed that I can pay our new house payments from my blogs, which is great you know! because she reduced her complains about me blogging for nothing, and now she knows that when ever I am behind my laptop is because I am earning money, and she is finally proud of my work

I have this strength of spending 20 hours daily working if I have to, working on my projects with non-stop, I am a guy who actually don’t like to sleep, and my blogs are my capitals now as I didn’t find a decent job at the United States yet, it’s kind of nightmare because I have to go through all of this job search again, and I am afraid sometimes to lose my earnings from my blogs -I hope this will never happen to me- and maybe this is why I want to establish some new blogs and shout them out to the internet like Cars and Limos blog that I have created it in 2 days weekend. Maybe all this hard working will bring me a kind of Stable Blogging Income -I hope so- no body knows what is hidden in the future!

Still the amazing thing is that I am learning a lot from Famous Bloggers Club, those great people who are sharing their experience with others, those who dream one day to reach the top of making money online. plz Check their great interviews, because even if you are the expert of experts I am sure you will learn something from them as I believe that no body knows everything.

Finally! and after working for the last two days with out getting enough rest, I was able to develop and shot the new Famous Bloggers blog, FamousBloggers.net, Famous Bloggers is going to be a corporation blog and Social Network for Making Money Online Tips, so, it’s going to be the place to contribute, as I will keep the NewMediaBloggers.com blog for the interviews with the FBC100 members, We are going to be really serious about creating a fun, safe, rewarding, and effective Social Network platform on the new blog for newbies and people who would like to learn how to make money from blogging.

During the last a few days I was checking a few websites that I really like and I follow, and I am dreaming for that day to come true, and we be able to see FamousBloggers.net a really famous blog like those blogs, Mashable.com, WebProNews.com and BloggingTips.com.

But Why we will need another blog?

Actually there will be a big difference between all those blogs that I mentioned and Famousbloggers.net, the main difference is FamousBloggers. net will be covering Making Money Tips and Ideas, and this is the major difference that will keep it unique and one of it’s kind, and also the contributors of FamousBloggers.net are going to concentrate on Making Money online and driving traffic topics and tricks, and they will provide us with some monthly reports about their revenue and how they could pump it and increase by their own experience!

I can say that there is so many ideas to write about them, and they are going to be so useful for all of, of course all this in addition to the personal promotion that everybody will get, and this is one of my main targets from this project.

Famous Bloggers

I have added a few Google AdSense unites to FamousBloggers.net in a try to cover the costs, I am planning to spend all the earnings back to the community in a way or another. So.. I will be developing some good and simple ideas in a try to make everybody happy with that!

Generally speaking, Famous Bloggers Contributors will be asking to Post Once a Month, it must be related to this categories,  SEO, Marketing, Traffic, Design, Affiliate, WordPress, Social Networking and Making Money Online Tips! Plz help us to make it a better place for everyone.

I want to remind you that i need all the help I can get for this project as it will be my main project for the coming days, I still trying to find a good job, but things are not going fast, so I will be busy developing FamousBloggers.net, so show me some promotion!

I was waiting for finishing the main layout of FamousBloggers.net then start call our great contributors to start contributes, I will be creating accounts the new blog, and here is a list of FamousBloggers.net contributors that I am sure all of us are familiar with:

• F. Perez (DiTesco) of iblogzone.com

• Gary Lawood (Lawmacs) of lawmacs.com
• Karthikeyan R. of blogrpro.com

If you are interested to join our great contributors, don’t hesitate to contact me, and so we can start work together!

Yeah, I know.. I didn’t post anything on Zebida.com since 7 days back, this probably a result of the pain I had while trying to get everything back to work in here, Yeah.. I was having a BIG problem with GoDaddy.com hosting service, but thanks to God I didn’t lose all my websites, just a few of them!

Anyways, I will write a post about this latter, but let’s proceed with the great links for this week from my tweets, oh and if you want to get mentioned  on my coming weekly posts just follow me on Twitter @hishaman and start tweeting with me!

Powered by Twitter Tools Just needed some editing work as usual

Yeah! and I am realy tired as the thumb of the post tells. For several times, I was thinking to tell you about me moving to another country at the end of this month, but I was imagining that I can finalize some good work on my projects while staying in Egypt and before I leave, but now it’s the time to say Good Bye my friends, I will have to stop blogging for a few days, or maybe weeks, so here is some things I would like to tell you before I go!

I am getting ready these days to move, I am not going to move to another house or another city, but this time I am moving to another country with my best friend and wife Hayat, so after living together for 3 years in Egypt, we finally decided to move to USA, so.. it’s a big and hard task for me at the mean time and it will may effect my online biz until I knows exactly where I will stay and where I am going to live!

Tons of stuff to do!

So.. I am dividing my mind into two work stations, one work station is here in Egypt where I had to quit my full time job last month and trying to re-arrange my self and close open files, finalizing some unfinished work, and visits to family that I am going to miss them so much, and the other mind work station is for fixing things on USA in order to make this step smoothly as I can!

To all my friends!

I am not going to say any names, because you know who you are, and I don’t want to forget about anyone, I thank you all for the great support!

For the FBC100’s:

I am so proud of you all, if you didn’t get your interview published then now you know why, I will start publishing and developing the club  to continue all what we were doing, and the good news is that we have three contributors now on New Media Bloggers Blog, and I hope to find more contributor requests from the club!

FBC100 contest winners.. I see great results on the votes, I wish you all good luck. You will receive your prizes in October 2009, probably after the 15 of October, I hope I will not be late!

Something I have learned today from the latest post about review Extreme John at Alexa and the nice Alexa tips  it has, I will leave a link for you here so you can review New Media Bloggers at Alexa! So let’s see how many review I it will get!

I know that setting up my self and my life again in another place -in another country- is not going to be easy, but I really hope that everything will work good!

You may get a reply from me if I have a chance!

PLZ, Wish me good luck, and don’t forget about me! Add a comment or email me.. this is the most thing will make me happy when I connect my laptop again, but hey! I want to hear good news about all of you when I come back to our magnificent blogging world

If you’re new to blogging and yet want to start quickly, blogging is also a great way to make money, and besides being a good communication tool, there are several business models you can try for maximum results in a short time. This article discussed the three most popular methods. So.. Let’s talk about these three methods one by one!

The first method:

Is get paid to blog. Using this method, you create your blog and add a few good articles to it. Then you sign-up with paid blogging networks like Pay Per Post or Review Me and see what “opportunities” are available. These networks are filled with advertisers looking for blogger who can help them spread the word, and they are willing to pay. Accept the opportunity, write about it on your blog, and you get paid.

The second method:

Is AdSense WordPress blogs and it requires a little more technical know-how. You need to build a WordPress blog on a specific niche topic, and start writing some good content on it. At the same time, try to get links from other blogs by leaving comment on the blogs or by doing a link exchange with the blogger. The objective is to get more traffic who will click on your AdSense ads and make you money.

The third and most sophisticated method:

Is affiliate marketing with WordPress blogs. Again, you set-up a good WordPress blog but with this model the amount of content you publish is not as important as the “selling quality” of the content. Each post you write must pre-sell the web visitor and convince him to click on your affiliate links. When the visitor makes a purchase online after that, you get credited for the sale and earn commissions.

Ultimately, which model you choose depends on how much time and resources you can dedicate to creating and managing your blogs. Your best bet is to choose a low-investment option at first. When you get the hang of it, you can venture into other blogging models as well.

If you’re serious about making money from your blog, I strongly  recommend that you signup for my video tutorials:

As a member you’ll get tons of step-by-step video tutorials on how to use WordPress, web 2.0  technology, search engine optimization, making money from Google AdSense and affiliate marketing, and so much more.

When I first launched New Media Bloggers I was having more than 100 blog post ideas! I have focused the blog home page to show a social layout, I made a plan to attract readers for long time!

After publishing a few great interviews with FBC100 members I am still thinking about the future of the community and the blog! I am thinking about what is the importance of the club and how it can bring benefits to members. Is it going to be a blog for bloggers interviews? Is it going to organize new contests in the future? What else FBC100 will have for it’s members!

I didn’t think of Famous bloggers Club as just another blog that will contain 100 posts of member’s interviews and that’s it, I don’t want to limit the FBC100 to this, I am thinking lots about the FBC100 future!

If you visit the New Media Bloggers about page you will find the following: “NMBloggers is a Social Network for Making Money Online built on the contributions of its users. We are serious about creating a fun, safe, rewarding, and effective Social Network for Making Money Online, help us to make it a better place for everyone.”!

So.. that was the reason behind establishing this website, the goal is to create a trusted community and this is why it’s limited to 100 bloggers only to make the management of this community more easier and guarantee the full connectivity between it’s members specially most of members knows each other because there is so many familiar faces on the Club, and that means we are not new to each other, but we are getting to know each other more, and this could include all platforms of cooperation between FBC100 members if we can keep it a healthy and successful environment!

My Idea is:

To create a friendly community, all members can get to know each others in easy way, this is why interviews was publish to introduce members to each other and to the world, so.. during to process of completing the 100 membership members, I will be thinking about the way how members should interact and cooperate. We will set rules for it.

As you can see, FBC100 members is from different niches, prospects, and they also have different skills but the only thing they share all together is all members are so active persons which leads to the good part of my idea, I listed here a few points to discuss and looking forward to expand this discussion with you:

1. FBC100 could be a social network for Making Money Online
2. FBC100 could be a nice place for pronouncing your contests and help you getting sponsors.
3. Ask members for uniting and projects cooperation!
4. Another idea is to have a job board on FBC100, so all members can post about their needs of design, developing, and marketing and other related stuff!

Should FBC100 have it’s own social network application? Or it’s better to keep it simple as a blog?

I want to listen to your opinion about what this community can give, I want to know what you want to see on FBC100, I really need your help on that, so plz shout any ideas comes into your mind!

In one of my successful posts I have talked about how to Unzip a Compressed File on PHP Server, and how I did it by a nice script that I found. On this post I am going to tell you about another valuable script that I found, the script simply backup your website and provide you a link to download it to your computer, this could be used for different reason when you develop websites.

You can use this script in two ways, the first on is to Fully Backup your website Code, and the other use will be when you decide to move your website to another hosting and compete Godaddy file manager limited archiving file size.

Over the last few days I’ve been working on some online project, it was a dynamic website, using one of those CMS open source code that I love to work with. I was having a testing hosting server for my client’s website, now it’s ready to go online and to be published on the client’s hosting server account.

Unfortunately I couldn’t backup all files on the server, Godaddy file manager is limited to archive 20 megabits only and the website code exceed this size. It’s more than 30 megabits. Of course I could go for compressing folder by folder, but this will take the whole work day rather than doing mistakes and you start over and over again.

Finally I found the solution for this problem thanks to Web Hosting Hero and it’s Great Hosting Tutorials.

Go a head and Download Godaddy Backup Zip Archive Utility.

Although this script was originally developed to backup my GoDaddy website, it can probably be used with any Linux / Unix web host.

How To Use The Backup Script

1. Extract the PHP file from the Zip Archive Utility to your local drive.
2. Edit sitebackup.php using a non-formatting text editor such as Notepad.
3. Enter the password you wish to use to protect the script and save the file.
4. Upload sitebackup.php to the root of your website through FTP.
5. Open your web browser to http://www.yourwebsite.com/sitebackup.php
6. Enter your password in the text box and hit the Backup button.
7. Do not close your browser window. When the backup has completed you will see a link to download it.
8. Once you’ve downloaded the backup, delete fullsite.tar.gz from your website using your favorite FTP client.

If you work with server a lot, then maybe you would like to check this Tool to Extract ZIP Files on FTP Server using PHP.
