Lightscribe needs a special disc drive, special media, and a software which allows the same drive to burn the disc as well as label it. It is an optical disc recording technology through which CDs and DVDs are labeled with text and graphics. This, in advancement to the conventional method of either using an adhesive sticker on the disc, or writing on it with a marker. The technology is all laser-driven, and no ink is used, which is why there is never any smudging or peeling of the image and text. Disc labeling was never so easy and presentable. It is the perfect way to create one’s own custom label.

At this moment, there is no technology to replace a Lightscribe label with a new design, though it is possible to add content to an old label that has already been burned. Every Lightscribe disc has a code at the center, so that the drive knows the exact rotational position of the disc. This facilitates in the disc being labeled at a high speed. This also allows multiple burns of the same label to come out darker and perfectly aligned.

Requirements

1. Hardware: An optical disc writer which is Lightscribe enabled.
2. Application: A software that supports Lightscribe.
3. Media: Discs which are Lightscribe-specific and have special coating.

How to Use Lightscribe

Create your custom design or have it ready with you. Save the design as a bitmap, TIFF or JPEG file format. Insert the Lightscribe disc into the drive. All normal data like files, music, videos, images, etc., can be put onto these Lightscribe discs. Burn your data onto it just the same way as the procedure is for normal CD/DVD burning. After the data has been successfully burned, remove the disc from the drive and flip it over so that the non-glossy part faces downwards, actually touching the drive.

Now start the Lightscribe application, select your image or art and write in onto the disc. These discs are coated with a dye. The drive’s special laser chemically changes the dye on the disc which allows it to absorb the infra-red laser light. The whole process gets executed with laser precision. The laser scribes the image onto the spinning disc, which results in a high resolution reproduction of the art or image onto the disc.

Under normal indoor light, the label will show no signs of deterioration or fading for at least 2 years or more. It is recommended to keep the disc in a protective case to keep it free from scratches. If proper care is taken for storage, the label will last time entire lifetime of the disc itself.

Tips

• When updating the Lightscribe software online, make sure your browser pop-up feature has been enabled. Once the update/download is complete, you can disable it again.
• For those labels that include text only, use curved text, preferably the same curve as the disc. This helps in minimizing burn time.
• Always use the preview option in the application before printing the final label.
• Designs with more contrast print better and clearer on the discs.
• If you want to add something to the design later, burn the new design onto the same used disc. It will automatically get laser-aligned without any effort from our side.
• While using images, make sure the image is of the highest resolution possible. This will give a better quality label output.
• Burning it in title mode will be faster than in full mode.

Lightscribe discs need to be kept away from extreme heat, sunlight and humidity. Store them in a cool place, and in polypropylene disc sleeves rather than the PVC sleeves. Also do not handle the discs after applying ointments and lotions onto your hands, as this will accelerate the deterioration of the image quality. These discs also should not be left in the drive for a long period of time. And lastly, they are unsuitable for frequently-used discs such as music CDs played in cars, etc.

Lightscribe has enabled us to burn and digitally label a disc all at the same time and with the same drive. Besides being faster and neater, it allows us to use our own images or custom-made art and transfer it onto the disc after the data has been burned.

Many people wonder about generating traffic to their websites through paid traffic offerings. This topic is highly debated among the industries top SEO managers because some believe in the practice and others do not. Paid traffic services can be useful as part of an overall traffic generation strategy. I have used paid traffic services in the past and believe they do present some value when used in conjunction with Search Engine Marketing, Search Engine Optimization, and Email Marketing.


So What’s the Rub With Paid Traffic?

Have you ever wondered where paid traffic comes from? The services that generate paid traffic do it through a few key methods.

1. Traffic Exchange

Using this method, these sites sell access to their traffic exchange networks where individuals surf for credits. As they earn credits viewing websites like yours, their ads/websites are displayed across the network for others to click on. If this method is being used, you may certainly experience a decrease in performance only because the same individuals are seeing your ad over and over, reducing their likelihood to click.

2. Search Engine Marketing

A great way to generate traffic for others is through search engine marketing like Google, ExactSeek or Yahoo! Traffic generation sites buy keywords in bulk or many long-tail keywords and resell the traffic generated from them. If they can do this at a profit, its a win-win. This is a difficult strategy only because the cost of keywords change frequently based on industry demand.

3. List Marketing

Traffic generation websites also generate traffic through email marketing and house lists. These techniques are usually leveraged through daily, weekly, and monthly electronic newsletters. Driving less traffic than the first two methods, the list marketing option usually rounds out a comprehensive traffic generation strategy.

So to answer the question about paying for traffic, is it worth? My answer is that as part of an overall traffic generation strategy, paying for traffic can be beneficial. It all comes down to how you use paid traffic acquisition as part of your overall marketing strategy, the quality of the traffic generated and the costs associated with the traffic.

The other factor to consider is the quality of the traffic you receive. The purpose of most traffic acquisition strategies is to improve sales, generate leads, and/or conversions. To that end, I would only recommend paying for traffic if you have a way to measure the traffic to your site, the path the traffic takes through your website and whether or not that traffic actually converts. Whether you consider a conversion to be the completion of a web form or the actual purchase of a product, your buying this traffic for one reason and one reason only – conversion. Keep this in mind before you spend any money on traffic.

Although you can find plenty of sites willing to give you traffic in exchange for a fixed fee, I personally prefer to sign up for my own traffic exchange, purchase my own keywords, and manage my newsletters and email lists. By doing so, I have a better handle on where the traffic is coming from and ultimately the value of this traffic. Keep that in mind before you run out and spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on acquiring traffic that may or may not convert for your web site.

Since February, you’ve been able to change the font faces of your ad units. We’re now happy to announce the launch of a related feature you’ve been asking for — the ability to change the font size of the text in your ad units. You can now select from small, medium, and large font sizes for ad units on pages in Latin-character languages. Just like with the current font face options, size options appear in every account but will only be applied to ad units on pages primarily in Latin-based characters for now.

The font size you choose will be applied to the body of the ad, with the title scaled appropriately. In order to fit the ad text correctly, the actual font size will vary for each format size, font face, and user-specific settings such as browsers and operating systems. In addition, some formats sizes currently have very limited room, so the font size application will be most apparent in cases where the number of ads appearing in your ad units varies automatically in order to maximize your performance. Here’s an example of what the three font sizes could look like in a 336×250 large rectangle:

Your ads are currently set at the default size for AdSense, which is the equivalent of ‘small’. You can select a new font size on an account-wide basis in the Ad Display Preference section of your My Account tab, or on an individual ad unit basis for new and existing ad units.

If you’re creating new ad units, you can choose between the AdSense default font size, your new account-wide font size (if you’ve selected one using the instructions above), or a separate size. To update existing ad units you’ve created using the Manage Ads feature, visit the ‘Manage Ads’ page under your AdSense Setup tab. Any font size changes you make on an individual ad unit basis will be maintained even if you change your account-wide default in the future.

Also, a bit of advance notice: soon, we’ll also be changing the default font size across AdSense in ad units from ‘small’ to ‘medium’. We’ve heard from some of you that the current font size can be too small, and our testing also showed that slightly larger font sizes improved performance. Any ad units set to the default font size will automatically be updated to display the larger setting. If you’d prefer to stick with today’s font size, you can set your desired font size as ‘small’ across your account.

We encourage you to combine these new font size options with the other customization options in your account to test the optimal layout for your pages. We’re excited about this launch, and we’ll be sure to follow up with another post to let you know once the default font size has been changed.

Blogging advice tailored for newcomers can be hard to find. With new terms and tools appearing daily, it can be confusing for new bloggers to know where to start. To learn the basics of blogging such as how to set up a blog and make money from it, keep reading; it’s easier than you think.

First, pick which blog platform you would like to use. The top two contenders are blogger.com and wordpress.org. Here’s some simple blogging advice if you’re having trouble deciding. If you’re entirely new to blogging, blogger.com is the way to go. If you’re familiar with the basics of blogging or would just like to have more ”control” over your blog, wordpress might be a better choice. No matter which option you choose, the process is simple. All it takes is filling out your name, email address and naming your blog.

Although each platform comes with its own web hosting, here’s some blogging advice every blogger should take. Purchase your own domain name. Not only will having your own domain be easier for your visitors to remember, it will add another level of professionalism to your blog.

After you’ve picked out which blogger platform to use and have started to set up your blog, the next step is choosing your template. Templates are pre-made designs for your blog. The best blogging advice when it comes to templates is to make sure that your template reflects the topic of your blog. It’s more sensible to use a car template if your blog is about exotic cars, than it is to use a template about food.

You may not realize it, but you’re halfway done. You’ve picked a blog platform, registered your blog name, and picked out your very own template. You may have also decided to register your own domain name. Now its time for some blogging advice that everyone wants to know – how to make money from your blog.

There are 3 main ways to monetize your blog – through traffic, content and ads.

Traffic for your blog can be obtained in many ways. While most people think you have to pay a huge amount of money to achieve traffic results, the following tips are not only free, but also simple.

The easiest way to earn money from your blog is by simply filling it with content. If you can remember this, it will become one of the best blogging advice you’ve ever received. The more relevant content that you add to your blog, the easier it will be for search engines to find it. This means more traffic, which equals more money. When you first begin to blog, try to post several times a week and eventually work up to blogging on a daily basis. Readers like to know that every time they visit your blog, they will read something new.

Don’t worry if you don’t like to write; content comes in different forms. No longer is writing the only way to fill up a blog. Videos, podcasts and even games are now considered content.

Once you’ve filled your blog with content, the next step is to add your blog to social bookmarking sites. Social bookmarking sites are websites that cater to sending readers to blogs based on their personal interests. The top social bookmarking sites include Twitter StumbleUpon, Digg, Technorati, Reddit, Propeller, Fark, and Del.icio.us. However, many such sites prohibit any marketing ploys; so to minimize risk, bookmark 4 to 5 non-self-serving links for every self-serving link you bookmark. Post comments on other people’s bookmarks and be an active participant in the discussions. Only Bookmark sites that other people have bookmarked so you’ll be seen as part of the community.

Another effective way to create income is by signing up for affiliate programs and promoting them on your blog. This is not only great blogging advice, but can be used for other ventures as well such as websites. Every time a visitor purchases an affiliate product from your blog, you get paid a commission for it. The commissions can range any where from a few bucks to hundreds of dollars. The tip to remember when it comes to affiliate marketing is to pick programs and products that are related to your blog. It’s much easier to get your visitors to sign up for a recipe subscription if your blog is about cooking, than it is to get them to sign up for a stock market subscription.

One last tip for creating money for your blog is to place ads. This can be done in various ways. One of the most popular ways is through Google adsense. Each time a visitor clicks on one of the adsense ads, you get paid. It’s also free to sign up for an account. As a bonus, if you signed up under the blogger.com platform, all it takes are a few clicks to get adsense onto your blog. If you chose wordpress, the setup is still easy. You just simply install a plug-in to add Google adsense to your blog.

A lot of people will tell you that this is the blogging advice they wished they would’ve received when they first started to blog. Not only do you now know how to setup a blog, you also learned how to profit from it. Now the only thing you have to do is go create your blog and start earning!
