Is Google adding "Next/Previous" Text To Your Page Titles?

Image
If Google is rewriting your titles in search results by adding " Next " , " Prev " or " Previous " text before your webpage titles then know that you have mistakenly added rel="Next" , rel="Prev" or rel="Previous" attributes to links in an un-paginated page on your blog or website.

Peanut Butter + Jelly Protein Smoothie Recipe

Image
Love a good smoothie? This Peanut Butter + Jelly recipe has been my go-to on busy mornings and there’s minimal clean-up. I use the single serving size on this Ninja Blender , pop the to-go cap on it and away we go. This recipe makes one serving, but you could double it easy and make more. What I love about this recipe is that the ‘jelly’ comes from whole, natural and organic mixed berries. It’s perfect when paired up with the saltiness of the peanut butter. The rolled oats gives the whole thing a bit of texture too. Follow the jump for the recipe! Peanut Butter + Jelly Protein Smoothie Makes 1 serving   INGREDIENTS 1 cup frozen mixed berries, organic if possible 1 cup almond milk 1 scoop vanilla Vega protein powder , or one of your choice 1 tablespoons of rolled oats 1/4 cup water 1 tablespoon peanut butter, smooth   PREPARATION Place the berries and almond milk into your blender first and blend down first Add protein powder, peanut butter, rolled...

A nap bloggere voltam! - Q&A

Image
Sziasztok kedveskéim! Nemrég a Magyar bloggerek csoportban én voltam a nap bloggere, és kaptam tőletek pár kérdést, amire most hoztam is a válaszokat. :) Jó olvasgatást! Honnan jött a Japán-mánia ? Konkrétan nem emlékszem, hogy hogyan indult az egész, de talán az óvodás emlékeim is kissé közrejátszottak abban, hogy én tízen éves koromra anime/Japán fan legyek, ugyanis az én ovis koromban tombolt a legnagyobb Sailor Moon és Dragon Ball mánia. Később alsós koromban pedig a Pokemon. Még lehetett kapni animés cuccokat is Magyarországon, teljesen átlagos boltokban is, mint pl. rágó, plüssök, figurák, tolltartók, füzetek, ja és még Sailor Moon-os képregény is volt magyarul, amit természetesen vásároltam is, de aztán sajnos elajándékoztam őket. :D (* én hülye ) Egyik óvodás farsangon is Sailor Moon-os jelmezbe bújtam, szerintem ez már elég is volt ahhoz, hogy valamit elültessen az én kis fejecskémben, ugyanis, amikor már általános iskolás lettem, és megjelent 10-12 éves koromban a s...

The Story of How We Met + My Best Relationship Advice

Image
Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and I thought I would share the story of how I met my husband Paul. So first off, I am going to severely date myself by lettting you know that dial-up internet was what brought us together. Let me start at the beginning. Paul and I went to high school together and have known each other since grade 9. We both majored in theatre and had a few classes together. I totally had a crush on this tall and athletic being, but nothing truly materialized into a relationship until our senior year – grade 13. Yes! We had grade 13 in Ontario, Canada back when I went to high school and to be honest with you, it was a bit of waste. I was ready to graduate by grade 12. Anyways, back to the story… So back in grade 13, I was trying to buy tickets to see my favourite Canadian band – SLOAN . I had sought out Paul because I had heard that he had this fancy new technology called ‘high-speed internet’ and since I was slumming it with 28.8 kbps...

AdSense: Difference Between Page RPM and Impression RPM

Image
If you have spent any amount of time working with advertisements - especially Google AdSense - you will be familiar with the two terms: Page RPM and Impression RPM. Google AdSense is a very popular advertisement program that works on either a per-click or per-impression based model, and you often come across terms such as CTR, CPC, CPM, RPM, and so on. Today, we'll talk about the basics of these terms and then see how Page RPM and Impression RPM are different from each other, because they're often confused as one. The basics of advertisement Let us take a step back first and see whether we understand the very basic terms used in advertising. Clicks - The total number of times an ad was clicked Page view - A page view is registered every time a user opens a page on your website.
