It is <b>traffic to your Blog. </b></span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Many of you may have <b>written over 100 articles but not getting the desired traffic </b>that you deserve  . Well there are many reasons for that thing . You should always keep in mind that the <b>world is very big</b> and there are many internet users also and out of them many bloggers . So while writing a post you should think that you are not the only one who is writing on a topic . There can be over 10 , 100 , 1000 , 10000 or million . </span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Well the Reason why most blogger end their career is they are not getting what they deserve for their hard work . <b>That Is traffic</b> . <b>The Reason why a blog post may fail are :-</b></span><br /><br /><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Content is very Short </span></b></li><b></b><li><b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Content is very Common </span></b></li><b></b><li><b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">No  SEO Done for the Respective Blog</span></b></li><b></b><li><b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">No  Keyword research done while writing the post</span></b></li><b></b><li><b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The Content is fully copy-pasted resulting in penalty from the Search Engines</span></b></li><b></b><li><b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Content Doesn't Make Sense</span></b></li><b></b><li><b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Content is not promoted</span></b></li><b></b><li><b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Content is very unique that hardly 10-20 people search for it</span></b></li><b></b><li><b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Content is no-longer popular</span></b></li><b></b><li><b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Bugs in Blog/Website</span></b></li><b></b><li><b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Load time of the Blog is very high because of excessive installed widgets </span></b></li></ul><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">There are many more reason .

It makes no sense by writing a post on a very old telephone that no one searches for . Alternatively to see what is in trends you always have a very good friend of your internet world , <b>THE GOOGLE</b>. You Can <a href="https://adwords.google.com/o/Targeting/Explorer?__c=1000000000&__u=1000000000&ideaRequestType=KEYWORD_IDEAS" target="_blank"><b>use the Keyword Tool Of Google</b></a> to See what peoples search for . </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">But also you shouldn't write a post on a topic that is very common .

It will be the foundation of a lot of Ubuntu Touch code and webapps code</i>", this probably leading to considering it as the default browser on the desktop too.</div><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">A new feature that might be added to Ubuntu 13.10 Saucy Salamander is "<b>click packages</b>", a simplified package format and installer - we've already covered that so take a look at our initial article for details: <a href="http://www.webupd8.org/2013/05/ubuntu-might-get-new-simplified.html">Ubuntu Might Get A New Simplified Packaging Format And App Installer</a>.</div><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Update:</b> <b><a href="http://www.webupd8.org/2012/02/new-locally-integrated-menubar-might.html">locally integrated menus</a></b> was initially in the Desktop Unity Polish for 13.10 <a href="https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/client-s-unity7-polish">blueprint</a>, but was later removed, so it seems this feature won't make it in Ubuntu 13.10 either (it was firstly supposed to land in Ubuntu 12.04).</div><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Other changes that might make it into Ubuntu 13.10 Saucy Salamander include:</b></div><ul><li style="text-align: justify;">support by default the latest Nvidia drivers that come with <a href="http://www.webupd8.org/2013/04/nvidia-releases-linux-graphics-drivers.html">initial Optimus support</a> (the patches are already available, there's little work required);</li><li style="text-align: justify;">there might be some new indicators (e.g.: for Keyboard);</li><li style="text-align: justify;">Saucy will probably ship with xserver 1.14 or even 1.15, mesa 9.2.x and Linux Kernel 3.10 or 3.11;</li><li style="text-align: justify;">prime support, Radeon UVD support, proper radeonsi support as well as proper touch screen support for X.Org.</li></ul><br /><br /><br /><h2>Possible Lubuntu 13.10 Saucy Salamander changes</h2><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Some interesting changes are expected to happen in Lubuntu too, the LXDE Ubuntu flavor. While Ubuntu might switch from Firefox to Chromium, <b>Lubuntu considers the opposite: it might ship with Firefox by default instead of Chromium</b> as the default web browser because Chromium uses too much memory for Lubuntu, which is supposed to be a lightweight Linux distribution.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Other possible changes in Lubuntu 13.10 Saucy Salamander include:</b></div><ul><li style="text-align: justify;">remove lxkeymap in favor of the keyboard applet of lxpanel;</li><li style="text-align: justify;">Lubuntu Software Center might be replaced with something else;</li><li style="text-align: justify;">Xscreensaver might be removed and replaced with the LightDM locking system;</li><li style="text-align: justify;">some new games might be added by default;</li><li style="text-align: justify;">artwork changes.</li></ul><br /><br /><br /><h2>Xubuntu 13.10 Saucy Salamander</h2><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">No Xubuntu session shows up in the UDS session list, but there are some sessions registered on Launchpad, though they don't give too much info about Xubuntu 13.10 Saucy Salamander. So far, it looks like <b>Xubuntu 13.10 might get apt-offline by default</b> and also, there's going to be a<b> study to see if it's feasible to integrate HUD into Xubuntu</b>. Xubuntu Saucy might also get a new <b>keyboard shortcuts overlay</b>, kind of like the one available in Ubuntu and some other minor tweaks, at least according to the <a href="https://blueprints.launchpad.net/sprints/uds-1305/+specs?searchtext=xubuntu">current blueprints</a>.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Also, since Xfce 4.12 was <a href="http://wiki.xfce.org/releng/4.12/roadmap">supposed</a> to be released in March, but wasn't, it's still unsure if Xubuntu 13.10 Saucy Salamander will ship with Xfce 4.12 or continue with 4.10 like in Xubuntu Quantal.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>There's little or no information for now about Kubuntu, Ubuntu GNOME or the other Ubuntu flavors, that's why I didn't add any info about them.</b></div><br /><div style="text-align: right;"><i>info via <a href="http://summit.ubuntu.com/uds-1305/">summit.ubuntu.com/uds-1305/</a></i></div>

Get Weather Or System Info On Your Desktop With These 2 Conky Configurations

<div style="text-align: justify;">There are two Conky configurations I've been wanting to write about for a while, but I didn't have the time to do it, until today, so here it is: the first one has been created by <a href="http://satya164.deviantart.com/">Satya</a>, it's called Conky Google Now and is very easy to set up while the second one, created by Pressian, is more advanced and requires some experience with Conky to set it up.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><a href="http://conky.sourceforge.net/">Conky</a> is a lightweight, highly configurable system monitor tool which can display the information on your desktop, in different shapes and forms.</i></div><br /><a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: justify;">Before proceeding, make sure you've firstly installed Conky. In Ubuntu, <b>install it using the following command:</b></div><pre class="linux-code"><code>sudo apt-get install conky-all</code></pre><br /><br /><h2>Conky Google Now</h2><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP215QlF1W3fEEMs1z60sIushabM9Eib2XXqKLgNMLnr7fV183EX4CE0ZUZAv1i8feJpJ7kLeJUWEirA_iZ6oTsZIkeOSIMSRseTklhgnWz4Y9ooApeKTihoUyhWLndZWKcKou7Js7rUiQ/s1600/conky-google-now_2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP215QlF1W3fEEMs1z60sIushabM9Eib2XXqKLgNMLnr7fV183EX4CE0ZUZAv1i8feJpJ7kLeJUWEirA_iZ6oTsZIkeOSIMSRseTklhgnWz4Y9ooApeKTihoUyhWLndZWKcKou7Js7rUiQ/s400/conky-google-now_2.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><br /><b><a href="http://satya164.deviantart.com/art/Conky-Google-Now-366545753">Download Conky Google Now</a></b><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Conky Google Now is a Conky configuration created by Satya which tries to imitate Google Now. This should be very easy to use as there isn't much to configure: you only need to get the Yahoo Weather ID for your city and enter it in the Conky configuration file.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This Conky config displays the current weather, a forecast for the next two days, wind speed as well as the network up / down speed and total sent / received data.</div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">To use Conky Google Now, download the configuration files from <a href="http://satya164.deviantart.com/art/Conky-Google-Now-366545753">Deviant Art</a> (link above) - there's a download link on the right.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Now, install the Open Sans (Light) font which is used by Conky Google Now. Download the font from <a href="http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/open-sans">HERE</a>, extract the archive and place the font(s) under ~/.fonts (if the folder doesn't exist, create it), then update the font cache using the following command:</div><pre class="linux-code"><code>sudo fc-cache -fv</code></pre><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The next step is to extract the downloaded archive, then press CTRL + H inside the extracted folder to be able to see all the files (all are hidden except the README) and copy the ".conky-google-now" and ".conkyrc" in your home folder. If you want to use the dark Conky Google Now, copy ".conkyrc-dark" in your home folder instead and rename it to ".conkyrc".</div><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://img.netupd8.com/conky-google-now-dark.png" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="Conky Google Now Dark" src="http://img.netupd8.com/conky-google-now-dark_thumb.png" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Conky Google Now dark</td></tr></tbody></table><br />Now go to <a href="http://weather.yahoo.com/">weather.yahoo.com</a>, search for your city (under "Enter city or zip code"), and once you reach your city weather page, note down the numbers (this is the WOEID) from the end of the URL, e.g., in my case, the URL is: <i>"http://weather.yahoo.com/romania/bucuresti/bucharest-868274/</i>" so the WOEID is "868274". Now open the <i>~/.conkyrc</i> file, search for "2294941" (without the quotes) and replace it with your WOEID, then save the file.<br /><br />Now, to run conky, simply open a terminal or type ALT + F2 and enter: "conky".<br /><br /><br /><br /><h2>Conky by Pressian</h2><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://img.netupd8.com/conky-pressian.png"><img alt="Conky y Pressian" src="http://img.netupd8.com/conky-pressian_thumb.png" /></a></div><br /><br /><b><a href="http://webupd8.googlecode.com/files/conky%20by%20Pressian-0.1.tar.gz">Download Conky by Pressian</a></b><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">The second Conky configuration has been created by WebUpd8 reader Pressian and take a bit more to set up than Conky Google Now, but it also displays more information. The configuration is especially created for laptops that come with Nvidia Optimus technology and 4 CPU cores so if you don't have this system configuration, you'll need to tweak this Conky setup which may need some experience with Conky. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Please note that this Conky configuration uses transparency, so it won't work properly in Unity (if you know a way to get it to display properly, without shadows, etc., let us know in the comments, but I've already tried basically everything and at least in Ubuntu 13.04, I can't get it to display properly in Unity, but it works great in GNOME Shell for instance).</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Information displayed by this Conky configuration includes: system info (uptime, system load, battery status, processor and video card), top 5 processes, CPU stats (frequency, usage, temperature), optimized for 4 cores so if you have less or more, you'll need to tweak the configuration file, memory stats (RAM used and free, HDD used as well as the HDD temperature, network stats (up/down speed, local and public IP and Wifi bitrate and signal strength if available, as well as the GPU stats for laptops using the Optimus technology (Nvidia driver, Nvidia GPU state as well as the temperature and frequency but only when the Nvidia GPU is in use).</div><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">To use it, download the archive from <a href="http://webupd8.googlecode.com/files/conky%20by%20Pressian-0.1.tar.gz">HERE</a>, extract it and then press CTRL + H to see the Conky configuration files (they are hidden by default). Then, copy the ".conky" and ".fonts" folders as well as the ".conkyrc" file into your home folder.</div><br />Then, you need to update the font cache:<br /><pre class="linux-code"><code>sudo fc-cache -fv</code></pre><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Since this Conky configuration displays a lot of information, there are also some dependencies you need to install:<i> lm-sensors, hddtemp, curl </i>and <i>bumblebee</i>. In Ubuntu, install the first three using the following command:</div><pre class="linux-code"><code>sudo apt-get install lm-sensors hddtemp curl</code></pre><br />Then, set up lm-sensors using the following command:<br /><pre class="linux-code"><code>sudo sensors-detect</code></pre><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">And answer "yes" to everything, then run the following command to load the sensors modules:</div><br />- Ubuntu 13.04 and newer:<br /><pre class="linux-code"><code>sudo service kmod start</code></pre>- Ubuntu versions older than 13.04:<br /><pre class="linux-code"><code>sudo service module-init-tools start</code></pre><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">For <i>hddtemp</i>, also run this command (might be required for some Linux distributions / Ubuntu versions):</div><pre class="linux-code"><code>sudo chmod u+s /usr/sbin/hddtemp</code></pre><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">For how to install Bumblebee (specific for those with Optimus laptops, see <a href="http://www.webupd8.org/2013/04/bumblebee-321-released-with-ubuntu-1304.html" title="Bumblebee 3.2.1 Released With Ubuntu 13.04 Fixes, New Options">THIS</a> article.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Now, to run Conky, simply press ALT + F2 and enter: "conky".</div><br /><br /><br /><h2>Adding Conky to startup</h2><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">If you want Conky to start automatically when you log in, you must add it to the startup applications and for this we'll need to use a script (we need to start it with a delay so it doesn't show up on top) so create a file somewhere, e.g.: in a folder called "scripts" in your home directory - let's call the file "start_conky". And in this file, paste this:</div><pre class="source-code"><code>#! /bin/bash<br />sleep 20<br />conky</code></pre><div style="text-align: justify;">Then save the file and make it executable. If you've followed our exact instructions and the file is called "start_conky" and is located in the "scripts" folder in your home directory, you can make it executable using the following command:</div><pre class="linux-code"><code>chmod +x ~/scripts/start_conky</code></pre><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Now open the Startup Applications dialog, click "Add", under "Name" enter "Conky" and under "Command", select "Browse" and here, select the "start_conky" file, then click "Add" and you're done. </div><br /><b>For more Conky configurations, browse our <a href="http://www.webupd8.org/search/label/conky?max-results=10">Conky tag</a>.</b>
