Simple idea how to track link clicks (forum, blogs) - Analytics

I have placed a link to my game on my blog and I wanted to know how many people actually click on the ad. I have used simple method, goo.gl URL shortener. I have used this one because I of course already have a google account. I can track all shorted links and google gives me simplified, but useful data.

Hello
This one is very nice and free

Yes you also have bit.ly , both are great

I have tried both options.
It's very useful for simple click tracking.

I've spent the last few months developing a tool to do exactly this, its called Taveo. You can read more at: taveo.net
It's similar to bit.ly, but has a lot more features (think bit.ly + Google Analytics).
I am currently running a private beta, but if anyone on the forum here is interested in a Beta Invite, pm me and I will provide one.

Dropbox: Get double space (500MB) for (existing!) referrals and up to 16GB in total!

Hi,
I know that there are many people already using dropbox out there. With clients for Windows, Mac, iOS, Android and WinMo the software is simply awesome.
Most of you will know as well, that you can extend your free space by referring people. Usually you'll get 250 MB extra per referral. I just discovered however, that it's possible to double this extra space to 500 MB. This works for new referrals AND for already referred people!
The maximum free space thereby increases to great 16 GB!
What you have to:
1. You'll need a dropbox account. Don't have one yet? Sign up here: http://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTI0MDk3ODM5
(Of course you don't need to use my reflink. You can simply visit the website and sign up. But firstly I'd really be thankful for using it and secondly you'll get another 250 MB if you use a reflink.)
2. You'll need an educational e-mail adress. It doesn't need to end with .edu though. Don't have one? Search for free educational e-mail adresses. If you understand german you could e.g. sign up with www.uni.de EDIT: uni.de adresses seem not to be accepted by dropbox anymore. Try looking for alternatives if you don't have an educational adress yet.
3. Log in to your existing dropbox account. Then enter https://www.dropbox.com/edu into your browser. On the website enter your (educational) e-mail and confirm the sent e-mail.
Done. Your free space per referral should now be doubled.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Becksman

WTF? I guess this translates to Fabulous Awesome Proposal and is your way of thanking for the hint?
No. It means I'd rather yank than give you the satisfaction of more storage space.
Besides, MediaFire is the way to go
it's funny though, you have just enough posts to let you include links, and this is what you give us. Spam.
Where's the clown when you need him? Must be a busy week for the mods...
OK, now I get it. Though I don't understand why you're upset. The reason why I posted this is not to share my reflink, but to pass on a useful hint, which I was thankful to learn about. I didn't really see anything wrong in including the link
Well, the Uni.de approach didn't work for me (it was invalid on Dropbox.com/edu) but I used your referral link nonetheless. Thanks!
Well,i like media fire....

Yay...? Have you ever used dropbox? It's nothing like a simple file hosting service, it keeps a dedicated folder in explorer/nautilus/finder synced with their servers.
Cool trick, I don't have any need for it but I'll be sure to pass it on
Double post, my bad.
I think they actually utilize a pre-determined domain list now, as I tried to make use a californiacolleges.edu email address (which the side will allow anyone to make an email account) and it was not accepted, even though it is a .edu.
Thanks for the tip. Had to find my old college email, but doubled my space...cool.
I guess my school isn't on that list.
edit: Sorry, didn't realize how old this thread was. Followed a link from someone's signature.

[APP] WP7 3mktPlace v0.4

Hello,
I would like to share a windows app, kind of a parallel market for desktop that allows you to download almost any WP7 application, and convert it automatically into .XAP file.
But I don't know if it is ok with moderation so please mods let me know about it before I upload the .zip file.
Thanks.
sounds like a great way to finally be able to install the free netflix app, even if it is not listed in your marketplace...

there's already an program for this over in the general windows 7 dev section

I don't think so.
This is a PAID APP and therefore NOT OK to post here.
Posting a link to a place where users can BUY the app IS OK.

This software lets you download any app from the market, including paid ones. Hence it is not allowed on xda.

Nope, this is a free app, but as said above, it can download any app, free or not, and convert it into .XAP.
So it can be considered as warez but it is not really one actually. Since it's able to grab free apps in .XAP file system, I though it was an interesting tool for finding rare .XAP apps...
But that is why I waited before posting any link, as the status of this app is rather vague, like in the grey area...
I think it's a free app. I've tried and works well.
Unfortunately, it seems it works for free and paid apps (honestly, haven't tried it, but read that it is possible). It is a pitty, because it won't be allowed on XDA and it is a great way to avoid all the trouble to get a live ID.
Well couldn't somebody mod it to only access the free ones?
There is also another software that does the same as this, both are by different devs. Would be great if we had a XDA dev work on it and release it with better/more stable functions.

That would be a great step for HD2 users.
not hard at all to activate
other than the activation code from Microsoft being location based, it is not hard what so ever to have WP7 be fully fuctional. i have zero issues down loading/accessing anything from windows live, market, zune. all the info to do so is here on the forums, and a 5 min call to Microsoft customer service. There was only two specific questions they asked 1. are u in the US, 2. what is the phone Brand. having all of the software set up properly, then entering that code gives full use. when i plugged into the Zune software after it recognized it as HD7....................been testing the crap out of it since. zero problems. take your time....put all the software in the right order, call to get a code...done....
sorry if the Microsoft activation code does not work for you based on location.. that blows
please be realistic
it is considered as cracking app to me, definitely not allowed here, period. It is everywhere in the Chinese forums, where they share all kind of cracked paid apps.
Yes, there's no distinction between free and paid apps. I've download to alternative browsers, not knowing they were paid.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=908293 - it seems to do the same thing, but only displays free apps. Should be sticky here.
Either way, bored of WP7, back to Android!
tried so many games and apps
apps are fine ! but no game is working except NFS !!!

what exactly does this program do? just crack paid apps?
it download paid apps for free therefore not allowed to be discussed on XDA.
I suggest any discussion stop unless your willing to suffer a suspension or a bann

Actually it only downloads the free apps aswell as trials, it doesnt directly download any full apps. What it does do also is edit the trial so its full on supported titles.
Well I wouldn't consider removing the trial limitation to full legal since its then a full app. Anyway carry on. Don't say no one told ya

7gb free from dropbox!

or 5 more if you already have it
this link shows you how to do it:

Are my Facebook and Google+ buttons working?

Hi guys,
I've just added a Facebook share button and Google+ share button to my site (on the one page for testing). The site is only a hobby and I'm new to Facebook and Google+ and don't usually use those services. However, could you please check or tell me if the buttons are or are not working or doing the right thing when you press them please? (If you use Facebook or Google.)
I'm not much of a coder and spent a while looking for custom button code. Then I simply copied some url's that a couple of other sites are using and wanted to check that it's doing the right thing.
Sorry if this sounds like spam. It's all a little sad really, this being a hobby and me being 44 and all, but I do enjoy it and it keeps me out of trouble.
You needn't share my site of course, but please let me know if the buttons are indeed working as they should.
If not, I'd appreciate a heads up of the correct way to do it.
Thanks a lot. :good:
Getting my Galaxy Note 2 on Friday, 16 November
The buttons work fine, mate. I've actually seen your site before, don't remember how I found it though.

LOL. I lost respect for you when I popped into your freeware recommendations (you can tell a lot about people by the freeware utilities they run) and I saw you have Realplayer in there. LOL. It is CANCER for the PC.
But you redeemed yourself when I saw Truecrypt in your list. :victory:

Thanks. The freeware isn't a personal recommendation, and I don't use some of it. I just like to think that it all helps newcomers (noobs) when it comes to the world of PC's.
I must admit, apart from trying the Android version to screenshot it, I haven't defaulted to RealPlayer in many years (if I even did).
Thanks both of you for your replies. I will update the other pages after work tonight.
If you have any suggestions of other stuff which might help newcomers in any of the included fields, just throw it my way.
Have a good day.

Are there any Chromecast specific web sites out there?

I just got my Chromecast and ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT. But the downfall that I see is that there doesn't seem to be anything similar to the Roku Store as a central source of information about new apps that support the device or hacks or general news or whatever. And there doesn't seem to be a way to really search the Android Play Store for apps that support the device. Does anyone know of a blog or web site devoted to announcements of the latest apps that support Chromecast? Or is there maybe an Android app that curates the latest news?

Thanks. I'd seen that link early on before there was a lot of other stuff posted on it. I have subscribed to it now though. I'm looking for something akin to AndroidCentral or something like a Drippler app for Chromecast. Surprised that no one has even registered CromeCastCentral.com yet. It would be a great URL for a blog on the topic.

Seems like so much of the stuff out there is developer/hacker related or otherwise technical in nature and not oriented to the consumer yet. I'm sure it will come though. There just needs to be something with an RSS feed that announces firmware and hardware updates, tips and tricks, and new programs or apps that are now supporting Chromecast.

If you are a Google+ member, there are some great people and pages to follow, including Google and Google employees. There are also Chromecast communities.

Cool! I think one needed tutorial is playlists. For example, how one can go about taking control from another device and changing what is playing versus adding to a play queue from another device. Even adding to a YouTube playlist from the computer is something I haven't figured out yet. Sending an entire YouTube playlist is fairly easy, but how do you add to it? How can someone ELSE add to it? IDK. But it is a perfect topic for a tutorial!
