5:06 AM arshkapoor 4 comments

Google Adsense, a company which has changed the Internet to an online money making market. Google Adsense is a best way to earn online. They pay good and honestly if your work is unique and constant. Many of people are just blogging for making money on internet through Google Adsense or other ways. But there are many webmasters, bloggers and publishers which are not happy with Google Adsense and are looking for Alternative of Google Adsense to be able to earn online again because either they dont like Google Adsense (i don't know why) or they are banned by Google Adsense for Fraud Clicks, Invalid activities or violating their TOS (Terms and Conditions).

People are looking for Better Adsense Alternatives as a new source to earn and they make some extra bucks. But some of them want to left Google because Google only pays when the earning amount is $100 one more problem is Google Adsense PIN Code which Google Adsense send by mail (not my email) after confirming The Publisher has $10 in his Google Adsense Account. As minimum payout is $100, that can a healthy amount for small bloggers to earn and may take ages to get their first check from Google Adsense.

One more problem is Google only pays through Check and Western Union But several publishers like Paypal as a payment source which Google Adsense do not accept for Unknown reasons. There are many people which are earning in 5-6 digits $ money without getting a single penny from Google Adsense John Chow is a Good example of this.

Webmasters or publishers which are not accepted in Google Adsense, Banned by them or do not like to go with Google Adsense will like this list of Adsense Alternatives given below.

Interesting technical facts about Facebook

9:51 AM arshkapoor No comments

Most of us use Facebook as social network application. Its famous, popular so it requires devotion and accuracy to manage all this. Following are some interesting facts

#6 site on the internet
500 total employees
200 in engineering
25 in Infrastructure Engineering
One of the largest MySQL installations in the world
Big user and contributor to Memcached
More than 10k servers in production
6,000 logical databases in production

Photo Storage and Management at Facebook:

Photo facts:
6.5B photos in total
4 to 5 sizes of each picture is materialized (30B files)
475k images/second
Mostly served via CDN (Akamai & Limelight)
200k profile photos/second
100m uploads/week
Stored on netapp filers
First level caching via CDN (Akamai & Limelight)
99.8% hit rate for profiles
92% hit rate for remainder
Second level caching for profile pictures only via Cachr (non-profile goes directly against file handle cache)
Based upon a modified version of evhttp using memcached as a “backing” store
Since cachr is independent from memcachd, cachr failure doesn’t lose state
1 TB of cache over 40 servers
Delivers microsecond response
Redundancy so no loss of cache contents on server failure

Photo Servers

Non-profile requests go directly against the photo-servers
Only profile requests that miss the cachr cache.
File Handle Cache (FHC)
Based upon lighttpd and uses memcached as backing store
Reduces metadata workload on NetApp servers
Issue: filename to inode lookup is a serious scaling issue: 1) drives many I/Os or 2) wastes too much memory with a very large metadata caceh
They have extended the Linux kernel to allow NFS file opens via inode number rather than filename to avoid the NetApp scaling issue.
The inode numbers are stored in the FHC
This technique offloads the NetApp servers dramatically.
Note that files are write only. Mods write a new file and delete the old ones so the handles will fail and a new metadata lookup will be driven.

Issues with this architecture:

Netapp storage overwhelmed by metadata (3 disk I/Os to read a single photo).
The original design required 15 I/Os for a single picture (due to deeper directory hierarchy I’m guessing)
Tracking last access time, last modified etc. has no value to Facebook. They really only need a blob store but they are using a filesystem at additional expense
Heavy reliance on CDNs and caches such that netapp is basically almost pure backup
92% of non-profile and 99.8% of profile pictures are stored in CDN
Many of the rest are almost all stored in caching layers

Solution: Haystacks

Haystacks are a user level abstraction where lots of data is stored in a single file
Store an independent index vastly more efficient than the file store
1M of metadata/1G of data
Order of magnitude better on average than standard NetApp metadata
1 disk seek for all reads with any workload
Most likely store in XFS
Expect each haystack to be about 10G (with an index)
Speaker equates a Haystack to be a lot like a LUN and could be implemented on a LUN. The actual implementation is via NFS onto NetApp as photos were previously stored

Net of what’s happening:

Haystack always hits on the metadata
Plan to replace NetApp
Haystack is a win over NetApp but we’ll likely run over XFS (originally done by Silicon Grapics)
Want more control of the cache behavior

Each Haystack Format:
Version number, Magic number, Length, Data, Checksum, Index format, Version, Photo key, Photo size, Start, Length.

Not planning to delete photos at all since delete rate is VERY low so it the resource that would be recovered are not worth the work to recover them in the Facebook usage. Deletion just removes the entry from the index which makes the data unavailable but they don’t bother to actually remove it from the Haystack bulk storage system.

Q: Why not store the index in a RDBMS? Feels that it’ll drive too many I/Os and have the problems they are trying to avoid (I’m not completely convinced but do understand that simplicity and being in control has value).

• They still plan to use the CDN but they are hoping to reduce their dependence on CDN. They are considering becoming their own CDN (Facebook is absolutely large enough to be able to do this cost effectively today).

• They are considering using to SSDs in the future.

• Not interested in hosting with Google or Amazon. Compute is already close to the data and they are working to get both closer to users but don’t see a need/use for GAE or AWS at the Facebook scale.

• The Facebook default is to use databases. Photos are the largest exception but most data is stored in DBs. Few actions use transactions and joins though.

• Almost all data is cached twice: once in memcached and then again in the DBs.

Random bits:

Canada: 1 out of 3 Canadians use Facebook.
What is the strategy in China? A:“not to do what Google did” :-)
Looking at de-duping and other commonality exploiting systems for client to server communications and storage (great idea although not clearly a big win for photos).
90% Indians access internet via a mobile device. Facebook very focused on mobile and international.

A Blogger is a person who is always on the search of something interesting and useful that is useful to his readers. This job can get a bit tedious if not done properly and without the use some special softwares made to make blogger’s life easier. Here are some of the softwares that a blogger must have inorder to get the best out of his blogging.

Firefox Browser

Yes Firefox is the browser that I would suggest to all the blogger’s out there because of the presence of various addons and extensions to it and yes it is also Standards Compliant unlike IE.

Del.icio.us Account
Del.icio.us is a social bookmarking tool that helps you share links in a easy and effective manner. But there is much more to it. You Can use del.icio.us to discover new content for your blog and also keep track of everything you’ve discovered in the past so that you can retrieve it later easily.
OpenDNS
Yes OpenDNS is a very useful tool that not only helps you browse faster but also make it a lot more easier. For example you can create shortcuts to your most visited sites, and easily access them using OpenDNS. for eg. I use da to access this blog, gr to access google reader etc..
An Offline Blog Editor
Yes I would recommend either Windows Live Writer or thescribefire addon for firefox. Offline Blog Editors make blogging much more easier and also allow to manage multiple blogs at the same time.
A Feed Reader
A Feed reader is the bloggers best friend. A Feed reader allows you to keep track of your favorite blogs. Recommended feed readers are Google Reader or Bloglines.
StumbleUpon Toolbar
This is one must have toolbar. StumbleUpon allows you to discover some great new sites to blog about. StumbleUpon is my biggest source of content for this blog.
Digg Account
Digg is the posterboy of Web2.0. Aimed at providing the best Tech News, you can also use Digg to discover great content for your blog before everyone else blogs about it. Hat Tip useDigg Spy to discover stories that are worth a mention on your blog.
Google Calendar & Google Notebook
A Calendar is a must have tool for any blogger out there who wants to make it big. You should have a schedule set so that you don’t waste time on unnecessary things and at the same prioritize the things you need to do. Also a notebook tool where you can jot down important notes is also very important so that you don’t forget the next Killer idea. I Would recommend Google Calendar and Notebook for this.
Firebug + YSlow
This applies to all those bloggers who want to be Dugg. When you get dugg you’ll have huge burst of traffic and to make sure your blog does not go down fighting this mob you need to optimize your blog for minimal load times and server load. For this use Firebug and YSlow.

and last but not the least you definately need a blog to be a blogger right? Just Kidding. Hope this post will help you make yourself a much better and a productive blogger.
