Error 1: Earnings at risk - You need to fix some ads.txt file issues to avoid severe impact to your revenue

What is Blogging or Blogger? 

The Wiki says,

Blogger is an American online content management system (CMS) which enables multi-user blogs with time-stamped entries. Pyra Labs developed it before being acquired by Google in 2003. Google hosts the blogs, which can be accessed through a subdomain of blogspot.com. Blogs can also be accessed from a user-owned custom domain (such as www.example.com) by using DNS facilities to direct a domain to Google's servers. A user can have up to 100 blogs or websites per account.

Google Blogger also enabled users to publish blogs and websites to their own web hosting server via FTP until May 1, 2010. All such blogs and websites had to be redirected to a blogspot.com subdomain or point their own domain to Google's servers via DNS. Google Blogger has a wide international user base and is available in more than 60 languages, despite its decline in popularity in the United States.

What is Adsense? 

The Wiki further says,

Google AdSense is a program run by Google through which website publishers in the Google Network of content sites serve text, images, video, or interactive media advertisements that are targeted to the site content and audience. These advertisements are administered, sorted, and maintained by Google. They can generate revenue on either a per-click or per-impression basis. Google beta-tested a cost-per-action service, but discontinued it in October 2008 in favor of a DoubleClick offering (also owned by Google). In Q1 2014, Google earned US$3.4 billion ($13.6 billion annualized), or 22% of total revenue, through Google AdSense. AdSense is a participant in the AdChoices program, so AdSense ads typically include the triangle-shaped AdChoices icon. This program also operates on HTTP cookies. In 2021, over 38.3 million websites use AdSense.

Common Error After Adsense Getting Approved

"Earnings at risk - You need to fix some ads.txt file issues to avoid severe impact to your revenue."

Why fix this?

Adsense support explained in their blog,

Authorized Digital Sellers, or ads.txt is an IAB Tech Lab initiative that helps ensure that your digital ad inventory is only sold through sellers (such as AdSense) who you've identified as authorized. Creating your own ads.txt file gives you more control over who's allowed to sell ads on your site and helps prevent counterfeit inventory from being presented to advertisers.

We strongly recommend that you use an ads.txt file. It can help buyers identify counterfeit inventory and help you receive more advertiser spend that might have otherwise gone toward that counterfeit inventory.

How to Fix ads.txt issues in AdSense

When Blogger shows this Error in the Adsense Approved page, it also suggests the steps to fix this error.

Let us see how to fix this error.

Step 1: Click on the option 'Fix now.' Then the below window will open with the option 'DOWNLOAD'. Click on the 'DOWNLOAD' button, and one text file will be downloaded named, ads.txt

Step 2: If you open the ads.txt file, you can see a few details as shown below. This will have the information of your 16-digit publisher ID as pub-1234567890123456 and some other 16-digit Google tracking ID as abcabcabcabcabca. The pub ID and the tracking ID that is shown here are for demo only.

Step 3: Now go to Blogger.com and log into your blog.

Step 4: In the left pane, find the option called 'Settings.'

Step 5: Once you click on the 'Settings,'  some more options will appear. Scroll down till you find the option called 'Monetization.' Enable that toggle button and then click on the 'Custom ads.txt.'

Step 6: Now copy the content of the ads.txt file that you already downloaded before. Now paste that copied text into this place and 'SAVE' that information.

You are done now. 

Take a chill pill and relax. As Adsense itself indicates that it might take a few days to reflect this setting in your blog. That means even though the issue is fixed from our side, we can still see this error message for another couple of days.

How to Reduce Data Usage on Windows 10

How to Turn off Background Data for Windows:

How many of us have noticed that windows is consuming data at a rather unusual speed? It's like you are using your mobile data via hotspot for half an hour and BANG! It's finished. It's frustrating that data is consumed even when you are literally doing nothing, thanks to a few processes that run in the background even when windows is idle. Today we are going to see what these processes are and how to get rid of them and save our precious data.

1. Turn off Automatic Updates:

Windows OS is known for rolling out updates every now and then. And with the "Automatic Updates" feature ON by default, it keeps downloading updates whenever your system is connected to the internet. So one way of saving data from being consumed is to turn off these automatic updates. Here, I want to highlight one thing that by turning off automatic updates you are not going to miss out the latest features released for windows. You just have to do them manually whenever you want to. Now let's see how to turn off automatic updates on windows 10.

Step 1-> Click on "Start Menu" and click on "Settings" icon.

Step 2->  In the "Settings" panel, click on "Update & Security" option.

Step 3-> Under the "Update & Security" tab, click on "Advanced options". Inside the "Advanced options" tab you will find a "Pause updates" header. Click on the drop down menu and select the farthest date till which updates can be paused. Voila! Your automatic updates will be turned off for a while. As of now the farthest date allowed is one month from the current date. In addition to this turn off all the options available under the "Update options" header.

2. Turn off "Background Intelligent Transfer Service":

 There's another background process that is responsible for high data consumption in our system. This process uses the idle bandwidth to transfer data. Do the following to check which process is consuming data.

Press Windows key + R and type "taskmgr". Hit enter. The task manager window will pop up. Click on the "network" header (circled in red) to sort the processes in decreasing order of network consumption. If "Background Intelligent Transfer Service" is consuming high amounts of data, it will be there somewhere at the top. An example is shown in the following image.

Now that you have confirmed that "Background Intelligent Transfer Service" is responsible for the consumption of high amounts of data, it's time to turn it off.

To turn it off do the following.

Step 1-> Press Windows key +R. A dialogue box will appear on the screen. Input "services.msc" in the field and press "Enter".

Step 2-> A list of services will appear. Scroll down and look for "Background Intelligent Transfer Service".

Step 3-> Right click on it and select "Properties" from the menu. A window will appear. Select "General" tab in the window. Under "General" tab, go to "Startup type" and click on the drop down menu. Select "disabled" to disable this service. Click on "OK" to apply the changes.

Now you can again open the task manager and check the network consumption of different processes. You will find that the data consumption has significantly reduced after disabling the "Background Intelligent Transfer Service".

Above are two methods by which huge amount of precious data can be saved. Do let us know in the comments if it helps you to reduce your data consumption.

How to Remove All Images from Word Document/File At Once | 2021

Microsoft Office Word is a very common tool that most professionals deal with it on regular basis. The bloggers or the content writers use Word on daily basis for writing, drafting, or correcting their contents. As the Word App is equipped with so many in-built features it is so popular from the beginning.

Though the application goes with the name Word we can easily insert images and graphics and work with them. Handling images of different formats like JPEG, PNG, GIF, is super easy in Word. Not only from the local computers or local network even pictures from online can easily be inserted.

In this article, we will show how to insert single or multiple images or remove them one by one or all at once. All the options or settings that will be mentioned here are from Word (2016). We are pretty sure these settings or the options would be almost the same across all versions of Office Word.

How to insert Image:

Click ‘INSERT’ on the top bar >> Pictures/Online Pictures >> <insert single or multiple pictures>

How to remove a single image:

1. Click anywhere on the photo that you want to delete.
2. One box will appear around the selected photo.
3. Hit the Delete/Backspace button.
4. The selected photo will be deleted.

How to remove all images at once:

We will use one of the in-built features of office Word. We will use the well-known ’Find & Replace’ option to perform this task.

1. Click on the ‘HOME’ tab then find this option called, ‘Replace’. 
2. Click on ‘Replace’and the below window will be popped up.
3. In the ‘Find what’ section type ‘^g’.
4. In the ‘Replace with’ section keep it blank.
5. Click on ‘Replace All’

Refer to the picture below:

 

How this Works?

As we already understood it is working on the principle of ‘Find and Replace’. ‘^g’ is a notation to indicate all the diagrams, graphics, charts, etc. In the ‘Replace with’ section we are keeping that ‘blank’. So when we are hitting on the ‘Replace All’ button all the graphics, charts or diagrams are getting replaced with a ‘black’ that eventually removes the figures.

Drawback:

There is a slight drawback to this process. In this method, all the figures will be removed at once. You cannot selectively remove some of the photos. So if you need to remove all the photos or most of the photos then follow this tutorial. Once, all photos are removed you can insert some of the photos in place of them.

Another Use of his feature:

Let us say you are writing a script and used some small graphics or images to separate paragraphs/chapters from each other. Now after writing 100s of pages if you want to replace that small graphics or images with a new one then follow these steps.

1. Insert the new image on top of the word document.
2. Select the new picture and copy it (Ctrl+C or Right Click and Copy)
3. Open the ‘Replace’ window as before
4. Now as before give a ‘g’ in the ‘Find what’ section
5. Put a ‘^c’ in the ‘Replace with’ section instead of blank. Here, ‘^c‘ is the clipboard that holds the new image.
6. Hit the ‘Replace All’ button and Voilà!
7. Old images are replaced by the new one.

Grammarly is very much helpful for non-native English users mostly. Though it is suitable for non-technical content writing, it lacks few aspects to understand the technical terms. Grammarly does not interpret the URL links. For instance, if we write Oneplus. In, Grammarly suggests writing the same as Oneplus<dot><space>In as if “OnePlus. In”. It suggests ‘dark mode’ as ‘dark way,’ ‘WhatsApp Status’ as ‘WhatsApp Info,’ ‘phone data’ as ‘phone information,’ and so on.

How to Install and Run ‘Double WhatsApp’ in Android Phone | 2021

Nowadays, every single android phone is coming with Dual SIM hardware support. So, anyone can use both the SIMs whenever needed. Though we can use both the SIMs, not a long time ago when we were limited to run only a Single WhatsApp Account associated with the single Phone number in android.

But the popular OEMs like Samsung, Xiaomi, Vivo, Oppo, Huawei, OnePlus, and many others have brought the solution to this issue with their in-built feature. That means we can run two WhatsApp accounts associated with both the SIMs inserted inside the phone. As we implied earlier, remember that we do not have to install any third-party apps for running double WhatsApp Account in a single phone.

Using ‘dual apps,’ ‘parallel apps,’ or ‘dual mode’ feature, it is very easy to install and run not only double WhatsApp but other applications as well. Instagram or Facebook, or any other applications can be installed with this feature. In this article, we will focus on installing and running two WhatsApp accounts in a single, smart Android Phone. Following that method, any user can install other chatting or social accounts as needed.

First, we will discuss how to use the in-built feature of the phone to use ‘dual mode’ or ‘parallel mode’ of the phone. But unfortunately, if your phone does not support an in-built feature for installing double WhatsApp or any other Apps, do not worry.

We have got your back. We will also, discuss an alternate method (using Third-Party Apps) to install and run multiple accounts associated with both phone numbers in your smartphone.

In-Build/Default Settings

So, buckle up and let us find the settings in our smartphone where we can start from.

Phones/Brands	Settings
Samsung	Settings >> Advanced Feature>>Dual Messenger
Xiaomi(Redmi)	Settings >> Dual Apps
Oppo(Real Me)	Settings >> Clone Apps
Vivo	Settings >> App Clone
Asus	Settings >> Twin Apps
Huawei/Honor	Settings >> App Twin
OnePlus	Settings >> Utilities >> Parallel Apps

Please note that these settings can differ slightly for different sets of the same brand. The settings’ paths may get modified a little in each update also. So, if you still do not get the desired settings, then be smart and search for ‘Dual’ or ‘Double’ or ‘Twin’ or ‘Clone.’ in your search button under the settings option.

Once you have found your Dual Apps, we can then proceed in using these below steps.

1. Open Dual Apps Mode or Settings. We will show here an example of the OnePlus phone as a reference. Under Settings >> Utilities >> Parallel Apps.

   

   
   
2. Now select the application (in this case WhatsApp) you want to duplicate or replicate in your phone
   
   
   
3. Wait for the process to be completed. It may take a few seconds
4. Once the process is completed, you can minimize or close the settings and come back to the home screen or your phone’s Apps Tray
5. You can now find another WhatsApp Icon in your Home Screen or Apps Tray, as shown below
   
   
   
6. Now you can create a WhatsApp Account and run ‘double WhatsApp’ on your Smartphone. You do not have to install WhatsApp again

Though all phones now do not give their user this in-built feature, OEMs are incorporating this feature day by day. Shortly, maybe all of the Brands will provide the users with this default mode. As I mentioned earlier, Double WhatsApp, other social media apps, or chatting messengers can be installed and run with this mentioned method. Needless to say, users must not have two SIMs to install and run a double WhatsApp Account or any other chatting Apps.

Third-Party Apps

Now, unfortunately, if you had to come to this point because your phone is not having an in-built default feature, as we promised earlier, we will share methods for installing and running a double WhatsApp account on your Smartphone.

Go to Play Store on your smartphone and search for ‘Multiple Accounts’ or ‘Parallel Space’ or ‘Parallel App.’ Install any of the Applications from the top results and give the required access to the App.

Now follow the below steps.

1. As a reference, let us see how we can install Double WhatsApp using Multiple Accounts, a third-party application from PlayStore.
   
   
   
2. Open the application, and an Apps tray would show up like this.
   
   
   
3. Now tap the big + sign(bottom-right corner of the above image) to see all the applications that were already installed on your phone.
   
   
   
4. Select the Apps(by tapping the + signs shown in the picture) you want to duplicate. Please note that at least one software has to be installed on your phone to make the duplicate. For this case, tap the + sign, situated beside WhatsApp Application.
5. Once the app is selected, you will automatically be redirected to the app's tray like this.
   
   
   
6. Now you can add other applications if you want or proceed with the application of your interest.
7. If you want to try WhatsApp, you can give your alternate phone number to install another simultaneous WhatsApp Account.

   
8. Unlike the In-built feature where we can get another Duplicate Apps Icon is getting created in the System's Apps Menu or Home Screen, you have to open its own Apps for third-party applications tray to Run the Duplicate Account(s).

Hope you liked this detailed tutorial for installing and running Simultaneous Duplicate Accounts on your smartphone like WhatsApp, Messenger, Instagram, and other social or chatting Applications.

Method 1: Windows Button (W) + PrtSc

PrtSc is the inbuilt key on most of the keyboards nowadays. This key resides on the keypad either as an individual key or as coupled with other keys in the first line (or near the Number keys). Wherever it be, we can use this key to take a screenshot of our PC. Now, it is to be noted that, though all these below methods are correct, some of them might be OS-specific only.

1.       Hold Windows Button (W) + PrtSc together. If this does nothing, then Press only PrtSc button.

2.  The screen will be dimmed and the screenshots will be saved in “C:\Users\...\Pictures\Screenshots” folder. Or else a few options will be popped up on the top of the screen of the PC.

3.       Using those options, you can take the screenshot in rectangular format or in the freeform clip as you want or the full-screen screenshot of your PC.

4.       Select any option and drag over your PC screenshot (the part you want to take a screenshot of), and the screenshot will be automatically saved in “C:\Users\...\Pictures\Screenshots” folder.

5.       Now you can go to that Screenshots folder and edit the screenshot according to your need

This procedure involves two different inbuilt applications, i.e., PrtSc and MSPaint. The former one will capture the screenshot, and the latter one will help you edit and/or save the screenshots in any location on your PC with ‘Save’ or ‘Save As’ option.

1.       Press the PrtSc button on the Keyboard. This will copy the screenshot in the clipboard.

2.       Open MS Paint (or shortly Paint).

3.       And then press Ctrl+V to paste the screenshot in the MsPaint App.

4.       In MsPaint you can edit the Screenshot as required and then go to File >> ‘Save’ or ‘Save As’ option to save the screenshot in any folder in any format you want to.

Method 3: Snipping Tool

If nothing works; this will surely be working to any version of the OS available in your PC.

1.       Go to start or press Windows Button (W) and search for Snipping Tool. Once the result is seen in the search results, click on the Application.

2.      The application will be opened as below photo. This software comes with few options on the top bar. To take Screenshot we do not have to worry about all the options but the first one.

3.       Click on the first option ‘New (Scissors Symbol)’ and your screen will be dimmed. You can drag your mouse over your desktop screen to select the area you want to take the screenshot for.

4.       Once the area is selected Snipping Tool will give few options. Out of that Click on File >> Save As (or Press Ctrl+S) to save the file in your preferred location with preferred Format.

5.       Before saving the photo from Snipping Tool the screenshot can be edited too if needed.

6.       The screenshot can be copied from the ‘Edit’ option of Snipping tool to paste it in some other Tools or software like MS Office Word or Paint to further use.

Setting related issues to take screenshots on windows 10:
