There's a wonderful widget that you can include on your site.
See I'm not here advertising for Feedjit, but just by founding it that it cost that review.
The widget I use it already, is a traffic widget.
This one has the main features:
You know with it the last 10 visitors. From where they come, from each page, to any page.
It drives traffic for you!
If a visitor redirects to feedjit, the feedjit site has also the widget. and you'll have your site on the widget.
People who will access the site for this period may also access your site.
Feedjit drive about 5 visitors daily for my blog. Also it helps me knowing the best keywords.
You may try it.
See it just near you on the right. click to redirect to the site.
Thks for the traffic ;)

This the most occurred problem. When someone try to install a blogger template, this problem often occur!
First I won't talk about the errors but the right method and after it you'll never get errors!
Blogger supports 2 templates format.
There's 2 templates format that Blogger support.
The Classic format
The New format: XML
Then when you download a template, else you'll find a text file or an XML file.
If you found a text file: It's the Classic template.
If you found an XML file: It's the new template.
Which is better? The new sure why?
Because you can arrange and create element easily. However you need to type if you use the old blogger templates.
Now we came to install.
If the templates is classic.
Go to layout > Edit HTML and then select "reverse to classic template"
Then copy and paste your code
If the template is XML
Go to layout > Edit HTML and then click browse and select the XML file then upload it!
(Don't copy and paste the XML code)

It’s rare to find a poll widget on a Blogger blog. May I ask why?
The poll widget is very important and has many goals.
The first: you can know the other opinion about something.
Second: motivate your blog and make it live.
Third: If you have good traffic you’ll have many ratings and then it’s a success for your blog!
Fourth: I love polls.. Do you?

This is another cool blogger hack that will allow you to increase your page views and also to aid your visitors.
This hack consist to show related posts for the following post!
Go to templates edit html and click on expand widget templates and copy the whole code inside a plain text editor like notepad. You might consider backing up your template if something runs wrong.
Now paste the following in the page header :
<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
var relatedTitles = new Array();
var relatedTitlesNum = 0;
var relatedUrls = new Array();
function related_results_labels(json) {
for (var i = 0; i < json.feed.entry.length; i++) {
var entry = json.feed.entry[i];
relatedTitles[relatedTitlesNum] = entry.title.$t;
for (var k = 0; k < entry.link.length; k++) {
if (entry.link[k].rel == 'alternate') {
relatedUrls[relatedTitlesNum] = entry.link[k].href;
relatedTitlesNum++;
break;
}
}
}
}
function removeRelatedDuplicates() {
var tmp = new Array(0);
var tmp2 = new Array(0);
for(var i = 0; i < relatedUrls.length; i++) {
if(!contains(tmp, relatedUrls[i])) {
tmp.length += 1;
tmp[tmp.length - 1] = relatedUrls[i];
tmp2.length += 1;
tmp2[tmp2.length - 1] = relatedTitles[i];
}
}
relatedTitles = tmp2;
relatedUrls = tmp;
}
function contains(a, e) {
for(var j = 0; j < a.length; j++) if (a[j]==e) return true;
return false;
}
function printRelatedLabels() {
var r = Math.floor((relatedTitles.length - 1) * Math.random());
var i = 0;
document.write('<ul>');
while (i < relatedTitles.length && i < 20) {
document.write('<li><a href="' + relatedUrls[r] + '">' + relatedTitles[r] + '</a></li>');
if (r < relatedTitles.length - 1) {
r++;
} else {
r = 0;
}
i++;
}
document.write('</ul>');
}
//]]>
</script>
Scroll down to the blog1 widget, and find the following:
<b:if cond='data:post.labels'>
<data:postLabelsLabel/>
<b:loop values='data:post.labels' var='label'>
<a expr:href='data:label.url' rel='tag'><data:label.name/></a><b:if cond='data:label.isLast != "true"'>,</b:if>
</b:loop>
</b:if>
and change it to :
<b:if cond='data:post.labels'>
<data:postLabelsLabel/>
<b:loop values='data:post.labels' var='label'>
<a expr:href='data:label.url' rel='tag'><data:label.name/></a><b:if cond='data:label.isLast != "true"'>,</b:if>
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'>
<script expr:src='"/feeds/posts/default/-/" + data:label.name + "?alt=json-in-script&callback=related_results_labels&max-results=10"' type='text/javascript'/>
</b:if>
</b:loop>
</b:if>
Save the code back to your template html and go to page elements and add a new HTML/Javascript widget underneath the main blog posts widget with this code :
<script type="text/javascript">
removeRelatedDuplicates();
printRelatedLabels();
</script>
Now go back to Template -> Edit HTML, check the check box to expand the template code, and find the HTML/Javascript widget you just added. It'll look something like the following. Add the lines in bold:
<b:widget id='HTML13' locked='false' title='Related Posts' type='HTML'>
<b:includable id='main'>
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'>
<!-- only display title if it's non-empty -->
<b:if cond='data:title != ""'>
<h2 class='title'><data:title/></h2>
</b:if>
<div class='widget-content'>
<data:content/>
</div>
<b:include name='quickedit'/>
</b:if>
</b:includable>
</b:widget>

Blogger, Why choose blogger?
But why choose Wordpress for example and not Blogger?
Wordpress isn't better than blogger and any thing you can do on Wordpress you can do it on blogger, even the Top commentator widget that I was thinking it can be done only on Wordpress, you can do it now on blogger.
Blogger is also customizable but if you are a good PHP programmer so don't miss Wordpress or B2evo, you'll better use them. But if you prefer AJAX and XML then blogger is much better!
I love Blogger and Wordpress each one for various reasons. Wordpress have a PHP look and blogger an XML one!
Lol that's really funny, but to be productive you can use them both, as they are the most famous on the World.
But if you want to create a blog and make earning with it (Adsense for example), so you have to choose blogger or if you decided to go with Wordpress then you have to host it on your own server, So that you can add Google Adsense widgets. However Blogger can integrate Adsense automatically for you (like I'm doing).
If you finally decided to create a Blogger one then you'd better read my tutorial, that will guide you step by step to make your blogger.

I decided in this day to make a case of study of the omarabid.blogspot.com and the closed site : barcode maker.
I started with the blogger!
The study time interval will be from the first day of the blog making to yesterday.
So from 1 September 2007 to 18 March 2008.
The case study for me is very important and I take sometimes definitive decision through it!
The first thing : How much posts we have in the blog.
I found 155 posts in the blog.
Now let’s move on.
I get 6,341 visits in the whole and with an overall of 1.18 pages/visit.
So the blog made 7482 page impression.
Now we have two thing to study for this blog : where visitors come from and traffic sources.
Traffic Sources :
Google (Organic) provided 69.92 % of the total traffic. we can say 70%!
The next one is digg with 205 visitors and only 3.32 %.
The a1vbcode.com (as I sent some code snippets) provided the blog with 186 visits.
Then groups.google.com with 158. The Bar code maker site referred 71 visitor (a good part).
Jack book hardly get the 10 position with 43 visits.
Blogtoplist is saved as it succeeded to get the position 9. ooof!
The final decision :
The blog will be completely changed. We’ll concentrate on Google and Digg.
The 155 will be almost deleted and only traffic attractor posts will survive.
The JackBook give new experience. A wide search of 15 sites like Jackbook will take place in the next days.
Think 15 * 43 will give 654 visitor (more than digg do!).
91.83 % of visitors are new, this need a case study!!! Visitors don’t return.
The statics given by Google Analytics
