Though there already are 6 guides for this achievement, I still wanted to tell you the way I did it, which I found the easiest and earliest possible in the game. I did it on my 2nd playtrough on 1999 mode so really, you should have no trouble getting it this way.

Just after you get your magnetic shield, you enter the bar/church or whatever it is, the place with all the crows. The first room has a staircase in the middle, and on the left and right are 2 big rooms with on the left a bar and on the right tables with lots of fruit. It's impossible to miss.

After you clear this room you go up the stairs, and immediatly up ahead you see the "church"-room where the Crow is standing, speaking to the pilgrims (I think they are pilgrims but that doesn't matter), they're standing there with 5 of them right next to eachother and 1 extra on each side. If you just enter that room, don't jump down, just stand there from up top and cast a Devils Kiss (fire spell) trap right in between the 5. You should get 7 kills with it with no problem :) Then press start and reload last checkpoint, and do this 4 more times

I only had to do this 3 times because when I got those 7 kills, it counted as 2/5 in 1 trap and the 2nd trap counted as 4/5. Maybe cause the description says 3 enemies but you kill more than the double (7) so it counts as 2? It did for me, this is the quickest and easiest way to get it I think. Good luck!

Also, if you don't have the salts to cast Devils Kiss, as you see them standing from up top, take a left and look to the right, you'll see a trunk with a bottle of salts :)

How To Write For AdSense – Viewer Retention

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

How do I construct an AdSense page? How do I write the article? How do I place the ads? How do I increase my AdSense earnings?!?!

Well, there is a lot to it. More than what I can cover in a single post but fear not, we will cover all of it in time.

When you are writing or requesting content with the idea of monetizing it with AdSense, there are a few tricks that you should do in order to improve your earnings. In this article, we will go over some of those tricks. We are going to focus on the article itself and not the placement, type or size of the ads. Don’t get me wrong, that is very important as well, but we don’t want to overlook how to structure the content.

First, we will talk about viewer retention (visitor retention/reader retention ect…).

You should want the readers to remain somewhat engaged in your content. You don’t want to answer all of their questions, otherwise they will not have any reason to click on the ads, but you don’t want them to take one look and leave either.

There are a few things you can do to grab the readers attention, at least for a few seconds, and that is the goal. If the content is poor, if it is structured poorly or the site looks crappy, they will be gone in a second. There is just too much information on the internet for them to waste their time on an uninspiring site.

Small Paragraphs

First, you should to split your article into small paragraphs. 2-4 sentences is perfect. I did this throughout this article to show you. You don’t have to have 15 subheadings in your article, you can simply split larger paragraphs into several smaller ones. This makes the content very easy to read and digest.

The reader is more likely to read a 3 sentience paragraph over a full page block of text or a 12 sentience paragraph. If they see a large block of text, they are more likely to loose interest and leave. Once they read that small 3 sentience portion of the article, they will be more likely to read the rest. This keeps them on your page longer and increases the chance that they click on an ad. =More Money!

And don’t forget the line breaks!
This is not good
>
But this is

H# Tags
You will also want to grab their attention as quickly as you can. Make the title big. Make the headings stand out. Keep them focused and to the point. You can even use different font colors if it works (Beware: This could come off as tacky). Don’t give the reader a chance to leave the page without them knowing the title and sub topics of the article.

Images
Use images to make your page more attractive. Insert relevant but interesting images that will encourage the visitor to give it a second look. It is also be a good idea to place the images close by to your sub headers. Within a half second, the reader should notice images and headings that intrigue.

Video
Many people prefer watching videos over reading content. The video doesn’t have to explain the entire article, but just it’s presence can get them to stay and have an impact on you earnings.

“This page sucks! Too many words!”…”Wait, let’s see what this video is before I do”…”This video sucks too! arg!”

The video can suck, it just has to be there. Even though our angry reader left angry, the video still got him to stay on our page 10, 20, 30 seconds longer. That is a win for us. Again, the longer they stay, the more clicks are made.

You may also want to consider setting the video to auto play. I wouldn’t recommend that across the board since auto play videos can get quite annoying, but you can experiment with it on and off. sometimes it works well, other times it doesn’t.

Length of the Article
Keep the article around 400-600 words. Long enough so that you can get across some relevant information and have enough space for your AdSense and AdSense manipulation (a future article), but not too long. Any longer and it will turn the reader off in the same way giant blocks of text do.

If you have 1,000+ words to deal with, I would suggest that you write a second introduction/conclusion and break it up into two 600 word articles. If you can help it though, keep your articles compact (a little shorter than this one).

That is how you write an AdSense article. There are other factors to keep in mind like verbiage and placement, which you can look forward to learning about in the near future.

Everything you buy in the game counts, Vigor upgrades, weapon upgrades, ammo, salt, health, ect. You don't have to grind this one out if you go around collecting money, and cracking every safe.

My advice is, hack every vendor machine you can and try to get all the safes in the game. There is usually the most amount of money in the safes. Also make sure to buy any keys you see, its usually an investment, since you don't need to accumulate 10000, buying the keys just goes towards the achievement.

If you do want to do some farming, the video is by IGN and is a way to farm money and lock-picks. This will take a while if you choose to do this method, but you eventually would get there. I recommend not doing the lock-picks and just grab the money, go back in hall, get salts, repeat.
Note: This is AFTER going through the Hall of Heroes, not before.
Also Note: There is easily over 10k money in the game, farming is not necessary if you want to explore and collect money.

According to NoHairCutIsland you can get this achievement as soon as you hit 1000$, just reload checkpoint and spend the 1000$ 10 times. If anyone else can confirm this please comment or send me a message.

This achievement does not stack through play-throughs according to Martel18.

Kishoreganj, Feb 25 (UNB) – At least 30 people, including several cops, were injured as the activists of 12 Islamic and like-minded parties clashed with police in the district town on Monday afternoon.

Witnesses said the Islamic party activists tried to bring out a procession from Shaheedi Mosque in Puran thana area in protest against the denigration of Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (SM) at about 5 pm.

However, police who earlier took position in front of the mosque intercepted the Islamic party activists.

Being resisted, they pelted the law enforcers with brickbats, triggering a clash.

Later, police fired 20 rounds of rubber bullets and 50 rounds of teargas shells to disperse the agitating people.

They also arrested 20 people from the spot.

Effective Backlinking Strategy for Young Sites

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

Google is constantly improving on their ability to detect and identify blackhat SEO techniques. After Google released their Panda and Penguin updates, sites that used blackhat techniques that worked in the past were penalized severely, some were even de-indexed. The Penguin and Panda updates were designed to target exact match domains, small niche sites, anchor text variation and spun content.

In order to create a successful campaign today, you will have to take additional precautions that you otherwise would have been able to get away with before. When creating a backlink campaign, your aim should be to show Google that your content is of high quality and your backlinking profile looks natural. In this article, we will go over a backlinking strategy that Google will love.

This strategy will require a large amount of unique, human written content. The plan is to manually create Web 2.0 sites and post on high PR blog networks. We will also be creating social signals and making a solid second tier of backlinks which will give your 1st tier links extra juice.

The first thing we will do is write or order the content. To start, get five 500-800 word articles and ten short descriptions.

You are going to use three of the articles to create three Web 2.0 blogs. The other two will be used on the high PR private blog network posts. Use the short descriptions to make ten high PR social bookmarks which point to your main site.

Repeat these steps several times until you have a large collection of Web 2.0 sites, high PR blog posts and high PR social bookmarks. As you create the blogs, add some unique flair to each one. Change the background, add some pictures, do anything that a normal person would do to mimic a natural blog.

You will want to add roughly 5 articles to each Web 2.0 blog over the course of a month. This means you will have to order additional articles which can get pricey so make sure you have the funds to fund this project  ($200-$400 budget). As you post each article, place a link to your site on them.

Send 30% of the backlinks to your homepage and point the rest towards your inner pages. Vary the anchor text as much as possible. Use your main keyword between 10%-20% of the time. Use long tail and LSI keywords between 40%-50% and random anchor text (here/click/this ect…) for the remainder of the backlinks.

Once you add your 5 articles throughout the month, continue to add at least 1 article per month to each Web 2.0 so that Google will see that it is an active site.

Through the first month, it is important that you only use original and unique content in the beginning of this strategy. Later on, you can incorporate highly spun content throughout your blogs but only if used sparingly. Try to post 3-4 unique articles per 1 spun article.

As you make your way through this strategy, you should also create social signals. Write more short descriptions and post them on other social bookmarking sites. You can spin these descriptions and use them for your second tier of backlinks later on.

You will also want to create more variety in your backlinking profile. Convert some of your content into PDFs and  submit them to document sharing sites. Create slideshow videos and submit them to video sharing sites. Create infographics and submit them to image sharing sites. Leave backlinks on all of these that point to your main site and its inner pages.

This next step is the simplest since it does not require any content. Add a variety of social signals to your main site. Create Facebook likes, Google+’s, tweets and retweets and Pintrest pins. Time them so that they coincide with the posting of your content to mimic a natural viral effect. When you make a new post on your main site, there should be a minor spike in social signals.

When you complete all of the above steps, you can send a second tier of backlinks to the first tier. Make forum posts, wikis, bookmaks and blog comments and point them to your Web 2.0's, videos, infographs, documents and high PR blog posts.

If you have a new site, you should complete this strategy in 2 months. If you have an older site, you can speed up the process to 2-3 weeks. The key is unique content and high quality backlinks. As long as you do that, Google will love your site and you will remain safe from the Panda and Penguin updates.
