Fifa 11 Tips And Tricks - Part 2





Be patient
One of the most important this is to be patient. It’s not that ping-pong game from last year anymore. So don’t use don’t sprint button all the time. This offers your much more time to look for any teammember and wait till the moment you have .
Don’t use press all the time
Do not run forward all the time with your player when defending . The same applies to overusing the second press button. When you do this your team will press but they will eventually run out of position. Try to read your opponent’s game, stay organized and close the possible gaps
Know your players
For example, defensive players turn and pass much slower than forwards en midfielders like Xavi. Don’t take unnecessary risk in defence by trying to fool your opponent with skills. Keep it simple!
Short goalkicks are dangerous
Do not pass to your defender from a goalkick. Works maybe 9 out of 10 but when it doesn’t work you’re pretty sure you opponent will score a goal. So use a ‘safe’ long goalkick heading towards your forwards.
Vary your gameplay!
There are a lot people who are very predictable. For example, they wait till you press and then use a high trough ball on their fast forwards. Be less predictable and vary with your build-up.
Crosses
This year crosses are important because heading is much eachier than last year and it’s very difficult to defend. So use them!
Standard formation: 4-1-2-1-2 (1)
Strong Defence. CDM makes sure that there’s a good connection between defense and midfield. This is a plus for defending as well as in possessio. The danger in this lies in the fact that you almost automatically play through the center and your attack stops and ends at the eightteen yard box. However, by using a good custom tactic and the right team (f.e. chelsea) it works like a charm.
Default Formation: 4-3-3
Solid defence. Good formation for possession and works very well as you always have options to pass to the wings. The danger in this formation lies in the fact that your game is predictable because you use the wings a lot and try make crosses. In addition, there is a lot of space between attackers which makes it difficult to make short (one-two) passes through the center
Custom Formation: 4-1-2-3 (TIP!)
This formation has been tested by several FIFA11TIPS.com crewmembers and they were all very positive. This formation is almost the same as the standard 4-1-2-1-2. However, you have to move the CAM to the CF position which results in good combinations between CF, LS and RS. You keep your strong solid defence with your CDM but have much more room for making combinations through the center as well using the flanks and make crosses. This makes your game less predictable.
Example: When you play with AC Milan we suggest these positions:
LS: Pato
RS: Robinho
CF: Ibrahimovic
LM: Ronaldinho
RM: Pirlo

Fifa 11 Tips And Tricks - Part 1



DO NOT ALWAYS USE THE SPRINT BUTTON
This is one of the most important things in FIFA 11. Most people are already aware of this but you still see many people constantly pressing the sprint button in midfield. Use the sprint button only when you have enough room. Without sprint you are much more agile and you can pass more accurate.
SET ANALOG SPRINT
Set your sprint-button in controller options to analog instead of digital. This allows you to accelerate but you will keep your dribbling maneuverability (depending on how far you press the sprint button).
STAY ‘RELAXED’ IN DEFENCE
Use low pressure and stay calm in defence. Avoid using too much ‘second press’. Practice in exhibition games to switch players with the right stick instead of the “switch-button”. Use the right stick in the direction of the player you want to control. For example, this allows you to use the ‘second press’ button to defend your opponent. Now you have the possibility to defend and to give also cover with your selected player.
AVOID EXCESSIVE USE OF THROUGH BALLS
As soccerlegend Johan Cruyff once said: “As long as your team got the ball the opponent can not score.” Possession is King! Therefore do not use continuous those risky ‘through balls’ or blind rushing to your opponents goal. So play with care.
PRACTICE FREE KICKS IN FIFA 11
As in FIFA 10 free kicks in FIFA 11 are very important. So practice. And practice. Check our Freekick Tutorials section for how to perform as a free kick specialist.
EXPERIMENT WITH FORMATIONS
The perfect formation does not exist. Each formation has its advantages and disadvantages. It also depends on your available players, opponents and your own playing style. Therefore, test various formations. Most used formations are 4-4-2, 4-2-3-1, 4-1-2-1-2 and 4-3-3.
SWITCH IN GAME TO OTHER FORMATIONS
When your team is put under a lot of pressure and you play for instance 4-1-2-1-2, try to switch to 4-3-3. This allows you to play more on the wings which makes it easier to keep possession.

How to Earn Money Through Google Adsense



Determine a goal for what you want to earn using AdSense. Of course, you want to earn a lot, but make sure it's realistic.

Consider that to earn $1 a day per page, you need, per page…
  • visitors, 5% click-through rate (CTR) and average 5c payout.
  • Or 200 visitors, 10% CTR and an average 5c payout.
  • Or 100 visitors, 10% CTR, and an average 10c payout.
  • Or 100 visitors, 5% CTR, and an average 20c payout

  1. Consider whether these goals will be possible given your site. While an average 5c payout is likely attainable, 5-10% CTR is often seemed unrealistic in most websites. In the days when Google adsense shows up everywhere, users seem lesser eagar in clicking them. 0.5% CTR is fairly common, 3% is ideal , 5% is bordering on unrealistic goals. Try to create more sites, each attracting some traffic.
  2. Be realistic: Forget about the fantasy story you read on internet about earning big money from Google. If you think of making a website and getting to be instant rich, it is likely to disappoint you. Imagine that if you build a small website with 100,000 page views per month with 0.5% CTR and 5c average payout, you will only get US$25 (100,000 x 0.5% x 0.5c). To achieve 100,000 page views a month, you possibly need 500-1000 users. By theory, your website can reach more than billions of internet users in the whole world, but there are also 100 millions of websites competing for users.
  3. Start building keyword-rich pages containing well researched, profitable keywords, and get lots of high quality links to your site. For example, if your site is about topics such as debt consolidation, web hosting or asbestos-related cancer, you’ll earn much more per click than if it’s about free things. On the other hand, if you concentrate only on top-paying keywords, you’ll face an awful lot of tough competition. What you want are keywords that are high in demand and low in supply, So do some careful keyword research before you build your pages



    • Quality is the most important part of any web site. If your site does not contain the content of expected quality the visitor might not come back,
    • A great resource for earning money is using traffic driving sites like Flixya[1]. You can sign up for Google Adsense and Flixya, without the costs or time needed to build traffic or your own site.
    • Avoid non-English characters on English pages. There is a bug which can cause these pages to show irrelevant French ads.
    • Although Google doesn't release exact details as to how they determine the ads to serve on a given page, they do say that it's the text content of the page that matters, not the meta tags.
    .
    • If you don't have any content, Google will have to guess what your page is about. It may guess wrong, and so the ads that it displays may not be relevant.
    • Do not click your ads. If Google catches you, they will suspend your account and retain any earnings you might have. However, if you, by mistakes, click your ads for one or two times, Google will keep that earning but rather not to punish you as long as it doesn't happen constantly.
    • In early internet days, you may see a site notice asking everyone to click the ads. The day has gone long time ago. If Google detects possible cheating, there is no such thing as presumption of innocence. They assume that you are guilty.
    • Google has a lot of restrictions on how the ads have to be displayed. One of the major reasons for account suspension is that webmasters tried to blur the ads and mislead others to think that it's "content". For simplicity, never attempt to use CSS to hide Google's logo unless you're authorized to do it.
