Displaying Google Adsense in BlogsWritten by George Manty
Google® Adsense® can be a great tool for making money. Blogs are also becoming a great tool for making money. Many people know that most profitable position to place Google® Adsense® ads is inline with your article text. The dilemna many of us face is that Google® Adsense® Terms of Service only allow 3 ad blocks per page. The reason this is a problem for bloggers is that most blogs show more than three posts on main page or in archives section of site. When this is case you can't post an article Google® Adsense® in article.While setting up my wife and her friend's new site (www.naturalfamilynews.com), I came up with a trick using JavaScript to fix that problem. The code I wrote works perfectly in WordPress, but you should be able to adapt it to any blog that uses templates. Step 1. In head section of template (between <head> and </head> tags), you insert following JavaScript code: <script> var temp=0; </script> Step 2. Go to template used to display your post (in WordPress main template). Then insert following code inside display area for post: <script> if (temp>2) document.write("<div style='visibility:hidden;height=1px;font-size:0;display:none'>"); </script>
| | Should I Make My Own Web Site?Written by Fred Ost
With growing popularity and automation of wyswig (what you see is what you get) web site design software titles, a growing number of small business and individuals are creating their own web sites. Should you make your own web site? One school of thought is that you can save yourself some cash by making your own web site, and saving some cash is always a good thing. The other school of thought is that in order to make a top quality product equal to what you provide your customers with on a daily basis you are going to have to invest some money in some quality software. You would need to purchase a web site design program like Macromedia's Dreamweaver and if you plan on embellishing your web site with some of your digital photography you will need some photo editing software like Adobe Photoshop or Macromedia's Fireworks. Even if you take fantastic pictures you will still need to optimize them for fast loading in your customers web browser. An unedited five megapixel photo takes up about a 19x19 inch screen and if you put two of those puppies on a web page and your customer does not have broadband internet access they will be nodding off before your page is viewable. And that equals bye bye visitor.
