Regarding the AdSense Updates...

If you haven’t yet got a Google AdSense account for your site, now may be time to do so. AdSense is becoming increasingly popular with small and middle-sized websites who wish to cash in on their site popularity. And with latest updates that have been made to AdSense service, there is now no excuse not to join.

If you didn’t already know AdSense is Google’s context targeted Ad delivery program. Basically Search Engine giant is giving you chance to display adverts that you may have seen to right of your search results on your own site. Whenever someone clicks through one of Ads you get an undisclosed, but worthwhile, portion of money subscribers to Google’s AdWords program are supplying Google to promote their site on paid listings. The script is easy to customize, simply adjusting settings in your Account settings and then pasting raw code into your site.

However I expect that most of people reading this article already have a good idea about what AdSense is and what it does. What you are really interested in is what Google has done to change its service, right? Well when I logged on to AdSense site a few days ago, first thing that popped up was a copy of new TOS (Terms of Service). I read through it, and clicked accept to agree with new terms and conditions. When I got into my account page I was greeted by two welcome sights: A new type of Ad box, and even better yet a new payment method.

The new ‘Ad Links’ box are not just typical textual Ads. Rather they give you site-targeted topics, which a visitor can click on to go to a list of related advertisements. What this means in real terms is that rather than four or five adverts on a page you can give your visitor access to maybe 50, all of which could earn you money. This is a very exciting development, and one that could potentially benefit everyone.

How to display RSS feeds on your website.

This article is intended as a guide for webmasters who want to display automatically updated content on their website in form of RSS feeds. In this article I will cover easiest method to implement using javascript for displaying RSS on websites to create additional dynamic content. This will allow you to display headlines from syndicated content around web on your website.

RSS to Javascript.

By far easiest method is to use client side javascript to parse and display headlines on your site. To achieve this all you need to do is cut and paste some HTML or javascript code into web page where you want RSS feed headlines to display.

To achieve this there are several sites that offer a free service that will allow you to select a few options to choose your feed source and display formatting parameters. You will then be presented with some javascript code that you can cut and paste into your website.

Now before I give you address of sites that offer this service freely there are a few points I need to clarify with you. Although you will achieve your goal of displaying dynamic content on your site in a few short minutes there are some downsides to this method.

Javascript is not search engine friendly.

As you may or may not already know, javascript is not visible to search engine spiders. They will not see RSS feed you have parsed into your site and so this will not benefit you if you are doing this to better your search engine rankings.
