Send Away Your Traffic 2008-04-10 23:02:00 Thats right, the Title said , Send Away Your Traffic.You are likely thinking to yourself politely right now (Or at least I hope politely lol) what in the world is this guy thinking? why would I or anyone want to send our traffic away?I was recently reading some forums and saw others debating on this technique. I then googled and found other articles and forums debating this practice as well. In short, send your traffic away via a link to related content on another bloggers site within your articles. Why? To increase your traffic! No I didnt trip on the way home from a walk or get in a car accident, and no I dont have a fever.The theory here is simple. If you blog about what other bloggers or "competitors" within your own niche are writing about and point your own readers to these other bl
You've Tried Pay Per Click, Now Try Pay Per Play! 2008-04-10 20:35:00 Everyone is familiar with pay per click types of advertising and many make astounding amounts of revenue based off their pay per clicks advertising. Google Adsense likely the best and most well known entry.

Adsense Adds Sliding/Scrolling Feature 2008-04-08 18:57:00 Many have noticed that Google's Adsense
Contextual ads for the last week have had an extra added feature. A scrolling, or clickable arrows section which let the reader manipulate the ads to show "extra" ads that would not have prior, been shown.This has been in the works for awhile and after 3 months of testing was given the green light to be the "norm". As of April 2nd, this new feature was officially announced and released in their blog.For those that are wondering, clicks on the ‘next’ and ‘previous’ buttons won’t generate earnings, but these buttons will help improve both advertiser value and your potential revenue.When users click on the buttons, they begin interacting with the ads and are more likely to find the specific offering they are looking for, which can be good new Read more:Sliding

How To Make Kontera Links Single-Underline 2008-04-08 01:33:00 Kontera Content Links are Double Underlined and are done in this fashion so that they can not be mistaken with normal hyperlinks. They were designed to stand out so that readers would know this was an advertisement.But some sites are now making these links single underlined links to make it more attractive for visitors to click and thus earn the publisher more money. I personally think this is a tad on the trickery side myself, but it is possible. As well search engines will follow these links as well. I'm not sure if that counts as a click.All that needs to be changed in your code isvar dc_single_line = 'yes';So although this may help you get more of your visitors to click on your Kontera links, you may also upset them. So do heed warning before implementing this on your own website and o
