A fresh, new look for AdSense ads 2007-04-07 04:00:39 Adsense announce today that they have given their AdSense Ads a fresh
new look. After extensive testing and research, AdSense found that the new formats are not only visually appealing to users, but they also perform even better for publishers and advertisers. They are in the process of rolling out this change to all ad units, and you should see that your ad units are automatically updated over the next few days. After checking out the screenshot, I find the new look visually appealing and less like an advertisement, especially with the ‘Ads by Google’ placed at the bottom.

Getting Top Money for your Domain Names 2007-04-06 09:43:51 Would you like to be that lucky person who sells their domain for thousands or even a million dollars? It IS possible to find quality domains and resell them for huge amounts of money. Now that the Internet Boom is behind us, valuable names expire everyday. The best way to find these domains is to use services on the Internet such GoDaddy and Sedo.
So what makes a “good” domain name? Usually short, single word domains and 2-3 letter .coms, .nets, and .orgs are the best. The more specific the better. These can be hard to come by but when you find them, you can almost guarantee that you can make good money from them. Once you have purchased a nice domain name, get a good appraisal of the name to get an idea of the possible worth (see AppraisalBlast.com). In order to sell your newly appraised name, you have to find a buyer. Here are your basic options for selling your domain name in a nutshell:

Ping Update Services 2007-04-06 01:48:29 Update Services
are tools you can use to let other people know you’ve updated your blog. WordPress automatically notifies popular Update Services that you’ve updated your blog by sending a XML-RPC (http://www.xmlrpc.com/) ping each time you create or update a post. In turn, Update Services process the ping and updates their proprietary indices with your update. Now people browsing sites like Technorati or DayPop can find your most recent posts!
Most people use Ping-o-Matic (http://pingomatic.com/) which, with just one “ping” from you, will let many other services know that you’ve updated. As for why, Ping-O-Matic puts it best:

hMailServer: Open Source e-mail server for Microsoft Windows 2007-03-28 03:39:30 I’ve looked at some simple free/open-source SMTP/POP3 solutions for Windows
in the past. Among them was hMailServer, hMailServer is a free, open source, GPL-licensed e-mail server

Make Money Selling Text Links With AdBrite 2007-03-27 02:29:08
I’ve recently become impressed with the potential for making money from a website by selling Text Links with AdBrite. If you are aiming to become a full time blogger then any extra sources of income helps, so you may want to try selling text links yourself.
AdBrite is not a typical network like AdSense or YPN where it just serves ads that are targeted towards your site. AdBrite is a great incremental on top of programs like AdSense or YPN.
If you had someone who e-mailed you to buy an ad on your site for a specific amount of time, how would you respond? AdBrite is an automoated tool to help you set your price, eliminate negotiations, and provide full transparency to the advertiser and publisher.

Binary Fortress Software created this ISAPI filter for IIS specifically to provide URL Rewriting for WordPress, without having to install and configure a full URL rewriting software package. This ISAPI filter allows you to create Permalinks that don’t suck, and it lets you do it very easily, with almost no configuration required. I have been using WordPress URL Rewrite

How to install PHP 5.x on Windows Server 2003 with IIS 6 2007-03-26 04:51:29 I thought install
ing PHP would be as easy as just using the install program. Well it wasn’t… But by learning from my mistakes it can be almost that easy.
Notes
This is tested on PHP 5.2.1, IIS6 on Windows
Server 2003 SP2. This guide does not cover the initial setup of IIS, or general configuration of Windows Server
2003. It is assumed that you have already successfully installed and configured Windows Server 2003 and setup IIS 6.

Google Voice Local Search: 1-800-GOOG-411 2007-04-08 23:40:48 Google just launched a 411 service to make local-business search accessible over the phone and I think GOOG-411 is one of Google’s best services for me because I call 411 service and it’s cost me about $1.22. Google 411 doesn’t charge you a thing for the call or for connecting you to the business. Regular phone charges may apply, based on your telephone service provider.
Google VoiceLocalSearch
is still in its experimental stage. It may not be available at all times and may not work for all users. It’s currently only available in English, in the US, for US business listings.

SEO Title Tag 2.0 WordPress Plugins 2007-04-18 06:16:44 If you are WordPress user you might want to try this Plugin (SEOTitle
Tag 2.0 beta6) by Stephan Spencer.
Title tags are arguably the most important of the on-page factors for search engine optimization (”SEO”). It blows my mind how post titles are also used as title tags by WordPress, considering that post titles should be catchy, pithy, and short-and-sweet; whereas title tags should incorporate synonyms and alternate phrases to capture additional search visibility.
The SEO Title Tag plug-in allows you to override a page’s or a post’s title tag with a custom one you define, it reverses the order of the blog name and the title (giving more keyword prominence to the title instead of the blog name). Or you can drop the blog name altogether.
Download SEO Title Tag 2.0 beta6
If you are K2 Theme user just change what is within the (<title></title>) container in header.php to:
<title><?php if (function_exists(’seo_title_tag’)) { seo_title_tag(); } e Read more:Plugins
