I liked very much your article on how to improve click thru on Google Ads in your article Double your AdSense PPC Click-Through Rate, but my problem is how do I integrate the Google ads in the middle of the article instead of the end? I suspect a code tweak of sorts is needed. On my blog I have the Google ads at the bottom, but perhaps they should be in the middle somewhere. I use WordPress and the Kubrick CSS template for my blog.
Dave, I read your HTML primer for bloggers, but I’m confused because on the sites I add comments, I have to use something called bbcode, not HTML. What is bbcode and how do I use it?
Dave, I’ve just started a weblog of my own and am finding that I need to learn a few HTML tags to make my entries as attractive as possible. I’d also like to learn how to link to other sites and other Weblogs, but really haven’t much of a clue other than that HTML has < and > around different letters. Can you give me a quick primer?
Dave, I notice that whenever you mention any products on Amazon, your links always go straight to the recommended product (rather than their annoying intermediate landing page where they try to sell you on other products) and neatly tuck your affiliate link in too. So, do tell, what’s your secret technique?
Dave, Help! My weblog is drowning in these seemingly nonsensical postings from people that have nothing to do with my discussion, yet don’t actually point to any sort of existing Web site or even a valid email address. On the assumption that they’re not doing it just to annoy me, why would they bother to spam my weblog with this kind of stuff?
My sister and I have been engaged in a dialog about the merits of weblogs versus traditional Web sites and it’s evolved into a quite interesting discussion. She asks: “I still don’t see how a blog would be better for me
than a web site. I don’t see why a person would want to come to my site
often to see what I’m up to.”
A pal of mine who is a prolific writer but not so much of a techie asked me the following question: “I’ve just heard that feedster added a feature where I can automatically ping them when I have new entries for my Weblog. I use Movable Type daily, but I’m darned if I know how to add a new ping host to my blog configuration. Help!”
A technical wizard pal of mine asks: “I have all sorts of challenge/response barriers to comment spam on my Movable Type weblog, but occasionally someone goes through the work of identifying themselves and still leaves some silly spam comment. I want to delete it, but right now I get the email notification of the new comment, then have to log in to the administrative interface, find the comment, and delete it by hand. Quite a hassle. Isn’t there a better solution to this?”
