Text Link Ads Strangeness

So, on Thursday I got an e-mail telling me that I was accepted into Text Link Ads for Ultimate Redskins. I had thought they rejected me a couple weeks ago...but I was like, "Whatever." I logged on and downloaded the Wordpress widget they provide for you. After installing it, they sent me an e-mail that said they had just spotted the widget and I would have the ads running in 48 hours. That was the good [+]

Adsense Injection Plugin

I've been looking for a plug-in that goes inside your posts for a while now and I've finally found it: Adsense Injection. And the best part is, it always places the ad into random parts of your post. So if you click onto your post, it's never at the same place twice. I had tried several of the plug-ins that said they do this but I was never happy with any of them. This one [+]

Denied: Chitika

I was in Vegas when I got the e-mail. Totally stinks. Apparently they don't accept new sites. So, for the next couple months I'm just going to concentrate on my sites and try and get some traffic flow to them. Here's what they wrote: "Based on past experience we found that our eMiniMalls program works best with (but not limited to) websites that have: - significant traffic, preferably more than 10,000 impressions per month - rich in content that relates to [+]

Adding: Chitika

Yesterday, I signed up for Chitika. You have to fill out this form, tell them what site you want to put on their program and submit it. It takes two business days to get approved or denied. I told them I wanted to put it on UltimateRedskins but since it's only like a week old, I doubt they will let me be a publisher. But...it's worth a shot! Also, I still havent seen Adbrite pop up on [+]

Adding: Adbrite

So I signed up for Adbrite today. I'm not sure how I'm going to like it. The dashboard isn't as informative as Adsense and the way you actually make the ads isn't as good as Adsense. I'll look into it more when later. I added it to CatPuppy and I plan to just use it as an under image banner on individual posts - not on the front page of the site. I found a plug-in called Google [+]

UltimateRedskins.com

Last night I finished my 2nd site, UltimateRedskins.com. Well, it's not totally finished but at least I can put the name out there. I had a lot of trouble with the theme I decided on. I really like the look but the code was awful. This was the one where the creator encoded the footer file so no one could remove their name. I understand why they did it but it stinks on my end. Once [+]

Why is it so hard to find a theme?

Do you have this problem also? I seem to spend so much time trying to find a theme. I go to all the Wordpress theme sites, troll through them thinking that I'll find that elusive theme that will make my site look incredible.  I upload it to my server only to find I that I can't adjust it to my needs. I'm still relatively new to css/code so, if I can't find something within an hour, I give up. Once, [+]
