Shifting ads units around

Posted by The Mayor of Bloggintown on February 25th, 2008

If you haven’t noticed, I changed some of the ad placements on this site – more so on UltimateRedskins.

I tried to change them around on CatPuppy but I’m not quite sure what I’m going to do with that site adwise. I’ll address that in a later post.

I found some great info on ad placements and decided to move things around. I havent been making a lot of money from my sites (I’m cool with that, it’s just frustrating hearing about the amount of money I could be making if you have the proper placements) so doing this was a no brainer. Google has a nice page about where the best placements are. Problogger has one also.

Adding: Widgetbucks

Posted by The Mayor of Bloggintown on February 13th, 2008

I got accepted to WidgetBucks the other day.

Originally, I submitted for UltimateRedskins and then just this morning put the code on this site (as you can see on the sidebar). It’s a lot easier to set-up than Adsense and doesnt conflict contextually either.

I like the look of these ads and they claim to have as high a rate as Adsense. I’ll see about that and report it back here when I get some hits on it.

I also replaced Amazon Ads. I might put them back up but not as big… maybe a single item?

Adsense Injection Plugin

Posted by The Mayor of Bloggintown on January 25th, 2008

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 is great and you should definitely give it a try.

The one thing I’m not happy with is that the ad butts up right next to your text. Sometimes it makes it hard to read. I’m trying to find the code so that I can modify it. Anyone have any suggestions?

Regardless, you should definitely give this a try. I love it and I’m going to put it on all my sites.

Adding: Adbrite

Posted by The Mayor of Bloggintown on January 18th, 2008

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 Adsense Under Image. We’ll see how it works because adbrite takes 24 hours for it to activate.

UltimateRedskins.com

Posted by The Mayor of Bloggintown on January 16th, 2008

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 I removed it removed parts of the css so I had no choice to restore the footer. (more…)

The beginning….

Posted by Lance on January 13th, 2008

Since this is my first post, I’ll start at the beginning of this whole sha-bang.

I’m an actor. I’ve been in some tv shows, movies and commercials. Stuff you’ve probably seen or heard of. I was going along doing auditions, taking classes and going to casting director workshops.

Then, on November 6th, the writers strike happened. (more…)
