More About AdSense Resurrected
Never has there been such discussion on this blog as the comments I’ve seen in regards to AdSense Resurrected. I’ve been really busy over the last week and a bit buying a new car (when the mechanic calls you up and says your existing car needs work that’s worth more than the value of the car, it’s time to change!) and then traveling to New Brunswick for a short holiday (a 2 day trip that took 3 days thanks to a snowstorm….
Merry Christmas 2007
My family and I would like to wish all of you a very merry Christmas. Below is the family picture we sent out this year. As you can see, Dino — one of the stars of the pet fence guide — is still alive and kicking, although at 16 years old he doesn’t have much longer to go. Everyone else is doing fine — the new puppy isn’t really a puppy anymore, either!
Scrolling AdSense Ads
People search for the oddest things. I have a little window into what people search for and I’m always fascinated by what people search for. How else would I learn that RedTube (that’s a safe link, but visit RedTube.com at your own risk!) is the YouTube of porn, or that there are a lot of Indians looking for rail travel?
AdSense Resurrected: Interview With Zeila Rich
As promised, here’s the interview I did with Zeila Rich, one of the two masterminds behind AdSense Resurrected.
Q: We understand you’re using pseudonyms for privacy, but can you tell us a bit about yourselves?

It’s a multi-tier program and you get a $10 bonus for signing up, plus you get bonuses for referring new affiliates.
Me, Myself and I: 3 Ways To Title Your Posts
So I’ve decided to dust off CluelessAbout.com, and I thought it would be a perfect way to demonstrate the “Me, Myself and I” title optimization technique. Although I’ll be discussing it in the context of a WordPress blog, the technique can be used on any site, not just blogs.
Post Teaser WordPress Excerpt Plugin
In my previous post I forgot to mention that I really like the Post Teaser WordPress plugin that I found when I went looking for a new way to create post excerpts. The standard WordPress excerpt feature doesn’t work very well for me because it strips out the formatting and tends to clump paragraphs together, making for ugly-looking excerpts. Post Teaser, on the other hand, does a great job and is also easily customizable.
Free Keyword Lists
Every once in a while I put together a list of keywords and publish it here. I’ve had requests for more of this, but I don’t want to transform this blog into a big set of keyword lists, so I’ve created a separate site for those kinds of posts. If keyword data interests you, feel free to visit Free Keyword Lists. You can subscribe to the RSS feed to get notifications — I’ll also be adding the ability to get notifications by email.
Google Cracks Down on Link Buying
Although I’m not normally a simple parrot, I think all of you should take the time to read these two posts by Google’s Matt Cutts:
Getting Your News Into Google (Again)
In Getting Your News Into Google I showed the basic steps involved in getting your news (via an RSS feed) into the Google search engine. I forgot to mention another way to do it, however, and that’s to use Google’s blogsearch ping feature. It’s something they added a few months ago — until that point they relied on pings from third-party ping aggregators. Now you can ping Google directly whenever you have new content.
