If you run AdSense on your blog/website then you should have noticed that from around December last year Google began testing on scrolling Ad Units which allowed the visitor to see more Ads. Google has now officially launched this product to all text CPC Ads.
As you may have seen many websites/blogs have added the 125×125 advertising banners. They are becoming one of the most popular choices of advertising for blogs. ProTycoon.com is the latest blog to join the craze. As you may have noticed we have added 4 125x125px banners to our sidebar. I will talk you through the ads we have chosen and why you should also make the move to this popular format.
I have been playing around with AdSense for well over a year now, and have tested many formats and colours to try and increase my CTR and overall earnings. But I made my best breakthough ever last week when I stumbled across ‘AdsBlackList‘.
After reading ‘40 Effective Methods To Build Your Loyal Army of RSS Subscribers‘ over at Etienneteo.com. I decided to pick out the 8 that I believe to be the most effective, and bring them to your attention.
Etienneteo.com is a blog about making money online and if you have not done so already I would suggest that you take a look, there are some great posts.
These are the top 8 tips for increasing your RSS Subscriptions that I found on Etienneteo.com:
- Have a large RSS button near the top of your blog.
- Allow readers to subscribe via Email.
- Use Feedburner to reduce the number of steps your visitors need to take in order to subscribe to your feed.
- If you have more than 200 subscribers, show off your subscriber count.
- Write a guest post on a blog with an RSS subscriber count higher than your own.
- Start an RSS competition with a blog that has a subscriber count close to yours, then encourage your visitors to subscribe to help you win the competition.
- Use the Subscribe Me Plugin for WordPress, which lets you display a chicklet on your blog asking your visitors to subscribe to your post.
- Use the Subscribe Reminder Plugin, this plugin places a reminder underneath each post on your blog.
Let us know if you have tried any of these tips, and dont forget to check out the original post here:

I have now decided to remove the BlogRush widget from my site, I had the widget on my site for around a month, and as a follow up to my post ‘BlogRush: The Visitors Experience‘, where fellow bloggers have also said goodbye to the widget, I have followed suit.
I have had many people ask me about the best way to go about SEO on a WordPress blog/template. I could sit here and write a massive post which lists everything I believe that you need to do in order to SEO your WordPress blog, but that would make little sense, as posts such as those have been done many times over. Instead I am going to provide you with some of my favourite SEO for WordPress links.
I was sat looking at my website earlier today, thinking to myself what could I do to make it better, to improve the usability of my site, and I found myself looking at my BlogRush widget. I thought, does my website/blog gain from having it here?, what do my visitors think about it?, that is when it hit me that the only way to truly know what effect the BlogRush widget has on my visitors is to ask them.
If you run a wordpress blog and someone links to one of your posts, you will notice that you get something called a trackback. These are often embedded into the comments section of the post, this can be a bit annoying, this tutorial will teach you how to separate the comments and the trackbacks, to make it look a lot smarter.
If you run a blog then you will no doubt want to make it possible for your visitors to be able to contact you, to comment on your blog. I have just added this function to my site, and will talk you through how I went about it.
Yesterday I talked about the ‘End Of Google AdSense’, and today I bring you news of Google’s comeback, Google Ad Manager. Continue Reading ->
