A Publisher’s Guide to Contextual PPC Ad Optimization

I’ve just published my long worked-on article on optimizating Adsense, YPN, & similar ads. It is one of the longest articles I’ve ever written and easily the longest I’ve ever read on the topic. Read it, and if you like it please link to it or recommend it to others. A Publisher’s Guide to Contextual […]

When Will Ad Networks Learn?

One of the things that makes Adsense successful is that they do not include traffic requirements. One of the reasons Adsense has been such a boon to publishers is that it allows them to profit off of sites that are too small to get into other ad networks. Small sites are not necessarily bad, just […]

Who is Dev Tej Kohli ?

On multiple forums I’ve had a new user named “Dev Tej Kohli” register in the past week and post a very simple thread: Hi-this is Dev Tej Kohli I am new to this forum. Thnx for accepting my registration . In doing some research. I found that he has registered at tens of thousands of […]

Amazon Sense? Amazon Omakase?

When I was blogging for SitePoint I broke the news about “Amazon Sense” or rather Amazon wanting to compete with Adsense with a similar program, it got like a billion trackbacks and I really wish I had broke the news here instead. I had been contacted about joining a beta program for testing ads which […]

Update on the NOODP Meta Tag

As I first reported here MSN launched a new meta tag for webmasters who did not want ODP (DMOZ.org) directory data to overwrite their normal abstract in the search results. Yesterday Google announced they would now support this tag as well, for both DMOZ titles & descriptions. Forum Discussion

The rel=”nofollow” link attribute was released by search engines to allow webmasters to indicate links that the search engines should not trust. Basically if you didn’t want to get banned or penalized for false link schemes you were to […]

Forum Upgraded

Just a little announcement. The forum has officially been upgraded to VB 3.5.4. Also, I’m currently looking for a reliable PHP programmer if you are one or know one. One of the biggest headaches I have when outsourcing work is the slow pace of that work being completed. It doesn’t seem to matter about the […]

The PageRank Possibilities of an In-House Affiliate Program

If you run your own affiliate program there is an amazing potential you are missing out on. Tracking free affiliate URLs. This is not a new concept, one I remember first hearing in 2001. However it isn’t commonly discussed and so many of you might not have thought of this before. I used to give […]

Evolution of a Niche

In 2003 when I started this site I noticed a distinct lack of websites catering to website publishers. This was pre-Adsense, advertising rates were just starting to climb back up from their lows, and the industry wasn’t nearly as widely publicized as it is now. However things changed. Now you’re always seeing stores in the […]

To Publish New or to Update?

When you have an article based site you are more or less left with two options when it comes to covering certain topics. Do you write a new article, or do you update an old article? I run into this often on this site. As the publishing industry changes I often find a need to […]
