It’s a known fact among many AdSense publishers that blending AdSense Ads increases CTR (Click Through Rate). Here is a good example of a blended Half Banner (234×60) AdSense Ad that I found on FreewareFiles.com.

Carol has started a new game called “The 5 Questions Interview” for Bloggers and she tagged me.

Have you ever wanted to execute PHP codes inside a post? If yes, you need to install PHP Exec which is a plugin for WordPress that lets you execute dynamic PHP code in posts.
It masks PHP code before balanceTags, and unmask them afterwards, so it should be safe to use PHP code that has literal HTML tags in it, for example: code which print out HTML.
Installation is pretty simple. Download the plugin, put it into your wp-content/plugins directory and activate it. And when you need to execute PHP codes, enclose the code with <phpcode> … </phpcode>
These days I have been noticing an increasing number of bloggers playing the Blog Tagging game. And yesterday Sreejith tagged me to share 5 things that people don’t know about me. So here goes…
- I like Astronomy: I was interested on Astronomy even during my childhood days. Nowadays I visit Stumble Video to watch interesting videos on it.
- I love Gaming: Whenever I am bored, I spend time playing games on my PC and Playstation. Some of my favorite games are GTA San Andreas, Need for Speed Most Wanted, The Sims and The Age of Empires. I wish to buy Xbox 360 soon
- I like watching WWE: I am a WWE fan, but my interest on it has decreased these days.
- Stamp Collection: When I was a kid, I had a hobby of collecting stamps and coins (most of which I don’t have at present).
- I love comments (I guess my regular readers already know this)
I am tagging Listikal, Christer Edwards, Enblogopedia, Connected Internet and Sourcer.
Many publishers place images near their AdSense Ads to increase CTR (click through rate). Some believe that placing a visible line separating Ads and the image should be fine, while others argue that this method could get publishers banned.
The AdSense team has finally made it clear about their policy on images near Ads. Google asks publishers not to line up images and Ads in a way that suggests a relationship between the images and the Ads. You are not allowed to do it even if you put a line between the image and the Ad.
I have wondered many times on how hard it will be to get my blog to be one of the Top 100 Favorited Blogs in Technorati.
My curiosity increased when I saw a porn site on the 16th position of the Top 100 Favorited Blogs. So I thought if they can get that far, why can’t I?

A few hours back when I visited Digg, I found it to be showing a message that it was undergoing a redesign and will be adding some new features. Just now I visited Digg again and saw it’s new design.
Digg is launching several new features this morning that signal a strategic shift in the company’s all news focus to date. They’ve added a podcasting content area, enhanced the video area and are signaling that new content areas are coming as well. Among the changes, users will now be able to consume audio and video content directly on Digg. Another key feature addition is the launch of “Top 10 Stories,” which is a quick view of the ten hottest stories on Digg at any given time.
