I read this question in a comment and though I had an answer from my own personal preference, I think it would be really helpful for others to make this decision and consequently for theme developers to get a good feel for where and what they should concentrate on if there were some discussion on it. I personally prefer one column themes with a minimal second column. Most information that is put on my sidebar(s) is extraneous and could be placed elsewhere. I have also found that some of that information deters from the original content of the blog. The landing page concept is nice for search engine traffic where extra links and information on the content might help you draw in the user to explore some more. However, the face of the blog is cleaner and chock full of good stuff to read with lesser distractions. That being said, […]

Google Launches Pay-Per-Action This new beta launch of Pay Per Action Ads from Google and AdSense has really gotten the affiliate marketing industry in a tiff (though I must be over estimating the reaction). In simple terms, you can setup keywords to display ads from, make them look like ordinary AdSense ads and when your user clicks the ads and performs a certain action, you get a cut. I love Andy’s spin on the issue. Of course the blogosphere is abuzz with this news. I know that Darren signed up for the beta test and I would love to hear some real feedback. Is this really another spin?

WordPress Tips

This will be a three part series on link building for your blog. The first question we must ask is: Why do links coming to my site matter? The short version of it is that links pointing at your site do matter. For Google, those links mean PageRank. For Yahoo! and MSN, they mean value and search placement. PageRank is an extensive algorithm that calculates how your site (and pages) should be ranked in the search results. The higher PageRank you have, more often than not, the higher your site will be in the results. This is not always entirely true because of how the algorithm actually works, but that is the general idea behind it. But again, why do I care about this PageRank? You are reading this because you want to learn more about how to optimize your site for search engines. That is exactly the purpose of […]
