AuctionAds is another new way for bloggers to make a little more money on the side. AuctionAds consist of eBay auction ads on keywords chosen by the blogger or publisher. Although the service was launched today and there is little information on how much one could earn, AuctionAds promises to pass on almost all of the revenue to the publisher of the ad. I thought of this service as an automated eBay affiliate program that pays almost as much as that program but has less hassle. TechCrunch has a quick rundown of the business details on AuctionAds and since AdSense does terribly on this blog, I figured I would try them out. You can see the ads on the sidebar. Another interesting fact from their FAQ is that you may run these ads alongside Google AdSense and they do have an affiliate program. If you are trying them out, I […]

You can install WordPress in various different languages and it is very easy to setup these translations. You can find more information on translating WordPress into your own language on the WordPress Codex. The Codex also has a lot of information on existing translated versions of WordPress and the .mo language files. They are very simple to use. You just copy the .mo file to the wp-includes/languages folder and change/add the following line to add the filename of your language translation file define (‘WPLANG’, ”); to define (‘WPLANG’, ‘es_ES’); if your language filename is es_ES.mo I suggest making this change before you install WordPress. This is all well and good, but this post is more about dispelling some of the myth and confusion surrounding .mo files. .mo files are not human readable by their nature and cannot be edited directly. You would need to install a version of poedit on […]

[Continue Reading...]Today we are talking about the actual code of the page. We will be touching on two points. Header Tags Meta Tags Header Tags First, lets give a little background to what are tags and why they are important. Think about it when you’re ready a book or a magazine. When you see a small excerpt, your eyes will almost always glance there first to see what it’s saying. Maybe in a newspaper there is a head line title that really catches your eye and draws in your interest. This is exactly what Header Tags (H tags) are meant for. When a search engine bot is looking at your page, it looks for the H tags (<H1>, <H2>, <H3>, <H4>, etc, up to H6) to find out what exactly is important about that page. So what can you do to emphasize these tags on your pages? I use some PHP […]
