Get Paid To Place Ads On Your Site

Have you known matched advertising? It was established on August 2007, become advertising agent between advertisers and publishers.

It's so fun and easy become a publisher. As a publisher, you are allowed to submit up to five pages of your site and if you have more than one site, you are also allowed to submit up to five sites you have. So in total, you have 5 x 5 = 25 pages. Macthed will pay you £3 per month for each page contain ad, thus 25 pages x £3 = £75 per month, plus one time signup bonus £5 in the first month. Isn't that fantastic?

Remember that, you will earn £75 as long as you placed the ads Matched provided, in full one month at 25 pages you've submit. So it's not based on CPC ads that require the visitor to click them. In conclusion, it has more stable income.

You may see the ads example at my previous post.

If you interested, you may join here. I will be appreciated and thankful if you willing to join using my referral code. Also if you know another opportunity like this one, feel free to share with me.

UPDATED: Matched has closed. See the announcement. Too bad such a good thing is closed...

FireFox + Google Chrome = Chromifox

I'm so impressed with chrome-style interface design that Google Chrome deliver. But, personally I don't like unstable application cluttered my system.
I found that Firefox has theme add-ons that inspired by the appearance of the Google Chrome web browser. Introducing Chromifox, a bright and soft blue theme for Firefox 3.

mozilla firefox add-ons theme google chrome

Try Chromifox

There are some tweaks you can do with Chromifox,
  • If you want to move the tab bar to the top of the window, like Google Chrome, you can try it at http://userstyles.org/styles/10470. It's still in experimental phase and not an official part of Chromifox.
  • To access the drop-down menu for the Back and Forward functions, simply right click the Back button or Forward button. For more customization, try http://userstyles.org/styles/10462
  • You can make even more modifications, like change text size in the location bar and search bar, etc. Try http://userstyles.org/styles/search/falconer

Make Your Ads More Relevant With The Content

Do you have blogs that contain multiple topics?

Blogs that contain multiple topics, like my blog, usually don't have relevant ads that match with your post. This could happens because adsense crawler difficult to determine what keyword your blog really targeted.

There are some ways to facilitate the crawler gaining your targeted keyword.
  1. Only show ads at individual post. By using this method, keywords harvested from a single post are more targeted and you can increase CTR rate.
  2. If you are not satisfied yet with the first method, you may use section targeting feature from google adsense. By using section targeting, you explicitly suggest to adsense crawler what keyword you're really targeting.


How to show ads only at individual post.
Anyone still using classic blogger template, can use conditional tags feature. I can't find any clue from blogger help about implement the feature in new layout blogger template, but it's still possible to do that by using simple tweak.
The basic idea with this method is detecting whether the current page showed is individual post or main page by read the URL.

For example, blog main page's URL should be
http://www.***.blogspot.com/

When you visit a post, the URL should be
http://www.***.blogspot.com/****/**/***.html

See the clue? Individual post should end by ".html".

Now, create a page element where you want to show the ads and add this script code.

<script type="e;text/javascript"e;>
var tURL = window.location.href;
var tLength = tURL.length;
var suffix = tURL.substring(tLength - 5);
if (suffix=="e;.html"e;)
document.write("e;Your adsense code here"e;);
</script>


How To Use Section targeting
Section targeting is feature from Google adsense to allows you to explicitly suggest sections of your content that you'd like to target with the ads.

To implement section targeting, you'll need to add a set of HTML comment tags to your code. These tags will mark the beginning and end of section you'd like to targeting the ads.

The tags format:
<!-- google_ad_section_start -->
Your important content here
<!-- google_ad_section_end -->


You may add this tags as many as you like in a single page.

Dealing With Auto Insurance

I've an experience about car insurance lately which related to what I will discuss in this post.

When my car insurance expired a month ago, I almost didn't renew it because I think I wouldn't need it at all. Fortunately, for some reason I did it, and then something was happen. My car's engine was suddenly turned off in the middle of the road.

I can't think anything else beside calling my insurance company. After a view hours, A car carrier was arrive. The mechanic told me, it was my car's timing belt broken. Fortunately, I didn't force the engine on, because it will damage the piston too.

The moral of my experience is, it's really important to buying an auto insurance although the engine part replacement is not covered by the insurance company. At least you may call them when you need them.

Auto insurance quote is different and vary between companies. Before buying an auto insurance, you need to compare and find out the value of one policy to another and what your auto insurance policy will cover since these insurance options are expensive. This is important to save maximum for your auto insurance.

An auto insurance policy is a package of several main types of mandatory and optional coverages, each with its own premium. There are additional coverages such as towing, flood damage, temporary replacement vehicles available for your auto insurance policy, they may save you money if you add them to your basic auto insurances policy. Sometimes they are already included in the basic coverage. Just remember that lowering your auto insurance coverage can save money, but, it also limits your coverage.

Auto insurance not only covers insured vehicle and insured party, but some times it covers third parties also.

There are several auto insurance company that provide the combined insurance policy. If you want to save more on your auto insurance then go for the combined insurance policy. Combined insurance means you may insure your car, house, health, life and other general property from same insurance company. This will minimizes your overall cost for both home insurance and auto insurance. Many auto insurance companies provide renewal discounts, take advantage from this renewal discount.

The Internet has created increasing competition between car insurance companies. It is easier than ever for consumers to shop for cheap insurance rates, to analyze coverage and compare premiums. When you apply car insurance online, it cut down the various charges and cost for the middleman. Buying auto insurance online saves lot of your money.
