 Site Sponsor :

Welcome to LM-BLOG, we are once again back and posting as of August 8th 2011.

I have managed to let this site really fall away over the past year and know I have lost most, if not all of my regular readers. So I must try my hardest to build this back up to its previous highs when the site got up to an Alexa rank of around 45,000.

 

There is only one part of the site left to relaunch and this is  the logo. I plan to do this when I have some extra spare time so that I can make it look at its best. For now it is not a priority to have a “pretty logo” but more important to give users great posts .

Adsense is back

Posted by on Aug 6, 2011 in advertising, General, Internet, money | 0 comments

Well I have decided it is time to re-introduce Adsense to my blog in the hope of monetizing the site a little. To both help finance the site and also too give me some extra cash.

What is Adsense ?

Google AdSense is an ad serving application run by Google Inc. Website owners can enroll in this program to enable text, image, and video advertisements on their websites. These advertisements are administered, sorted, and maintained by Google, and they can generate revenue on either a per-click or per-impression basis. Google beta tested a cost-per-action service, but discontinued it in October 2008 in favor of a DoubleClick offering (also owned by Google). In Q1 2011, Google earned US$2.34 billion ($9.36 billion annualized), or 28% of total revenue, through AdSense.

I am going to experement a few different placements, within the layout. Firstly looking at the footer of the page, then moving onto the sidebar (placed roughly where the Adgitize ads are) then I am planning to work the Google Adsense ads into the posts to see how this works.

Relaunch August Update 1

Posted by on Aug 2, 2011 in General | 0 comments

Well we are now into August and the relaunch has been hit by a small snag. It is nothing that will hold us back but more of something that I find an inconvenience. Entrecard have rejected the site from bing part of their network.

Reason : “Spam Blog”

They have said the LM-BLOG is a “spam blog” something which I do not understand. A site that has been open for nearly 3 years and during that time has posted many great articles and had at our peak hundreds of daily visitors (many of whom visited regularly).
I have contacted them to see what they say about this deletion quoting posts from the past and just generally looking for a good reason from them.  My biggest tool against being called a “spam blog” however is this post. IF this was a spam site I would not be able to write this post.
