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.

Turn Internet Explorer into Google Chrome

As the battle between Google and Microsoft continues to wage, Google have once again pulled another trick out of the bag to undermine Microsoft. This time in the form of an add-on for Internet Explorer.

Users can download and install the plugin into their Internet Explorer installation which essentially hands over the rendering of the page to the WebKit engine underpinning Chrome.

It works on a similar principle to the widely-used IE Tab plug-in for Firefox, which uses Internet Explorer to render pages that are incompatible with the Mozilla browser.

The search giant claims this will lead to improved browser performance for IE users, thanks to a faster JavaScript engine, support for HTML 5 and better CSS handling.

Visitors who turn up to Chrome Frame-tagged sites in other browsers, such as Firefox or Safari, will continue to have the page rendered by the native browser.
