    Raven, I believe the common consent is to use wordpress and host it on you own domian.

    I have a link that outlines the needed changes to the files for seo purposes and also recommended plugins. One of the plugins is for using adsense. The changes are pretty straight forward. The outline even goes into some detail how to categorize your blog for targeting specific keywords.

    I'll dig up the url and post it later on. I don't have the info where I am at now.

    sounds like you are new to blogging, wordpress can be a bit intense for a beginner. I currently use both Blogger.com and my own wordpress site, but I'd recommend for you to start at a free blog site such as blogger.com and there is alot of sites that can help you with placement. Blogger even has a built in "Adsense" tool within itself that will do it for you.

    Raven, here are those links. I even believe I got some of them from threads on this forum:

    http://www.jimwestergren.com/seo-for-wordpress-blogs/
    http://armyofblogs.com/super-charge-your-wordpress-blog

    Andrea I would have agreed with you up until a week or two ago. During that time I had a bunch of blogger sites deleted. Some were my own fault, some I have no idea. That meant over a years worth of work on some of the blogs.

    I think any learning curve can be quickly overcome with the help of others on this forum.

    your CTR on a brand new blog is already making you happy? So your friends are clicking your ads for you or something?
