First, thanks to everyone in this forum, you have posted very helpful advice! Since first reading this forum (around 1 month ago) I have increased my earnings, what I earned in a year I now earn in less then a month! Some things I have noticed: Blending seems to work better on lighter colour schemes while ads which stand out work better on darker backgrounds (for me at least) Having ads at the end of an article really does help Having a small ad which stands out near the top of each page does get quite a few clicks Although I don't receive many clicks from my forum, it keeps users coming back. If the pages are dynamic, mod_rewrite is essential! Ads on page-name.html seem to be targeted better then index.php?page=page-name If you do have a forum, it seems a bad idea to put it into a directory named forum or similar. Placing it into a directory called "forum" or "phpBB2" seems to result in web hosting ads. Since I have started adding at least one page or writing one article every, my traffic has and clicks have risen. More traffic = more money (a little obvious) Rotating colour schemes seem to give higher results but also changing the colour scheme every day is also effective (tested it out for two weeks, currently using the one built into adsense) I know this is pretty basic but it really helped me. Thanks again!
Can someone tell me what this is please is this usefull for a forum and indexing in search engines? Would it help the forum I have in my sig get indexed better?How do I install into that forum, phpbb? Thanks Daniel
If it's phpbb, they have a few mod_rewrite mods on their site, such as the "GoogleBB Link Enhancement 1.2.1" mod There is also a mod to remove session ids from url which apparently is a must for google (although it prevents you from having guest forums) Also, like I said before you have the possible advantage of properly targeted ads. BTW, the database for your forum appears to be down
How do i install this? So this converts all php into simple .htm or just removes session IDS? Do you have a link to an example? PS Do you know what might have happened the site was working fine an hour ago?
mod_rewrite manipulates the url, all of the pages on the server stays the same, it just the way apache parses them. (not too sure if i described that right) The remove sid mod removes session ids which are used for tracking guests, unfortunately, google indexes the forum pages with the sid which tends to change each visit. http://www.phpbb.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=152036&highlight=modrewrite is a big seo mod for phpbb Hope that helps
Thanks for sharing , not everyone does that here . I have some confusion about your last point. what thing you are using that built into adsense for changing color?(sorry ,I am newbie).
