Display Adsense Ads only in post pages

Saturday, September 13th, 2008

Many of us have implemented the “Read More” hack to display a selective post summary on the mainpage of the blog. What if we want to display adsense ads only in the post page? It is well knows that this technique will bring about a higher CTR (click through rate) as long as the ads are targeted to your audience. Here is how you do it.

I assume that you have implemented the “Read More” hack.

Step 1: Find for the code

<b:if cond=’data:blog.pageType == &quot;item&quot;’>

Step 2: Convert your adsense codes using a HTML parser. You can find it here

Step 3: Once you have converted your codes using the HTML parser, you can add it right below the line of code shown on Step 1.

That’s all! Simple right? Now your Ads will only display within post pages and right in your posts.

SEO tip: Optimize your title in blogger

Saturday, September 13th, 2008

Today I will share a tip for customizing your blogger template for better SEO. If you are using a Blogger template, you might notice that when you load a page or post the web browser displays the Blog Name followed by the Post Title. For example, Bloggers ‘N Dollar: SEO tip: Optimize your title in blogger. There’s nothing wrong with this, but it would be better to optimize the header so that the browser will only display the post title like how it appears for my blog. In my case you will only see SEO tip: Optimize your title in blogger.

I will share with you how to go about this. It is a simple hack which you can implement in a few minutes.

Step 1: Firstly you need to go to Edit HTML on your layout page.

Step 2: Look for this piece of code

<title> <data:blog.pageTitle/> </ title>

Step 3: Replace the above code with

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;item&quot;'> <title> <data:blog.pageName/> | <data:blog.title/> </title> <b:else/> <title> <data:blog.pageTitle/> </title> </b:if>

What you have done here will change the title according to the post that is being displayed. Google will consider the post title as the title of your blog and you will have a better chance of being displayed higher during a search - SEO. So go ahead and try this!

Welcome to Bloggers ‘N Dollars

Thursday, August 21st, 2008

Hi all, welcome to Bloggers ‘N Dollars. I decided to create this blog for all aspiring bloggers out there. As you might know, there are so many blogs out there with tons of inspiring articles on creating, maintaining and monetizing your blog. My intention of creating this blog is to provide a one stop shop of these information as well as for other bloggers to interact and provide their thoughts on how they have fared in their blogging journey. Many of us in the blogosphere aspire to become full time bloggers either because of our passion or because we would like to make a living doing something we love. Its a dream which will eventually become reality. So chase that dream, and join hands with me. Good Luck!
