    Ad Channels: an Overview

    Google channels are a rich but complex topic. But it is worthwhile to get a basic grasp of this topic so that we can learn how to maximize our site's ad revenue.

    What are Channels?

    Very simply, channels help you to find out the performance of the ads running on your site(s). They help you discover which ads are doing well and which are not. Which ad format/placement/color is doing better? Which pages/groups of pages/sub-domains/domains are doing better?

    AdWords vs AdSense

    AdWords vs AdSense

    Google AdSense AdWords

    AdSense and AdWords are two of Google offerings that is most popular and relevant for business sites and people who would like either to advertise their products and services or to earn some money from their site(s).

    Google AdSense

    What is AdSense?

    AdSense is Google's free program that allows web publishers/owners to place relevant ads on their websites and earn money. It allows web publishers/owners to earn money whenever someone clicks on the Google ads displayed on their pages.

    Personally, I find AdSense quite easy to deploy but less easy to understand. That is because it is quite easy to get your HTML code for AdSense, plonk it onto your web page(s), and shortly after you will see the ads appear on your page(s).

    Private Content

    I wanted a (Drupal) space where I could have content that is not accessible to anyone but myself. I have been thinking about this for a while and have not been able to find a feature on Drupal itself that would do this for me.

    What does not work

    I tried creating a new content type:

    Administer > Content Management > Content types > Add content type[tab]
    and then via User Permissions, not allowing specific user types from accessing the new 'content type'.

    Squid Talk - The Squidoo Terminology

    Every locale that you visit on the netlands (i.e. the internet) seem to have their own terminology: Twitter with their tweet tweets and Squidoo with their lenses. They can indeed all speak English, but it must be part of the human psyche that feels the need to belong to some collective and one of the facets of membership is to develop a lingo specific to that region.

    Warning! Squidoo Lenses Eats Download Usage

    Let me start by saying I am a Squidoo fan. It may improve with time, but at the time of this writing (Sep/Oct 09), I have found that working/accessing Squidoo lenses (articles) can eat a lot of your (allowable) download allowance. I will tell you what first alerted me to this and why I think if you use Squidoo, you should at least be aware of some of these findings.

    Aggregator Module

    About the Aggregator Module

    Drupal's Aggregator module helps you get fresh content (RSS feeds) from other sites and places it, in summary form, on your site. It is pretty cool and powerful module if you want to get fresh automated content for your Drupal site.

    With this module, you can:
    * add, edit, and/or delete feeds (RSS content from another site)
    * decide how often those feeds are updated
    * group them into similar categories

    RSS Enable your Site

    RSS Enable (i.e. Syndicate) your Drupal site

    I said in "RSS Made Simple" to replace the word "syndicate" (or any variations of that root word) with "subscribe" (especially if you are an RSS user/reader and not a publisher) to get a quicker, better understanding of RSS. But here, you are in the role of a "publisher" - someone who has a Drupal site and would like visitors to subscribe to your site's contents via an RSS feed.

    RSS - Simply Easy

    what is RSS

    RSS is something that has befuddled me for a long while and I had successfully ignored it. Don't think me lazy just because I was successful in the attempt. Coz I did read it about it. Quite a few times. And each time, I became more determined to ignore it ... for as long as I could.
