Orble News - March 2007

Homepage Post Summary

March 28th 2007 04:46

A new homepage post summary format has been created which will suit blogs which have an image in just about every post.

You can see an example on the Fashion blog.

To select this format, click on the Settings link for your blog, scroll down to Post Summary, and choose the Tile option.

There is only one format available at the moment, however suggestions for other homepage post summary formats are welcome.

Jon.

Increase your AdSense earnings

March 21st 2007 03:25

Here in the Orble labs, after months of intensive research

, we have developed a blog layout which increases your earnings from AdSense by anything from 20% to 100%. The average improvement is around 75%.

Basically it removes the ad banner from across the top of the blog and places the ads within the text of each post. This format won't be for everyone, however most popular blogs and news sites now use a similar layout.

To choose this format click on the Modify link for your blog, scroll down to Choose a Format for your Blog and choose the Ads in Text option.

Ads will then be automatically placed within the text of each post, usually between two paragraphs.

If you want to manually select where the ads should be shown put the tag ADVERT (with square brackets around it) in the text of your post at the point where you would like the ads to appear.

At the moment if the post is long enough, up to two ads can be placed in each post. For best performance place the first ad a few paragraphs from the top, and the second post about 4 or 5 paragraphs further down. Directly underneath pictures also seems to work well.

As always post any questions below.

Jon.

Nice work FilmPeeker

100,000 Hits

March 12th 2007 02:49

We made it over the 100,000 hits mark yesterday, which is even more amazing considering it was a Sunday when traffic is usually down.

Blogs now have to attract nearly 500 readers a day just to get into the top 20

Google Update

March 7th 2007 00:49

It looks like Google has been doing a major update over the last few days. This could result in the traffic for some blogs going up or down from day to day. Things should settle back down after a week or two.
