you mean have the adsense text links be the same color of blue or gray as the site?

what's wrong with the banner on the left? that seems like a lot of adsense to be, and i kind of wanted to add some more random affiliate links...

need some help on these..

Well everyone says to use prosper202, but you need a dedicated server for that, which is like $175/month, how do noobs afford that? i'm just going to go with tracking202 and google analytics, i just haven't set it up yet.

You can start with a shared account, but if you start driving decent volume you will want to upgrade to a VPS. Dedicated later.

When you need to upgrade, the cost will be justified by the revenue. Use that as a general guide, but monitor ad serving performance to know when to make the leap.

SEO: May want to include some meta tags.

doing this now..

should i use different tags in the code for each folder, or just the main page?

 

[Jake1125]

You should/could SEO every page differently.

Yes at least make sure you dont just paste the same meta tags in to each page.

You need to create a table with invisible borders. One one side of the table paste adsense ads and other site add contents.

i don't understand. my adsense ads don't currently have borders. what kind of table do you mean?

The text in your unordered lists is the same color as your links; this is a bad idea because people will try to click the text and not go anywhere. Then they will get pissed off and go somewhere else.

Either make them link to something or change the color to match the rest of the text.
