Nicely done.

Notice that you left out the explorerdestroyer script.

P.S. BTW, just curious - What the ctr for the Firefox Referral?

FF pays $1 per "sale". It has to be a new user installing for the first time. How the determine that, I have no clue.

Thanks everyone!

I like the layout. Not too sure what the site is about, though?
Yeah, I was noticing that this afternoon. If someone just glanced at it and didn't bother to read it, then I can definitely see where they may get confused.

It's was just a site for newbie webmasters trying to integrate it with PayPal, but I'm going to expand it some and include SEO basics (nothing too advanced, I want to still aim for the newbies), other web design stuff, etc.

I would have to agree. I just glanced and was not sure what it was about either.

I like it, definite improvement.

Are you using Joomla Modules to integrate your ads, or are you just adding them in?

Joomlas modules. The banner is from a banners module that comes with the initial install. The adsense is a module called mod_HTML. It lets you add HTML or Javascript to your site, and position it with the available locations listed in your CSS file from a dropdown list.

The only thing that I'm not real happy with is Joomla's lack or, or difficult to find documentation. Luckily, its fairly intuitive, so I haven't had too many problems figuring things out.

I think I'll edit the main banner to make the theme more identifiable at a glance.

Thanks for all the help! Keep it coming! You guys (and gals) are great! :bowdown:

Here is another cool extension

It lets you blend Adsense ads into your site, so they're not as noticeable, and supposedly conforms to Adsense TOS.

I'll check that one out. I'm using this module currently - link.
It was a bit of a pain in the ass at first, but it's alright now. It has some clicksafe crap, so you can ban certain IP's from clicking your ads. I'm going to check out that mod_HTML module you posted also. Thanks for those.

Did you rip the image you used in the banner, did someone else or is there a logical explanation because you didn't create it?

Not entirely sure what you're asking, but "No" the image is not mine. It's the header image that came with the skin and I really liked it, so I modified it for my own usage.

I'm assuming you're referring to the "scaled" look of the left side. I'm not the best in the world with image modifications, so I did what I could by cutting a slice out and replicating it. Then putting my stuff over the top.

Is that what you meant? Or did I misunderstand your question?
 
I was wondering where that came from as it was made from a wallpaper of a very talented artist. I wonder if the person that made the skin is the one that made the wallpaper or is someone that used it without permission. If the guy that made the wallpaper made the skin I'd like to see more of them.

Okay, I get 'ya now. You know, I'm not sure who made the original image or skin. I got it from HERE

List of Free Template Sites for Joomla

The one I am using is called Mambo Hardblue.

Let me know where you saw the original image. I'd like to see where it came from.

Thanks!
