Are you an Adsense publisher?  Are you having success with your placement of ads.  Here is a webinar by Google on Adsense Optimization.  It is interesting to find out that their study showed that an ad size of 336×280 has brought a significant amount of revenue for the publisher.  I believe this has something to do with the way we read.  We typically read from left to right, and browse from top left.  So the concentration of reads shows that the top left area as the most clicked area and the middle part right below the fold from the header as a good target area.

I will be trying on this technique on another website and I’ll see if there are any good results.  Hopefully good and phenomenal.  

One way to create exposure on the internet is to create backlinks.  There are several strategies of website linking but the simplest one is one-way linking.  I found a webmaster that offers one-way linking for Free!  Yup!  The magic word – free.  Anyway, check what they have to offer and you may get a free linking for your website and start that exposure going! 

For Medical Billers working on the new format of medical claim forms, Medi-CAL (California Medicaid Program) has released a tutorial on how to use the current forms properly.  The tutorial is based on 4 parts and is available here – Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4. 

Came across this feed from PCWorld via MSN regarding free security programs that you can use for your home.  Anything free is good but it is hard to assess for most users which program does a good job aside from being free.  This article shows a list of programs and you can decide which one you could take.  Read the whole article here.

Sony announced today that it is going to slashed the price of PlayStation 3 by $100.  Unlike its predecessor, Sony Corp could not get a momentum going with its sales of PS3.

The announcement coincides with the E3 Summit at Santa Monica, California.  With this version of Playstation, Sony decided to provide a high definition DVD player which brought the cost of the unit considerably higher.

I think it just makes perfect sense right now.  Microsoft mentioned that it has set aside $1 Billion to extend the warranty on the XBox 360s 3-RedLight-Syndrome defect.  This should give them a little push. 

Let’s see what Nintendo will come up this time.

People around the world are going crazy about this phenomena today.  A lot of people planned their weddings for today.  I hope they are not thinking of having 7 babies.  Casinos are catching on with it.  As some people say, gambling is a numbers game.  Lucky Seven. 

Maybe I’ll try to buy a lottery ticket today.  7 14 21 28 35 49.  Hey!  We’ll find out tomorrow.

Did you experience this?  Armed with a popcorn or pizza, you turned on the XBox console only to see that dreaded light.  Three flashing red lights!  Aaaargh!  But in a write up today in Los Angeles Times, Microsoft stated that it had set aside more than $1 Billion to handle this nuisance. 

What this means?

1.  Microsoft knew that they made a ‘boo boo’ on the hardware design.
2.  The number of consoles that are affected are significant enough to make them extend the warranty.

To their credit, it takes a lot of pride to ’recognize’ that there is something wrong with the consoles and allow consumers to get their consoles fixed.  Setting aside $1 Billion is no joke, and I give them credit for making things better for their customer.  And they are known to get back the sympathy of their customers.

So I think I won’t see a lot of broken Xbox on sale at ebay for now.  Shucks!  If you get the 3 Red Light Syndrome, call Xbox Warranty Program at (800) 4-My-XBox.

It used to be just Blue Screen of Death, now 3 Red Lights!

For the most part, Wordpress headers are background images.  So what do you do if you want the background to be clickable?  Thanks to Adam Freetly of archgfx.net, he show how to handle this situation with Custom Headers in CSS.  He shows the trick as well as the explanation.

I was just browsing around and came across a game script site.  AVScripts.Net is offering a free download of their script.  However, if you want to remove any branding of AVScripts on your website, there is a cost.  I think it’s fair enough.
