I added AdSense ads inside the posts of two blogs that have not had a high click through rate. In a month or so I’ll come back to this post and let you all know if it makes a difference. Google AdSense limits you to 3 ads per page so you’ll have to knock off some of those other ads if you are going to do this.

1) Go to template -> Edit HTML -> check expand Widgets
2) Find the line: <p class=’post-footer-line post-footer-line-3′ />
3) Add <div id=’ads’></div> on the next line
4) Go to AdSense and create your ad text
5) Remove all > and replace them with >
6) Remove all < and replace them with <
7) Paste the new ad text between <div id=’ads’> ad text goes here </div>

Make it easy for people to add your blog to their rss feeds.

The rss feed for your blogger site is:
http://yourblogurl.com/rss.xml

The Google atom feed for your blogger site is:
http://yourblogurl.com/atom.xml

Test them by putting the url in your browser – you should see the xml feed or depending on your browser and settings an offer to add your feed to your current list of feeds.

If you are using wordpress your site feed is:
feed://http//yoursite.com/wordpress2/feed/

You can get copies of the standard feed icon here:
Feed icons

To make the link for your users:
<http://yourblogurl.com/rss.xml”><img src=”http://url_you_store_images.com/feed-icon-14×14.png”>&lt/a>

If you just want to add an ‘add to Google; button then Add to Google Button will write the code for the link and add the Google icon to your link for you.

These links can be added to a new ‘Link Widget’ in your blog Template.
