I’m going to make an exception to one of my rules for this website, and talk about a new plugin for AdSense that I haven’t yet tried myself. The reason I’m talking about it is that it looks like it might be a winner. And the reason I haven’t tried it is because I just found out about it this morning.
Petre Coman of GoScript.net has some wonderful scripts that do amazing things, and are also quite simple in concept. I have been using his Uniquefier Plugin for WordPress on several of my “feeder” blogs for some time, and it is a huge time-saver.
Petre’s scripts are all quite reasonable in cost, but this is more than reasonably-priced — it’s FREE !
It’s a WordPress plugin called EarnItUp, and it purports to increase AdSense earnings by 30%.
I’m installing EarnItUp right now. Since I haven’t used this form of advertising yet on this blog, I won’t be able to tell if my AdSense commissions are increasing or not. But since it’s free, and easy to install, I can’t pass it up! Can you afford not to try this new way to increase your AdSense revenue?
Go to Petre’s new website, EarnItUp.com right now, and download his new plugin for your blog.

One reason why blogs have become so popular in recent years is that search engines seem to like them a lot more than ordinary websites. They rank them more quickly, so blogs get noticed faster, and more people visit them.
Why is this? Because blogs have the ability to “ping”.
What is a ping? In simple terms, it’s a short message sent from one computer to another over the internet. The second computer then bounces back a message to the first computer acknowledging receipt. The is where the name came from — it’s similar to a radar ping originally used by submarines in World War II to locate other ships.
When you publish a new post on your blog, it automatically notifies various ping services — pinging them to tell them you have new stuff they should know about.
Why ping? The blog services can then add your blog to their directory or to their list of recently updated blogs. This gives you some backlinks ( very valuable! ). These links can be used not only by people, but get noticed by search engines and social networking sites as well — thus giving you even more backlinks!
WARNING: If your blog uses WordPress, it can easily get banned by many ping services.
Why? Because WordPress sends a ping every time you edit a post. So if you’re making a lot of changes, it will send lots of pings, and could cause you to be banned for ping spamming.
It’s possible that your blog could be banned, and you wouldn’t even be aware of it!
What can I do? Fortunately, there is an excellent WordPress plugin available from MaxBlogPress that solves this problem easily, with little effort and no cost.
The webpage for the Ping Optimizer has a more thorough explanation than I’ve given you here. It’s really simple to install — I use it myself on all my blogs.
So go to MaxBlogPress right now, and download the Ping Optimizer plugin.
