Listening to the Voice of the Audience

admin — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 20:33:58 +0000

I was just reading Patti Stafford’s post on Staying Motivated when you are not seeing results and I had to chuckle to myself because I’ve just recently changed things up big time on my own blog. For seven years I’ve written about myself and my life through my blog. I started doing a photograph a day in 2005 and would post the photo and write something about it or about my family. I began to wonder why I wasn’t getting many comments. I figured that I’ve been doing all the talking. So I stopped.

I didn’t stop posting my photo however. I continued to take my daily photo and instead of doing all the talking I just posted my photo to see how the conversation would go. Would the photo spark conversation? Would my lack of written post spark conversation, concern, anger, apathy. It has been an experiment going on for about a week now and I am enjoying the results.

What I’ve also been doing is getting more efficient. Ive been using PixelPipe to blast my daily photo to a ton of sites. This has helped me post so much faster and to so many different places quickly and easily. When I first did the blast I ended up spamming Twitter because I had so many separate sites automatically posting to Twitter. It has definitely been a learning curve to make sure that I am getting the information out there quickly but not overextending the amount of repeat information that is being posted. But I am enjoying the simplicity of PixelPipe, a sort of set it and forget it site.

Part of why I am changing things up is that I have been writing an ebook for content creation. The ebook is being made in conjunction for my speaking engagements at Modern Media Man and also Blog World Expo. My sessions are titled “Energize Your Blog with Surf-Stopping Images” (Modern Media Man) and “Content You Care About” (Blog World Expo). Having all this extra time by not writing daily posts has really freed me to get this ebook finished. And, after the conferences the ebook will be available for anyone through my blog. I’ll post a link to it here once I make that available to everyone.

Because of that newfound time and energy I’m thinking of actually doing a Silent September and all of my Photo-A-Day posts will be photos only and have no commentary at all from me. Maybe do a weekly recap of what was going on in our lives because there actually are people who are missing my daily recaps. So, I think this experiment is interesting because changing things up a bit actually gets me some better insight into my audience. So if you get a chance, change things up and give your audience their voice.

Google Ajax Search With Your Adsense Ads

admin — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 20:32:53 +0000

All of you might have seen the New Ajax Search Gadget on your Layout > Add Gadget Page. This Ajax search gadget doesn’t support adsense ads.But you can now have a Google ad supported Google Ajax search widget on your blog.The speciality of the Ajax Search is that it can search your blog, without actually leaving your blog.(no need to go to a new page.. it acts like an inline search)

The Ad supported Ajax search Code is available at Google Web Elements .You can see 3 options there.

Automatically Search My Site
Search my Site and use Adsense for Search
Use an existing Custom Search Engine

For showing adsense ads you have to opt for option 2 or 3 .If you choose to use the second option,then you will have to provide you Adsense publisher id(which looks like pub-xxxxxxxx).If you opt for the option 3, you will have to provide the Custom search ID, which will be present in your Google Custom search Code.[Code is generated inline when you enter any of these ids.]

After grabbing this code, just go to your Blogger > Layout page and add a new HTML/JavaScript Gadget and paste the Google Web Element Custom Search code there and save the gadget. The Gadget will look better if you drag it to above the Blog Posts Widget and save it.[that area has got enough space to display the ads ]

Here is a preview of what you should see.

Custom Search Control

Web

If you want to change the colours and styling of the search results, you will have to add additional CSS Classes.

Update: – Now Google CSE has added all these things. and much more(themes and other customization stuff) So it would be easier for you guys..
