Increasing RSS subscribers is one of many goals a blogger would try to achieve. Even though RSS subscriber may not visit your website, but you are sure that any post you made through your website, it is heard by at least the number of RSS subscribers you had.

I am in the learning process of adding my RSS subscribers as well. You may have noticed that I have this block of code right above my post asking visitor to subscribe to my RSS. It is very similar with the plugin What Would Seth Godin Do which leaves a cookie to track new and old visitor. But this is permanent.

It is pretty simple to install this. Copy and paste rss.php into your current theme folder. Paste the following code where you need to display the message.

<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/rss.php’); ?>

This could be useful for an announcements, promoting a contest, asking for rss subscribers, advertisements and any other things you could think of.

It is added into your template folder so that you are able to edit/change the text easily though your blog.

Most people would say try to include as many Adsense block as possible to fill up their page, that is my first thought. But I was wrong, I had better earning after removing a blocks which earns me at least 30% of the site Adsense income. I have seen website which are filled with Adsense, that I am gone after getting what I need from that website.

Here is an example I have found with one Malaysia website. This is actually operated by a company and they have a few website that uses this same format right after their website banner. I would not suggest that, it may work out well for them, but I will not return to use the site.

What should you do?
Firstly, there is no right and wrong method implementing adsense. Therefore, the best way is trial and error. Try the following:-

• Change Adsense Block Size
• Change Adsense Block Colour
• Change Adsense Block location
• Add & Remove Adsense Block
• Try both Add Unit and Link Unit

Sacrifice some income to test around and you may actually find some ways maximize your adsense earnings.

After a week of PageRank updates,  it seems that there will not be any update for me this round. PR3 for another 3 months. I guess I had a little change for my internal pages. Check your internal pages pagerank, you may just have some motivation.  Overall, I am doing a little commenting to increase my page ranking and getting some traffic from them as well.

I am also trying to increase my rss reader. If you subscribe to my feed via email, I am awarding 2 winners with 500ec Entrecard Credit.  Just remember to leave me a comment on that post.

You should notice that there is some movement in Pagerank this few days. I hope that you guys are getting some ups on your pagerank in this update.

Some of you may not see any pagerank in the main page, just like me, still at PR3. But you may get some updates on your Internal Pages / Sub Pages. Because pages are link to the front page, you will usually get a lower pagerank, but from time to time, more and more sub pages will be getting PR.

SEOJunkie has created this simple little tool which will help you ease your job to find pagerank in your internal page.
