Adsense on RSS Feeds

Posted by Adi Wong On September - 5 - 2008

Previously I wrote about having adsense on your rss feeds. The process is simple, you just need to email adsense-support-aff@google.com with your Feedburner ID and your Google Adsense email account. I got my reply the next day.

Once you got your confirmation from Google, you should see an email with the following:-

Success! As you requested, we have migrated your FeedBurner account to
your requested Google account.

Proceed to Adsense Setup > Get Ads and click on “Adsense for Feeds”. You could set them up very quickly because the function is quite limited. You will choose from

  • Adtype : Image / Text Ads / Both
  • Frequency : Each Feed / Every 2nd Feed / Every 3rd Feed / Every 4th Feed
  • Post Length :  Feed appearing for post with longer than 50 words or higher
  • Position : Top of Bottom of Feeds
  • Color : I opt for Adsense Optimization feed ad color
  • Channel : Create a channel for tracking purposes
  • Add Feed : Choose the feeds you want to have adsense

You are all done. After migration this process simply takes 3 minutes to set them up. There is no copying and pasting of code.

Also you will notice that feeds are migrate to http://feedproxy.google.com/xxxx (xxxx replace with your feedburner address). Both http://feeds.feedburner.com/riceblogger and http://feedproxy.google.com/riceblogger is working fine with me.

WordPress 3 Column Theme – Kubrick

Posted by Adi Wong On September - 4 - 2008

This is an edit from the original 2 Column Kubrick and 3 Column Kubrick by Liewcf. I accidentally found this theme while trying to have tabber script onto WordPress Theme. Tabber is also the reason why I choosed this Forte Theme when I first saw it. For the same reason, Tabber makes the blog looks neat and at the same time navigation is fast and easy because it is pre-loaded. Decided to share this to see if people are interested in developing this default wordpress theme.

The next noticeable changes is the menu navigation. Although this theme is the most seen WordPress theme, but it is not that functionable because of the missing navigation menu.

All the changes that I have made to the Kubrick theme is as follows:-

  • 950px width (this allow a bigger writing space and a you could have an large rectangular at the top right of the post, like this blog)
  • Tabber Function
  • Navigation Menu
  • 125 x 125 Advertisements Slots (or it could be use for affiliate products)
  • Bigger leftsidebar of 170px to fit in Advertisement of upto 160px width. Rightsidebar 140px.
  • Added Small Feed Icon
  • Widgetized both Leftsidebar and Rightsidebar
  • Tags
  • Gravatar

I have tested this on the latest WordPress 2.6.1. Let me know if you have encounter some bug/error.

Hope you guys enjoy this theme.
