I have been playing with blogspot lately, and I have read many articles saying that the best place and format for an Adsense ad is to use a 300×250 ad right below the post title on each post.

Say, if you want a 300×250 Adsense ad on your left hand side with your blog text wrapping around it, first you get your Adsense code from your Adsense account, and then convert your Adsense code to html code, i.e. something blogspot can understand. Here is a great online tool at http://www.eblogtemplates.com/blogger-ad-code-converter/.

When you have the code ready, sign in to your blogspot account, click “layout”, click “edit html”, check “expand widget templates”, scroll all the way down, somewhere in the middle, you will find "<data:post.body>", right above that, paste the following:

<div style=’float:left; margin-right:10px;’>

.. add your converted code here…

</div>

Now you have a 300×250 ad right below your blogspot post title with your blog text around it, if you want it to appear on the right hand side, use the following:

<div style=’float:right; margin-left:10px;’>

.. add your converted code here…

</div>

The basic idea is that you add a ranking module to your website or blog, and let your visitors vote on a certain category or topic. That vote could be about favourite videos, artists, online games, photos, music, and etc. Your visitors will be given the option to buy more votes to vote for their favourites. So when they buy votes, you, the blog owner will make money.

Any setup cost? How to get paid? Signup is free. Minimum payout is $50. Payment could be made by bank transfer or PayPal.

Initially, I’m a bit confused how it works. After signing up the system, I remain confused. What is “buy codes”? “codes” = “votes”? Can people really make money out of this? Would you vote for something knowing that others can buy votes?

Interesting eh? Just wonder if it is practical? It seems a bit troublesome to carry all those device, sensor and stuff.

Developers at Microsoft Research and Carnegie Mellon University are working together to create an armband that projects an interface directly on to your skin.

They have combined a mini projector which creates a changing display with a sophisticated sensor that can tell which part of your arm is being tapped.

Lead researcher Chris Harrison from Carnegie Mellon University told the Mail Online: ‘The project is going very well and I think you’ll begin to see such interfaces emerge within the next five years.’

If you have a travel related website or blog, you might want to join this affiliate program – Agoda Partners. First of all, Agoda is part of Priceline, so that sounds reliable. Secondly, the highest possible commission percentage is a good 60%! Actually, there is a formula for the commission calculation:

Number of Departures Affiliate Commission Percentage
1 – 49 35%
50 – 99 37.5%
100 – 199 45%
200 – 999 55%
1000+ 60%

Commission Paid = (Client Invoice – Hotel Invoice – (Client Invoice * Processing Percentage*)) * Affiliate Commission Percentage

*Processing Percentage = 2.6%

Minimum payout is US$200, and payments are made by direct bank transfer.
