The New Interface of CypherHackz.Net

cypherhackznewlook

Hey guys! What do you think with the new look of CypherHackz.Net? I start coding the template on 4th December and because of this site use graphic as the background, so it takes time to finish it up. At first I want to use this theme on this coming 19th December as a birthday gift for the domain. It will become one year old. but I can’t wait ya know. Lol…

This theme name is CypherFS Royale. I chose Royale as the name because the idea of this design is from my XP theme which is Royale.

But the problem is the html file is too big. About 60kb per page. Do you know how to reduce it? The best html file should be below 20kb.

This theme should valid XHTML and CSS but because I use the feedburner chicklet and some other scripts make it not valid anymore. Duh…

Btw does this site load slow? [tags]site, theme, wordpress[/tags]

Display AdSense in certain Posts in WordPress

James emailed me on how I display my adsense in certain posts. As you can see on my homepage, there is an adsense above the content in my first post. And after the first post, there is another post that has adsense but without content. To do it, you just need to put a counter. We create the counter by using PHP.

First we need to declare the variables that we want to use.

$postnum – This variable use for count how many posts in the loop
$showads# – This variable is use the adsense that we want to display.

Note: Replace the # with number, eg: 1, 2, etc.

Ok here is the trick. Put this PHP code before the loop.

<?php$postnum = 1; //Define the initial value$showads1 = 1; //This mean it will be display in post #1$showads3 = 3; //This mean it will be display in post #3?>

Got my first AdSense Check

Ha3. Know what? I got my first AdSense check today. Kinda happy. About one year (that link was posted in Malay) I’m waiting to get this check. Lol… How lame… My blog will be one year old this coming 19th December and I guess this check is a gift from Google. :d

I took some pics of my adsense check but couldn’t transfer them to my comp because I didn’t bring my phone camera cable with me. Duh…

It is not really hard to make money from adsense. If your site has good traffics, you can earn the money easily. Btw my site is not really high in traffics. That’s why I waited about a year just want to hold this check. :)

Beside than AdSense, I had join other site monetizing such as Text Link Ads and AdBrite. Currently Text Link Ads is my primary online money incomes. :d[tags]adsense, check, cheque, money[/tags]

My Second Article got published in Ezine Articles

I submitted my entry about Tips on how to name your AdSense Channels to Ezine Articles last month and recently I got an email from them that the article I sent has successfully approved on their website.

I decided to submit the article because I think it is worth to share with others especially the adsense publishers on how they can name their adsense channels for better tracking in the reports. The format that I use to rename my channels is really easy. Here is the format that I use:

[site/theme]_[file]-[location]-[ads type]

Explanations for the format above has been explained in my post. For more details, read the entry here, Tips on how to name your AdSense Channels.

The first article that I submitted to Ezine Articles is about How to Advertise Your Blog. It is mainly focus about how you can use free services such as Ezine Articles to promote your blog. Read the entry here and start advertise and promote your blog. :)
