Are you signed up for Adsense? Have you heard about blogging and WordPress? Then you are set to make great money the PASSIVE way…

WordPress and Adsense are perfect together – before them, you’d have a real chore making money. Advertisers wouldn’t want to advertise until you’re established, and you’d spend all your time updating and maintaining the site!

But put together, you can have an attractive, profitable site in minutes, and be advertising and making money the very first day…

…Try THAT with a ‘regular’ website!

The Secret to Making Adsense Work for You

Making your blog or website more interactive will make your visitors stay for longer periods. It will also increase your traffic. Here are some tips to make your website more interactive:

• Add graphic emoticons. You can also use animated images to represent certain ideas, etc. There are many free websites that offer emoticons and animated graphics. All you need is to download them and put them on your website or blog.
• Add images. Images will make your blog or website much more lively. You can download royalty images from www.sxc.hu for free and use them on your website.

Here are 5 simple tips to make your blogging more effective:

1. Use a good blogging platform. Don’t use blogging scripts that offer less number of features. Go for the ones that are more popular and have a huge following. If you have any problems with the blogging script, you can get more information online and solve the problem. I would recommend WordPress. WordPress is free, open source and there are hundreds and thousand of blogs running on WordPress.
2. Use a good theme and change it often. This will keep your blog ever young.

If you have a wordpress based blog and you are getting errors while trying to configure desktop blogging clients like Qumana, Zoundry, BlogDesk, etc. it means that your web hosting company has blocked access to xmlrpc.php. This file is used by desktop blogging clients to connect to your blog.

Here is a solution: Connect to your hosting account using an ftp client (like Cuteftp or FileZilla) and append the following code to the .htaccess file located in the root of the blog:

<Files xmlrpc.php>
SecFilterInheritance Off
</Files>

I am writing this post using Zoundry. In the past, I was a fan of Qumana. Now, I am considering to move to another client. There are many disadvantages associated with Qumana:

• Slow startup: It is based on Java and so it is very slow.
• Frequent crashes: Quamana is crashing very frequently. May be this is a bug or something.
• Double posts: This is a big problem. If you try to edit posts once they are published, you will get double posts. This is definitely a bug.
