WordPress Sort Category Posts By Title
May 23rd
I have written a plugin for those who have been asking for a quick way to sort posts in category view alphabetically by title, rather than the usual chronological order.
This is important if your readers don’t care when things were posted.
This plugin was designed for WordPress 2.0.2.
Download it here: sort_category_posts_by_title.zip
To install, simply extract to /wp-content/themes/plugins and Activate from inside the WordPress Plugins panel.
Banners vs Contextual Ads
May 4th
This is something I’ve been trying to say for a long time now.
From Aaron Wall’s SEO Book:
Banners vs Contextual Ads:
Many web surfers have become banner blind and ignore the top part of a page. Banners have horrible conversion rates.
I do not usually use the default banner size unless I feel it fits well with the site design. The best revenue options are usually link rentals or context-based text ads.
Good advertising does not look like advertising.
One site that I work with sells links for over $500 a month per link and only made about $30 a month off AdSense. Other times AdSense can make far greater profits. Depending on the market, it may be best to use one or the other or a combination of both.
This is especially true for me because I use Firefox with the AdBlock
extension and Filterset.G extension installed. I haven’t seen a banner
ad in almost a year.
