         <title>YouTube Videos Pull In Real Money</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>I mean <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/11/business/media/11youtube.html?hp"><b>this is too cool</b></a> - there is so much crap on the web (yes, I said it) but here are a couple of real success stories - people making something that other people really want to see, and actually getting compensated for it:</p>

<blockquote>"Mr. Williams, who counts about 180,000 subscribers to his videos, said he was earning $17,000 to $20,000 a month via YouTube. Half of the profits come from YouTube’s advertisements, and the other half come from sponsorships and product placements within his videos, a model that he has borrowed from traditional media."</blockquote>

         <title>Brett Tabke's 26 Steps To 15k a Day</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>WebProNews has an <a href="http://www.webpronews.com/expertarticles/2008/11/13/pubcon-brett-tabkes-26-steps-to-15k-a-day"><b>article</b></a> up reviewing Brett Tabke's session on his infamous '26 Steps To 15k a Day' at Pubcon recently (which is actually titled <a href="http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum3/2010.htm"><b>Successful Site in 12 Months with Google Alone</b></a>).</p>

<p>I had my own personal disagreements with some of the points in the original post by Brett - but it was (and still is) a useful article. But the most interesting thing he said at Pubcon was this:</p>

<blockquote>"About Site design, Brett stated that the criteria was and still is that the simpler the better. The advent of the iPhone has further confirmed on the notion. It is imperative that now every website is designed keeping the compatibility with mobile devices in mind. One has to adapt all current designs to iPhones."</blockquote>

<p>I think  I have some work to do :)</p>]]></description>

         <title>Displaying Movable Type data in your static web pages: Part 1</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>I admit it - I am stuck on <a href="http://www.movabletype.com/"><b>Movable Type</b></a> 3. I know I should move up to 4.2 (especially now with the latest release and community tools available), but there are so many things I am not happy with yet about 4 (i.e. file management!), and I have finally got my ahead around 3 that 4 is still too out there for me. I use it for some things (<a href="http://finta.com/"><b>finta.com</b></a>, <a href="http://www.florence-on-line.com/"><b>florence-on-line.com</b></a>), but until I can get much more comfortable with the template system and a bunch of other things, 3 is for me (and my clients). Also - most of what I am learning in 3 will still apply as I move/migrate to 4 when I finally manage to make the leap.</p>

<p>That being said, I am constantly searching for and learning how to do things with 3 - and one of those sort of mundane seeming yet hard to grasp issues (for me anyway!) has finally been solved. Specifically - I was looking for a way to include data from MT into my static, non-MT, non-CMS web pages. Eventually all of this stuff will be in MT, but I needed something now that could give me the capability to put headlines from MT into a regular HTML file (and the solution will probably work for entries, etc.). </p>

<p>Previously I had used a pretty horrible solution of taking the MT feed, burning it with <a href="http://www.feedburner.com"><b>FeedBurner</b></a>, and then using BuzzBoost to embed the headlines into the home page of <a href="http://www.caribbean-on-line.com/"><b>Caribbean-On-Line</b></a> for the Travel Tips section. This had a whole set of issues involving styling the thing, having to include it with an iframe tag (don't ask!), and a lot of other assorted issues that arise from poor planning and cobbling together stuff on the fly.</p>

<p>So as I was searching around for how to burn a separate feed per MT Category with not much luck (which I was then going to use utilizing the system described above), I somehow, finally, had one of those light bulb goes off in your brain kind of moments - I could set up a new Archive Template, and a new Archive Mapping - the template would "publish" whatever it was that I was looking for from MT (in this case, just the last 5 entries for each category - the category name, and the entry titles linked to their respective posts), and then I could include those using SSI (Serve Side Includes) wherever I needed them in my flat HTML files. Now, maybe this is a no-brainer for some people, but I couldn't find anything on the web about it - so I decided to document the process and let all you other MT 3 users in on it. The nuts and bolts are coming in Part 2.</p>]]></description>

This is a company that has had a lot of success with their "mini-malls" and is now branching out and geting into more kinds of web advertising. Currently on our main site(s) we run a mix of Google AdSense ads, banners from Travel Ad Network, and now we are throwing some of this Chitika | Premium in to see how it performs. They describe this new program as:</p>

<blockquote>"A smart, personalized targeting ad solution that provides premium content. This ad unit is CPC and is designed to be your highest performing ad unit (eCPM)."</blockquote>]]></description>
