We are a small market template company that offers free and professional website templates created with Swish, Swishmax, Flash, CSS, XHTML and other web designer elements. Our marketing budget is basically zero. We have been using Google Adsemse ads since 2003, and have enjoy a nice run with this service.

We just want to share a few tips on how to help you make some money using the adsense program. We notice people posting how happy they are they they made a big $10.00 in a month and also reading post how some of the big guys make a hell of a lot more.

We are here to help bring into prospective a middle ground. If you can afford marketing and have millions of viewers than you need not read this, but if your a start up and looking to grab some dollars on the cheap here are few tips.

1) You will need traffic, it goes with out saying no traffic not growth for your blog or website. We have some fine resource for you to use for free on our Website and we love to use Self Promotion as well, it's free to use and a small donation will let use some of their special tools.

3) As for you blog or website, be sure your Google ads work with your web design theme. Too many people are to lazy to change the colors and the shape to work with their sites and this just creates a eye sore. People do not click if they have a pain in their eyes.

4) Keep content fresh and keep your blog, website filled with options so your keywords can bring you different ads for different pages. Running through a website and every page has the same ads will not help you gain clicks.

5) Do not click your own ads, or have others do it for you, it is a no no and could cause you to lose your account.

These are just a few ideas to get you started in a direction and getting the most out of Google Adsense.

Content! Content! Content!

2007-11-24T07:42:00.000-05:00

Spider Bots need to feed off the content of a web page. If you want good ranking on search engines you must include content on your web page!

What is Content
As with many websites developed today using Flash or Swish, content is normally within the fla and swi files. SE's are starting to read these, but it is still not the same as having content on your web page, html content.

First of all your content must be true to the theme of your web site and so should your tags. If your selling ladies shoes than your content should reflect that. Not automobile parts. Bots, get pissed off when you try to trick them and so do people doing a search for something.

Each and every page of your website should be created this way. Let say your main page will feature ladies shoes, you want to reflect that, and then your about page is concentrating on your company specifics, then that page's content and tags should do the same.

Remember to add content to every web page, but also remember to be true as to what you add.

A Few Places To Submit
Self Promotion
One of the best places on the internet for website promotion. If you do anything as far site promotion, do it here!

Web Postion Gold
Web Position 4 offers all of the tools necessary to improve your web site's search engine rankings and increase revenue. WebPosition 4 now includes a summary dashboard, trend graphs, essential off-site metrics (link popularity and search engine saturation reporting) and 200+ new search engines.

IE Outline Fix

2007-10-01T05:37:00.001-04:00

We wanted to pass on about Swish / Flash and your website, you may have noticed that on IE it just does not look the same anymore. You have to double click to activate the files. A few simple steps and there is no need to turn off your visitors anymore. Just follow the steps below and

So, the nice folks over at "Flash Release" develop an easy to use program to avoid the problems that IE had presented before the Swish Design community.

Flash Release is a FREE software designed to solve the new IE (Internet Explorer) activex restriction. This new security policy forces the user to activate any embedded flash document in the page with a click or by pressing the spacebar or the return key. You can read more about this feature at

They have developed a solution (based on the Adobe - Macromedia) recommendation that solves this issue on every page in your site with a few clicks. You can remove the grey frame and get back in bussiness in no time. Flash Release embeds the flash documents via Javascript, bypassing the IE security messures.
This strategy has been recommended by Adobe Macromedia

Flash Release will run trough all the documents in your site with one click, checking which of them have unprotected flash documents.
The next step is selecting among these files which ones should be processed. Last, click "process" and the program will make all the work for you. Voila!.
Flash Release automatically makes backup ".old" files for every edited document, so you can't loose a thing in the process.
Of course, if you add flashes to an "already protected" site, there's no problem, Flash Release will identify any new flashes, leaving the protected ones untouched.

Create a folder with the script in it and upload it to your server.
In the head of your web page create and embed js.file

Web Design Elements

2007-09-22T05:37:00.001-04:00

A Web Page, a web site, what a concept. It is amazing how a few lines of code can bring to the world your thoughts and design desires.
We all have our favorite programs in which we use to create our online doorways to our personality. Some people prefer the use of HTML, or XHTML, or CSS or Flash or a combination of these elements. I myself have been using Swish since 2000, and have long been breaking up the standard motion website from a 770 x 600 movie to a movie of broken down elements. I embed my files within a HTML frame so I could always have fresh content for the search engine spiders to feed off of. I may use a motion banner and a motion navigation layout, with a HTML body and footer, so the spiders have something to read. I also feel it gives a web page a more interesting look and creates a depth to the work being presented.
Design from the top of your page
I have notice many people use the HTML and Meta Tags that are offered in some of these programs. What you get is free advertising for the program and you leave out important information about your site. The site that you are designing.
So, this is what I mean by...

Design from the top of your page

First pick your
Doctype declaration

Then you'll need to work your meta tags
