That’s a great tip Darren! I just did search through all my blogs for the word “prediction” .. well, didn’t find anything – but I plan to start being a bit more conscious about adding it in my posts… then, in FUTURE times of bloggers block – I can do a search later and it will give me something to chat about ..

As for the renaming of dates … in Bloglines (at least) it’s quite apparent when a new post is updated. The posting date remains the same so, you can’t tell what was updated. I like the entries that say “updated” or “added” or “PS” or something let us know that a change was made, even if cosmetic. But if you change the posting date .. I think regular readers are going to know if it was a previous post – if not from the content.. then from the comments that are still present, won’t they? or – would you delete them?

Thanks for all the tips Darren – I have been reading you for a few weeks now. Trying to come up with content is hard sometimes. What I do is check my server logs and see the search queries and build out a page or 20 that way based on those newly found topics.

Just wanted to jump in here and thank you for your great tips.

I started reading your feed about a week ago, and have implemented some of your ideas (and ideas from Performancing.com) on my blog.

My adsense earnings in the last 24 hours are three times higher than I had earned for the entire month of November prior to Saturday.

I went from $0.07 for the month, to a whopping $0.34, almost overnight!

(and no, my decimal places are not off, and no, I’m not joking) :(

But seriously, the tips are great, if I weren’t doing such a niche blog and weren’t so new, I’m sure it’d be better. And just re-organizing the ad layout and doing some keyword tuning did help, it actually netted me some clicks.

And if nothing else, you helped me make a better looking site and kept me from falling into some newb traps. That’s worth something, right there.
