So, now the Adsense for Feeds are finally out. It has been available within the Feedburner system before, but now you can set it all up in your adsense account.
As all of you know, Google have bought Feedburner some months back, and thats way this service is integrated in the Feedburner system.
The Options
On the setup page you got a couple options on how you want your ad to be. Here are all of them:
Ad type
Choose if you want to display text and image ads or just one of those types.
Frequency
This is a nice option. Here you can choose how often you should show an ad.
Post Length
How long should your post be to allow ads in it? This can be a good option if you don’t want to disply ads on short posts.
Position
You got two options on where you want to display the ad. On the top of the post, or on the bottom.
Colors
As an regular AdSense unit you can choose what color your ad should have. There is also an interesting option to let AdSense to optimize the color. I haven’t tried this myself, but if you have I would love to hear if it works!
Feeds
The last thing you have to choose is which feed this ad should appear in. If you have an Feedburner account you can migrate that account with your AdSense account. (Follow the link) If you don’t have an Feedburner account/feed you can make one with the link provided.
The migration process is for now manual and what you need to do is the following:
Send an mail to adsense-support-aff@google.com and provide the following information:
Your FeedBurner account username
The Google Account email address you use to sign in to AdSense
So - I guess big G have updated the Google Page Rank again. I actually saw this blog getting a PR2 in one tool I checked, but the different checking tools shows different numbers. What site do you use to check your Page Rank?
Don’t know why I still care about the PR, but I guess it has to be because I’m an stat’o'holic.
So, in about 45 minutes you can register .me domains. There are for certain several thousands domainers sitting ready to registrer all the best domains.
I can think for many different domains that would be cool to get.
Ex. date.me, thouch.me, fu*ck.me etc.
All these domains will be taken within seconds for sure, so I don’t even bother to try to get them. An the price aren’t cheap either. Godaddy are going to charge $20 per year and you have to buy 2 years at the time.
Do you know of a place to buy a .me domain for a cheaper price?
Today Wordpress 2.6 got releaseed. There are several new feauters, but here are some highlighted ones:
Post Revisions: Wiki-like tracking of edits
AS you know wordpress got autosave by now. But in 2.6 you can check who made what changes just like in wikipedia. Guess this will be usefull on blogs with many writers.
Theme Previews: See it before your audience does
Finally you can make changes to a theme before you make them public. Much like writing a post you can now prview a theme.
Here are some of the smaller features and improvements in 2.6:
Word count! Never guess how many words are in your post anymore.
Alright - just got a great tip for you guys. With this tip you will gain $350 $250 in your facebook account that you can spend on advertising. It took me literally 30 seconds. Just some simple copy/paste.

I can’t believe it’s almost two and a half month since I updated this blog. Time has just been flying away.
Anyway, I got some plans for this blog, but before i start writing again I will try to kick off a newsletter. So, all the coming updates will be sent out per email before they appear on this blog. If you are interested in what happening with me and VikingBlogger.com I urge you to sign up under
If you are signed up to the RSS you still need to sign up for the newsletter.
So, then it’s official. Google launched today their brand new advertising option. Google TV Ads. Long story short this will allows smaller budget advertisers to put their ads on TV.
How does it work?
Ok, the thing is, first, you’ll need a TV commercial. If you don’t have one yet, you do have the Ad Creation Marketplace, where you can connect with professionals who provide script writing, editing, production, and voice-over. This is a fairly costy thing, since it’s not cheap to make an commercial. AS I can see from the intro video the prices ranges from $800-$25.000. The rule “you get what you pay for” does of course count here. The good thing is thought, to celebrate their launch, for a limited time Google will cover the cost of creating your TV ad through our Ad Creation Marketplace, up to $2,000.
What does it cost?
You pay based on a CPM price. Basically it will work the same way as you used to, where you have to get the highest bid for your ad to show. So if there are some popular spots the CPM bid will be higher then on less popular spots. In the video the ads have a CPM of $2-$4. Which means you pay $2 or $4 per 1000 people viewing your ad. Not bad if it’s possible to get TV spots for that price. I contacted a TV station here in Norway and they charged around $40 CPM. Of course it’s probably possible to get that price down, but still.
So - it looks like big G have started updating the PR for the second time this year. As far as I can see VIkingBlogger.com haven’t got an PR yet, wich I find really strange, since we got tons of links pointing our direction.
JohnChow got his PR4 back from his old PR 3
Shoemoney got his powerfull PR6 back.
Anyway, how did it go for you?
(btw; Do you got some tips about nice sites to check the PR? )
The guy over at 45n5.com have yet again tried to figure out the ongoing price for make money blogs. From his calculation each subscriber you got is now worth $18.42.
So, to get the value of you blog you simply do as follows:
#Number of subscribers * $18.42 = The value of your blog
You might think this is too simple, and well, it is. But still, it’s an ok metode to figure out the value of make money blogs.
Where did he get the numbers from?
He basically checks every website selling sites out there, and if a make money blog are for sale, he watches it, and checks what the sale price is. The last month only 4 make money blogs have been sold, and they are as follows:
(image from 45n5.com)
As a note to the image above I can tell you that johncow.com are’t sold because the buyer wasen’t real. He basically flipped around after he won the auction and asked the owner of johncow.com to sell it to him for $35k instead. Something the owner of course didn’t want to. So a long story short, the blog haven’t been sold. Yet.
This makes the avrage price per subscriber a lot less, and without the sale of johncow.com the avreage value of an subscriber is $14.14.
So, would i sell this blog for $1.5k? I would actually have had to think about it, since I got so much to do, but probably I wouldent. The amount of time I have used on it, and the amount of money. I think we are up to $700+ only in advertising. $1.5k would just not covered it, and since I’m not in the need of quick money it wouldn’t have been a smart move of me.
So, yesterday I upgraded the blog to 2.5, and at the same time the wordpress team published the updated version, and now I have to upgrade again to 2.5.1. It’s no bigge, since I only have to click a link, but still.
So, the 2.5.1 does include some important bug fixes, and a security fix. They recommend everyone to update immediately, particularly if your blog has open registration. The vulnerability is not public but it will be shortly.
Performance improvements for the Dashboard, Write Post, and Edit Comments pages.
Better performance for those who have many categories
So, then it’s official. Google
