MARKETING MANIA IS BACK IN BUSINESSS

Did you miss me? Probably not, but after a two year break, I feel it is time to get back to blogging. Lots of things have happened in those two years. Most importantly, I finally got a broadband internet service via fixed-link wireless. This makes research so much faster, not to mention tolerable, and some sites and services just don't work for me on dial-up. The main driving force though has been all the new features at Blogger and Google Adsense.

Since my last post here, Blogger has added it's Layout feature which makes it easy to add widgets and move things around on the page. The html code seems cleaner too, and I will be tweaking a few things there over the coming days. Probably the best change has been the ability to label posts. This makes it much easier for readers to find more articles to read on specific topics. Check out marketing arts and crafts and out of the box ideas . I was hoping it would it also creates highly focussed pages for the search engines to index, but when I check my other blogs that use labels, those pages don't seem to be indexed. Another really useful feature is the ability to schedule the a date and time when posts will be published. I hope that will mean you will see future posts here in a less erratic manner than before

Adsense has also come a long way since I last looked at it. I've not really kept on top of that lately, just sitting back waiting for the occasional payment to be deposited in my bank account. The ad manager is cool, and the whole interface and channel tracking seems to be much slicker.
