How to Block Ads in Google Chrome

1. Download the Privoxy web proxy. You can get it at the Privoxy main page, which will have all the most recent versions. You will need to make sure you download the right version for your operating system, as the proxy won't work if you download it for the wrong system.

2. Install Privoxy. If you are using Windows, the installaltion should be self explanatory. You may want to double check the owner's manual if you are running anything else as the install can get quite tricky otherwise

3. Once it is installed, open Google Chrome.

4. Click on the wrench icon that is in the upper left corner.

5. Select 'Options,' and when the menu pops up, go to the 'Under the Hood' tab.

6. Click on 'Change Proxy Settings.'

7. Go to the 'Connections' tab, and then click on 'Lan Settings' (at the bottom).

8. Check the Proxy settings box, and in the address bar add 127.0.0.1 and add 8118 for the port.

9. Click 'OK' and then restart Chrome. When you open it back up, you should have a more ad-free experience (although you will still see a few).

How to Manage a Blog

Managing a Blog

1. Run your blog like a business. Managing a successful blog requires having a plan in place. Evaluate how many times you will post a week, who your target market is, what topics you will focus on, and how you will attract visitors.

2. Brand your blog. Offer your visitors a unique selling proposition and focusing on providing them content unlike anyone else. Stick with a consistent style of writing that visitors will come to expect and rely on.

3. Market your blog. Part of managing your blog goes beyond just writing the content. Actively promote it on social networking sites such as Twitter, Facebook and Digg. Set aside a certain amount of time each day to submit new posts to these social networking sites and take time to comment on other blogs in your niche. Providing links back to your site in your comments can help gain you traffic.

4. Monetize your blog. Evaluate and experiment with different monetization methods. Consider implementing Google Adsense or promoting products on Clickbank that fall into your niche. Take time to review what methods are making money and which ones need to go. Managing a blog that will make you money, requires you to continually seek out and promote new products.

5. Decide on a call-to-action. Identifying a strong call-to-action will help you manage your blog and stick to your plan. A call-to-action could be getting a visitor to click on a Google Adsense ad, or follow through on an affiliate link in your blog post.

6. Focus on producing consistently high quality content. Have several posts waiting in queue for times that you are unable to update your blog. Having extra posts on-hand will serve as a backup and allow you to stick to your goals of uploading weekly content. Consider setting a publish date in advance to publish your blog posts for when you are not at the computer. This is an important part of managing your blog and making sure content is delivered to your visitors on a consistent basis to keep them coming back.

How to Set Up an Advertising Website

Preparing Your Website for Advertising

1. Design a visually appealing website that is easy to navigate. Place advertisements above the fold, meaning visitors shouldn't have to scroll down to view the ads. Remove any unattractive images or widgets to make room for the ads.

2. Analyze your traffic. Advertisers may not want to pay to be exposed to your traffic if it's too low, so give your website time to get regular visitors that will appeal to advertisers.

3. Target a specific audience. If you write a blog for moms, make sure all posts relate to topics moms are interested in. Don't deviate from your audience just to make a fast buck. Advertisers will appreciate your laser focus.

Set up Advertising

4. Choose an ad networks if you aren't very technical or if you have low traffic. With networks, someone else does all the hard work for you, and you simply paste the ad code into the code on your website. They will track visits and pay you based on clicks. The drawback is ad networks don't pay much.

5. Work directly with advertisers to secure advertising packages for several months or years at a time. This option can be lucrative if your website is popular. Decide how much you want to charge and what size ad your advertisers will receive for that amount.

6. Sign up to be an affiliate for sites like Amazon or other commerce sites related to your website content. If someone clicks your affiliate links and buys something from that site, you will receive a percent of the sale.

Show Your Worth

7. Post an Advertise with Us page on your site if you are working directly with advertisers. Write a few paragraphs about your demographic statistics. The more information you can provide, the better.

8. Create a media kit listing your ad options and rates. Many companies don't like to list their advertising rates directly on their website, as competitors can see them.

9. Add a contact form to the website and email the media kit to interested advertisers.
