Blogger Template Code for Google Adsense Ads

You may have noticed that there are no Google Ads on the homepage of Digital Inspiration. That's because the content on the blog mainpage is updated so frequently that contextual advertising bots (read Adsense) may not be able to serve really relevant ads.

We do run Google advertising on individual posts (called Itempages in Blogspot jargon) and Archive webpages but not on the frontpage. Implementing this style of advertising in your Blogspot blog is easy though it helps if you know a bit about editing Blogger Templates and Template Tags.

Adsense Blogger Template Code
Here's a snippet of the HTML code from our Blogger Adsense template that will help you display Adsense Ads only on Itempages but not on the Mainpage. This template will also convert your blog post titles into hyperlinks only on the homepage and archives but the titles will continue to appear as static text in individual post pages.

<MainOrArchivePage>
<Blogger> <BlogDateHeader>
<h2 class="date-header"><$BlogDateHeaderDate$></h2> </BlogDateHeader>
<a name="<$BlogItemNumber$>"></a> <BlogItemTitle><BlogItemUrl><a href="<$BlogItemUrl$>"> </BlogItemUrl>
<h3><a href="<$BlogItemPermalinkURL$>"><$BlogItemTitle$></a></h3>
<BlogItemUrl></a></BlogItemUrl> </BlogItemTitle>
<$BlogItemBody$>
</Blogger>
</MainOrArchivePage>

<ItemPage><Blogger><BlogDateHeader>
<h2 class="date-header"><$BlogDateHeaderDate$></h2> </BlogDateHeader>
<div class="post"><a name="<$BlogItemNumber$>"></a> <BlogItemTitle><BlogItemUrl><a href="<$BlogItemUrl$>"> </BlogItemUrl>
<h3><$BlogItemTitle$></h3>
<BlogItemUrl></a></BlogItemUrl> </BlogItemTitle>
===== Google Ad Code goes here ======
<$BlogItemBody$>
</Blogger>
</ItemPage>

The above HTML code is written for the classic Blogger template. If you have upgraded to the drag-n-drop layout templates of new Blogger, the code may require some adjustments but the basic implementation principle would stay the same.

How to Download Contacts from Facebook To Outlook Address Book

Facebook users are not too pleased with the "walled garden" approach of Facebook. The reason is simple - while you can easily import your Outlook address book and GMail contacts into Facebook, the reverse path is closed. There's no "official" way to export your Facebook friends email addresses or contact phone numbers out as a CSV file so that you can sync the contacts data with Outlook, GMail or your BlackBerry. Some third-party Facebook hacks like "Facebook Sync" (for Mac) and "Facebook Downloader" (for Windows) did allow you to download your Facebook friends' names, emails, mobile phone number and profile photo to the desktop but they were quickly removed for violation of Facebook Terms of Use. How to Download Contacts from Facebook There are still some options to take Friends data outside the walls of Facebook wall. Facebook offers the Takeout option allowing you to download all Facebook data locally to the disk (include

PhishTank Detects Phishing Websites by Digg Style Voting

OpenDNS, a free service that helps anyone surf the Internet faster with a simple DNS tweak , will announce PhishTank today. PhishTank is a free public database of phishing URLs where anyone can submit their phishes via email or through the website. The submissions are verified by the other community members who then vote for the suspected site. This is such a neat idea as sites can be categorized just based on user feedback without even having to manually verify each and every submission. PhishTank employs the "feedback loop" mechanism where users will be kept updated with the status' of the phish they submit either via email alerts or a personal RSS feed . Naturally, once the PhishTank databases grows, other sites can harness the data using open APIs which will remain free. OpenDNS would also use this data to improve their existing phishing detection algorithms which are already very impressive and efficient. PhishTank | PhishTank Blog [Thanks Allison] Related: Google
