Block Analytics and Adsense to not alter your statistics or CTR

Dec 19, 2008 Author: Andrea Romagnoli | Filed under: Advertising, Statistics

If you’re running a web site or a blog, and you’ve added the Google Adsense advertising program and the Google Analytics’s statistics, you should:

  1. block Adsense, to not alter your impressions and your CTR, and to prevent accidental clicks by you on your own Adsense ads (Google could punish you, with the feared Adsense ban);
  2. block Analytics, to noy alter your website statistics with your own visits / site searches.

And, thanks to Adblock Plus, a Firefox add-on, you can surf thorough your site without concern, from Mac, Linux or Windows, and without modifying configuration files. :) (more…)

Enlarging “Gossip City” Wordpress Theme

Jun 2, 2008 Author: Andrea Romagnoli | Filed under: Wordpress Themes

Traduzione italiana: Allargare il tema per Wordpress “Gossip City”
Gossip City is a wonderful wordpress theme designed by Design Disease - the authors of well known themes like Illacrimo and the Dilectio Theme. As Google says, 352000 blogs are powered by this awsome theme. It’s meant for gossip blogs, but it’s so well-looking that you can use it for almost everything - I’m using it for this blog, for example! :P However, you may want a wider Gossip City, in order to:

  • use larger ads unit inside posts;
  • attach larger images (I think it’s important, for a gossip blog);

With a little CSS editing, you can easily enlarge it!
