Does Hostgator deserve the reputation it has?

Everybody is under the impression that Hostgator are the best, or atleast in the top 5.  But why?  I often wonder if people actually understand whether or not they deserve their reputation or not.  Or do people just trust other people’s judgement and hop on the band-wagon?  Surely a ridiculous idea when you’re looking for [...]

The Secret to AdSense Blending

Many people have trouble getting their AdSense Pallets to blend.
It never appeared as obvious to me, but after a bit of trial and error, it seems the answer to blending is simple!
Firstly, there is an alternative preference to blending, which is to make ads clash instead of blend.  If this is your preference then just [...]

Amazing CTR with PHArcade V2!

When I first made the switch at my free myspace games website from PH Arcade Version 1 to the nice new “Version 2″, I saw a massive, devastating dent in my AdSense statistics from that domain. I was not alone.  I saw many people having the same problems.  But being an experienced webmaster I knew that changing the layout and appearance can have a temporary stall in your revenues.  So I stuck at it, kept things going. Now, I’m looking at figures like 18% CTR on a daily basis... Read More →

The answer to that proposition is; Actually, it’s not such a ridiculous idea.  It doesnt take a genius to... Read More →

Complete with a beautiful new layout, and a vastly improved front and back end, the script is a must have! You can grab a copy of the basic arcade here for $0. That’s right, nothing, not a penny, zilch. Priceless, you might say. There is however a price to using the free version; but that’s obvious –... Read More →

I apologise for not offering help with other programming languages! I have a request too; if you... Read More →

Compliant AdSense Privacy Policy Template

“How do I make my Privacy Policy live up to Google’s requirements for AdSense Publishers?” I get asked this question so much I thought I’d make a post about it.  Lots of people don’t realise what they need to include in a privacy policy to please Google when using the AdSense system. Well there’s not too much to it.. If you look at my privacy policy you’ll see that I have a very personal approach because I’m a more personal person than most like to... Read More →

Firstly, there is an alternative preference to blending, which is to make ads clash instead of blend.  If this is your preference then just do the opposite of my blending advice! To blend ads properly here are the basics rules: If the area around the advert placement is a light colour, you want the adsense to be a light... Read More →

PH Arcade Script

Recently I ventured into the realms of Peerhut, and got involved with Peerhut’s arcade script; PH Arcade. I have to say, I got a lot more than I expected when I begun using the premium script.  I had checked out the free version they offer, and was impressed to see such a great script for nothing, so I got myself a copy of the premium script and I am thoroughly impressed. The front-end is freely available over at my games website.  But what about what you don’t see?  The backend is... Read More →

About Me

Me

Hi! I'm 17. A typical teenager you might say, only without the ignorance and fast-lane mentality that the teenage years teach us.
When I was about 12 I became addicted to the internet.
I began setting up my own websites, clueless to webdesign. But as time went on I picked up PHP from altering open-source scripts, inspired by Andrew Spencer (cheers!).
