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 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 colour.  Whilst this seems obvious, you must realise it’s not about matching the ad background with the page background.. Not by any means.  You want the ad to be slightly heavier than the rest of the page, but still faint.  For example, with a white background, you may want to use a very pale green, blue, or orange.  By pale I mean very light, faint colour. Then you want the border a similar colour, only a tiny bit (but noticablely) darker than the ad background.

If you’re using dark ads, simply do the opposite of the above!

I hope this helps some of you with your Ad Placement.

We now have a Google pagerank checker tool!

If you’re not sure how this works, all it involves is you typing in your website’s URL, and it’ll retrieve your PageRank from the almighty Google!

Go to the PageRank Checker page now to check it out! Perhaps check how your sites are doing for PR?

I hope this gets some use… It’s there on a trial basis for now, if nobody uses it (I will be checking the my useage statistics) then I’ll remove it, because I hate things lying around redundant!

Hope you find this useful!

For anyone wanting games on their MySpace, my games arcade offers fully compatable HTML codes for every single game, so that you can put playable games up directly onto your MySpace profile!

Here’s how it works.  When you click on a game over at TazGames, if you scroll to just below the game its self, you’ll see a box with html code in it like this:

<a href=”http://www.tazgames.com” mce_href=”http://www.tazgames.com”>TazGames</a><br /><span class=”mceItemObject” width=”490″ height=”370″></p> <span name=”movie” value=”http://www.tazgames.com/games/20480.swf” class=”mceItemParam”></span> <span class=”mceItemEmbed” src=”http://www.tazgames.com/games/20480.swf” mce_src=”http://www.tazgames.com/games/20480.swf” width=”490″ height=”370″></span><br /> <br /> </span><br><a href=”http://www.tazgames.com” mce_href=”http://www.tazgames.com”>TazGames</a>

If you click onto that text box it and select all the content within it (it should self-highlight when you click anywhere on it!), then paste it directly into a HTML-Enabled section of your MySpace profile (such as “About Me”), you will get the game you got the code from, embedded on your profile to play!

Hope this get’s some use!
