Grrrrrrr, if you don't like the feeling of getting back to another work week, that might not be the right thing to say. So how about Friday's coming? Did you have a nice weekend? They sure go fast don't they. Well, the fanfare over John Reese has finally died down a bit. That makes some of you who are tired of hearing about it happy, and others left wondering what happened. I do have a copy of John's home study marketing course and it's really good. I'm actually watching all of the tapes a second time, taking notes to make sure I didn't miss anything the first time. Look, if you have a site and you have no idea on how to generate traffic do yourself a favor and get this. You won't be sorry, promise! Go to http://MCPromotions.com/johnreese.htm If you don't plan to purchase right now at least go and watch the F-R-E-E videos and study the sales copy. It's all top notch and you can learn a lot without spending a dollar if you wish. I'll be honest with you, yes I am an Affiliate of John's and if you purchase through my link I will earn a commission. If that's something to be ashamed about, I'm not. A girl's gotta eat, and it is a great course on marketing. Besides I work hard to constantly bring you a new supply of great material in this ezine twice a month. That has to be worth something. So if you've been thinking of getting it please help feed the "boys", and me, and use my link. Thank you in advance. The "boys" are still adapting to the back door. They can't seem to grasp the idea that they can go outside without me. This definitely proves that dogs are creatures of habit. It's going to take me a long time to get them out of their old pattern. Can you teach an old dog a new trick? It hasn't worked with my Significant Other. Anyone have a training guide?

"Google's Adsense Program Expands with Web Search"

By http://MCPromotionsPress.com

When Google launched Adsense, millions of website
owners scurried to sign up. By adding "AdWords Text
Ads" to your website, you can make a nice little
income with no work on your part. Once the code
is placed on a page, Google scans it for a theme
and shows ads related to the content it finds.

Google is never one to rest on its laurels, and is
constantly adding features and improving the
program. The latest news is "Adsense for Search."
Thousands of people love to search with Google
and now they can do so without leaving your site,
giving you another opportunity to make money
with the Adsense Program.

With "WebSearch," users can search not only Google,
but if you choose the option, they can search your
site as well. Adsense Ads, targeted to the users'
searches are shown next to the results, just as they
are if they performed the search at Google itself.

So how does the search box look on your website?
Google makes it easy for you to customize the look
of WebSearch to make it match the feel of your site.
You can add your own Logos, change colors, title,
text colors and more. Google offers over 200 colors
to choose from.

So what are the benefits of adding "WebSearch" to
your site? Well, if you don't have search cap-
abilities for your own website, this is an easy
way to add it. Also, it may keep visitors on
your website longer and gives them a useful tool
that they may come back and use more often. It
also gives you another way to generate income
from Adsense itself.

If you're worried about the types of sites that
may be returned in the search results, Google has
a "safe search" option that allows you to exclude
adult related content from appearing on your site.

Like "Adsense for Content," "Adsense for Search"
requires you to already have an account with Google
and be approved for their program.

If you'd like to turn on WebSearch for your site,
you'll need to log into your account and grab the
code to paste onto your pages.

On a side note, Google has also added some other
really nice features to Adsense:

1) Preview Tool: A free download for Internet
Explorer 6.0 so you can preview what Adsense Ads
will look like on your web pages. It installs
itself as an add-on to your right-click menu.
It allows you to try out different ad formats
and color combinations. Advertisers are not
charged for ads that are clicked on from within
the Preview Tool. For more information, go to:
http://www.Google.com/adsense/previewtool

2) Languages Added: Danish, Finnish, Norwegian and
Swedish for Websearch and Adsense for Content.

3) More Channels: You can now create up to 50
channels for Adsense and 50 for WebSearch for a
total of 100 different channels across your sites.

4) Ad Format: Another new ad format size of 234x60
horizontal banner.

5) Image Ads: Option to display not only text ads
on your website, but image ads as well, or a
combination of both.

Google is constantly making changes and adding
features to its Adsense Program, which is a good
thing for website owners everywhere. By implementing
AdSearch on your pages, you can add related content
for your site's visitors and also earn a nice little
income, to boot. For more on the program go to
http://www.google.com/adsense

Isn't it time your website starting earning
its keep?

Useful Tips
***********************************

Sometimes you want links on your website to open
in a new window when someone cl!cks on them. But
what if you want a whole page of links to spawn
a new window? What a pain to set every link separately.

There is a tag you can include in your<.head> tags
that will force every link on that page to be
automatically opened in a new window.

Put this between your head tags:

<.base target=_blank>

Before using this code please take out the .
before the word base or it won't work.

"They Took Everything"

Here's a twist on an old favorite. A gift registry is
often used when people are engaged to be married.
But what about divorce? When they say half they
really mean it. Many times after a break up the single
person is left with nothing or needs a lot of household
items replaced. This is a great idea and with the
divorce rate hovering at 50% and sorely needed.
