Make Money with Squidoo
I received an email from Megan Casey, Editor in Chief of Squidoo.com that showed the top money earners on Squidoo as of Jan. 2010. This pie chart shows the top earning sources for Squidoo as a whole rather than for a individual lensmaster.
Squidoo Modules List
There are many many modules on Squidoo that you can use, but so many that it is really confusing. And I think it eats a lot of bandwidth if you were to sit there and play around with them. But if you don't play with them, how will you know what each module does and what it might look like?
Blog Navigation
In Drupal, when you 'create content', you can opt to set the new article as different 'types' like 'book page', 'page', 'blog entry', 'story', and so on.
I had quite a few blog entries on one of my Drupal sites. One of the great things about 'blog entry' on Drupal is that Drupal will automatically set them out for you in chronological order. And since blogs are often like journal/diaries, that is a very handy and logical arrangement.
Channel Reports
Channels are primarily created so that you can effectively track the performance of Google's AdSense ads on your site(s). Channels give you a wide ranging flexibility to discover what is working best, and where. URL channels can tell you which sections of your site(s) are doing well, which pages, which sub-domains, which domains. Custom channels can tell you which ad format, which color, which placement are doing the best.
Ad Placement
Only 'custom channels' for AdSense for Content can be made into an ad placement. But why would you want to do that?
Custom channels are mainly created for reporting and performance tracking purposes - to find out which ads format/placement/colors are doing well. However you can also create a custom channel and make it into an ad placement to improve your monetization.
Channels
Google channels are a rich but complex topic. But it is worthwhile to get a basic grasp of this topic so that we can learn how to maximize our site's ad revenue.
What are Channels?Very simply, channels help you to find out the performance of the ads running on your site(s). They help you discover which ads are doing well and which are not. Which ad format/placement/color is doing better? Which pages/groups of pages/sub-domains/domains are doing better?

AdWords vs AdSense
AdSense
AdSense is Google's free program that allows web publishers/owners to place relevant ads on their websites and earn money. It allows web publishers/owners to earn money whenever someone clicks on the Google ads displayed on their pages.
Personally, I find AdSense quite easy to deploy but less easy to understand. That is because it is quite easy to get your HTML code for AdSense, plonk it onto your web page(s), and shortly after you will see the ads appear on your page(s).
Private Content
I wanted a (Drupal) space where I could have content that is not accessible to anyone but myself. I have been thinking about this for a while and have not been able to find a feature on Drupal itself that would do this for me.
What does not workI tried creating a new content type: Administer > Content Management > Content types > Add content type[tab] and then via User Permissions, not allowing specific user types from accessing the new 'content type'.
