						 <p>Hello All,<br /> Beautiful house is of no use until there are nice and suitable furniture. Here I would like to throw some light on furniture care tips. There are a variety of products developed especially for furniture care. Such as Polishes, waxes, oil treatments, stains and preservatives are formulated to provide furniture protection from the elements and regular use. Varieties of other products are also available in market for furniture cleaning, like:</p> <p>1. Furniture Waxes: Furniture waxes afford the longest lasting protection for furniture and are available as a paste or liquid.<br /> 2. Orange Oil: It can be used on any finish and does a superb job of removing everyday dirt and dust.<br /> 3. Lemon Oil: is recommended for heavier routine cleaning and dusting. It contains mineral spirits for strong dirt and grime removal.</p> <p>You even visit my site: <a href="http://www.gogofurniture.com/">Gogo Furniture</a> for more details on unique furniture care tips. I would welcome suggestions and feedbacks from one and all.</p>

						 <p>As Gabrys said <a href="http://www.wikidot.com/forum/t-69551/improvements-to-the-adsense-panel-and-listpages-module" >here</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>ads are only displayed on pages which are not too short. Displaying them on short pages would be not effective (and would lower the $$ per click factor).</p> </blockquote> <p>I realize only now that this is a little problem for me; the reason is that my new wiki (<a href="http://shortpedia.wikidot.com/">http://shortpedia.wikidot.com/</a>) is based on shortness!<br /> Every page is written with about 306 characters so the ads are not displayed!<br /> Is there any way to change adsense's settings? (maybe only I can have a good number of visitors/contributors?)</p>

						 <p>So after around 5000 views, I hadn't had any clicks on my adsense yet. But today I got linked to by Engadget, and pretty much got more traffic in the past couple of hours as in the entire life of my blog, and some of them clicked ads!</p> <p>I am so happy, I do the dance of joy.</p> <p>/hysteria</p> <p>Thanks for listening.</p>

						 <p>Ideally, I'd like to be able to customize how often the ads appear. I like the low-key approach you've taken so far, and wouldn't want them appearing too often. But I would like to be able to break up some of the ListPages output with adsense.</p>

				<title>wikidot business plan</title>
				<link>http://community.wikidot.com/forum/t-44372/wikidot-business-plan</link>
				<description>This is a tentative wikidot business plan that I wrote while trying to understand wikidot.

It focuses on Michal as it founder and voice. Unfortunately when I signed in today he has virtually disappeared and the site has a slickly commercial look.

Is Michal being held prisoner in the basement of the Whitehouse?</description>

						 <p><strong>The Wikidot business plan.</strong></p> <p><strong>For potential wiki developers — practically everyone.</strong></p> <p>The Wikidot business model is a patch of sunshine in a gloomy world. The Wikidot owner is Michal Frackowiak Working alone, he spent 5 months at his home in Poland writing the wikidot software.</p> <p>The use of open source software let him develop great software for nickels and dimes (well, actually $4000.)</p> <p>His software lets you – and everyone else — make maximum use of one of the greatest combinations of our time ;</p> <p>the Internet,</p> <p>the wiki system of collaborative writing,</p> <p>open source software,</p> <p>persons, world wide, willing to volunteer their time and intelligence to create<br /> sound information.</p> <p>This combination matured (and exploded) to create the wikipedia, the free encyclopedia that acts as a model for other “wikis.”</p> <p>Michal's wikidot.com offers you the combination of tools used by wikipedia— plus some new tools. The tools can be used by you for building and running your own wikis. And the tools are free – and your wikis will be hosted free.</p> <p>Your wikis can be used to run your skateboard club or change history by completely restructuring health care. Or run a business. Or do anything else that is decent and legal.</p> <p>Michal has created a business model that makes him pretty much a dream host. He has established a server farm where he promises to host your wikis free forever — and he will smile if they grow to be the size of the wikipedia or larger.</p> <p>You will never pay Wikidot a cent. If you choose to, you can have google type ads on your sites. If you do this, Wikidot you will get 80% of the income from Google or other firms that pays for clicks made from your site/s (and charges the owners of the sites that you click more. )</p> <p>If 80% is not enough for you, Michal provides the software free that will let you run your wikis on your own server. He even encourages you to establish clones of wikidot.com.</p> <p>He believes in the power of collaborative writing – and the communities that it builds – to make this a better world. He is a very practical idealist.</p> <p>You can help prove that he is right. Or just have fun, Or just make money.<br /> Any decent and legal thing that you choose to do with your wiki/s is OK with Michal.</p> <p><strong>Wiki reader?</strong><br /> You may be simply be someone who wants to access information that happens to be hosted on wikidot's servers. Wikidot provides you with lists of the wikis that it hosts and a search engine that will chase down your questions.</p> <p>Usually you arrive at a wiki here by entering a search question into Google, Yahoo or another search engine. You probably won't notice that that wikidot is involved. The involvement may even be kept secret if the wiki owner choose to have a personal domain name used. (Another courtesy of Michal.)</p> <p>Wikidot's involvement in getting you to sites that it hosts will be its system for making sure that any public wiki that it hosts will get the maximum amount of Internet attention.</p> <p>If the wikie owner chooses to, this will be done automatically by software that will ask you to providing extra search terms.<br /> .<br /> More important, if you choose to, you can improve any information on a wiki by editing it, adding to it, or by adding articles. If your changes are useful, they will usually survive – and make the wiki a better source of information and the world a better place.</p> <p>Have fun.</p>

						 <p>The right business model for my wiki will be to have a free, ad-supported version, and also a premium, ad-free version that people can pay for (maybe $5/month to avoid ads). I'd be happy to pay wikidot a flat-fee or a percentage of the revenue to make up for the lost AdSense revenue. It seems like it would require user-level control (who sees what) and selective use of AdSense (displayed for this person, but not for that person). Is this possible on Wikidot, or might it ever be?</p>

				<description>Choosing better themes and colors for Ads.</description>

					<![CDATA[
						 <p>A small piece of advice for other people who use AdSense: The theme and colors you choose might make a huge difference on how often people click on your links.</p> <p>I used to have the <a href="http://www.wikidot.com/themes:preview/theme_id/7">Flannel Ocean theme</a> for the Art Tutorials Wiki. But since the Google Ads also were on a white background, they didn't exactly spring into the eye. But now I've switched to the <a href="http://www.wikidot.com/themes:preview/theme_id/56">Co theme</a>, and the ads are much more visible - see <a href="http://artwiki.wikidot.com/">here</a> - and the number of clicks seems to have increased dramatically since the switch (though it's still fairly soon since the switch, and thus this might be a statistical fluctuation).</p> <p>Anyway, choosing the right colors and themes is something you should carrefully think about when you are using AdSense.</p>

Right now, my code is either above or below certain lines. The problem that I have is how to put the code in line with the text. I have couple of lists (for example , the one on my home page) that occupy the left hand side of the screen, so it would be nice to add the code on the right hand side. Your help is greatly appreciated!</p>

						 <p>I've been running AdSense at the <a href="http://artwiki.wikidot.com/">Art Tutorials Wiki</a> for a week now, and it seems to work as advertised. Though I can't talk about the actual income and statistics (the contract with Google prohibits this, if I understand it correctly), I actually earned more money than expected - though it's still an open question whether I will have to worry about reporting this to my tax offices for the fiscal year 2008 (Google only pays your revenue once you've hit $100).</p> <p>In other words, don't quit your day job unless your wiki is the hottest thing since sliced bread. ;)</p>
