    Hi Steven,

    Thank you for the great instructions.

    I added the code to Minima Lefty template over 24 hours ago and I am still waiting for data. I guess I am a little impatient.

    However, I just noticed that the template changes the analytics code when saving (" to " and ' to ').

    Is this a problem or should the tracking still work?

    Thanks Steve.

    I appreciate your comments.

    AdSense will automatically pull up "relevant" ads (most of the time), however on occasion you will have to increase keyword density in order for AdSense to figure out what ads to display...

    For the case study I only added AdSense, but it's important to remember that you can monetize your blog in a myriad of ways... i.e. physical products (as an affiliate), ebook offers (clickbank), Pay-per-lead or Pay-per-action offers etc. The downside of this is that it takes more time.

    Although to be quite candid with you, I would have probably made more money on my blog.

    Hope this helps,
    /Steven
  • I've got to complement you. Between this Blog and the Warrior Forum I've learned more in a few short days than in months of surfing for info on marketing!

    As an experiment, I'm following along with the trend marketing thing at blogger. My question is:

    If you're blogging on a different topic each time, how do you get relevant adsense ads?
