Google Mail Promotes Reader

Google have taken Google Reader out of the shadows and added it to the small list of items it promotes at the top of the
Gmail interface.

The reader system has changed quite dramatically over the last few months, not all the changes have been appreciated, but Google obviously feel Reader is ready for a wider audience. It's still part of Google labs ("which means it's just getting onto its feet, you should expect it to be a bit wobbly, and your feedback can help us get it up and running") but I would imagine it would get general "beta" release soon.

I've been using Reader for quite some time, and it has become my feed reader of choice. For those of you dipping your toes into the world of RSS feeds and propagated content it's an easy no nonsense interface to get to grips with.

Links are the grammar of the Web

Gerry McGovern nicely summarises how to change good standard/brochure copy into good web copy. For years now I have tried to teach clients (and indeed myself) not to use the dreaded "click here" phraseology. It can be difficult as we are used to writing for the "real world"; to succeed within the web sphere though we need to embrace the technology properly. Web publishing is not merely about translating paper documents into HTML, it's writing them properly so that they read well on screen and the links work to guide the reader to what they seek. More than reading well on screen, they should perform (interact) well on screen.

What you consider that a paper document may only get a handful of readers whilst a page on your website could get many hundreds of thousands over the years it's online, then it's time to consider that writing for the web should be the priority and the paper versions of documents should take second place, if you bother at all.

Yep.

and I've had that in about a dozen spam messages today. the irony of these spammers knows no bounds.

Tips Renovating

I started renovating my tips (Web Design & Programming - Tips, Tools, Hacks & More) section and the first change I'm making is to make the pages interlink more. I already have a previous / next thing. Now I'm adding in a related links section to link both within the site and elsewhere.

You can see on the Microsoft Word tips I link to Microsoft Office Excel 2000 Keyboard Shortcuts which in turn links elsewhere. At some point I hope all pages will have several related links.

I think this has got to be good for SEO, and may make the pages naturally stronger for keyword density too.

FunWebProducts Removal and detection (aka Fun Web Products)

Over on my Web Design & Programming - Tips, Tools, Hacks & More website, I've updated the FunWebProducts Removal and detection page.

It has been for sometime the number one page on the site. I've added a big new referral element to the FireFox browser inline with the text about removing the spyware.

Hopefully, I'll see increased referral revenue, and the users will end up with a better & safer browser - so everyone is happy.

Inside AdSense: Picasa referrals roll into Google Pack

Inside AdSense: Picasa referrals roll into Google Pack

"In the next few days you may notice a change to our Picasa referrals program. With the recent international launch of Google Pack referrals, we'll soon be consolidating Picasa and Pack referrals into a single program. Don't worry, you will still be able to direct users to Picasa as a part of Pack, which also includes useful software like Google Earth, Desktop and Toolbar."

Unfortunately though, in my recent experiments with the referrals, I find that Picasa has much higher CTR than Google Pack, and earns me more.
