Rotate Banners with the Max Banner Ads WordPress Plugin
Dec 25, 2008 Wordpress
This is the review of Max Banner Ads written by WordPress Hack.
Statistics have long shown that rotating your advertising or affiliate banners can decrease advertising blindness and increase clicks. More clicks makes bloggers happy and advertisers happy!
To get an idea what this plugin is about, you really need to click over and check out the video demonstration that comes with it, but I will attempt to explain it here. Max Banner Ads sort of works like the Shylock AdSense WordPress plugin in that it requires no code hacking. You actually control your advertisements from the WordPress dashboard.
Max Banner Ads allows you to rotate several banners in a single spot or multiple spots, and you can choose from several locations, including your header, sidebar (using widgets), footer, or even within your posts. Want to place it only in the second post? You can do that as well!

Dec 25, 2008 Web Search Strategies
6. The .. Operator
Specify that results contain numbers in a range by specifying two numbers, separated by two periods, with no spaces.
For example, specify that you are searching in the price range $250 to $1000 using the number range specification $250..$1000.
Find the year the Russian Revolution took place.

3. The – Operator
Precede each term you do not want to appear in any result with a “–” sign.
To find pages without a particular term, put a – sign operator in front of the word in the query. The – sign indicates that you want to subtract or exclude pages that contain a specific term. Do not put a space between the – and the word, i.e.
- USE [ dolphins –football ]
- NOT [ dolphins – football ]
So, to search for a twins support group in Minnesota, but not return pages relating to the Minnesota Twins baseball team:

[Google guide] Crafting Your Query by using Special Characters
Dec 25, 2008 Web Search Strategies
By using special characters and operators, such as +, –, ~, .., *, OR, and quotation marks, you can fine-tune your search query and increase the accuracy of its results.
1. Quoted Phrases
To search for a phrase, a proper name, or a set of words in a specific order, put them in double quotes.
A query with terms in quotes finds pages containing the exact quoted phrase. For example, [ “Larry Page“ ] finds pages containing the phrase “Larry Page” exactly. So this query would find pages mentioning Google’s co-founder Larry Page, but not pages containing “Larry has a home page,” “Larry E. Page,” or “Congressional page Larry Smith.” The query [ Larry Page ] (without quotes) would find pages containing any of “Larry Page,” “Larry has a home page,” or “Congressional page Larry Smith.”

[Google guide] Interpreting Your Query
Dec 23, 2008 Web Search Strategies
Understanding how Google treats your search terms will help you devise effective queries and revise ineffective ones.
1. All Search Terms Count
Google returns only pages that match all your search terms.
A search for [ compact fold-up bicycle ] finds pages containing the words “compact” and “fold-up” and “bicycle.” Because you don’t need to include the word AND between your terms, this notation is called an implicit AND.
- [ compact fold-up bicycle ]
Because of implicit AND, you can focus your query by adding more terms.
- [ compact lightweight fold-up bicycle ]
Note: If you want pages containing any (instead of all) of your search terms, use the OR operator.
Note: Google sometimes returns pages that don’t contain your query terms, as you can see in example. Google returns pages in which your query terms are included in the link text (interpreted as a description) to another page or place on the page, more commonly referred to as the anchor text of a link pointing to the page.

[Google guide] Selecting Search Terms
Dec 21, 2008 Web Search Strategies
The search terms you enter and the order in which you enter them affect both the order and pages that appear in your search results. In the examples below, click on the similar ways of specifying various searches and note how the results differ.
For simplicity sake, this tutorial uses square brackets to denote Google’s search box. For example, to search for a cheap hotel in Mykonos, I’ll put the words “cheap,” “hotel,” and “Mykonos” in square brackets, [ cheap hotel Mykonos ], to indicate you should type those three words in Google’s search box. You should not type the brackets, although Google will ignore them if you do type them.
Furthermore, in the examples that follow, each set of search terms is linked to the results of a Google search on those terms. So clicking on [ cheap Mykonos hotel ] returns the Google results page for a search on those three words.
