Putting It into Practice

Well, I can't wait to put all this into practice!" said Claude. He did seem pretty excited. "I should be able to get ads up on my pages in no time. I think I'll go for the standard vertical ones-I left some room for those already. But those ad links also look interesting. Maybe I'll throw them into a corner of the page…."

"I'm not sure I'm going to do anything different from what I'm already doing," said Stef. "Except maybe put in some channels-it'd be nice to know which of my pages are making me money. I have such a variety of topics in my blog. Do channels work with blogs, too?"

"Sure, URL channels can work quite well," I said. "It really depends on how your blogging software stores the entries. Just remember to define the channels based on the permanent pages-the permalink ones-and not the blog's main page."

I looked at my watch. "Look how late it is again!" I said. "I think we should wrap it up for now, but we need at least one more session to address Stef's concern about your site, Claude-getting it to show up in the index. And consequently getting some traffic to the site. It's a bit of a black art, but it's an interesting topic."
