			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I downloaded the newly released Google Chrome Beta at work today and I have to say that I really like it.  However, when I got home and installed it on my Vista PC it was dog slow at loading pages.  I noticed that the slowness would occur when the browser would try to resolve the DNS.</p>
<p>If you are having the same issue do this:</p>
<p>Click on the little tool button on top right and go to &#8216;Options&#8217;.</p>
<p>Uncheck the &#8216;Use DNS pre-fetching to &#8230;..&#8217; box and try to access some pages now.  </p>
<p>Worked for me, see if it works for you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yesterday I was pleasantly surprised to hear The Thermals song &#8220;Here&#8217;s Your Future&#8221; at the end of the <a href="http://www.sho.com/site/weeds/home.do?source=shocom_nav">&#8220;Weeds&#8221;</a> episode that aired last Sunday.  If you haven&#8217;t heard of these guys you should check out their MySpace <a href="http://www.myspace.com/thethermals">page</a> and give them a listen.  I have seen them twice and they definitely delivered a good show every time.</p>
<p>I have a previous post about The Thermals that has their &#8220;Pillar Of Salt&#8221; video.  Check it out <a href="http://www.paulbenetis.com/?s=thermals">here</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you need to upgrade PHP on your current Linux box here are some instruction: (this is a result of my frustrating night trying to upgrade)</p>
<p>Download the latest RPM <a href="http://rpm.pbone.net">here</a>.  Search by name and you should find something like php-5.2.3-2.fc6.remi.x86_64.rpm.  Pay attention to the distro the RPM is build for.</p>
<p>Once you have your RPM, install it.</p>
<p id="code">rpm -ivh php-5.2.3-2.fc6.remi.x86_64.rpm</p>
<p>If it says that you are missing some dependencies, download those, install them (with rpm -ivh), and try again.</p>
<p>Some dependencies might error out saying that some files are conflicting.  If this occurs you can remove the already installed dependency.  To do so use something like this:</p>
<p id="code">rpm -e php-common-5.1.6</p>
<p>Also, you can use RPM to install addons such as GD libraries or MySQL.<br />
I believe thats it.  It is much simpler than expected.  I can say that now, after I spent hours trying to make it work with source code.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I received a couple of comments asking me to give some tips for generating revenue with AdSense.Â  This is what I came up with on the fly.Â  These tips might or might not help you; they might even sound very repetitive to you, as there are a lot of blogging about this subject out there.Â  The steps below did help me, however, so I hope that they help you as well.</p>
<p><strong>AdSense Money Generating Tips: </strong></p>
<p>You have to find a niche will have a fairly decent payout.Â  If, for example, you have a funny video site and a credit card related site, you have to ask yourself, which site will have higher paying ads?Â  Credit card subject is very competitive and companies are ready to dish out some serious money on their AdWord campaigns.Â  In addition to that, affiliate marketers get paid well for credit card sign ups, and only a fraction of that for singles site sign0-up or a survey site registration.Â  They will pay more per click on their campaigns for credit cards, because their ROI can be very rewarding.</p>
<p>The second thing is your content.Â  If you will copy and paste articles that you found or bought and they are not original, most likely you will not get any organic traffic.Â  I simply read up on a subject and write about it.Â  If you do not have time, pay someone to write for you.Â  The return will be great with some good original content.</p>
<p>Then comes the most important part - traffic.Â  Some will argue that the content is more important than the traffic, but with AdSense, the traffic will be your revenue generator.Â  Do not use any kind of traffic exchanges as Google doesn&#8217;t like them.Â  Look for the alternatives to AdWords and get your ad out there for a lot less money.Â  This way you will get the traffic to your site(s) that is targeted but not as expensive.</p>
<p>Tweak your ads by changing their placements, colors, and size until you find the formula that works.Â  Make sure to set up your ad channels so you can track which ads get the most clicks.</p>
<p>I think this is it.Â  If I missed something feel free to comment.Â  I hope that these tips help will help you in improving your AdSense revenue</p>

<p><img src="http://www.paulbenetis.com/images/adsense20070712.jpg" title="Adsense Earnings" alt="Adsense Earnings" height="137" width="417" /></p>
<p>In the commentÂ  one person was asking for tips or tricks for this.Â  Here are a few, without giving too much away.</p>
<p>1. You have to find a niche that you believe will produce high paying ads.Â  If an ad is paying you $.02 you will not get anywhere.Â  If you get $.10, then you are doing well.Â  Of course there are ads that could pay a lot more.</p>
<p>2. The content on your site has to be updated frequently.Â  I usually try to add something every day.</p>
<p>3. This is the hardest part.Â  Traffic.Â  I get traffic to my sites with ads.Â  Of course the price per click that I pay is much much less than price per click that I get paid with adsense ads.Â  One thing I will say is that I do not use Adwords to get traffic to my sites.</p>
