What better way for us to celebrate our first $100 Google Adsense payment then to give some of it away. Over the last three months we have started posting regularly, we have redesigned, our traffic has grown 120%, and we have been privileged to receive feedback from some very experienced Web professionals. In celebration, we offer to you the poor man’s $40 Web developer giveaway.

Entering the contest is easy, and any Web professional around the world can win. In the comments, enter one interesting Web development topic or tutorial that you would like to see posted on our blog, your first name, and an email address (not published). One or two sentences will do just fine. If we choose your topic, then we will do the research, write the post, and everyone will be all the wiser.

Should you win, you will receive any design or development related software download of your choice, priced at $40 USD or less, and licensed to you! The contest will run until 10/11/07 (one week), ~~or will run until we have at least twenty-five entries~~.

Be careful, publishing AdSense stats can make you banned from the service … it’s not a joke, it’s in their guidelines.

I had not the faintest idea. Thank you. I have removed the screenshot.

No problem ;-) Check the point #7 here.

Thanks for your blog, I discovered it yesterday and I’ll learn a lot. Cheers.

I should read this sort of stuff more often. I’m sure lots of people simply sign up, put the ads up, and never think twice about it. Thanks again!

Topic Suggestion(s):

1.) By tracing browser stats (with data from more than 1 source), estimate when a given legacy browser will die. For example, I design sites now, that work in IE5.5… I want to know when I can *realistically* expect that supporting it (hacks, tests, etc.) can officially be deemed a waste of time.

2.) Thoof.com (and similar sites) track user navigation to external sites by what links were clicked. An article on how to unobtrusively do the same, to re-arrange/promote content, or update some sort of “mini-site-history” would be quite interesting.
