Inspired by Tristan Louis’s research into the value of each link to Weblogs Inc, Dane Carlson has created this little applet using Technorati’s API which computes and displays your blog’s worth using the same link to dollar ratio as the AOL-Weblogs Inc deal.

You can just input the URL of your blog on How Much Is Your Blog Worth, and it will calculate the value of your blog for you.

And then you can simply paste the code into your blog to show off your result to others.

Textpattern is a flexible, elegant and easy-to-use content management system and it is both free and open source.

When it comes to publishing on the internet, beginners and experts alike are met with a bothersome paradox: word processors and graphics applications allow anyone to do a pretty good job of managing text and images on a personal computer, but to make these available to the worldwide web – a seemingly similar environment of documents and destinations – ease of use vanishes behind sudden requirements for multilingual programming skills, proficiency in computer-based graphic design, and, ultimately, the patience of a saint.

Those who soldier on anyway may find themselves further held back by the web’s purported inflexibility with written language, with its reluctance to cope with all but the plainest of text, or by the unpredictable results brought about by using “WYSIWYG“ web editors.

Textpattern is a web application designed to help overcome these and other hurdles to publishing online, and to simplify the production of well-structured, standards-compliant web pages.

Google AdSense matches ads to your site’s content, and you earn money whenever your visitors click on them. There are two types of ads provided by Google.

AdSense for content

Automatically crawls the content of your pages and delivers ads (you can choose both text or image ads) that are relevant to your audience and your site content—ads so well-matched, in fact, that your readers will actually find them useful.

AdSense for search

Allows website publishers to provide Google web and site search to their visitors, and to earn money by displaying Google ads on the search results pages.

Type: CPC and CPM
