Google Adsense – Gambling and Poker top highest paying keywords

I recently read an article on the SEO News Blog where they have very kindly produced a list of the top paying keywords for Adsense.  Now this is really more of an interest thing for me as the content on this site will never likely produce high paying keywords, however, it was very interesting quite how the the gambling and poker keywords dominated the top of the list.  Take this snippet of the top 10 for example:

poker stars com $15.98
party poker net $15.52
poker stars $12.22
party poker com $11.28
riverbelle online casino $9.75
poker party $8.99
poker net $8.82
baccarat crystal $8.53
online gambling debt $7.57
river belle online casino $7.36

Nine of the top ten results are gambling related which just goes to show you quite how much money there is out there in the industry.  Maybe I should consider opening my own casino.  Looks like the way forward to me.  :-)

You may remember I wrote an article a while ago that CSS PNG Hack for Internet Explorer (IE) which detailed a CSS based approach allowing PNGs to display correctly in Internet Explorer. Well since then I have found a JavaScript based PNG hack which looks quite handy.

The script was created by Bob Osola and simply only requires that it is included at the top of the page as follows:

<!–[if lt IE 7.]>
    <script defer type="text/javascript" src="pngfix.js"></script>
<![endif]–>

Please have a look at Bob Osolas PNG Hack Technique and also the PNG Hack Demo.

I have recently been working on building up a template collection as a base from which I can develop any site.  I have finished off the Liquid layout templates and have decided to include them on my site under the tab layout at the top of the page.

Have a look for yourself at HTML/CSS Liquid Layout Templates and let me know what you think.
