  6. Now if your serious about on making the big bucks, try out Google Adwords for your advertising campaign solution. This will cost you a few bucks so bid at the lowest keyword first.

    Hi Nina
    Good information here.

    I wasn't able to get the IFrames to work... do they work with Blogger I wonder? I tried on an SBI site I have and they wouldn't set up (because it works in blocks). I'll have to see if it works on Blogger.

    Thanks for the useful info!

    Hi Cynthia,

    It works on blogger but you're going to use the GADGET - HTML/JAVASCRIPT element then place it on top of the POST ELEMENT.

    You may need to modify the width of your blog layout.

    If you need layout that fits for this I maybe able to help you create one.

    Have a great day!!
