[Inside AdSense] The ads you’ve been searching for: Introducing AdSense Custo...

Here at Google we've put a lot of work into displaying the best ads on search results pages, and we want your results pages to benefit too. If your site is search-focused -- for example, if your users are looking for jobs, travel, products, or local businesses -- the ads you display can now be targeted to the same search query you use to return results. This means more relevant ads for users, more revenue for publishers, and better value to advertisers. Today we're excited to share our latest AdSense for search product: Custom Search Ads.

In addition to great targeting, Custom Search Ads are designed to fit your existing search results' look and feel. Instead of pre-defined sizes, you can specify the precise width of each ad unit along with the number of individual ads to display, the ad layout, font size, font face, and much more. You can take a look at how some of our first publishers are using these today on LemonFree.com or eCrater.com.

With Custom Search Ads, we can rapidly develop and launch new search ad formats and extensions without requiring you to update your search code. For example, on Google's results pages we've been busy testing new search ad extensions to provide users with information like locations, product images, page links, and merchant information. Two of these new formats are available today in Custom Search Ads: Ad Sitelinks and Seller Ratings. Ad Sitelinks extend the value of ads by showcasing up to 4 additional links to specific, relevant content within an advertiser's site. Seller ratings add star ratings below a merchant's ad aggregated from review sites across the web. These help highlight ads for merchants highly recommended by online shoppers. As new formats are developed in the future, we'll continue to bring them to Custom Search Ads so you benefit automatically.

To get started with Custom Search Ads, sign up today! We're currently only able to accept and support a limited number of publishers, but we're excited to review your application and expand this program in the future.

Use Windows Live Photos with Windows Live Photo Gallery 2011

Posted: 28 Mar 2011 04:52 AM PDT

Windows Live Photos is one of the options available to users when they long in to Windows Live, along with SkyDrive, Office, Messenger, Hotmail and MSN; it is in essence, a repository for photographs and images, and works very much like other photo hosting sites

Windows Live Gallery 2011 on the other hand, is a free photo/video editing program with links to SkyDrive and other sites. To get it, go to Windows Live Photo Gallery 2011,  and download it.

Windows Live Photo Gallery 2011 Download page

Once you have it downloaded and running, you should notice the now familiar Microsoft ribbon that has been incorporated throughout Microsoft's suite of applications, it looks like this:

Windows LIve Photo Gallery 2011 Ribbon

If it looks familiar to you, that's because this is the program that is actually running on Microsoft's "cloud" television commercial.

To use Windows Live Photos you first use Windows Live Gallery to import your pictures, change them, and then finally, to post them to Windows Live Photo. To see how this works, you can pull a photograph directly off of your camera, using the Import icon:

Import Icon on Main Ribbon

… or by using the file menu to move to where you have photos already on your computer:

File Manager

Crop your photo, adjust it automatically, fix red eye or retouch, etc. it using the tools on the Edit tab on the main ribbon…

Change Image Ribbon

…then log into your Windows Live account and click on the Photos tab:

Windows Live Photos Options

Click where is says Create an album, you should get this screen:

Create a Photo Album

Type in a name for your new album, then click the Next button.

Note: You can change who is able to see your album by clicking on the Change option.

The next screen allows you to add photos to your new album by dragging and dropping them from one of your local file folders, but we want to do it using Windows Live Photo Gallery, so click the Continue button to bypass dragging and dropping.

Next, go back to Windows Live Photo Gallery and click on the Create tab, then click on the SkyDrive icon:

Publish Options

Note: You can publish directly to Facebook, YouTube and other sites using this method as well.

If you're not currently logged into your Windows Live account, you will be prompted to do so, then, you should be shown your currently existing albums on SkyDrive (Photos). In this case, we see the Online-Tech-Tips Test Album we just created:

Select an Album on SkyDrive to Publish to

Double-clicking on it causes the file to be uploaded, and then this screen to appear:

File was Uploaded

Then, clicking on View online, should take you to your new album on Windows Live Tools, with your picture in it:

New Album with Uploaded Photo In It

Once you've got some photos added to one or more albums, you can view them different ways using the menu that pops up when you hover over the tools menu choice:

Photos PopUp

Windows Live Photo Gallery, combined with Windows Live Photos, together offer a unique and useful way to capture, manipulate, save and share your photos, images and even videos.
