Developer.com has posted this new tutorial that finds yet another use for the popular Zend Framework Zend_Feed component - reading the feeds for your Google Adsense ads (and working with Adsense for Feeds).

As you've seen in previous tutorials, the Zend Framework offers Web developers a tremendously powerful solution not only for building maintainable websites, but also for taking advantage of the latest web services. This offering includes the Zend_Feed component, which makes it incredibly easy to both build and consume RSS feeds.

He shows how to create an "advertising-aware RSS feed" via the Adsense for Feeds and putting Adsense ads into your feed. The information for the feed is initially generated by an instance of a Zend_Feed component (with the information pulled from a backend database).

Ryan Malesevich is back today with a look at another handy WordPress plugin - Adsense Beautifier.

I'm here to let you guys in on a little secret. From what I hear, if you’re using Google Adsense, if you add images next to the ads it helps through with your click through rate. And a better click through rate means higher revenues. Now, I've never done it but I hear it works out pretty well. So how exactly would you go about doing that? You could do it manually, but where is the fun in that?

He talks about what the plugin does - generate the Adsense code for you, without having to go back to Google each time. It supports most of the syles that Google offers currently, but a few are left out. It also helps arrange the ads to make it easier to place them on the page.

Installation is easy, and complete details on the plugin can be found on the project homepage.
