Sold another photo for £10 for use in a book (yes, and actual, printed book...)

Here is a summary of the very nice email I received from the publishers :-

This autumn, Adelphi Publishers are publishing a new illustrated book, Made In Britain: The Men and Women Who Shaped the Modern World. This book, extraordinary in its richness and anecdotal detail, presents the history of the British Isles, it's inhabitants and their achievements. It examines the lives of fifty remarkable people who perhaps have made the most difference to the modern world, but also includes some 3,000 other individuals.

We are seeking permission to use a photograph of The Rock of Cashel (number 3 in your photos) in order to illustrate the pages on Brian 'Boru' the High King of Scotland and royal heir to Cashel, and would be very grateful if you could agree to this. The book has some 600, mostly quite small, illustrations which we have been able to achieve because many copyright holders have agreed to allow reproduction gratis or for a nominal sum. As we are a very small publishing company, we hope you will similarly be able to help us. It would be wonderful if you could.


Details of the book are as follows:


Title: Made In Britain: The Men and Women Who Shaped the Modern World
Author: Adrian Sykes
ISBN: 9780956238726
Price: £29.95
Territory: UK; English
Print run: 10,000 (estimate)
Size of use: Inside book, 1/6 page

I feel bad about even asking for £10 now... The book sounds really interesting...

How To Increase Your AdSense Earnings?

Every time I login to my AdSense account - I notice a message saying

"At least 174 of the pages on irishviews.com are running less than three ad units. Adding any of our top performing units (336x280, 300x250, 728x90 or 160x600) to prominent sections of your pages will substantially increase your ad impressions and overall revenue."



I have always resisted slapping as many ads as possible on each page, as it makes some of the pages look untidy - and the whole site just a little bit less 'professional' and little bit more like a spammy 'MFA' (made For AdSense) site.

But Google themselves are advising me to do this!

So I thought, what the hell... It'll only take me about 15 minutes to make the changes. So I did.

I'll update you all on how much of a difference it has made in a few days or so...

Free AdWords Vouchers

Entrecard & Project Wonderful

I have removed these form my irishviews.com blog, and from this blog.

The amount of money / visitors I was getting from them did not warrant the space they were taking up, not to mention the amount of time administering them (particularly for Entrecard).

They might be worth considering if you have a really high traffic blog - but not for me.
