Tips to display HTML tags in a blogger post

Many of us would like to show HTML tags in their posts. But when you type the HTML tags and see the outcome you can't see the code lines. This is because the web browser will interpret the HTML tags as an instruction and executes the HTML tag.

This can be overcome by two ways




1. Replace each of

"<" with



and ">" with



However replacing these manually for a larger code is very tedious. To overcome this you can use the HTML tag converter. Just type or paste the HTML tags and check the "Check here to see your code in HTML format" check box. You can view the text code for HTML tags.

This will help to display the HTML tags written in your post the exact way that you want it to be. Following is the example of how to use the textarea and display HTML tags in your posts with ease.

I want to show my blog site (www.bloggerbasicsforbeginner.blogspot.com) with the help of html tag.

This is how i will use it

<textarea rows="4" cols="40">
<a href="http://bloggerbasicsforbeginner.blogspot.com"></a>

How to track your Adsense Ads

It is equally important to track your blog or website to know how each of the categories is performing. Without a stats or tracking software you may never know about the performance of your blog. I mean how much others are interested in your blog, how many visitors you get, how many clicks you get etc. There are many softwares available which can help you to get the status of your blog. The important among them are google analytics, slim stats etc.


Tracking the AdSense Ads is a little bit different and even might look difficult at the first thought. But the required softwares come to your rescue such as adlogger. It is a best example which can track your adsense ads effectively and present you the performance of your ads. Remember none of the third party softwares will give you 100% accurate results.

To overcome this you can use the built-in feature in your adsense account which is called as a channel. Channels are very easy to implement and use which can give you accurate results. You can keep an eye on each of your individual AdBlock on your pages and track its performance. Just create a channel and assign it to an adsense ad and use it on your blog. When you log into your account you can see the results individually for each add that you have created as a channel.

For example, I have an adsense ad at right panel and 1 at the top of the post and 2 in between my posts. I can view the stats of all these ads if I create a individual channel for each ad. I can get the details of how much time they are viewed, how many clicks on each ad and how much CTR and ECPM each ad is giving etc.
You can create many channels according to your need and requirement and use them with your ads. Channels are really the best, easy and effective way to track your ads.

So, what are you waiting for? Create channels and track the performance of your ads.
