Old Firehouse Open To Public: But Is It Haunted?

PUEBLO - It was one of Pueblo's first fire stations...back when fireman responded to calls on horse-drawn wagons carrying hoses.

"It makes us realize what life was like back then," Said Gary Micheli of the Pueblo Fire Department. "There was some pretty tough characters back then. They didn't have all of the equipment that we have now days...so they did some pretty amazing things," he said.

Link up

If you'd like to offer your readers something different in the way of relevant content, give link units a try. Link units offer a unique design and implementation that can adapt to your site and your readers' interests.

Each link unit displays a list of topics relevant to the content of your site, and when users click on one of these topics, they're brought to a page of AdWords ads related to that topic. Though you won't receive earnings for clicks on the topics, you'll be paid for user clicks on any of the AdWords ads on the resulting page.

Link units are available in several adformats designed to complement your site's layout. You might wish to place a horizontal link unit near a horizontal navigation bar (see the example above). Or, you could use a vertical link unit near a sidebar navigation menu (see example below).
For even more effective placement, we suggest creating a color scheme for your link unit that blends with the background of your site.

Stay on target

As you know, one of the ways Google AdSense ads are targeted is to the content of your web page. But sometimes you may want to emphasize or de-emphasize certain sections of your page -- for example, you may want to emphasize the first paragraph of your article or ignore your menu bar. With section targeting, you can help us determine what parts of your content are important so that your site can show more targeted ads.

If the following apply, section targeting might be a good fit for your site:

1. You're familiar with HTML and are comfortable adding HTML tags to your source code.
2. You want to help guide the crawlers to specific section(s) of your page.
3. The sections you want to target contain a significant amount of text (a large enough percentage of your overall content to help instruct our crawlers).

Many publishers ask, "Once I've implemented the section targeting HTML code, how will I know if it's working?"

Please note that it may take up to 1-2 weeks before you start to see changes to your ad targeting. Also, we want to make sure your ads are as effective as possible,so our technology detects whether section targeting will improve your results and implements automatically only if you'll earn more revenue.

See our support entry for help getting started with section targeting.

See things before they happen

Wish you could see your AdSense ads before pasting the code on your pages? With the Google AdSense preview tool for Windows Internet Explorer, you can. Even publishers who use the preview tool aren't always aware of all its useful features, so we decided to highlight a few gems:

Filter more efficiently – You don't have to wait until AdSense ads are on your page to block any unwanted ads from appearing. It’s quick and easy to preview your site’s ad inventory and add URLs to your Competitive Ad Filter list.

Test color schemes – You can preview your ads using a selection of color schemes, helping you to visualize how AdSense will look on your pages.

Experience geotargeting – Do you wonder whether your users in India are seeing the same Google ads as users in France? With geotargeting, AdWords advertisers choose specific countries they want to target. Then, AdSense determines where your users are located based on their IP address and serves geographically targeted ads accordingly. The preview tool allows you to see your site's ad inventory for a variety of locations.

Please note that if you're a newly approved AdSense publisher, the preview tool may not display relevant ads until your site content has been indexed by our crawler. This means you may have to run the AdSense code on one or two pages of your site before trying out the preview tool.
