QuickWebCreations: Fun With Web 2.0 Graphics
So it looks like the launch of AdSense Resurrected has been delayed, which is ironic given the name — it’s been more than 3 days since I posted. More details when I know them…
In the meantime, here’s a fun site to join… if you’ve ever tried to create Web 2.0 style graphics with your paint program, you know how much fun (not!) that can be. There’s a new service called QuickWebCreations that makes it all simple. Here’s a quick “logo” I created in just one minute using their site:
It’s fun to play around with all the settings. Notice how it added shadowing and a reflection for me automatically (you can disable these things, of course). For $7 it’s pretty good.
Here’s a tip, though: when you’re creating text-based graphics like the above, don’t use them to replace your headings. Search engine crawlers (and others, like the AdSense crawler) don’t see images the way we do, they need plain text headings to do a good job of indexing, theme determination, etc. If you really want to replace your headings with images, you can techniques like this one to get the best of both worlds.
