Allowing for Load Time of AdSense Ads
This post on Search Engine Roundtable gives a few tips gleaned from the WebmasterWorld thread [Does AdSense cause a Download Lag?->http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum89/9476.htm] which will help prevent Adsense ads from increasing the load time of your pages:
Technorati Tags: AdSense+ad+units, Adsense+tips, slow+page+loadI use tables and the browser displays the page real snappy and then you see AdSense fill in as it can.
If you position your layers through the stylesheet then you can load them into the browser in the order of content and load the ads layer last.
Pack your ad units into a div, and give that div a fixed size in pixels (the same size as the ad unit, of course). This allows the browser to position that div and to immediately continue with the rest of the layout.

Free Passes to eComXpo Marketing Conference
Seth Godin is offering free passes to eComXpo in October, where he will be Live online:
Technorati Tags: eComXpo, virtual+trade+showIn October, I’ll be doing a presentation for eComXpo that will include a preview of the new Squidoo project. I wanted to let you know about it, and I finagled a free pass for my readers.
Go to [eComXpo October 05 Registration->http://vts.inxpo.com/scripts/lightning.dll?LASCmd=AI:4;F:REG~1000&ShowKey=32&DiscountCode=SETHGODIN&ShowPackageKey=1] and sign up. Choose the cheap option ($29). On the next screen, you’ll see it goes to $0.
It’s virtual, so there’s no travel, and the show lasts for three days, so you can come when you like. My talk is the first day, the sixth, in the morning, but you can catch it on reruns any time you like.
