This tutorial goes out to all those who download SIMPLEX ADVANCE NEWSPAPER II. 
I will be giving you tips on how to manipulate this template for SEO (search Engine Optimization). Now For those who must have downloaded this template, have you ever noticed that the ads (probably AdSense) you put doesn’t appear on the inner pages of your template? SIMPLEX NEWSPAPER II is no doubt on of the best template from SimplexDesign collections, and many people would want to use it to build a very strong audience for their blog with its attractive looks and gain rewards for that with AdSense being integrated into it. But come to think of it, how do you intend to achieve these rewards for ads without not being able to show ads on all you pages (including indexed label search pages) to increase click through rate (CTR)? I will be taking this little opportunity to demist little tips on how to do this with the following few steps

First of all, open the Xml template with any word editor and look for a very strategic position for your ad placement (If you just downloaded it).
Or you can log in to your blogger dashboard and find the Template link and click on HTML
Blogger login page Template HTML

For me I decided to place it in between Recent Entries and Recent Comments. You will agree with me that this position is the best place to place our ads so that readers can easily have their eyes on it at all glance. I also noticed the relatively large width of that position and found out that Google 300x600 Large skyscraper ad will fit into it perfectly (no pun intended)

Go tohttp://www.htmlescape.net/htmlescape_tool.html to encode your adsense
See diagram below for instructions


You can virtually place adsense code anywhere it pleases you within the template.
I hope it works

The New York Times reported in 2008 that about 95 percent of people who start blogs abandon them. An abandoned, or failed, blog is a blog that isn’t updated for 120 days or longer. That’s a huge amount of people who had at least an iota of ambition and, for one reason or another, lost it. At least some of these blogs were business-related.
Starting a blog seems incredibly simple, especially with the slew of free programs that feature a fill-in-the-blank approach. However, writing daily (or even weekly) can be frustrating, especially when you’re not getting comments or followers. You might find an SEO company that offers blog maintenance along with other services. Unfortunately, that’s not in the budget for many small businesses.

The Time Crunch

Many blogs fail because people don’t think they have the time to update them regularly. This is an excuse, considering a short blog update only takes 15 to 30 minutes. Of course, this is a slice of time that can be spent surfing the web or taking a coffee break. Blogs aren’t considered real work, but of course they are.
It’s important to schedule time for blogging and stick to it. Some people are very ambitious in the beginning, but that drive quickly fades as you feel that no one is reading what you write. Getting blog readers takes constant outreach and relationship building with other bloggers. Utilize your existing customer base and any social media presence to boost your blog.

The Poor Skill Set

Some lucky people are getting readers, but the interest wanes quickly. This can happen if you’re not a real blogger. It takes a certain kind of writer, usually a professional, to garner and foster blog readers. Not everyone has the skills to find high-quality images and produce consistently solid writing.
Ideally, you can hire a freelance writer to take care of this project. If that’s not possible, make sure you use the best writer at your disposal. Remember that this is an additional job on top of current demands, so re-distribute time or pay accordingly. Most importantly, if the person you use isn’t a professional writer, don’t expect their work to reflect otherwise.

Prioritization Issues

Similar to time-crunches, blogs are often put on the back burner. They’re abandoned during busy seasons, or the writer thinks it’s fine to skip just one day (and then a few more). There are always priorities in small businesses, but blogs can’t come last. They need to be somewhere in the middle in order to survive.
I’ve worked with businesses who want me to save their blog. That’s a tough task when they only allot a handful of blogs to me and expect that to be the magic cure. Assess if you have the time, skill and drive to start a successful blog. Having no blog is better than a neglected one.
