Nice look, good design, google ads are placed in good areas for getting clicks.

About the seo.

Please use title as link, because there is lots of value for keyword in url.

I really do like the colors and the feel of the blog. Some suggestions would include getting a logo and possibly an entire header. This will make your blog look more professional and inviting to the casual visitor. Also make your adsense blocks blend in with the background. This will make them look like part of the site rather than ad blocks. The last thing would be to list only the last 2 or 3 posts rather than 10 that make the page really long and defeats your CTR.

Good Luck!

actually this is the problem i am facing, i have checked out different articles on permalink structures, but the problem is i dont know how to make my blog visible category wise or post wise.
What i mean to say is which ever article i am looking at, it has the name www.ibummed.com/ in the address bar whereas i want it to be www.ibummed.com/post_name.

for my permalinks i did put /%postname%/ and also changed the .htaccess to 0666. But still i dont know why the SEO problem is still there! Can anyone help me with this?
If you dont understand what I am saying, feel free to ask!
I really need help with this!

Your permalinks are working for me:

I need urgent help please. I dont know why are google ad's being displayed related to maui or lahaina beach rentals and stuff like that. I mean, it is not changing at all. What could be the possible problem? How can I change it so that it would review the keywords and then display ads?
All help will be appreciated!
Thanks!

G'day, the Google ads, maybe need time to adjust the feed, i do not know how long you have had Google ads on your sight though. There is also the possability your site has no Google adsense relevence at present, so they are just feeding you excess ads they have at the moment. I see you are contextual linking with adbrite, i would not go overboard with that, keep it relevant and not every second word i would suggest.

Its nice and theme is also good ..

Thanks for the advice. Its been there for a month now. I mean the google adsense. If you notice, the other pages with posts have the right type of ads. Only the homepage has a single type of ad based on Maui or Paia! lol! there is one post related to this, but i dont understand why is it being held for my homepage!

Anyone else?

The color scheme is good, and the site looks fairly nice.

But...

I hate pop-up ads and I usually don't touch sites with a ten-foot pole that have those. The bright, white Google ads seem out of place or misaligned also.

So other than the ads, the site looks nice.
