How to add AdBrite to your blog

1. To add AdBrite to your blog, go to www.adbrite.com and choose the 'Create an Account' box for Website owners.
2. Next, choose what types of ads you want on your site. You can choose from banner and/or text ads, full page ads and inline ads (when the mouse rolls over highlighted words in the text an ad appears). You have the option of choosing all types of ads or just one or 2.Before you leave that screen you have to check boxes agreeing not to place incentives within your site to click on ads and that the ads will not be set up on sites with pornographic content. Pretty standard stuff.

3. Next choose the ad format you want. AdBrite does not have as many options as Google Adsense but for some this may be a good thing. As you click each option on the dropdown menu the sample ad on the page will change so you can get an idea of what you are choosing.Next choose the type of content you want to allow: either all available ads (except adult) or family-friendly only, then decide if you want your ads auto-approved or if you want to approve each ad before it appears on your site. This setting can be changed later, so for now I'd say go with auto-approve until you learn your way around.
4. Next you need to provide your site info: URL, name of your site and a brief description, and also specify the area where your ads will appear (top banner, left vertical, etc).After that is an important area where you enter keywords that apply to your site. You can enter up to 50 and they have a counter that shows how many you have left. Put some thought into the keywords you choose since these will help determine the types of ads that appear in your site.Once that's complete you will pick a main category for your site and a secondary category. For example, if you blog about books you would pick Arts Entertainment and then Books.
5.

Finally, answer yes or no to whether you are already using other ad networks and click on the link to get your ad code HTML. Just copy and paste it into the HTML/Java Script area on your site and that's it! You are now signed up with AdBrite. Now start promoting!

How to Compare Account Code Segments in Accounting Software

1. Extract charts of accounts from the systems you're comparing. You can print them out or get them in an electronic format. Many programs offer lists of accounts by segment, making it easier to understand the accounting code setup. For example, an account code may have the structure of 'xxx-yy-zzzz.' If the list of segments for 'yy' shows that the digits '01' is for California, '02' is for Arizona and '03' is for Oregon, then most likely the 'yy' segment relates to states where the company operates. You will be able to see what the segments relate to, but most likely you will not be able to see why the chart of accounts was created the way it was, unless the setup was documented and kept for review.
2. Compare segments by function, not by sequence they show up in an accounting code. For example, Firm A has the account code 'xxx-yy-zzzz,' while Firm B has the account code 'x-yyyy-zzz.' If the 'x' segment in each account code meant the same thing, such as departments, then it makes sense to compare them; however, if the 'x' in Firm A relates to types of sale, then it makes no sense to compare the first segments of both firms. The same logic applies to all segments.

3. Use a spreadsheet to compare accounting code segments. You can download the chart of accounts or a trial balance in a spreadsheet and use the 'parsing' function to separate the segments in each column to facilitate comparison and analysis. You can also data sort to analyze segments or use the filter or pivot tables For example, you could sort data by description to identify similar items within two sets of accounting segments and conduct a logical comparison. Using a filter in the worksheet, you can group and separate certain items easily.
