Google has canceled the AdSense Account from an anonymous Group (Enturbulation), which talked lot about the Scientology. The reason why they canceled it, is very simple. Enturbulation is anti-Scientology and the Google AdSense picks up the context wrong and displays pro-Scientology ads there. In a letter Google explane their cancellation:
“While going through our records recently, we found that your AdSense account has posed a significant risk to our AdWords advertisers. Since keeping your account in our publisher network may financially damage our advertisers in the future, we’ve decided to disable your account.“
The privacy of Google says, that partners do not advocate against individual groups or organizations. But fact is, there are a lot of websites like this one which is anti-creationist and have a pro-creationist AdSense ads.
While the words might change from country to country and are sometimes taken for granted, human rights represent one of the universally agreed upon ideas — that all people are born with basic rights and freedoms that include life, liberty, and justice. This year marks the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights adopted by the United Nations.
Bloggers Unite For Human Rights challenges bloggers everywhere to help elevate human rights by drawing attention to the challenges and successes of human rights issues on May 15. What those topics may include — the wrongful imprisonment of journalists covering assemblies, governments that ignore the plight of citizens, and censorship of the Internet. What is important is that on one day, thousands of bloggers unite and share their unified support of human rights everywhere.

Twitter, a new social network Service which started few months ago, went down for some hours again. One of the workers at Twitter, Evan gave some information about the downtime yesterday:
Part of our caching service required an unscheduled restart. That means a slow rebuilding of data. You may notice some of the normal browsing related features (such as pagination) are missing while we repopulate the caching service. This is so we can get it done quicker.”
While surfing some blogs, we saw a new project called “Publish2″ which want to clone the popular Platform “Digg”. The new company founders are former GigaOm contributors, Robert Young and Scott Karp.

The economic slowdown in the U.S. is starting to impact the online advertising industry, with overall monetization down 23 percent according to ad optimization company PubMatic’s second monthly Adprice Index.
The index is based on data from more than 3,000 publishers and billions of ad impressions.
Large Web sites performed the worst while small Web sites were able to maintain their monetization rates. eCPMs (effective cost per thousand impression) for large Web sites (more than 100 million page views per month) dropped significantly by 54 percent from 38 cents in March to 18 cents in April
Medium Web sites (1 million to 100 million page views per month) were almost flat, with monetization sliding from 34 cents in March to 33 cents in April. Small Web sites were able to improve their monetization, increasing from $1.18 in March to $1.29 in April.
Social networking led the way in the decline with monetization falling 47 percent, from 37 cents in March to 19 cents in April. Entertainment monetization fell 17 percent from 40 cents in March to 33 cents in April. Gaming and sports were down 4 percent and 5 percent, respectively.
Technology stayed relatively flat at 83 cents in April compared to 82 cents in March.
In April, 77 percent of small Web sites collected net publisher eCPMs from ad networks of under $1, compared with 95 percent of medium Web sites and 100 percent of large Web sites.
A system where keyword bidding advertisers can bid to target their advertisement to certain participating web sites and you the affiliate can earn commissions every time their ad is clicked on.
Basically the system works just like Google Adsense. What they do differently than Google. Affiliates who place our code on their web site select what categories their web site falls under. The advertiser has 2 options:
1) keyword bidding and target their ad to relevant pages;
2) bid on key words AND target to those pages which are relevant to their keywords by subject.
This way you the advertiser are not just placing an ad on any web site that contains your key words but on web sites that are all about your keywords.
Lets say your keywords are “Toyota Tundra” would you rather have your ad placed on sites containing these words or on sites that are about automobiles with the words or topic “Toyota Tundra”?
EntreCard has changed their startpage. The new design has a image on the left side, which changed two images with the text: “Improve yourself” and “Promote yourself”. On the right side are the members most recent posts. Under the new image you can “Join Entrecard” or “take the tour“. On the bottom you can browse the categories. I like the new design and the pricing system.
Today I have seen that John Chow dropped a card on my blog. I think thats the first time.
Ask Apache is offering a Robots.txt file and updated Robots.txt file that you can download and use for your blog. You’ll of course want to customize it to meet your needs, including adding any directories that you have created since installing the base WordPress install that you don’t want them to be indexed.
Place this in your wordpress themes header.php file, if the page is a single, page, or if its the home page then the robots will index and follow links on it. Otherwise search engines will not index the pages but will still follow the links.
