Google wants Twitter

April 3, 2009 By 3 Comments

Google wants to buy one of the sites of the moment…. again!

Google wants to buy Twitter according to techcrunch.  The aquisition value is unknown but some say it is around 250 millions in money and in stocks.

A few months ago facebook tried to buy twitter for 500 million and failed… What reasons can google present to be able to buy twitter for half of that price?

So far, none of the parts involved have talked about it, but the potential of twitter to become the world’s best real time search database is reason enough for google to want that power.

If you haven’t heard, and if you use google adsense, then you must know that google changed the adsense TOS. Now, all publishers are required to have a privacy policy. And many of you will search for a free privacy policy generator. I sure did searched :p

Here is a short paragraph regarding this:

“You must have and abide by an appropriate privacy policy that clearly discloses that third parties may be placing and reading cookies on your users’ browser, or using web beacons to collect information, in the course of ads being served on your website.

How many sites does your rival has?

February 24, 2008 By 1 Comment

Well, i don’t think that no blogger has a rival in the real sense of the word, but let’s say in a positive way. You wonder how many sites a certain blogger has…

Well, if you want to have a 100% correct answer, then you can give up right now, because there is no way you can get a 100% certain… If you ask a blogger then it is most probable that he/she cant’ answer you with a right number.

But, there is a way, where you can have a number, that is no where near the right number.

PayperPost and Smorty – Bad neighbours?

January 15, 2008 By Leave a Comment

Lately, the advertising opportunities available to me on Smorty, require that the blog does not have any Ad or review from payperpost.

As you may know google was on a penalizing spree to bloggers that used services such as text link ads or payperpost. This made a market change.

Text link ads is trying to hide as much as it can from google bot, and payperpost created Real Rank. PayperPost still require a disclosure of some sort, such a badge or a small text selling this post was sponsored by… Smorty advertisers want to keep their google ranks in good grace and don’t want nothing to do with payperpost.

Domain name – With dash or not?

December 29, 2007 By 4 Comments

Often when we create a new site , mini-site or blog we want to get a name for it. And the best name to choose is a name that will have the keywords in it. Why? Because this will help with your SEO and search engine rankings. But how will you use the domain (or sub domain)? Will you use a alltogetherdomain.com or a all-together-domain.com?

Search engines can have trouble reading the domain keywords, however, Google says that it can split your words very well, but we can’t be so sure. So a little trick that i read about is to use google to find if your domain name will need to use dashes or not.

Payperpost creates real rank

November 22, 2007 By Leave a Comment

AS you may be aware, google is on a quest to penalyze the page rank from any site, blog that sells links or reviews. Many blogs with a google page rank of 4 went down to one or even 0!!!!!

The market is adjusting, and payperpost decided to create REAL RANK.

Every blog that has Payperpost plugin will track data to calculate your real rank, that will depend on your visitors and where they come from. This will benefit many bloggers and maybe it will be a more correct way to rank blog than PR. Unfortunately, many offer are still asking for page rank and not real rank. I think this will change as campaigns are revalidated.

Google adsense changes the clickable are of ads

November 19, 2007 By Leave a Comment

Google changed the area that users can click in the ads. Now, you can only click on the title or the address. the body not clickable now.

(credit for image: tolnetwork.com)

Is this any good? well, for advertisers it must be, the acidental clicks ratio will decrease substantially, and what about publishers? where, Tolnetwork, said, since google changed this, his results increased a lot.

What happened to your clicks? Have they increased or not?
