Why Online Advertising is Awesome

There is much in the pedestrian media about the privacy issues of online advertising. And software vendors hawking security products have properly scared consumers about being tracked online. Personally, I love it. I’ve been a member of Google’s Adsense program since it launched, and my how it has changed. Specifically in recent years it has […]

Why Yahoo is the worst company on the Internet

So I got an email today, saying that Yahoo has decided to terminate Rightmedia, which it purchased not to long ago. Perhaps terminate is the wrong word, they’re basically going to end all existing Right Media services for small publishers, which is most of what the company offers. Coming on the heels of their implosion […]

User Tracking Isn’t So Bad

There has been much privacy broohaha for the past years about privacy and user tracking. Specifically how ad companies will “track” users across websites. This, I think, has mostly been overblown, and really, is a good thing, not a bad thing. I’m taking my wife to Vegas this Spring and these past two weeks I’ve […]

Microsoft offers to buy Yahoo for 44b

Read it up here. Honestly, I don’t understand this move. Yahoo sucks. Their search engine sucks, their advertising service sucks. Who here doesn’t think Microsoft Adcenter is better than Yahoo Search Marketing? I believe until just very recently YSM didn’t even allow you to opt out of their syndicated results, so to advertise on their […]

Sometimes even I do dumb things

My second most popular content site is my survival site. I get really decent eCPMs from Adsense with it, especially this time of year, because there are a lot of outdoor retailers who do typical Christmas advertising. Yesterday was one of the best normal days ever for Adsense with it in fact, I saw normal […]

Prepare for an Adsense eCPM Drop


Bookmark using any bookmark manager!

As per this post at the official Adsense blog Google has now significantly reduced the amount of space in an ad that is clickable. Now only the title and URL of an Adsense ad will be clickable. The reason they say is to reduce accidental clicks. I do not like this change. The thing is, […]

$0.20 CPM from Tribal Fusion


Bookmark using any bookmark manager!

How a good company goes bad. Tribal Fusion used to be a great ad company with high rates for niche sites and a dedication to high quality ads. They were the Macys of Internet advertising. But apparently Macys got a little jealous of Dollar General and Tribal Fusion got a little jealous of all the […]

Just a quick heads up to everyone that Adsense’s CPA system is now open for all publishers. Check it out. This could end up being both good and bad for Adsense publisher revenue. On one hand it is another way to make money, on the other hand it could end up having the same problems […]

Various Google Updates

The Googleplex has been buzzing with lots of little busy bees so far this week. Adwords advertisers now can see performance data for individual sites in the content network (Adsense) and then exclude the bad ones and or do site targetted ads on the good ones. This should, hopefully, benefit quality Adsense advertisers (most of […]

About Adsense Pricing


Bookmark using any bookmark manager!

I get really annoyed with Adsense sometimes. Starting in April they started passing out seemingly automated optimization reports that more or less told me, and many other publishers, that we’d earn more if we didn’t block so many domains with the competitive ad filter. Well myself, and others, block many PPC arbitrage type bad sites […]
