Darren at ProBlogger has kindly shared a personal response of his to Google AdSense, who coldly broke up with him this month. Well, what happened is they decided that their signup referrals system was only going to be available to people in certain countries from now on (ie not Australia, where Darren lives, or New […]

Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god!!!!!
So after over a week of non-blogging and non-blog activity in general, I check my RSS to discover that Google PageRank has changed and some major bloggers have dropped, inexplicably, from a PR7 to a PR4. Godoogle works in mysterious ways.
Meanwhile, RichMinx.com celebrates a PR8, despite erratic […]

Well hallelujah and break out the champagne, my first-ever Google AdSense check has arrived in the mail! I’d set up direct wiring, but never mind, better late than never. The check is for $144. I could photograph myself holding it like Shoemoney did, but his check was worth a bit more.

A little bird told me that Microsoft might be haggling to buy Yahoo! (Yahoo! the brand name has an exclamation mark, it’s not just that I’m excited).
Micey’s apparently rounding up some spare change - $45 billion or so of it - for the acquisition. I don’t have Microsoft or Yahoo! shares, but I have Google […]

Today I went to a Google AdSense conference happening in town, because I’m in the process of setting up blogs, like this one, including AdSense, and I wanted to learn more. For those who don’t know, AdSense allows web publishers to easily paste ads on their site and make a bit of cash when users […]
