Google Doesn’t Love Me Anymore (As a Referral Source)

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 […]

Leave My PageRank ALONE!

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.

My First AdSense Check

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.

My ‘Bad Boy’ Google Shares

It looks pretty certain that Google is going to purchase Feedburner for about $100 million. It’s not clear whether rumors alone have affected stock price, but my Google shares have risen a little bit today, from $470 each to $475. I know, pricey shares. I don’t have hundreds.

Is AdWords Worth it?

Lots of ‘money’ bloggers write about Google AdSense but not too many tackle AdWords (nod to Art of Money for getting me started on this topic). I’ve been using AdWords for years, managing my own campaigns and other people’s to generate more traffic, so below are some tips from me to you.

I Heard A Rumor

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 […]

Optimizing AdSense on Your Site

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 […]
