Speaking Of Answers

Perhaps someone at the Techdirt Insight Community will have the ability to answer this one:
Does anyone have “reliable figures available that put Google’s splog problem into perspective.”
Matt Mullenweg pointed to it - “Why Google is the service of choice for sploggers.”

I’ll assume I’m reaching those who may own a reasonable number of domain names that are parked. And the question is “Are you making the most of those parked domains?” Or, are you embroiled in a disagreement about trademarks? Well, Google won’t, isn’t able to, put an end to whatever disagreements you may be having […]

Google allows Onsite Search Results

Google’s Adsense department now allows publishers to display search results embedded in an iframe. One thing that turned me off before was the fact that results were always shown offsite, and lacked control.

Setup is extremely easy and can be achieved by […]

AdSense Now Has Real-Time Channel Reporting

This is awesome. This is what I have been waiting for and now it has arrived. Instead of having to wait the two day delay to check on which channels are performing you can now get the results in real-time (or as real-time as AdSense gets).
