Google finally released a report on real figures behind click fraud
Less than 0.02% of the invalid clicks manage to pass through google’s filters.
Even though google has quite a significant percent of invalid clicks - up to 10% - most of them get aren’t counted since they don’t pass the filters.
Another change in google tos:
“Publishers may now display other contextual ads on the same site or page as Google ads as long as they don’t have the same look and feel as our ads,” Brian Axe tells Jennifer Slegg of JenSense.
Email Spammers got much smarter 
Here are some titles of recent messages I got:
All of these are obviously fake (I hope so, haven’t checked the news yet 
), and all the messages contained an attachment - an .exe file. Of course I’m not going to open any of them and I don’t recommend that as well, unless you want some nasty animals in your computer

Due to multiple requests I’m finally starting a series of adsense tips to help you improve your ctr, traffic and not get your adsense account banned
Adsense Tip1: Remove “Advertise on this site” to get higher ctr
If you haven’t done so yet, for most sites displaying adsense I would recommend removing the “Advertise on this site” link.
The logics behind that is simple. You would usually want to make your adsense ads blend into the content as much as possible (without breaking adsense tos of course), so removing this feature will simply make your ads look less like ads and it will almost always slightly improve your ctr.
In which cases you shouldnt do that? If you’re running ads mostly on forums, or sites with high traffic and very low ctr - then people might signup to advertise on your site through that link. But on general content sites leaving the advertiser onsite signup option wouldn’t be of much use.
How to disable “Advertise on this site”?
• Log into your AdSense account.
• Click the “My Account” tab.
• Go down to “OnSite advertiser Sign-Up” and click edit.
• Uncheck the include me box.

So www.findinforums.com is now pr6 
Not really a big deal since i had (and probably have) other sites get to pr6 with just a couple pr7 links before, but for this one I can say I’m happy since it’s 100% natural growth, during the last year. 8,600+ backlinks in yahoo can’t go wrong
Now lets hope google will finally index some more pages for it as well
Update: actually that’s another screwed up update. It has just rolled back. Find in forums is back to pr4 and so are all my other sites i’ve checked. Similar thing happened about half a year ago in another update, so we’ll have to wait a couple weeks now to see the final results..
Yeah seems like it just happened. Yet another pagerank update. Which means you’ll now see on every webmaster forum 100’s of pages of people saying “WOW I got a pr5!” etc..
So, as usually few of my sites got a higher pr, a few lost some pr, others got banned, lost rankings and were put into supplementals… umm yeah I love google
So seriously I couldn’t care less..
But for those who do, go check all your pages and post here whats the highest pr you’ve got..
No, not really 
But I’m trying to use catchy titles to get more traffic to my blog, and if you clicked it through that means I succeeded
Well it happened so that I have a few thousands of domains (mostly .info’s from registerfly), some with traffic, that are just lying there and doing nothing, so i figured I should finally park them
I’ve been researching a bit about domain parking, as I never tried that before, and most people recommended namedrive.com, so i registered an account yesterday and redirected 102 domains to there, some with traffic - lets see how it goes now. So far I like ND’s templates, looks pretty cool, like a regular site. But anyway it will take at least a couple days to see some results.
So any of you use domain parking?
Google finally has a clear answer: no images next to google ads.
That will put lots of sites out of the tos..
I doubt they’ll be banning for this, but if you might get a warning in severe cases..
