Finally, WidgetBucks has just updated the publishers account monthly earning reports. If you check the “My Bucks” area, you will find three kind of earnings. One would be the $25 signup bonus, which is available even now if you sign up. The second would be the earning your widget made in the month of October. Lastly, is the earning from the referrals which is 10% of what the referrals made in the month of October. Though WidgetBucks advertising network is only five or six weeks old, i have a funny feeling, that they are gonna stay in the market for … (Read More)

Is Google Trustable Or Not
Well, web directory is probably a common word for all webmasters in today’s date. It really needs no introduction. So i will come to point straight away. Recently, Google penalized (or whatever they call it) many of the leading web directories. Most of them were pretty big, but they witnessed huge pagerank drops and fall in SERPS as well. Basically, Google went against any kind of paid advertisement. Now i was wondering, if paid links is the case, then why the hell did they penalize one of my free directory, which first of all is FREE and secondly has 15k … (Read More)

Alright, I really do not hurry into things as and when they are launched. It’s been almost four weeks since WidgetBucks was launched. All this time, i kept looking for pros and cons. Advantages and Disadvantages, Features, Payouts etc etc. I think i am going to like it. What i have noticed is that WidgetBucks ad units will do much better on products related pages, specially the electronic items or gadgets sites. Yes, i am talking this in comparison to other niche blogs. I’ve added WidgetBucks on some of my sites. Hopefully i will update you sooner with how well … (Read More)

Google PageRank Update
Alright, Finally the Google pagerank October’2007 is through. I have been through all my websites. And the result has not been very pleasing. The new websites i had gained some PR or other. But old and established websites lost it’s PR in a big way, which unfortunately has hit me hard and made me very upset. So has been the case with many fellow members who owned some big and established websites. Again it’s a thumbs down for Google PR update. Unfortunately Google algorithms are not capable enough of distinguishig between original and copycat, good and bad, deserving and well … (Read More)

Yahoo Search
Okay, there had been few problems with the counts for the SiteExplorer results recently. There wasn’t a small problem mind you. I’d noticed count of 400K wrongly represented due to some bug making it just 16K. Earlier i thought that Y! also is going Big G’s way. But Thanks God it’s not! Huff… Message from Yahoo! Search: Recently, some of you noticed changes in counts for Site Explorer results, where the counts were different for logged-in users versus logged-out users. While the counts have been incorrect in some cases, the actual returned results have been correct. However, we did roll … (Read More)
