Google.com is experimenting with many things lately! I have just noticed that Google search has started prompting users for specific keywords as and when we enter the paricular keyword to search.  Of course Yahoo has been doing this since long, but Googl.com following it was least expected. In any case, better now then never!

Google Search

This is a good feature though. Many a times i am searching for Russian sportstars or Italian celebrities and i always end up mis-spelling the name. So this feature is going to be a time saver. Good you adopted this add on Big G. Not innovative but still welcome!

Alright, moving on. Well Google has already announced that it will be retiring Google Adsense Referrals during last week of August, which should happen anytime now. Many webmasters are feeling little emotional saying goodbye to good old referrals. But hey, i am not that bothered, simply because Adsense Referrals had already been retired in all countries except Japan, North America and Latin America, since early January’2008. So i bid’em farewell in beginning of year 2008!

New Adsense For Feeds

Other than Adsense Referrals, we did notice New and Improved Adsense for Search few weeks back.  It was followed by Adsense for YouTube units or Adsense Video Units. And then there was this Adsense for Mobile Content which i have really never used. Now comes the Adsense for RSS Feeds. Wow… Google is really onto webmasters now! It just keeps on getting better and better! I really liked the concept of Adsense for RSS feeds. They are placed in the feeds itself. You can place adsense units after every one feed or once in the whole feed. However i am yet to figure it out completely, simply because my account at feedburner is different from the account at Google. They are not migrating the accounts now, but when they should do it, i am sure to go ahead and get this units on my feeds.

Anyways, i also searched for the thug of Georgetown and a plastic surgeon, Dr. Stephen Baker. Google is doing a wonderful thing by ranking my post on Page 1 for his name. I just wish i can rank number one for his name so that he can realize why scammers should not mess with webmasters. Pity!

Alright….that’s all the latest i have got on Google. Keep Googling and keep visiting my blog for some more useless stuff

I have never been much satisfied with Adsense for celebrity sites anyways. Since last 5-6 months Google Adsense has been paying a cent or two for every click i get on my celebrity sites network. Believe me, i have lot of traffic on those sites and i really do get lot of clicks there. An average 100 clicks give me $2.00 only. I mean, this really is insane. Isn’t it? Is that what the advertisers at adwords are really paying for celebrity sites? I feel totally looted here!

Anyways, recently i was browsing my Adsense account and there in those green highlighted pointers it was written that verifying your website via Google Webmaster Tools will help us serve you better. Well, i thought this is it. Much targeted ads, much more money and much better revenue for the celebrity sites. So i readily added and verified all my celebrity websites. So what do you think? Problem solved? Am i earning more now?

Lol Not really. It’s even worse! Now an average 100 clicks give me $0.50 to $0.75. There you are Google Adsense. You really are brilliant with getting much more targeted ads.

My Dear God. Who in the world pays less than 1 cent per click to any advertiser program in the whole wide world?

I checked the ads running on my sites. Just reading the url and opening them in new windows. Each and every site is Made for Adsense (MFA). And they look worse. With absolutely no content. For God sake even blogspot blogs are being advertised by Adsense! Where is the Google TOS of “good landing page” being applied? I just want to ask, why is Google so dumb with their advertisers? And yet they come out brave and merciless when it comes to paid advertising on other sites which we have, by deindexing and banning and PR ripping things. What is it with you Google? Why don’t you get a life? Why can’t you live your own life and let live others their own?

Fact is, Google won’t let you sell advertising on your sites and blah blah blah, because they want people to use Adsense instead. But hey, they will not let you earn with Adsense either. Because they can’t filter MFA’s from their advertiser program.

So there you have it. Google Adsense vs. Celebrity Sites. You clearly know who the winner is! Don’t ruin your life. Get some better publisher advertisement programs on your celebrity sites.
