Google Turns 9; Rewards Adsense Publishers
Google turned 9 years old yesterday, and what better way to celebrate it than to roll out the Western Union Quick Cash option for Adsense publishers! IMO, this is far more convenient and virtually worry-free compared to receiving it through mail.

After Dexter: Is Everything Ok?
[photopress:wordpress.png,full,centered] WordPress released version 2.3 of their blogging software yesterday, nicknamed “Dexter”. Definitely a major release just by looking at all the work they put into it. But Abe warns against upgrading too soon because not all plugins are supported.

Remembering 9/11
[photopress:alleba_sept_11_3.gif,full,centered] Can’t believe it’s been 6 years. I can still recall quite vividly the time my friend was buzzing and begging frantically on our apartment intercom to let her in.

Allowed Sites on Google Adsense
Noticed something new on my Google Adsense panel. [photopress:allowed_sites_link_1.gif,full,centered] Google now gives Adsense publishers the ability to create a whitelist of URL’s that are permitted to display Adsense ads under their client ID. After only a few hours of activating it, I already found 7 sites illegally using my ID. Activating it also means that… Continue reading Allowed Sites on Google Adsense
