    Faves.com Search

    Here's an updated Google Custom Search Engine for Faves.com. It will search URL Details, Buzz, Latest, and Best Pages (and also let you search for just one of those categories).

    I think we should use these search results page for Faves/Everyone search.

    a) Better Search Results
    b) Better Ad Targeting

    Google Custom Search Engine - Site search and more

    Google Custom Search Engine lets you create a customized search to include a collection of websites (including patterns) of your choosing.

    I think you can also ad your own AdSense advertising blocks in your search results AND host the search box and results in your own web pages.

    System down message in 27 languages (including once in American English, and once in British English - in case you are confused by the spelling of "apologize", you can scroll down a page and read it 'correctly' spelled as "apologise").

    Is FAT the new THIN?

    OK. This Ad for visitingLasVegas.net has run on Blue a ton! I don't get it. They've taken a picture of a pretty girl in a mini-skirt, standing in a hotel room(?), and then stretched it so she looks REALLY FAT (not just fat, but fun-house-mirror fat).

    Are they clueless about clipping an image to fit a square? Or does the fat girl attract more attention to their ad?

    Hmm...

    Google Adsense And Getting Banned....

    It seems like Google Adsense banned advertising on Blue Dot on Saturday, May 26, 2007. We've been an Adsense customer since Sept 2006 - so I'm not sure what prompted this banning now. As far as I know, we've followed all their terms of service.

    Google AdSense is down - they couldn't even manage to serve their AdSense logo on their error page!

    Waging War Against Click Fraud

    Click fraud conference in NY this week.

    Quoted: "Pay-per-view had the highest risk for advertisers, and the publishers of this world had no interest in changing that," Siegel says. "Then Google came along and said, 'Let's change the risk and orientate on performance. Let's make performance-based advertising,' and that shifted some of the risk from the advertiser to the publisher. Pay-per-action would shift the risk entirely to the publisher."
