Click-O-Phobia: Me Too

FYI, Click-O-Phobia reminds me of Cheat-O-Matic – a rudimentary memory finder that helps you cheat at PC games – even though there’s virtually no similarity between them. Okay, ’nuff of the mindless talk and back to reality.
Search Engine Roundtable recently highlighted a thread over at the DigitalPoint Forums that is discussing the increasingly problematic issue [...]

FeedBurner Email Subscription Service

While my primary email subscription service is still FeedBlitz, I’ve started experimenting on FeedBurner’s own email subscription service on one of my blogs after a positive review from TechCrunch. The verdict: Not so good.

Adsense-YPN Together: Hmm?

It seems that The Personal Finance Weblog, one of Creative Weblogging’s business and finance flagships, is running both Google Adsense and Yahoo Publisher Network (YPN) adverts on the same page (which is against Google’s TOS given that YPN is a competing contextual ad network BTW).

Adsense, Adwords and Firefox Text Link Referrals

Finally, Google has launched a text link alternative for their Adsense, Adwords and Firefox referral programmes. This means that you can now start referring your visitors to Google through the use of plain hypertext links rather than through their cumbersome referral images alone.
An example:

One Reason Why I Wouldn’t Want To Blog For A Network

There are probably a hundred and one reasons you could think up for not wanting to blog for a blog network. But I’ll talk about just one in this short post: Overdependency.
That’s right. When you’re part of a network, most of the time, you have zero access to the nitty gritty (but critical) parts [...]

Top Web 2.0 Designs Featured Yet Again

When you (i.e. me) are the owner of an average (or perhaps even, sub-par) designed blog (due to owner’s own fault, of course), you’ll never get tired of checking out the latest lists of top Web 2.0 designs. Even if they overlap, there’s always one or two new sites that you’ll end up devouring and [...]
