Google updates landing page guidlines, Zip/Email/Arbitrage players, get in here

Looks like the "vote for news" zip/email submit model is void.
Hmmmm....

::emp::

Not hardly. Not yet, anyway. Most of my zip traffic comes from MSN+Yahoo anyway.

Google introduces Gadget Ads

Each gadget interaction is recorded according to a set list of actions such as mouse over, tab views, entering a ZIP code, subscribing to a web feed, or initiating audio or visual playback.

Ok, so web SITES that try to get emails or zips are BAD, but web GADGETS on web pages are GOOD?

Not 100% related, but still struck a cord when I read it....

A lot of people are using adwords to do their ppc when it comes to cpa offers. If they are not allowed anymore then it's only going to move these advertisers that promote these offers to their ppc competitors like yahoo and msn.

If we receive complaints about ads for websites of this kind, they will not be allowed to continue running.

Are there really people out there that complain to google about the sites they click?

I'll be curious to hear what mkrongel thinks about this...?

hmmm...

Usually, analysis in these things can only be done using a combination of automatic and manual work.
Normally, an automatic analysis flags certain campaigns / sites which will be lookad at by people in a second step.

One way to do the autoamtic part of this (as Google will be heavy on that) would be to search for keywords and combinations in the ad campaigns, and / or the site. Examples:

vote
win
vote and win
vote free
submit your mail
submit email win
...
etc..

Exactly. Just put that stuff in a graphic on your page so it doesn't get flagged.

Fuck Google.

"Data collection sites that offer free items, etc., in order to collect private information"

We're not allowed to use the internet to gather data by offering something to people for free???

I think I just felt my sphincter spasm with laughter at the incredible fucking hypocrisy of a statement like this coming from the single largest data gathering whore...er... organization on the planet because it gathers all its information by giving people shit for free. Can you say "search results?" I knew you could.


I cordially invite Sergey and Larry to a rousing round of my new interactive game called, "Suck the wrinkles from my sack."

Winner gets some goo...gle.
