Yahoo has redesigned it’s search engine results pages and it seems to look much better, web 2.0 style, with AJAX and modern functions. See for yourself here.

Relying on Alexa‘s stats, Live.com‘s traffic has considerably increased in the last year and it seems like it will soon reach Yahoo and Google. But if we look at mostly used search engines stats, it didn’t grow much, so Alexa is wrong or the users are using Live.com for everything else, excepting searching the web ? The Alexa traffic stats snapshot is attached.

Google Adsense has announced that they will ban all the arbitrage accounts and MFA ( Made for Adsense ) website accounts starting June 1st. Google is trying to clear their advertising system of websites with copied or nonsense content, full of Adsense ads, that are especially made for that and pay extremely low sums of money in Adwords or other advertising systems, with long-tail keywords to bring traffic, that will then monetize in Adsense. Those websites are not useful at all for the visitor, so he will be forced to [...]

I’ve talked before about websites that place their own ads on their own website through Adwords, but now i’ve seen another one and i’m not sure that they have a man that takes care of their advertising or the webmaster himself. In both cases, you should hire someone that knows what he’s doing, so you don’t spend your money advertising in unappropiate places, like your own website or MFAs. Also, this shows the interest that the owner gives to it’s website and it’s professionalism, also the owner will spend it’s [...]

Everyone stays in it’s home and noone does nothing interesting, noone posts on the blogs anymore, neither on forums, so i don’t have what to read, who to cite, who to talk with, i’m bored. Everyone is on vacation and all they do is sit in their homes, watch TV, eat and sleep, they seem like sheeps to me. Oh, and if i look in [...]

Google has redesigned their ads to, as they say, “to improve the look and feel of our advertisements”. I can only see one advantage at this change and that is the “Ads by Google” text movement from above to below the ads. Now the visitor doesn’t notice that fast that those are ads and he may click. Also, Google states that those new types of ads perform better both for Advertisers and Publishers, but i wonder how could they perform better for both ? A publisher wants as many as [...]
