If only TinyURL would update their damn site.

Surely their AdSense would pay for a decent web designer!?

Comment on AdSense Park My Domains Retired by Eduardo Alvarez

Is not yet clear to me why they are doing this… for me this is very suspicious. It seems to me they are closing down the entire program for something BIG comming this year that will affect us all. They question is what could be? the end of the world in 2012??? lol lol

This is their vague “UNCLEAR CLARIFICATION” I received in MARCH 1:

Clarification about the upcoming retirement of AdSense for Domains in your account

Hi,

Last week, we sent you an email about the upcoming retirement of Hosted domains in AdSense. In response to some questions we’ve received, we’d like to clarify how this change will affect your AdSense account:
Our records show that you have 2 active Hosted domains. To see these domains, log into your AdSense account and navigate to the “My Ads” tab, then click on “Hosted domains” under “Domains”. The domains listed as “active” will become inactive on April 18. Follow the steps in our Migration Guide to continue earning income on these domains.

If you don’t have any active domains at this moment, you don’t need to take any action.

In this list, you should see that you also have 0 Hosted domains that are not active at the moment. These domains will cease to be available in your AdSense account on June 27.

All domains with content which are monetized through any of our other AdSense products such as AdSense for Content or AdSense for Search will not be affected by this change.

For more information about the retirement of Hosted domains in AdSense, please visit our Help Center. Thanks for your patience and understanding.

Sincerely,

The Google AdSense Team

Wow, your article managed to enter in top10 for the “park my domains” search on google, congratulations!

I was also thinking that google may anticipate a move in the market, otherwise it wouldn’t make sense to shut down it’s service like this. But think that, most of the traffic of these domains comes from people typing random domain names or typos. How can google stop this traffic? Maybe in Chrome?

Comment on Google Testing 3 Organic Results? by David

David — Sun, 19 Feb 2012 11:32:57 +0000

Andrew, it’s a standard Google “everything” result, it showed up again this time with 6 places and 6 organic results. If I select “more places results” I get a full page of just places listings.

It doesn’t appear to be a hybrid result it seems to be the new Organic results which are being tested.

Andrew, I did the search on my PC running on ADSL but tried to replicate it again and I couldn’t replicate it. Darryl King said he saw the same thing last night on a search he did.

Are you sure that you are not getting hybrid places listings? Do another search in places on its own and post a picture.

Are you on fixed line or mobile broadband?

Comment on Refresh trends to end 2011 by David

David — Sun, 12 Feb 2012 12:53:39 +0000

Hello Peter,

Ah yes certainly a bit of overkill as it appears Google has refreshed it’s toolbar already and rolled back to a Hybrid model of the black toolbar it just replaced!

Thanks for helping me get an idea of this stuff. Could be refresh overkill?

I just have not been able to really get into the Facebook Timeline thing much. I like the idea, but it seems to be a large departure from what people are used to. Over time I am sure more people will jump onto it too.

We shall see.

And they removed the RSS-feeds for each account, which is very sad.

Interesting. Not showing it on my end (in Virginia, USA) for these phrases. Must be geographical, or something else.

It seems to do it for a few variations such as "rug shops", but I tried a number of other variations such as clothes or toy shops and it did not work. I did find it also worked for "tile shops" and "carpet shops". So I assume there must be something unique about those types of search queries that Google is able to understand and see a benefit if it broadens the search term. One other curve ball is that Google is boosting it's search volume for those terms for some commercial reason.

Very interesting.

I couldn’t replicate this though. What was the exact search phrase that you used, David?

Also it may be that they are still testing this (displaying this selectively).
