Protect your Adsense account from Invalid clicks
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
Reading the DigitalPoint forums you get a sense that Google’s Adsense is banning everyone and anyone for invalid clicks and while that may be an exageration just the fear of getting banned by Adsense is enough to cause shivers down the spine of well monetized sites. If your site is click bombed or you suffer from a click happy reader or a associate editor who turns out to be scammy you could loose your Adsense account and all the money you earned, but all is not lost.
There is quite a few tools for blocking a tracking click bombers. The first one I recommend is Clickaider.com, this gives you the reporting you need for people who try to get you banned by click bombing you. In fact instead of banning you, Google bans them. Giving Google Clickaider tracking is essential in them tracking down the click bomber, typically resulting in them loosing their own Adsense account. Its free and its easy to sign up with ClickAider and as a added bonus you get great tracking that can help you better monetize your Adsense ads, just add a few lines of code under the body tag and away you go. If for some reason you get click bombed by invalid clicks be sure to quickly email Google using this form to let them know, be sure to forward as much info from your Clickaider account as you can.
But wouldn’t be nice if you weren’t clickbombed in the first place? Thats where code such as this by Jim Westergren comes into handy. This code will limit multiple clicks by IP and shut down your click bomber before he gets a chance. The problem is that this can shut down legitimate clicks. Do you have code that you use to protect your Google Adsense account, feel free to share!

But wait theres more! Want to get twitter or MySpace updates on your phone? Or maybe you want your Google Calendar alerts to show up on your mobile phone? You can do that too! All kidding aside ZapTXT simply parses out a regular RSS feed and texts it out to your phone.
First Steve Jobs now Samuel Jackson
For the life of me I can not figure out why someone would want to read the blog of a fake person. First it was The secret diary of Steve Jobs now it seems like people are taking on the persona of just about anyone and everybody. I ran across this site that looked and read like a Samuel Jackson blog but alas its another spoof site, this time without the funny or the satire. Other than the obligatory MF this and MF that there really isn’t much content here, but looking at the sidebar of this blog you see not only has Samuel Jackson been fake blogging but Barack Obama, Gordon Ramsay, Nancy Grace (really?), Peyton Manning and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has been fake blogging as well (yes the MFing president of Iran) like that guy can take a joke, these people are tap dancing on chemical land mines. If those fake bloggers aren’t enough you can get some Rudy and Hillary action too (that sounds sick but really).
Dump your girlfriend or boyfriend the Web 2.0 way
Not since Kevin Federline was dumped oh so unceremoniously by Britney Spears via text message has there been such a more unheartfelt way of breaking up with someone you are involved with. However if you really are so heartless as to send a form letter to your soon to be ex there is a whole website dedicated to weaziling your way out of your relationship, excuse and all. Still want to be friends, just click a button, thats all there is to it, yall. Ironically you end a relationship and begin a new one all on the same webpage by clicking on the banner that says “Send a free secret love letter”.
Create a countdown for your Blog, Webpage, or Widget Bar
Are you eagerly anticipating the holidays? Or maybe there is another event dear to your heart quickly approaching? Create a countdown to your event and post it on your blog or in a widget using justsayhi’s customizable countdown timer. Your timer will count down by days, hours, minutes, and even seconds to your event. The code is super easy to install on your blog, webpage, or widget just copy and paste. One cautionary piece of advice though is that they add on a “payday” loan link at the end of the code. This is however very easy to remove.
