They did reply in the end. I received their fraud report message, listing the webpage How do I report suspected invalid clicks? , with the notice that investigating this issue takes 3-4 weeks and has to be very well documented. I'll probably run the report, mostly for environmental reasons.
As I wrote about this adwords issue on Sunday, you would think some sort of reaction would have happened. Especially since it is core business for the company I was talking about. I thought the same, that they would somehow react to my mails and warnings. Not only to repay ...
I really wonder why Google, Overture and the kind don't reveal what is the exact amount of fraud clicks in their Adwords types of programs. The percentage must be huge, and probably it would discourage some guys from continuing their PPC campaigns. However transparency would help building up the idea ...
Probably to sustain their heavy projected growth, Google launched a Referral Program for Adsense and Adwords. They pay $20 for every new paying customer your refer, so it's quite a greedy program. Somehow it remembers me of eBay's new member gold rush, reflected by their affiliate program. It's weird also how ...
I'd like to see a global keywords map together with the PPC for these keywords. As this reflects not only the world economy, but also local or global trends, I think this might belong to the public interest domain. I'd like to see such a move from one of the ...
MSN Search Beta is getting closer and closer to its production launch. What is nice about this launch is that they seem to experiment with innovative ideas. For example about one week ago, MSN Search Beta has added a RSS feed for its web results. Invisible to the average ...
Users of the ECS 4.0 class, please upgrade your scripts from AWSProductData to AWSECommerceService. The class is already upgraded, you might want to download the new one, or just operate the modification over your existing configuration. This is an old problem that came with the beta of ECS 4.0. The need ...
I really hate to sound mean, but it's the second day that the Orkut's community search does not work. In the main page, if anybody goes to the Communities tab, one is able to see the communities he subscribed to (after some while). However if anybody tries the search there, ...
After Google released its desktop search application in october, the local computer search market came to life. In December 7, 2004, Copernic announces the availability of a new and improved version of its award-winning Copernic Desktop Search. The Ask Jeeves Desktop search tool, in beta, offers an interesting pack ...

Could we witness wave two of post-communist transformations in the eastern European block? I hope you are all familiar with the first wave that broke the empire that paralyzed the eastern Europe for decades.

Today Romanian people vote for the Romanian President and the Parliament. The choice is between the ruling ex-communist PSD and a centrist alliance of the Liberal and Democrat parties.

Getting back to the roots: PHP5 is catching up fast: PHP5 comes out, and I get to know it and love it. Then I realized as I'm reading Java examples in articles and books - they all make sense now! PHP5 is just similar enough to Java that if you know ...
Microsoft let us all see yesterday how the software giant sees the future of search inthe Beta of the MSN.com search. I guess everybody was expecting huge press releases and intensive media coverage. So far this has not happened; it has been a quiet launch. The new search engine moves ...
I was just searching the web for "buy stock", and here's what came out: Seriously now, if somebody searches the web through Google for "buy google stock", first results are all kind of "market experts" that warn you against buying stocks from them, generously sharing 10 reasons not to go ...
Find24x7.com has recently been launched. Whereas most search engines nowadays help you search for information, the focus of the new web search engine is on finding information; therefore taking search one step further. The web search website is one of the first applications using AWIS data (Alexa Web Information Service). AWIS ...

Adrian Mutu, the romanian football player from Chelsea UK was caught on drugs by his club. In Europe, this generated a huge scandal in professional soccer; ...

back in November 2002, I was discussing an affiliate idea that I thought at the time would empower affiliate marketing in the future. Now, about two years later, it is nice to see parts of this idea in practice at Shopping.com I'm no big specialist, but in just a few words, ...
After years working with FreeBSD, I encountered a limitation of rm. Fact is that "rm -rf *" cannot remove more than 1024 files at once. There is however an easy workaround. I have a html caching directory filled in with files generated on the fly by the webserver. It is my ...
Updated, read below On a website of mine, this Camera Shop, Googlebot behaved yesterday in a completely irrational way. On that website, Googlebot usually "reads" about 1-200 pages a day. The traffic is quite low also: around 250 visitors per day. Yesterday, a Googlebot/2.1 crawler coming from 66.249.66.205 literally sieged the ...
I read this plot a lot: "PHP isn’t so great at being a daemon... ". Variations to it: PHP is a leaking bastard, in cli mode it consumes the whole system resources etc. It's rumoured in blogs all around Therefore anybody thinking of building an enterprise-ready PHP-based solution thinks not only ...
Now everybody heard of Amazon.com. Since two and a half years now, everybody also knows that Amazon.com has released an API to access its huge catalogs. The Amazon Web Services or AWS was discussed many times in the media; many innovative ways of exploring it appeared over time. Beginning this ...
I just received an E-mail from the Google Weblog mailing list. Just about now, the Google Desktop Search is available. It installs a Windows application on the local computer and runs a webserver (like Apache, but a tiny Google, running on http://127.0.0.1:something/) locally. Also installs an icon in the system ...
The recently released Alexa Web Information Service exposes a great level of detail in accessing website properties. Traffic ranking, subdomains list, related sites, website contact information, even the Stock Ticker, if available, are all present in the information AWIS returns back. As an example, have a look at "Amazon seen ...
Together with the main ECS 4.0 web services platform launch, Amazon.com and Alexa.com released a beta service in the websites information area under the codename AWIS.

ECS 4.0 provides unprecedented access ...
Even if Amazon Web Services (AWS) V4.0 is still only in beta, it proves to be a powerful application. From a design perspective, it breaks backwards compatibility; so its main goal is to open new spheres of web services applications. However the vast majority of AWS REST applications around are ...
Here's a primitive demo for a small package I am going to release the next days built for Amazon Web Services V4. http://www.php9.com/example4.php This example works on the REST interface like the previous packages, uses a XML parsing class smilar to PHP5's SimpleXML, and is built with proper separation layers. You ...
Today started nothing different than yesterday. I first opened my G-PC, the one I received as a prize for my formula: G-AW + G-AS = G-AD G-AW (former AdWords) and G-AS (previous AdSense) are nowadays united under G-AD. They now work together, exchanging money all the time without my outside intervention. ...
In their desperate quest for incoming links, some small websites use black hat SEO techniques. In general these techniques bring advantages on the short run and hurt terribly on the longer run.

Back in 1999, prefixing domain names with www became superfluous. As a result, search engines these days treat www.myDomain.com and myDomain.com as two different web pages. This raises the issue of duplicate content, which can negatively impact on search engine ratings. We'll offer here a short fix to this problem. Google ...

What's the problem: First of all the Internet is universal, it is available all over the world and not only in one single time zone, still there are websites that display local time. The worst thing is when they display their server's local time without even telling you in which ...
As an IIS administrator it sometimes gets downright annoying having to fend off all the insults from Apache admins I meet claming innate server superiority.
