Google has now started with the parked domain business, something that they for years left to SEDO and other big players. My guess is that SEDO will lose a lot of money from this. Godaddy.com also has a very good parked domain program that some people saying paying better then Google Adsense.

The best is off course to do your own scrap site and launch it with the correct banners Adsense or no Adsense. I have not tried Adsense service yet but I will do it in the following weeks and I will let you know how it worked out.

Microsoft is making an anti virus program that will be free. I can tell you right now the other virus companies will not be very happy and is already working on lawsuits.

The windows anti spy ware program are already saying that some other any mal ware programs are viruses and ask you to delete them. Imagine what the anti virus program will do?

Sure free is always good but what about your privacy and will the program say

“hi you have some cracked program on your computer should I delete?”

How much information do you really want to give to Microsoft and Google?

Google’s attempt to rule the advertising world wide ended for now in Russia. The Russian government did not want Google buy the Russian advertising company, Zao Begun. Google really wanted to advance in the Russian market and other countries and have tried to buy all the big advertising companies all over the world.

Google will not go back and see if there is anyway around the blocks that the current Russian government put in place.

Google Adsense have really done a PayPal now and made it impossible for people to contact them. Sure I understand them they have lots of people asking stupid question all the time but they need to make some things clear.

The Google forums are just a place for spam and should be turned into a place for people with Adsense accounts only and if you spam you are banned.

Even if you get an answer from the Google forums how can you trust this is the right one? Nobody I know want to risk their accounts getting kicked of Google since most sites depends on Google Adsense survive.

Google sometimes complains that some sites are crap but they have done this to themselves since they created Adsense people will do anything and any site to get the money from Google.

So they have created some kind of power vacuum where people are to afraid to criticize. Google Adsense has just gone to big to fast and MSN and Yahoo is to far behind.

Internet Explorer is not that surf safe that they wanted to say. A function that also is in Chrome Google new browser checks and saves where you surf. It will also suggest you sites that’s you might like. Chrome from Google have promised to not save the information more then 24 hours but what will Microsoft do?

Will people start looking for alternative browsers when they realise that big brother is always watching you more then you really like? You need a internet browser to surf the internet so the big companies realize that the fight must start there. Who needs ads when you can “suggest” sites in the browsers directly.

Some people have all the benefits and it must be good to work at Google sometimes if not all the time. Michael Weiss-Malik is one of this lucky guys and took advantages of when Google was about to take a photo for Google maps and Google earth. Normally you do not know when they are shooting but since he work for Google he got a tip. He went there and proposed to his wife with a sign and he is now in the history books for proposing on Google earth.

You can see a picture below or you can zoom in on Charleston Road 1642 Mountain View California.

Google have updated its algorithm from June but only in USA. I actually did not know about it but you can read about and much more on this search optimization blog. I found many thing very interesting on the blog, like the video from Matt Cutts.
If you like to make money with your website they also have a section for website revenue and affiliate websites. There is also an interesting article about paid links and how to avoid being banned by Google when you buy or sell links.

Did you know that MSN or Microsoft also have a webmaster center where you can submit your website? It maybe not be as powerful as the Google webmaster tool but it is till a good idea to visit and submit your site. You can get help to verify the Robot txt or make sure your website is working ok, Live webmaster center will send you a email if your website have problem.

Also Yahoo has the similar program Yahoo webmaster where you can do the same things but they are closer to what Google webmaster program offer. You can post your RSS feeds and site maps and submit your website for inclusion in Yahoo.

Google have helped Yahoo to get even more for its shares if it wants sell. Yahoo and Google are going to work closely on a deal to let Google show ads on Yahoo and sometimes soon the other way around. Yahoo can get out of the deal by paying 250 million dollar and some change. This leaves the door open still for Microsoft to buy Yahoo. Microsoft has tried to by the rival search engine a few times now but Yahoo share holder wanted more and Microsoft got cold feet.
When the deal did not go trough Yahoo waited two days and then went to make a deal with Google instead. Who is the slut now?

EU has problem with Google’s new street view project. It offers a 360 view of streets and in the USA some people have been seen in some not so flattering addressee.

EU thinks that this might hurt the privacy of the normal people stuck on the images forever.

Imagine caught on internet walking down the red light district in Holland when you only wanted to go by an Ice Cream.

Pentagon is not that happy either and has asked Google to take away some pictures that can damage the national security in the US.

Google should take away any and render them off the pictures that does not want to be there.
