Drop in google adsense earnings Nov Dec 2010

by Leave a Comment

 

Have you noticed a recent drop in Google adsense earnings. I have too.. i decided to  use google’s own tool to investigate this issue ( Google UK Search). I information derived from the internet is pointing out  towards the  issue with blogs / websites not publishing the privacy policy that Google needs on all ad sense publishers blogs.

Drop in earnings ( google adsense) without warnings

As Google have changed the Terms and Conditions of their Adsense program, one of the requirements now is that all Adsense publishers should have a "Privacy Policy" on their websites. Below is the exact wording that has been added to the Terms and Conditions for Adsense publishers.

Drop in adsense earnings google-adsense

"You must have and abide by an appropriate privacy policy that clearly discloses that third parties may be placing and reading cookies on your user’s browser, or using web beacons to collect information, in the course of ads being served on your website. Your privacy policy should also include information about user options for cookie management."

There was another Google adsense Privacy policy Update on  23 March 2009

We have now updated the Google Adsense Privacy Policy Generator to include a mention about the DoubleClick DART cookie, which is now required by Google to be included in your privacy policy. You can read more about the DoubleClick DART Cookie on the following link …https://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/answer.py?answer=100557&sourceid=aso

 

Here are two links that might help you make your own Privacy policy for your blog / website

by 1 Comment

Yes its here ,but at what price ?? iiNet and iPrimus are the first australian ISP’S to  launch 1TB plans forhigh speed  internet connections

IINET PLAN : The plans offer 500GB peak and 500GB off-peak for customers who bundle their home phone with iiNet. ADSL1 customers can get the 1TB deal for $119 per month and ADSL2+ customers for $99 per month.

56/256Kbps

Plans are only available to iiNet  australian customers connected to an iiNet DSLAM ( Check with  Whirlpool’s Broadband Choice to see which ISPs have DSLAMs in your local telephone exchange)

Do make sure to read the  fine print. its one step forward with one step backward. It’s worth taking note that iiNet’s 1TB plan counts your upload and downloads, a catch that many ISPs only apply to their Naked DSL plans.

iPrimus announced a 1.1TB plan ($99 per month, or $119 per month for Naked DSL customers). That’s 511GB peak and 600GB off-peak – throttled to 256Kbps if you use your quota.Check if you are eligible  to get this plan in your area

The isp terrabyte wars are only going to get hotter  as we go forward and also the NBN Rolling out eventually while the customers are certainly going to be a happier lott.
