I must apologize to my regular readers for this site’s inactivity this week. I’ve had some issues with the WordPress blog being too much of a resource hog and causing me problems with my hosting service. At this point I’ve enabled caching (via WP Super Cache) and I’ve updated the Redirection plugin to the latest [...]

I’m sure some AdSense publishers felt a bit sick today seeing their earnings. For some reason, the stats shown in the AdSense console stopped updating early this morning (Pacific time) and were static for most of the day. They’ve started updating, finally, but they’re still way behind where they should be. (Or else I’ve having [...]

Looks like Google’s flagged this site as harboring malware, for some reason. If you do a site:memwg.com search on Google you’ll see what I mean. All my pages are being shown in the SERPS with the warning “This site may harm your computer”. Let me assure you that there’s nothing bad on this site that [...]

I’m back! It took me a good week to recover from that allergic reaction, but I’m off most of the drugs now. Still feeling a bit weak from my experience, but overall things are OK. The next big project is to finish my income taxes, which are due in a couple of days

If you were wondering why I dropped off the face of the earth suddenly, it’s because last Friday I had an allergic reaction to something I ingested either that day or the day before. It was a major reaction that entailed three visits to the hospital and intravenous medication. Luckily, it wasn’t a fatal reaction, but the next one could be.

I’m looking for some ideas for useful (or semi-useful) free online tools I could write as a way to garner some link love for this blog. Actually, I have several ideas in mind but who knows if anyone else would find them useful. So I thought I’d just ask my readers what they’d like to see and do a bit of market research that way…

Speaking of AdSense books, today I coincidentally received a copy of the latest royalty report for Make Easy Money With Google: Using the AdSense Advertising Program, the book that was the genesis for this blog. As of December 31, 2007, just over 6300 copies of MEMWG have been sold.

It’s been a while since AdSense publishers have heard from Joel Comm, but today Joel has released AdSense Secrets 4.0, the latest version of his bestselling AdSense ebook. I’m downloading it right now as I write this. It’s big — over 200 pages. I’ll post a detailed review later.
The new version costs only $9.95, which is a big price drop from the previous versions. However, some caveats:

AdSense publishers cannot use AdSense on adult-oriented sites. This has been a long-standing policy of Google’s. To quote the relevant part of the AdSense program policies:
Sites displaying Google ads may not include … pornography, adult, or mature content
