Over the past ten days I’ve been ‘on the road’ with my family taking a vacation. We traveled west of Melbourne to the wine regions of South Australia (and bought WAY too much wine). After 11 hours drive home (how many times can a guy listen to the Wiggles!) I’m home again for a few days before taking off to SXSW.
While I was gone a number of stories, links and posts came around that I thought I’d catch up everyone on:
- AdSense updated it’s Terms and Conditions – most of it is simply tweaks to accommodate for new products (their video product particularly) however there is one important thing to note – all publishers are now expected to ‘abide by a transparent privacy policy that users see. According to this policy, publishers must notify their users of the use of cookies and/or web beacons to collect data in the ad serving process.’ Jen has more on this and the other changes here.
- Domain Name Tool – just before I went away I found this great little tool call MakeWords for helping to find domain names. Warning – it’s addictive and potentially expensive.
- Freelance Blogging for Side Income – Skellie has a helpful post on how to make a few extra dollars as a freelance blogger.
The Next Two Weeks at ProBlogger
I hope you’ve been enjoying the guest posts that I’ve been publishing this past couple of weeks. In the two weeks ahead while I’m in SXSW (I’m leaving for Austin today) expect to see a mixture of posts – more guest appearances, a series of posts from me on blog promotion (next week) and hopefully a few posts live from sessions at SXSW.
And lastly a quick video (and a good example of linkbait from banner blindness I guess):
