Yesterday, my Google AdSense account got disabled for no apparent fault of mine! After having my AdSense account for more than two years, it was really shocking to see this kind of action from Google. When I dug into the click pattern, I observed that somebody had click-bombed one of my other blogs where AdSense was present. At one point this blog had 25 clicks from the same number of impressions.
While awaiting the result of my appeal to the Google AdSence support team, I decided to move to Chitika Premium ads. I had used Chitika eMinimalls a couple of years ago but this one seems to be a more attractive proposition and an AdSense alternative as it focuses only on search traffic.

I have been receiving these campaign mails from one of the founders of KPMRS for a while now. Initially, I was wondering what this funny acronym was and never really cared to open the site.

Twitter had an amazing run ever since the hype picked momentum in late 2008. The first half of 2009 witnessed the twitter traffic growing five fold but the story seems to be reversing since August where it has started showing slow decline in terms of traffic.
The compete profile of twitter.com shows a 2% decline (Nielsen and MarketingVox reports 27% decline!) of traffic in October whereas the trend has flattened out since June itself. This is not a good sign at all as majority of the leading social networks (except Orkut, may be) are still keeping their traffic growth in the positive zone.
