AdSense Earnings Down? By Jason Lee Miller - Thu, 01/31/2008 - 3:59pm. Read more... Appears that way for some There's word around the Webmaster World forum that publishers have been experiencing a sharp decline in AdSense earnings over the past month. There's been little consensus, lots of possible explanations, but nothing you might call conclusive. A small poll at Search Engine Roundtable (43 participants as of this writing) shows just over half reporting a decrease in AdSense earnings, the other half reporting that things are on the level or increasing. It's hard to say that's a representative sample with just 40 respondents, but it does match a bit with the reports at Webmaster World: some are losing, some aren't. Many plausible explanations have been proffered without any real, thorough site examinations, as no URLs have been given by those complaining. The center of conversation though, has been around Google's "smart pricing," and whether that is the cause of lower returns on ad clicks.

Rookyoga groot succes. De eerste meditatie sigaret, die in Nederland is geintroduceert door de bekende yoga docent Darshan Dilip Manmatha blijkt een groot succes. De sigaretten, die per 20 stuks in een fliptopbox over de toonbank gaan voor €3,80, zijn voorlopig alleen te koop bij reformwinkels onder de merknaam Yoga. De tabak, die afkomstig is van onbespoten velden in Afghanistan en Libanon, heeft een vaak donkere kleur en geeft een geurige rook die volgens Manmatha heilzaam is voor de geest.
