Why use Microsoft and Yahoo?
by Newspeak finder July 18, 2007 2:03 PM PDT
As Microsoft and Yahoo have chosen not to tell the public anything
about their policy the public has the option of not using them for
searches.

Everyone has options.

THE EU can look into practices of companies in the USA, while the "Dummies in Washington" can
sit on their hands,run their mouths, say nothing.
Well maybe DAH!

Our IT Security is no different than our National
Security issues and border protection. Ever wonder why numerous Federal agencies are having data leaks?

WAKE UP AMERICA...it is afterall the INFORMATION AGE !!!

I own a website and had a Google AdSense account. In the early days when I was getting information about earning money via my website, I came to know about Google AdSense. As an analyst I am always curious about what is happening behind the scenes, so I went through the AdSense ad generator code which can be easily download from Google's server, which they used to generate Ads.

To know more about PPC model of advertisement I had gone through number of articles/reports on Pay Per Click mechanism including the report of Dr. Tuzhilin (Professor of Information Systems at the Stern School of Business at New York University), who evaluated Google?s invalid click detection efforts (Find PDF Report [Source: http://ebiquity.umbc.edu/blogger/2006/07/25/revealed-how-google-manages-click-fraud/).

After going through all those articles and analyzing Google?s code I found a way to simulate human behavior in click generation and page impressions in proper (acceptable) ratio from different geographic location (IP address) and was able to credit thousands of dollars in my AdSense account (By not a single human being generated click).

So, do you realy think they are really having good things with them???
