I share Danny Yee's micro-advertising experiment, which indicates that influential weblogs like Robot Wisdom may provide more effective advertising results than Google's early search-based ad systems.
I've been conned by ads that look like Windows error messages before, but a court order has finally forced Bonzi to stop this deceptive practice. This marks a win against manipulative pop-up advertising tactics.
I highlight an eLab paper on CDNow’s advertising strategy, which critiques traditional CPM models as archaic. The study suggests that measuring advertisement performance is a more effective and modern approach to pricing online media.
I argue that since most people find websites through Google searches, paid advertising is likely a waste of money for general traffic. It only makes sense if you have a specific product or service to sell.
I explored Christophe's experiment on the monetary value of keywords via Google AdWords. His results identified 'free' as the most valuable term, worth approximately $7,500 a day in advertising revenue.
I checked out MIT's Blogdex, which crawls weblogs to find trending links and provide current information. I also shared resources for finding active weblogs and a detailed essay on the history of the medium.
