Friendconnect is code named Friendsense - like Adsense, it will be used to get a lot of information about your websites , track the referrers and ultimately allow any one to sabotage your websites. When I was checking the logs of some of my websites, I was surprised to find some one researching how I [...]
Stuck in Google’s Doghouse
Big companies will always protect their own interests and there is little a small business can do if they are dependent on a single source of revenue / supplier. So I always look for new vendors for purchases, if the new vendor is good, I can get a better price and a [...]

So Google is stopping its feed for domains. They seem to have been working on this for some time, I have some parked domains . Based on the replies I have got, the parking company seems to have been monitoring conversions very closely, saying that some domains which earn 5$ + [...]
Domain Embarking loses Adsense feed
Another company losing their Adsense feed. When you start earning x amount from one company , it is better to diversify your revenue sources.

Social Network Inventory Not Monetizing
There so many stories about social networking websites, but I feel it will not take off in a big way as there is no use for the “friends” you make, many profiles are fake anyway. For teenagers and students, they are a good way to spend time, but they really do [...]
Google to kill domain tasting
Another example of how a single large player can make the rules and everyone complies. Most advertisers flock to Google because they have the fastest search engine, and it seems unlikely that anyone else to challenge their position. Though domain tasters may continue to check for traffic, I suppose the number [...]
