Search Engine Roundtable Stories:
- Nominate Search Engine Roundtable in the 2007 Search Blogs Awards
Loren Baker has opened up nominations for the annual 2007 search blog awards. I think we deserve a few nominations at the minimum. Wouldn't you agree? :) There are 24 categories and I bet you can fit Search Engine Roundtable into a few of those. For example, who rocks the house with conference coverage? Don't you think Barry is a very giving search blogger? So nominate us (and perhaps other some personal blogs too... cough) - Yahoo Search Marketing Disables Shoemoney's Account
According to Jeremy Schoemaker's blog, he has recently been terminated from the Yahoo Search Marketing program because 65% of his referrals to the YSM program are signing up with fraudulent credit cards. According to the lengthy email discourse, Yahoo has no way of tracking where these signups are occurring and naturally he's a bit upset. How can this problem be fixed? As many forum members say, it is really not Jeremy's responsibility. It's Yahoo's. I - Share Your Social Profile On Google
Who are you? Google wants to know. This past weekend, we learned of Google Profiles, a way for Google to learn about who you are, what you do, and provide any information about yourself.

There is discussion at a DigitalPoint Forums thread that Google is updating the visible toolbar PageRank scores. I personally did not look deep into this. Because (1) Toolbar PageRank is not all that significant and (2) I am very under the weather. Forum discussion at DigitalPoint Forums. - AdSense Reports Not Sorting Properly
Reports are coming from WebmasterWorld, Search Engine Roundtable Forum and DigitalPoint Forum that Google AdSense reports are not sorting properly. It was first reported December 13th at about 8pm (EST). In short, the numbers are simply not sorting correctly. On my "Overview" screen, when I click on "Top Channels" it is not sorting by "Earnings" as usual. I can't detect a sort field by the data presented, it seems either to be unsorted or sorted - Google Tests 2 x 2 AdSense Box Unit
Mugshot sent me a picture of this new Google AdSense ad unit over the weekend. Here it is: Honestly, at first, I wasn't sure if it was a brand new format. But after scanning the forum, it seems to be new. Forum discussion at WebmasterWorld and DigitalPoint Forums.
