From: Chris NielsenGoogle is already starting to address this with their Site Targeted option. I expect them to move to that system for all of their content networks, or at least those that are questionable. The bigger partners shouldn't need to use fraud. The answer is simple. Just remove the process by which fraud is committed. Once we have flat-rate advertising, the only way to use fraud is to generate bogus duplicate impressions. Impressions without conversions (real conversions) will cause the advertiser to drop the site. A side benefit of this for publishers should be more consistent income levels. Thanks, Chris Nielsen http:/www.DomainIncubation.com ----------------------------------------------------------------- // -- ESSENTIAL NEWS -- // ----------------------------------------------------------------- ==> Yahoo! Search Distributed With HP http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/business/1700AP_Yahoo_HP.html Essentials: HP computers sold in North American will ship with Yahoo! Search populated in the Microsoft Internet Explorer search toolbar by default. This represents several million computers that will help Yahoo! compete against the Microsoft sandtrap, where typically all computer defaults lead to Microsoft's software and services. Additionally for Yahoo!, European HP computers will have the IE7 default homepage set to Yahoo!. ----------------------------------------------------------------- ==> W3C Meta Nofollow With Link Text Ads http://blog.searchenginewatch.com/blog/060927-074214 Essentials: Danny points to a John Battelle interview with Matt Cutts where Matt says the W3C's use of Meta nofollow and not the hypertext (link) nofollow attribute, is perfectly acceptable. The only difference between the two is that the Meta container would be page-wide instructions, and Matt's nofollow attribute would be for the specific links where it appears. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Stay Tuned.
