Clicksor Banned in Google ?

It seems ad program is finding difficult to make it onto top of google search, most likely because clicksor.com is banned in Google since only banned domains don’t appear at the top of their name (specially if you are a brand)

clicksor.com is at #1 on both yahoo and msn search but is at #47 for its own name, clearly a sign of something not right with google and clicksor. If you enter Clicksor in google, you can see the following front page results -

Use Digg as URL Shortening Service

Last week I had reported about Diggbar and how this will make users not leave digg and how it can increase overall page views count on digg many folds.

Now as a digg user, you can get another feature (not intended though) with diggbar and that is to use it as url shortening service. It may sound funny but with urls like these http://digg.com/d1o6PE, I think it will certainly appeal to many, specially when many popular url shortening services are banned in forums due to spammer using them for spamming by using redirection once their urls get banned in those forums.

What is Good eCPM

For those of you who don’t know, eCPM stands for “effective cost per thousand impressions” and is calculated as your earnings divided by total impressions (in thousands) on your websites through which you made that money.

So for example, if you have made $40 out of 20,000 impressions, your eCPM will be 40/20 = 2.00, and supposed if you had made $80 out of 20,000 impressions than your eCPM would had been 80/20 = 4.00. eCPM is normally spoken with the currency name in which you have made money, so your effective CPM will be $2.00 or $4.00 in these cases.
