<description><![CDATA[the National Legal and Policy Center today released a document demonstrating the threat to personal privacy posed by Google and Google products. Simply using Google Street View and Google Earth, the Center compiled a startlingly comprehensive amount of personal information on a top Google executive in less than 30 minutes, including the license plates of cars outside the executive's home, the landscaping company the executive uses and even the name of the next door neighbor's home security company. The report also includes the distance from the street to the executive's front door, the most likely driving route the executive would take to Google's Mountain View headquarters and photos of the stop signs, stoplights and intersections the executive would pass along the way. The Center is publicly releasing the document today to highlight the invasiveness of these Google technologies to individual privacy.<br/><br/>2 Vote(s) ]]></description>

The text ads that work are different in the content network too. I'm still working it out, but I'm analyzing the context of the ad, what the user may be after on the page, then creating an ad that will address that. Not address keywords, but address user behavior.<br/><br/>1 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Good link bait suggestions from SES Toronto:Hedger encourages linkbaiters to be a pal and be a source to bloggers. This of course comes with a few golden rules:Never tell a journalist of blogger something that you don't want everyone to know. Keep it simple. Each story is complicated help interested writers to get it right. Know your audience. Learn the interests and passions of your favorite writers. Understand if they will be interested in your information. Always be honest. There is nothing worse for the credibility for all bloggers than to have a few bad apples who manufacture &quot;news&quot; and tell tales. Start early. Establish yourself early on to help you become well known within your space.<br/><br/>4 Vote(s) ]]></description>
