Google is planning a new ­version of its search engine – designed for TV screens – that the company’s co-founder and its chief executive believe will rival traditional broadcasting.

Yes, and they are one step ahead by the introduction of click-to-play video ads. Google video ads first appear on Web pages as static screenshots in small television-screen like boxes. Only when you click on the screen, the ad begins running inside the box, giving you control over how much or how little you want to view. Besides, the targeting is more powerful than traditional broadcast TV. In other words, this will be a big threat to traditional broadcasters.

How to get 49% more AdSense revenue

I’ve watched Michael Cheney’s Adsense Video Part 1 and learnt a lot from that. Blending the ads is the vital key of getting more clicks. Never use the default adsense template because everybody will recognize them as ads. Use the same colour of your links for adsense link but not for URL colour. For URL and text colour, you are advised to use the same colour as your contents.

And the most basic part of blending, never use a border. For a long article, you can put three adsense units in between the article - at the top, in the middle, and at the bottom. For this purpose, three columns are not preferable, because you need a wider horizontal column for content, so that the ads can be blended perfectly.

Use your side column to put Google search box. Put links unit at the top of the page, so that it looks like the navigation menu for your site. That’s all. According to Inside AdSense, owner of Dogbreedinfo.com, Sharon Maguire doubled her AdSense revenue to $650 per day.

MPAA is accused to pay $15,000 to a hacker to steal email correspondence and trade secrets of Torrentspy. Torrentspy also stated that the man involved has admitted his role in the plot. But this is denied by the MPAA’s vice president.

“These claims (by Torrentspy) are false,” Kori Bernards, the MPAA’s vice president of corporate communications, said in an e-mail to CNET News.com. “Torrentspy is trying to obscure the facts to hide the fact that they are facilitating thievery. We are confident that our lawsuit against them will be successful because the law is on our side.”

Torrentspy actually do not host any copyrighted materials but they offer links to download the materials. For this time being, The Pirate Bay is the most invincible torrent site. For them legal threats are only daily jokes.
