What is Google Wave? A “wave” is equal parts conversation and document, where people can communicate and work together with richly formatted text, photos, videos, maps, and more.

Here’s how it works: In Google Wave you create a wave and add people to it. Everyone on your wave can use richly formatted text, photos, gadgets, and even feeds from other sources on the web. They can insert a reply or edit the wave directly. It’s concurrent rich-text editing, where you see on your screen nearly instantly what your fellow collaborators are typing in your wave. That means Google Wave is just as well suited for quick messages as for persistent content — it allows for both collaboration and communication. You can also use “playback” to rewind the wave and see how it evolved.

Right now, some bloggers and webmasters are integrating Adsense for search boxes on their websites so that their users can allow to search for keywords, articles or posts and at the same time earning a chance to get click revenue. But I have been asking myself (or maybe some out there are also wondering) if it is okay or fine to use our own Google Adsense for Search boxes to search keywords, articles or posts in our own site? The answer is yes, it is fine to use it as long as you don’t click on the Ads that appear in the results page. Does this violates Google’s program policies to perform searches in our own Adsense for search boxes? Read the rest of this entry »

After Google Adsense Optimization Update, and for about 3 months of testing their Google Adsense’s sliding or scrolling text ads which we have seen and noticed sometime last December 2007, Adsense officially announced it in their blog yesterday April 2, 2008. And for the record, clicks on the ‘next’ and ‘previous’ buttons won’t generate earnings, but these buttons will help improve both advertiser value and your potential revenue. When users click on the buttons, they begin interacting with the ads and are more likely to find the specific offering they’re looking for, which can lead to higher earnings for you.

After months of testing, we’ve just updated our text ad format to include ‘next’ and ‘previous’ arrow buttons for cost-per-click (CPC) ads. When a user clicks on the ‘next’ button, an entirely new group of ads will appear in the ad unit, giving your users greater control over the ads they see and click.

While the ads the user initially sees may be relevant to a publisher’s content, they may not be precisely what the user is seeking — for example, a user may see ads about cheddar and brie cheese but would prefer more information about Swiss cheese. With the ‘next’ and ‘previous’ buttons, users can view more cheese ads until a Swiss cheese ad appears.

How about you Google Adsense publishers, what’s your take on this scrolling CPC text ads format?

Just after reading some blogs about pagerank dropping down 1 to 4 notches, I am quite relieved and excited to have read a post from McBilly, that Google or Big G also gives away pagerank and is updating.

So I check at Prchecker.info and DigPageRank.com just to be sure if the pagerank of this site, Nierva dot Com, had added up. True enough and a valid one, I have now a PR3 coming from PR0.
