  Google AdSense Video Ads, Video Ad Overlays

  Posted: February 15th, 2010, 2:57pm CET by rustybrick

  Tags:  Google AdSense  

  Two DigitalPoint Forum threads have reports, of what I think are new ad formats by Google. These Google AdSense ads have a play button in them, that launch a video ads directly above the ad.

  Here are pictures, one of the pictures is from rudefox.com:

  I believe Google has test these types of ads in the past - but I do not see them all that often.

  A Living Link Building Journal

  Posted: February 15th, 2010, 2:47pm CET by rustybrick

  Tags:  Link Building  

  There is an excellent thread at WebmasterWorld that is basically a webmaster's journal of his link building efforts for a specific site. Wheel, a senior member, started the thread about a week ago, saying:

  I've just launched a new website and am going to back it up with a link building campaign. I'm going to document my link building here, and welcome any comments.

  Notes:
  - link building pros will find this boring. Perhaps small indie business owners will find this useful (which is what I am).
  - I'm starting out with great content. I'm in a competitive niche and a regular old website won't cut it.
  - I'm looking for 'people' to give me links, not 'sites'.
  - I expect folks will find I don't have a lot of surprises.
  - current stats, Google has

  Since then, the thread is now 30 or so messages deep. The thread takes you through Wheel's link building journey for one of his sites. I am sure some of us can learn a thing or two from just reading through this thread.

  Let me just quote one of the responses from another senior member at the forum:

  Nice :) this thread should be printed and pinned on many many walls ..how to get links with style and intelligence :)
