Spam and AdSense

Wednesday Aug 31 2005

Two little tidbits, too small to justify a whole posting for each of them.

Manually submitted comment spam is coming


It seems Elliott got spammed too just like I did this week. At first I thought someone may have cracked Hashcash but it seems manual spam is slowly emerging, probably because our filters rock so hard. Mine came mostly from China, therefore you may block quite some of those by enabling the silly question / SpamQuiz option in Pivot-Blacklist. It will at least baffle those who don't speak English. If you have a non-English site it will be even more effective.

New ads section


Apparently some people earn loads of money with AdSense while I haven't even hit the $100 mark in over 6 months. Therefore I thought let's add some bigger ads to the site while keeping them from distracting the viewer / breaking the design. What do you think of it?

adsense op de betere plaatsen
i-marco.nl heeft een hele mooie plaats voor zijn adsense bij de artikelen die geplaats worden als je het archief door gaat kijken.
Heb maar even gevraagd waar hij die in de template had gestopt omdat ik daar al naar had lopen zoeken.
