Cross Country Road Trip (Dec 10 2004 21:59 GMT) - Starting November 13th, I took a roadtrip across the nation - beginning in New Orleans, LA, and ending in Seattle, WA. I honed my skills at shooting my digital from moving vehicles - such as this shot of a breezy (experimental aircraft) shot from an autogyro (another experimental aircraft) in Lafayette, LA. On a road trip through Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona, and up the Left Coast, one can see unusual things, such as a snowstorm in the Mojave. Shooting from the car was the norm on this trip, like these pictures from West Texas of a tree and an oil well. This is a railside grain mill also in West Texas, which we left to drive through the middle of nowhere and observe a very memorable sunset in New Mexico. |

Berlusconi acquitted Italian prime minister ... (Dec 10 2004 21:57 GMT) - Berlusconi acquitted Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi has been acquitted of corruption charges. He was charged with bribing judges as a businessman in the 1980s in a trial that threatened to put an end to his reign. Most observers had expected him to be convincted, so this can hardly be described as anything but a total vindication. |

PPC Fraud (Dec 10 2004 21:56 GMT) - In some markets (again, the more competitive, the more problematic) click-fraud can be blamed for anything up to 50% of all the clicks by those running campaigns, but the genuine 50% still pays off well, or at least, well enough. In the more niche or targeted terms, click-fraud is virtually unknown. Contextual advertsing doesn't help decrease fraudulent and/or spurious clicks, since many webmasters (despite orders) still attempt to push their audience into making clicks to support their site, instead of the advertiser's site. The engines try to stop it, but human nature is such that it will always have a tendancy to happen, and the SE staff can't be everywhere. |
