A amazing little script for adsense but…

Friday, May 11th, 2007

Is this site breaking the TOS ?

 hmmm.. By the looks of it yes but maybe its a premium account holder..

Anyway it look really cool..

 

 

Here is the code that not only styles up the ads but opens the in a new window.. I’ve never seen anything like this before:

function google_ad_request_done(google_ads) { if (google_ads.length < 1 ) return; if (google_ads[0].type == 'text') { for(i = 0; i < google_ads.length; ++i) { document.write("

“); } } if (google_info.feedback_url) { document.write(”Baby Ads by Google“); } else { document.write(”Baby Ads By Google”); } }

 

Function is interesting.. Taken from http://www.askbaby.com/

Spotted on DP here

Grey PR on all new pages even after being indexed..

Thursday, May 3rd, 2007

 

Yesterday I posted about the grey bar for new page in which my meaning of new was unindexed pages.. OK .. My thinking was the fact once indexed the page will go to pr0 fine..
http://www.seohome.co.uk/2007/05/02/grey-bar-for-new-pages/ 

So today i’ve checked out a post on SERT that has been indexed..
see here

 

But if you visit the page then your see no page rank info..

This is pretty massive when link building as before you would keep away from grey PR as it would mean the site was banned..

That he thought we will see Grey PR till the next update and at present it look like that might be the case..
