Miscellaneous news for 7th May 2008
You may remember the Neko-punch Google-slap I got for running Text Link Ads that I reported on last year. Having seen my income die horribly in AdSense then slowly wither through Text Link Ads, I finally decided to ditch TLA, then use Google’s Webmaster Tools to beg for my PageRank back. I did this on Sunday, and checking today I noticed I’d got my two lost ranks back. I’ll watch to see if this has any significant effect on my AdSense, although talking to another who was in the same boat I don’t hold out much hope.
I would say thanks to Bloomberg, but I don’t think they deserve it. I posted on Sunday about Shane’s tale of the poison gas recipe, and I see they’ve now updated their story to remove the unnecessarily-detailed information of how to make the gas.
Oh, and the animated neko punch (cat punch) gif above is doing the rounds of Japanese mobiles. I’ve set it up as the backdrop for all the various mail exchange actions on my phone too, so please feel free to steal it off me!

Congrats on getting your PR back Ken. I have seen more and more cases where TLA was not worth the trouble it caused.
