Digital Money World Takes Accion & Ogles that Ogre Google
(FranchisePick.com The franchise blog) For the worthy cause of Accion International, Moneypenny at Digital Money World has chosen to blog about the adsurdities of the Google PPC program. (There is talk of a prize for related puns, which is exactly the wrong thing to let me know). And while I can certainly ad-words to the discussion, I cannot promise to ad-sense to it in the least.
Check out her first post ADSENSE NONSENSE MAKES NO SENSE, in which Moneypenny complains about the difficulty of getting her Adsense account set-up. (After hearing her complain, it’s little surprise she runs one of the top 100 whine blogs).
How we pay for Google’s “free” services is a very complete and somewhat chilling look at Google’s strategy and its own monetization and information gathering strategy. What’s even more chilling is that it’s a guest post from someone named Hamlet Batista. While it’s a great article, could someone really be named Hamlet Batista? Was this the love child of a Shakespearean actress and a deposed Cuban dictator? Or a character from a story written by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Douglas Adams and a big old bottle of mezcal?
Check out her post: Adsense answers. Accion makes sense. In it, moneypenny quotes from an article by a teenage dot.com millionaire who made a couple hundred pounds from Adsense, then got banned for violating some term of service that they wouldn’t explain. No appeal, no explanation, no second chance. I had exactly the same experience except I’m not teenaged millionaire and I’ve gained, but not made, a couple hundred pounds while on Google.
So take Accion: check out Digital Money World and leave a message quickly before GOOGLE sends a death pulse and erases her entire site.

Sean you are such a ham. I tell you what’s keeping me going. You. you’ve got me laughing so hysterically over your post, that I spilt the dregs of my earl grey on my laptop, and the cat is looking at me as if I need some help as I try to laugh quietly but hysterically while the rest of Italy sleeps. It’s taken me 10 minites to type this. I swear the name is real, or so I’m told.

A winner we have a winner!
Sean I can;t pay you out your prize in cash, but I can, as you suggested, transfer the prize to Hamlet Battista, who wrote such a great post on Google. Do you agree.

Hamlet Battista did write a great article. So great, in fact, Google has probably deleted him. If I owned a diner, I’d name an omelette after him and serve it with a Cuban cigar and a free sonnet.
What are you doing in Italy? Why don’t you have one of the required b5 bios? Are you a covert b5 blogger with special security clearance? Is Moneypenny your real name?
You crack me up! … What’s keeping you so fresh at this hour Sean?
I just hide my meds under my tongue until the Nurse Ratched isn’t watching, then ditch them in the potted plant in the day room. It gives me a burst of energy… and lots of great ideas until the orderlies go get the restraints.
