Communication Nation: And, well, that whole blog thing? A: Because these systems operate on the alien logic of probabilistic statistics, which sacrifices perfection at the microscale for optimization at the macroscale. (via Cosmos)
Surfarama: It is a PPC model so if he don’t get no clicks, Google don’t get paid…that’s the whole idea. He might be getting some impressions, but so what… (via Cosmos)
Fractals of Change: Much more likely it disappeared because of trouble TypePad (the hosting service that Chris and I both use) has been having all day. I had to rebuild this site to recover the last week's posts and Chris probably just hasn't done that yet. (via Cosmos)
The Long Tail: Tom Elvsin extends my experiment in getting free impressions from Google AdWords and applies it AdSense, text ads running on third-party sites: "The advertisers benefit by repeat display of the name of their products. Google benefits because it does gets paid for the occasional click. (via Cosmos)
Infamy or Praise: Just as Baker accepts that a certain number of freebies will pass Able's way, Google accepts that advertisers like Anderson will get a certain number of free ad impressions -- those appearances of the ad which do not generate a click-though by a viewer. However, just as Able wasn't permitted to drive business away from Baker's shop to reap more freebies for himself, I think Anderson's on shaky legal ground driving prospective ad-clickers away from his ads and denying Google their reasonably-anticipated AdWords revenues from him.

Location Based Services: The Long Tail: Cheating Google 101 I wanted to understand clickfraud a bit better, so I started advertising this blog on Google and trying to see what sort of fraud it could catch. Then when I had finished the experiments I left the ads running. (via Cosmos)
bare feet studios :: blog: If your steak doesn’t live up to the sizzle, people won’t buy (at least not more than once.) Also, unfortunately, there’s been more than one case of someone’s competitors merrily clicking away to burn up the budget (Google has worked hard to stop that.) (via Cosmos)
[Web2con.com] Web 2.0 Conference: Rojo co-founder Christopher Alden says that the new model of publishing is built around immediacy, participation, and commonly available tools for authoring and aggregating content. In his Web 2.0 workshop "Publishing 2.0" he contrasted traditional main stream media with the blogosphere saying "People may not trust one particular blogger but they do trust the aggregate truth of the blogosphere."
[Feedblog.org] Kevin Burton's Feed Blog: Jeff just linked to a new Neilson study that reveals only 11% of blog readers use RSSand that a whooping 66% of blog readers don't even know what RSSis. These figures should be a bit sobering for VCs and the restof Silicon Valley because not only do 100% of VCs seem to know what RSSis but it seems like 66% of them have already invested in an RSS/Blogrelated start-up.
[Buzzmachine.com] BuzzMachine » Blog Archive » Squidoo: I use google or yahoo to give me options/choices - based on what I need to find - what level of detail - mostly not determined until I see the choices, then I choose an entry. The idea of somebody pre-establishing a starting point for me is not appealing.
