After Yahoo launched YPN which is still in beta and is not accepting international publishers Ask.com is preparing to launch their own contextual ad network.
InterActiveCorp the company who owns Ask.com, Match.com, Ticketmaster, and Evite claims that they reached 34 million unique users per month and their new ad network will be incorporated into its Ask Sponsored Listings (ASL) platform. The launch of Ask contextual ad network should be expected at the and of the May for mid-sized publishers and for smaller publishers is expected later this year according to Clickz News.
The most strong point of AdSense it’s their high payouts which I guess Ask won’t be able to compare at, but this is only my opinion and we should wait for them to launch their new service and see the facts.

Seems to me like Google is trying to own everything as Matt Cutts, the head of web spam team of Google, just announced on his blog that users can report “paidlinks” using Google webmaster’s console.
That’s pretty crappy, he didn’t specified what “paidlinks” means for Google. I mean dir.yahoo.com is selling links, business.com is selling links, right ? What about Text Link Ads, ReviewMe or PayPerPost, they all are selling links in one form or an other.
Buying and selling links is a form of advertising like AdSense or AdWords and I sure think that is by far the most stupid idea from Google, therefore after a lot of comments on Matt’s post he did specified:
There’s absolutely no problem with selling links for traffic (as opposed to PageRank).
But how Google will be able to make that difference ?
In my opinion the Google idea of reporting paid links is somehow good but is not introduced correctly and Matt’s post is way to small and there are few specified details for such “a big feature” from Google, but who am I compared to Matt Cutts ?

The big Google has just acquired DoubleClick, a company with over 1500 clients who is the preferred partner of leading companies worldwide for a full range of digital advertising solutions. With almost a double amount of cash (yes you did read correctly, $3.1 billion in cash) which paid for YouTube, Google is expanding their advertising network.
At Google, we are constantly looking for new, innovative ways to make the information you want more accessible and more relevant—and to deliver it as fast as possible. Since Google’s inception, it has always been our intention to present users with highly targeted, useful advertisements when appropriate—ads that unobtrusively complement users experience. We have always believed in, and tirelessly pursued, the idea that serving relevant, unintrusive ads would best serve our advertisers in the long term.
Quote from Official Google Blog.
DoubleClick was founded in 1996 and it was taken private in 2005 by Hellman & Friedman and JMI Equity for $1.1 billion. Their revenues are estimated at about $300 million/year. Thanks TechCrunch for these details.

The Google’s Valentine’s Day logo is a little bit strange this year, I mean did they forgot the “L” from “googLe” or is hidden and nobody can see it.
I thought the “L” could be the strawberry tail but if is so it can be noticed very hard.
Anyway, with strawberry tail or not this Valentine’s Day logo is very funny. By the way I wish you a Happy Valentine’s Day”.

AdSense Blog just announced that there is a new program policy page for Google AdSense. The new version is more user friendly and easy to read. This is recommended for new AdSense users and also for old members just to re-familiarize themselves with the details.
I might add that Program Policy is very important for AdSense users because many people are banned from AdSense because they don’t read the Program Policy and obviously they violate the terms without even knowing that.
Call it getting a jump on spring cleaning: we’ve launched a new version of the AdSense Online Program Policies today. We’ve tried to make the format more readable, so those of you who start the day with a cup of coffee and a copy of the Program Policies may notice that much of the wording is new. Nearly all of the policies themselves have stayed the same, but we encourage everyone to take a look at the new version, if only to re-familiarize yourself with the details.

I don’t know if you noticed, I certainly didn’t but I read about this on a forum. There is not a big deal, Google updated their search pages and added some “Related Search” links on the bottom. In my opinion this will bring more traffic to web sites. For example your site is ranking better for “puppies for adoption” and if someone is searching “puppies for sale” it might be a chance to check out related searches.
