Are You Suffering From G.A.S.S.?
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
Lately, I’ve been suffering from this syndrome. Unfortunately, I guess there’s no cure for it. If there is, I will vehemently avoid the medication.
Even when I’m in public places (it’s a no-no) , I can’t control myself not to suffer this contagious disease. I’ll always look for the opportunity to do it.
Before you think of any thing gross, let me clear myself.
GASS is a phenomenon that can hit any members of the Adsense Family. You’ve got to be a member in order for you to suffer this addictive syndrome.
GASS is the abbreviation of Google AdSense Stats Syndrome. According to Google Adsense Insider, ” The primary sign of affliction is the compulsive need to check AdSense stats every 15 minutes or so to see how much you’ve earned since your prior login.”
This compulsive disorder will sometimes bring uncontrolled urge for the patient to check their accounts even multiple an hour!
“Sufferers face strong withdrawal when separated from a PC with Internet access and have been known to experience mild abdominal discomfort and general irritability”, according to Rob, AdSense Product Marketing.
In order to minimize the negative effect of this syndrome to all Adsense family members, please let it be known that reports are generally updated every 15 to 30 minutes, but there can sometimes be a delay of up to 24 hours.
Sometimes when you see a “no data available” , don’t rush to your eye doctor. Your eyes are perfectly normal and not making a tricks on you. It can take up to 24 hours for Adsense “robo-accountant-auditor-doctor” to fully verify the internal logs and finalize your reports — as a result, you may sometimes see changes in your earnings during the course of the day.
Are you suffering from this syndrome? How often do you check your account?
WordPress Won 2009 Overall Best Open Source CMS Award
I think this is a good news for all Wordpress users.
Best WordPress Theme
WordPress has won the Overall Best Open Source CMS Award in the 2009 Open Source CMS Awards.
“From Blog Software to Full-Featured CMS”
Matt Mullenweg, the founding developer of Wordpress, was very excited to learn about the good news because it is the first time that Wordpress have won this award. This is no small feat because Wordpress was designed to be a “blog” software and not a CMS ( Content Management System).
Tied for runners up are MODx and SilverStripe.
Wordpress receives US$ 4,000 in prize money, while MODx and SilverStripe each receive US$ 2,500.
Aside from winning the top spot in the Overall Award, WordPress also made its way into the top five for the first time in Best Open Source PHP CMS Category.
According to the award site, WordPress outranked Drupal (Winner) by a very slight margin. I guess Wordpress has the best chance to win this category by next year.
Matt , in his blog, wrote “ Every member of the WordPress community, from core developer to beginning user, should be proud to be part of this momentum: congratulations to us all!”

SEO: Manny Pacquiao vs. Miguel Cotto Result
Pacquiao and Cotto’s fight is one of the best. A highly considered classic fight! One of the best boxing fight of all time. Both fighters gave all their strength, sweat and blood in the name of boxing. They did not fail their fans.
Cotto is too strong , but Pacquiao put on his dominating performance, utilizing his blazing speed and combination of power from both hands. Pacquiao knocked Cotto twice and turn his face into a river of blood. On the 55 seconds into the last round, Pacquiao stopped and defeated Cotto via TKO.
But, wait… this post is not about the fight. I want to discuss the tricks (not techniques) that other bloggers used not only to increase their SERP rank (Search Engine Result Page), but I want to specifically point out how they blatantly violated Adsense guidelines.
Here’s a (not-so) good example.
As you can see from this picture, the only text of this site are those in yellow ellipse. One of Adsense’s policies is for publisher not to “placed on any non-content-based page.” Content drives ads. I don’t know if you can call that page a “content-based” page, tell me.
Another example.
Just like the first example, the only content here is the one you can see on top and that’s it! It’s more like a sub-header than a content. I guess this 2nd example violated another Adsense policy – “not to : Placed on pages published specifically for the purpose of showing ads.” There’s nothing on that site except for Google adsense and Chitika ads on the left sidebar (Red ellipse).
And here’s a very tricky one. Read more
Wordpress Update 2.8.6
Just a quick update here.
This new version of Wordpress is not showing on my dashboard yet and probably not even on your site as well. I think this is a record breaker version also for the fastest security update since the previous version (23 days after the 2.8.5 upgrade).
It is always recommended to update to a new version of Wordpress as soon as possible and especially so for a security release .
This update fixes two security problems.
1. XSS vulnerability in Press This.
2. Sanitizing uploaded file names that can be exploited in certain Apache configurations.
Is this version really for you?
Here’s the straight fact: If you have untrusted authors on your blog, upgrading to 2.8.6 is recommended.
Really it’s up to you. This update was really unexpected.
There’s no harm in upgrading, though.

I’m doing my usual routine of dropping EC cards and visiting Adgitize ads when suddenly I saw a Blogger error. I was actually commenting to dedeandro.blogspot.com regarding his post about Adgitize when an error code bX-59cppw appeared.
Blogger Outage - bX-59cppw error code
I’ve tried to visit other blogspot that I know of and I realized the errors are all the same!
I went to Blogspot help site but still could not find a report on this one. I searched on Google but could not find a single results. I even tried Yahoo and Bing, still no results.
I waited for a few minutes and login again on Blogspot help forum. Suddenly an outburst of users started to flow regarding this bX-59cppw problem. In just few minutes the forum was bombarded from 5 to almost 300 furious users.
Checking on the Twitter status , you can see this tweet of Blogger:

The status is still the same after 2 hours.
