AdSense Bad For Bloggers I take it back! Darren, over at ProBlogger, says that he earned between $10,000-$20,000 last month from AdSense.

[EDIT] Back on again, please report any problems. Suggestions that I have found useful include: Apache mod_security, Spam Valve, Bad behavior, WP Hashcash and Referer Bouncer I have already implemented a couple of these and am in the […]
[Continue Reading...]I apologize for the delay in the judging of the Plugin Competition. I am sure the judges are really busy and we will get the results soon. The time taken is due to the varied installs and the requirements of each of the entries. I hope to have all the results in and tallied and the winners announced by the end of this week.
