That was exactly the problem. I walked out of the keynote along with ~60 others around 40 minutes into it. Ridiculous. It was an atrocity.

Not a definitive list but if you were interested in mesothelioma (and who isn't?) you might get $50 clicks on adsense: http://www.cwire.org/highest-paying-search-terms/ That article is not exhaustive, is disputed as inaccurate, should be

Provisional patents are $150. They give you a year to file a utility patent (the expensive one) but neither should set you back $10k unless you really like your IP lawyers. http://www.dumblittleman.com/2006/12/how-to-stamp-patent-pen...

Did you notice the huge CTR rate drop when Google changed the clickable area from the entire ad unit to just the link?

Why don't you click on ads? Why don't you like ads?

Do you like ads? Do you click on ads? Do you pay attention to ads?

Seriously? No Effort > Effort. Relevant to context > irrelevant to context. Or you can use adpinion.com instead of adsense. You've been asking a lot of fundamental adsense related questions - have you seen wolf-howl.com or digitalpo

I once spent 2 years on an idea that never got off the ground. I wouldn't do that again. At 6 years you should either do it right now and stop screwing around (what was that post? Do it fucking now?) or put it to bed forever. The try and fa

You can backorder it if it's set to expire soon (I've done that with GoDaddy - they lock you in for 90 days after you use their service to register). You can use a service like afternic's assisted offers: http://www.afternic.com/uoffer.php

Used to happen to me a lot when I hacked in C. Not so much in PHP. I'm not sure if it's memory handling abstraction or experience. Lately this sort of thing has crept into subtle flaws in business models and ideas.

$50 is not enough to even begin to know what you're doing with Adwords. Read "Winning Results with Google AdWords" by Andrew Goodman and put it to work with a reasonable budget.
