After A While, AdMob Users Should Move To AdSense Mobile

It just made sense, after Google acquired mobile ad-network AdMob November 2009 it’s just about time they integrate AdMob with their current AdSense platform.

We recently received email from the AdMob team to register for an AdSense account and start using AdSense for mobile for monetizing content. The email also indicates some sort of deadline, September 30th 2011 for publishers to go “uninterrupted”

Here’s the full email

Dear AdMob Mobile Web Publisher,

Following the acquisition of AdMob by Google, we have continued to operate parallel products for mobile web publishers on both the AdSense and AdMob platforms. To ensure we offer a single best solution for mobile web publishers, we will be focusing our efforts on the AdSense platform going forward. On September 30, 2011, we are beginning this transition to the AdSense platform and will discontinue support for WAP mobile web on the AdMob network.

All publishers who are currently using AdMob’s WAP mobile web solution are asked to register for an AdSense account and begin using the Google AdSense for mobile content. This change enables Google to offer our mobile web publishers an industry leading content monetization solution with access to advertisers interested in reaching your mobile audience.

We encourage you to use Google AdSense to monetize your mobile webpages going forward. Google AdSense for mobile provides you many of the same features with more flexible reporting tools. Implementing Google AdSense now will allow you to continue monetizing your mobile content after September 30 without disruption.

To get started using Google AdSense for mobile, visit google.com/adsense and log in with a Google Account. If you don’t have a Google Account, you can create an account for free at https://www.google.com/accounts/NewAccount. Once you have been approved as an AdSense publisher, simply log in to your account to create a new mobile ad unit and generate ad code for your site. If you are already an existing AdSense publisher, you can create a new mobile ad unit to start monetizing your mobile site right away.

For questions about this transition, please visit http://helpcenter.admob.com/content/admob-mobile-web-sunset. For additional support on Google AdSense, visit the Help Center at http://www.google.com/support/adsense/.

Sincerely,

The Google AdMob Team

Final Proof: Internet Explorer Users Are NOT the Sharpest Tools in the Box

Internet Explorer 6 has just become the new euphemism for calling people stupid. And it’s not just IE6, it’s pretty much anyone who uses Internet Explorer.

Of course, calling people stupid is not particularly PC these days, so one has to back up such name-calling with hardcore science. Thankfully for anyone predisposed to calling people names, we now have the data. According to a recent study conducted by Canadian company, AptiQuant, people who use IE 6 were found to have an IQ lower than 80 (on average). The study, titled “Intelligence Quotient (IQ) and Browser Usage” took into account the type of browser usage among 101,326 individuals over 16 years old. Chrome and Firefox users had an average IQ of 110, while Opera and Camino users had an average IQ of 120.

Naturally, many will see the results of this study as nothing but pseudo-scientific nonsense, after all, there are bound to be very intelligent people who use IE6. Such criticism however, would belie the almost universally accepted truth among web users: people who use IE6 are not very sharp. And it’s not just IE6; people who use Bing are also considered “slow”. That’s been the sentiment for years, with many advertisers caring to only target people using Google Adwords for the savvy of Google’s user base.

The results of the study will, I am sure, affect people in one extreme or the other, but what can’t be denied however, is the fact that some people are just not as smart as others. In the grand scheme of things it’s really not a big deal—some people are tall, some are short. We just now know that the no-so-smart people are Internet Explorer fans.

Perhaps the study was commissioned by Microsoft in an effort to get people to ditch IE6. What do you think? Watch the video below to see how IE6 tests against its modern versions.

Google Search Alerts Users About Malware

Google will start alerting users when malware is found in their systems. It would warn the users through search results. This new service is designed to give users an additional later of security. It is not meant to be a replacement of antivirus software but it could be an essential feature for people who don’t take malware seriously.

This is the first time that Google implemented security features outside of its Chrome browser and Android Market. The warnings in the search results could be useful in some degree but the users are still responsible for the safety of their computers.

Google said that it could only detect malware that have already affected the machine. It could not prevent viruses from infecting the system. You still need antivirus software to clean the system. People who ignore computer security will benefit from this new service from Google.

Google detected a certain malware by noting unusual patterns of activity in search traffic when performing routine maintenance of its data centers. It determined that the computers that showed odd behavior were infected with a certain type of malicious software that causes computers to send traffic to Google via a number of proxy servers. A warning will be displayed on top of the users’ search results if their computer is infected.
