Sleepy, Sneezy, Dopey…and Pluto?

Pluto might have been kicked out of the orbit by some crazed astronomers; Disney is still sticking to it.

Also odd tit bit that I picked up from the net
Thought, I'll share it with all

Pluto the planet, 76, died Thursday in Prague, Czech Republic, when it was killed by the International Astronomical Union -- separated from the eight "classical planets" and lumped in with two similarly sized "dwarf planets."

No memorial service is planned, because it has been several years since astronomers considered Pluto a real planet.

How aptly put. I guess "My Very Educated Mother Just Showed Us Nine Planets" will never be the same again.

and in case we are wondering why pluto was disqualified, here it is

It is not Pluto's size -- 1,430 miles in diameter -- that disqualifies it. Pluto is out because its orbit -- 248 years to complete one journey around the sun -- carried it inside the orbit of Neptune from 1979 to 1999.

Give the little guy a break!!!! I thought slow and steady always wins the race....

Google AdSense Account Disabled

Today my google Adsense account got disabled (http://linuxlinks.bravehost.com) :-(.
The funny part is google gives no reason for this.

Hello Aditya Sehgal,

It has come to our attention that invalid clicks and/or impressions
have been generated on the Google ads on your site(s). We have
therefore disabled your Google AdSense account. Please understand that
this was a necessary step to protect the interest of the AdWords
advertisers.

I cant imagine why google does not state the exact reason as to why the account was disabled. Was it because of invalid clicks or invalid page impressions.

I wonder is it because the more google discloses the reasons the more people will find out ways to fool google and committing click fraud.

Something that google wrote really interested me.

Publishers disabled for invalid click activity are not allowed further
participation in AdSense and do not receive any further payment. The
earnings on your account will be properly returned to the affected
advertisers.

Yeah, right. As if google would pay back the advertisers.

The payout amount for google adsense account is 100$ i.e first you earn 100$ and then google will pay the amount. Though, in many cases , google does not pay even if you play there game honestly.
For me, it was zero investment zero return. So, it doesnt matter much. However, thinking of people who put actual effort and time into this, who have no money to host their sites on webservers and are dependent on money from ads to drive their costs, it must come as a real shocker to them.

Interesting point is, Google does not allow you to make money from adsense if you were disabled earlier. However, it has no problem in registering a disabled user, letting them earn some money and then pulling on the plug on them.

Absolute Power Corrupts....absolutely.
