Google to Report URLs for All AdSense Ads

ROI-obsessed marketers historically kvetch about the lack of controls in their Google AdSense campaigns. In the early days of the ad network, they hated that they couldn't specify different prices for their ads. More recently, advertisers were granted pricing controls, but they still weren't permitted to know on which Web pages their ads appeared.

Starting this month they can. In a phased rollout beginning today, all AdWords users in the U.S. and overseas will be offered customized reports telling them exactly where their network ads have displayed and giving them site performance metrics by domain, URL, impression, click, conversion and cost.

Called a Placement Performance report, the new measurement offering promises to let AdWords customers identify which sites perform best according to their campaign objectives and which don't pass muster. They can then use Google's site exclusion tools to eliminate poorly performing sites from their buys.

Brian Axe, director of product management for AdSense, called the report good for publishers, advertisers and users alike. And he said Google's machine-learning systems will be able to improve overall relevance across AdSense by observing how marketers use the reports.

European Union Proposes Stricter Online Regulations

Certain government officials are seeking to prevent a European Union dictate that could possibly extend stricter broadcasting regulations to the internet, subsequently hitting popular video-sharing websites such as YouTube.
A recent report said that the European Commission proposal would require websites and mobile phone services that feature video images to conform to standards laid down in Brussels.
Critics fear that the directive would hit not only sites such as YouTube and MySpace but also amateur "video bloggers" who post material on their own sites. In the case of the proposed regulations, personal websites would have to be licensed as a "television-like service."

Q: Hi. I am a big fan of yours. My girlfriend doesn't like to have sex with me all the time because my cock is 9 inches and that's too big for her. I have had other girls show interest in me that just want sex from me who like a man with a big cock. So what should I do?

A: Need a date? Just kidding. Try some different positions. Let her get on top, that way she can control how much of that schlong goes in. Don't try to kill her with it. Let her adjust to it and make it enjoyable. Her pussy will break in, just be gentle with it for a while. Learn to use only half of it. When you master fucking with only part of your dick, then you're on your way to being a great lover. If you love your girl, who cares about other chicks. So they can handle a big dick...Whippppi!

Q: Dear Dr. Sex I am 22 years old and have for many years been trying to find that almighty "G" Spot. Is there a medical way to find this or am I imagining things?

A: Yes, you can go and pick up various books about the "G" spot (Graffenberg Spot) and study up on the theory. I can find it based on the texture and also the girl's reaction when I touch it. A "G" spot orgasm is awesome! ... (more)

Paris Hilton was born on February 17th, 1981, to Rick and Kathy Hilton, making her the great-granddaughter of Conrad Hilton, founder of the Hilton hotels and source of the family fortune.

Paris younger sister, Nicky (born in 1983), shares the throne as co-heiress of the Hilton empire.

So, around the year 2000, Paris decided to branch out and become famous. She began to make a name for herself as a model, soon appearing in shows for designers such as Marc Bouwer and Catherine Malandrino, and she later completed an ad campaign for Iceberg, an Italian label. In addition, Paris has posed for spreads in national magazines such as GQ, Vanity Fair and FHM, and has also been profiled, along with her sister, in People magazine. In May of 2006, Maxim magazine ranked Hilton #38 on its annual Hot 100 list.

At the same time, Paris became the center of attention because of her relationships (real or imagined by the paparazzi) with some of Hollywood's hottest young stars. Paris has recently grabbed headlines thanks to a makeout session with notorious lesbian, Ingrid Casares, and the rumor of a sex tape featuring Paris and Rick Solomon in the act.

A videotape of her having sex with her boyfriend (1 Night In Paris) helped skyrocket her into the public eye. That was followed by a series of personal scandals and publicity stunts.

Q: What is your real name?

A: If I told you that, then having a stage name would be pointless-huh? If it makes you feel any better, all of my friends and family call me "Stormy". I only use my legal name for official reasons like banking and taxes.

Q: How did you get the name Stormy?

A: There are actually a few reasons why I picked the name. One is that while still in high school, I decided that I didn't like my real name and that I wanted to have a cool nickname. I found out ... (more)
