Google (non)Adsense

Last evening my visitor count to this blog went up by a factor of about x10 in an hour!! This is clearly total rubbish. 

It's very flattering but clearly not correct. I am not sure how this is calculated, but the algorithm needs changing!

Google Ad(non)sense

Suddenly the number people looking at this blog shoots by a factor of about 10.  I am sure the popularity of the posts has not suddenly gone up!   I have no idea how they measure visits, but I am sure it is not correct.

More gobbledygook

 I have just received this from Google Absence. As is usually the case, I cannot understand a word!

"Overview of changes: To ensure the accuracy and effectiveness of our systems, all publishers will soon be required to provide the referrerAdCreative parameter (RAC) when traffic arrives to a Related Search for content page from a source that is under your control. This includes any third-party network, service or affiliate that you partner with.

In such instances, you're required to set the parameter to the precise and complete creative text of the advertisement or link source. To elaborate, 'precise and complete creative text' signifies a literal transcription.

For example, within an upstream video source featuring an influencer walking down a street, speaking to the camera, with background music also present, the full transcript of the speech, the song lyrics, and any visible text on street signs, among other elements that might appear anywhere on the user’s screen, must be provided verbatim and in their entirety."

Plain English? I don't think anyone told them about that!

More Google Adsense rubbish

 Last month alone I was supposed to have had about a third of my all time blog visits. 

Also yesterday I was supposed to have had far more visits than normal.  

Personally, I think this is total garbage.

Out of touch?

The latest thing from Google Adsense is about a webinar. Now I have absolutely no idea what they are talking about! Perhaps it means something to people still in work.

It proudly states: 

Why accessibility is your next big UI/UX opportunity

Adsense crappery - NOT amateur radio

 As a blog owner I can see how many people are supposed to look at my blog every day. At breakfast time I was supposed to have had more visitors today already than some whole days last week!  

It seems a healthy dose of disbelief is needed when looking at these figures. 

Basically I do not believe them!

It gets worse (Google AdSense) - NOT amateur radio

Every now and again I get a message from Google AdSense. Most of these messages mean nothing to me! Take this one received today (attached). 

Basically, I just ignore these. I am awaiting a message in plain English. No doubt I shall be dead before this comes!!

Ad-(non)sense - NOT amateur radio

As part of running this blog I get stats on visitor numbers from Google Adsense. Basically this is rubbish!  Sometimes visit numbers are high, whereas other times I am supposed to get very few visits. It is best ignored.

Google Adsense - NOT amateur radio

Perhaps they should rename this Google Nonesense? In the last hour my visitor numbers have (supposedly) doubled, which I am sure is not correct. I look regularly, although I am not sure why. Like the UK weather, I think your guess is as good!

Whatever next!! ? - NOT amateur radio

"Evolving the AdSense ecosystem"

What the heck does this mean? I received this in an email today. Why can't they just say what they mean in plain English instead of this meaningless drivel?
