New YouTube Horror: 2 Girls 1 Cup

There’s a new, horrible, horrible video making the rounds. It’s the video equivalent of goatse, and I recommend you do not see it. Suffice to say, the video involves poo in a cup, and two girls, and is so far beyond safe for work.
What is funny is seeing people’s reactions to watching the clip for the first time. 2 Girls 1 Cup, as it is known (and is available at 2girls1cup.com), is so awful, so disgusting, so perverse, that I almost vomitted while watching it, and I had to hide behind my wife to avoid the terrible images on my screen. Some people have such amazing, disgusted reactions, that people are videotaping their friends watching it and uploading it to YouTube.
Here’s a playlist of some of the best reactions. Some are undoubtably fake and staged, and if you see any cool ones, let me know. [...]

ADS-Click – violation of Google TOS?

Has anyone tried out ADS-Click (http://www.ads-click.com/) out yet? I’m interested in testing out but i’m a bit unsure if Google will throw a TOS violation fit if Adsense is on my site with it. But then again, somehow WidgetBucks is allowed….:confused:

How our spam filter works

Ad system with highest payout for tech site with 3000 uniques/day? (adult ads are ok)

Hi,
After reading through these forums I see that everyone only yalks about the well known ‘clean’ ad networks.
If I visit a site like thepiratebay I sometimes see quite disgusting ads, why do they display those, is the payout way higher?
If yes, what’s the one wit the highest payout or highest potential revenue for a site with 3000 uniques a day.
If no, anyone got a suggestion of the highest paying ad network?
(ow, and for obvious reasons, don’t mention AdSense…)

Does anyone here use AVN Ads?

I have a semi-adult site so AdSense is not an option. I tried Clicksor and XXXWebTraffic but they performed very poorly (like 3 cents a day). I get about 1000 visits / 100,000 page views per day.
I signed up for AVN Ads yesterday and started sending them about 30% of my traffic for a test run. So far I’m getting an eCPM of about $0.03.
For those of you who use it / have used it, is this typical or can I expect this to improve over time.
Is there anything better out there.
Thanks

Google Adds Coupon Search

Google Maps has a new area where you can search for coupons that stores have made available in Maps. Just go to a page like this one, and enter the area you’d like to search for stores with coupons in by the second search box. For better results, put the type of store’s coupon you’re looking for in the first box, like coupons for “pizza” in “flushing ny”.
I noticed last month that Google registered a bunch of “Google-Coupons.com”-style domains, and it looks like that was a real sign of things to come. I usually post about domain name registrations at InsideMicrosoft, so it’d be worth checking out those posts in detail in case some clue is waiting in there.

Need Customer Service From Google? Find The Door

Nick Starr wanted IMAP in his Gmail account, and when he didn’t get it, he decided he needed to complain to Google in order to get the new feature. Finding no real Google customer service to speak of, he headed down to Google’s offices and posted a letter on their front door, letting them know exactly how he felt. How very Martin Luther.
