Uncover Your Competitors Link Networks

Mr. Bill has released a new tool which can be very useful in uncovering your competitors link networks.  The tool, Sites on My IP, allows you to view every domain which is hosted on the same IP address as the target domain.

Go to the Sites On My IP web site and enter your competitors web site in the search box; you will receive a list of other web sites your competitor might own.

Some shared hosting platforms share one IP address among multiple customers, but usually you will find only domains owned by your competitor.

Sites On My IP also has some other useful tools for you:

AdSense is now an Unsupported Product

For the last few years, Google has been providing support to AdSense Publishers through the adsense-support@google.com mailbox.

Google provided no phone numbers or contact names, only this anonymous mailbox. Sometimes email was responded to, sometimes it wasn’t. AdSense support was dismal. AdSense was very nearly an unsupported product.

On 1 May of this year, the situation went from bad to worse. Google turned off adsense-support@google.com. If you email that address now, you receive this terse and confusing response:

Hello,

Thank you for your message. Unfortunately, adsense-noreply@google.com is a
notification-only email address and does not accept incoming emails.

Our support team will not be able to receive or respond to your message.

For more information regarding the email you received, please visit our
Help Center:

https://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/answer.py?answer=113058.

Information on our program policies (
https://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/topic.py?topic=8423 ) can also
be found there.

Thank you for your interest in Google AdSense.

Sincerely,

The Google AdSense Team

Unfortunately, those two URL’s both lead to a series of completely unhelpful “help” screens.

Even worse, if you follow the excruciatingly awful path through the seemingly never-ending “help” screens, you are eventually able to leave a message — to which no one ever responds.

AdSense is now an unsupported product — and Google made this change without any public announcement.

As an AdSense publisher, I am responsible for tens of thousands of dollars a month in revenue to Google. This is not the level of support I am accustomed to receiving from my business partners. This is irresponsible and inconsiderate and I would complain to Google about it directly — if they would take my calls or accept my emails.

The Best in Life

We at Free Internet Media like to think that we appreciate the best in life.  The best things, the best people, and the best experiences.

We’ve taken our hedonistic tendencies to new levels recently, with the launch of our new  web site, Best In Life.

Best In Life is a guide to the best of everything, from the best way to cook frozen shrimp to the best way to heal a cut to the world’s best hamburger recipe.

Our new portal to the best of everything has 131 pages so far, but we’re hoping to receive some feedback from you to help us find more of the best in life.  :)
