Google AdSense preview tool

Leave a reply

How have I not heard of this before? Google has a registry hack (for IE only, sadly), that allows you to see what ads Google would put on a site if AdSense were to be put on it – even if it currently has no ads. Very cool. If used on a site that does have AdSense, you can use it to get the links from the ads so you can visit the URLs without clicking on your own ads.

Linkie Winkie

What the hell is Linkie Winkie? I saw it in my Candy Addict logs today. Weird. It says:

Linkie Winkie is a bit of a social experiment and we want to see what happens. We’re not going to tell you much about it, except that its a very altruistic little site and loves to be talked about.

So if you can work out what it does, and get your timing right, then Linkie Winkie might help you out for a while.

So, what the hell is it? Anyone know?

Sternest Meanings

http://www.sternestmeanings.com is a simple anagram site. Give it some text and it replies with an anagram.

  • Myvogonpoetry = Groovy! Empty on!
  • George W Bush = He grew bogus
  • What a way to go = A two why a goat

Pointless, but mildly entertaining for a few minutes. You can also reach it via AIM: (aim id sternestmeanings)

TipMonkies Lives!

TipMonkies, a great site for useful tip and tricks (and one that I write for every now and then) seemed to be dead for the last few months. Martin (the owner/editor) had some serious family problems, but he’s back now and ready to go. He’s already posted some great stuff in the last day or two. Check out TipMonkies if you haven’t already.
