Whaddya know? Google Ad Manager provide tool to manage your online ad sales and inventory.

Great to know that Google is now providing free ad manager just like having your own hosted open source ad manager (phpad). The service is still in beta and currently a free service to use.

I received this email today from Google Adsense regarding retiring Adsense Referrals. It's time to update your website if you are using the service before last week of August 2008.

Here's the full email message:

Another Yahoo and Google news

According to Michael Arrington of Founder and Editor of TechCrunch, "Google taking Yahoo out of the game long term". This is why I don't like this idea, instead let Microsoft be part of Yahoo Search to combine the no.2 and no.3 search company to compete with Google to avoid monopoly in search engine business.

Hey Microsoft, How ’bout We Do That First Deal You Offered?

The devil is in the details, and the details of the Yahoo-Google search advertising deal reveal the desperate, possibly neurotic state of Yahoo these days. Quite simply, it looks to me like Yahoo is effectively paying Google off to step in and (1) keep Jerry Yang, Sue Decker and the current board of directors in power, and (2) avoid a desperation deal with Microsoft for as long as possible, or longer. It’s not even clear to me that Google wants this deal, based on the terms. It almost looks like they’re just doing Yahoo a favor, and trying to keep them out of Microsoft’s hands.
