Blocked On R2CU.co.nr

LeachThis is part of a new task I'm setting in front of me: better navigation inside the blog. I have a lot of links, some for my easier navigation when I loose or don't have the usual Bookmarks on the computer, and some for your enjoyment. But I've decided, beside providing you with content, I need to make that content easily accessible.
And I've decided to start, again, with Google. All of you guys that use AdSense know this but probably don't pay much attention: there're people out there creating bull-blogs (I have a patent on this word ;)) with words that attract the best payed adds. Now I believe that they're the ONLY ONES visiting those blogs 'cos they usually have only one post and nothing informative at all, and that's I guess how they make money.
Some might ask "What do they do with such well earned money???" Well, I'll tell you: they pay Google to put ads on mine and your blogs, with links to THEIR Blogs. That's all fine, but they might actually be driving off those same advertisements you would like to click on from your blogs, and the prospect of not making a $100 dollars in another 6 months just makes me mad.
Now I know that this might sound like overreacting, let the people do their thing, everybody makes money as they can, but I've decided I sure as hell won't let them do it off of my back (unless they're really nice or really HOT, which I doubt) and I don't think you should either.
Here's how you do it:
- In the Google AdSense for Content click on the Competitive Add Filter.
- Once there, you can just type in the web adress of sites you don't want to be displayed on your blog/website.
Or you can check out the longer Google Instructions here.
I guess this was a Google option for partially controling these kinds of "intelligent" blog ideas, and since control over the blogs where adds are displayed at and their content, is as ever a bad idea (look at just what U.S. Government wants to do with the control over our search results ...), I'll just make a list of sites I'm blocking and you can check them out and may decide to do the same.
debt-consol.blogspot.com
meso-information.blogspot.com
It seems that it doesn't block for the moment, cos I listed these just a minute ago but it's worth the shot. I know that these're the same blogs but just in case...
Since this is my blog and I can do anything I want with it, :D here's a list of "Blog advertisers" whos style and approach I dislike and have decided to block from my adds.
maggiechurch.blogspot.com
saveemma.blogspot.com [This one's especially bad, really avoid. :(]
www.blackchristianpeoplemeet.com/?t=GGC17883
www.dougtooke.catholicweb.com
www.loveandseek.com
www.newkosovo.org
Also I invite all of you to post here your blocked web sites and adds you don't want to see on my Blog. The picture is of an animal commonly known as "leach". Don't let them suck your blood.
This section will be permanently linked in the right sidebar so you can check it out any time you feel like it.

I know, I know, I'm all talk and no pictures. Well, I'm gonna be changing that now that i have my LAPTOP!!! Here are some of the pictures of Campus, Oxford and other 'lovely sites' one might find in this area of the State of Mississippi. :) Click the image(s) for the larger version. This is one of two entrances to the library. Park in front of it is supposed to hold a memorial for the civil rights movement, whose significance in these parts you may get a glimpse of here and here . This is part of the atmosphere in the Grove (The Park of the Campus, where all is happening before the Football games). This is the Ole Miss Rebels Orchestra (or whatever they call them), extremely fine music they play but rarely succede to bring the Rebels to victory. Who cares about what's going on on the field! They call this ' the Rush '. Basically it means that many girls in the First year allow older girls to do to them whatever they want so they can get into a Sorority. Th...

Yogalistic

SORE ALL OVER!!! Seriously people, my roommate actually told me this morning I was breathing hard for some reason, and I think it was from exhaustion! But I think my muscles are actually rejoycing at the chance to do some real work after a long time. I think the only other time I felt like this in the past five years was after a two day trip across the mountains around Sarajevo with skiis and a lot of other mountaineering gear. Don't want to spread the story long and wide 'cos most of the stuff I mention you wouldn't have even heard of anyways. Yes, it's Yoga. Before Yoda, today Yoga. I guess I was actually subcontiously considering Yoga lessons when I posted that picture... But anyways, there're a lot of FREE lessons for OleMiss students and teaching staff (heh, when will we see a thing like that in Bosnia???) during the week and I had some extra time yesterday and hence my complaining. We actually did the same excercises as in this small pic, but don't ask me ...
