As you can see I have been accepted into the YPN trial program. YPN is the Yahoo Publishers Network, which is Yahoo’s alternitive/competitor to Google AdSense. I have only had them run on here for one full day, but was able to get a decent idea of CTR (click through rate) and click cost. The CTR is terrible, but so is the targetting (hopefully this will change), but the CPC (cost per click) is around 10-20x more then what I was getting from google. CRAZY. Crazy Indeed.

I thought I lost it when I first moved here, but found it later and hung it on my fridge. Well tonight I took pictures of it, so I could trace it in illustrator, for future use and decided to take pictures of my 2 paintings while the camera was out:

So I have become kind of an excel power user over the last year or so and have found some crazy shortcuts to save time by using the power of excel to generate spreadsheets for google adwords or overture.

So the town of Guelph is having its annual Film Fest. There does not seem to be too much information or hype about this, but I did hear something on the radio, and saw one banner as I passed under a bridge downtown.
