End of .YU Domain

September 29th, 2009 No comments

Today I stumbled on to an interesting piece of news. Sites with Yugoslav domain .yu will no longer be available from tomorrow, 30th September. Actually ICANN removed .yu domain from the list of approved country domain names in 2006, but they still continued to support it to give extra time for sites to transfer to a different domain. Now they have decided that the time has come. They have a simple & fair reason, it should be appropriate to use .me or .rs domian (respectively for Montenegro & Serbia) as Republic of  Yugoslavia has been broken into these two countries :)

FusedHosting Down! And They Took All of Us Down With Them!

September 26th, 2009 8 comments

Oh! Long time since I have posted & that’s not because I was busy. It’s because F…ing host FusedHosting came out to be a scammer. The old owners sold the hosting company without any prior notification & the new owners took the liberty of toying with all the customers. The server went down & stayed like that for several weeks. They didn’t notify before. You couldn’t contact them as they won’t reply to support mails. They even took out the CAPTCHA image so that you couldn’t send them mail from your client area. Some guys found out the phone number of the owner from some other place but nobody took it. Even their own site was down for several days!

Can You Use Adsense Ads With Adult Sites?

September 5th, 2009 No comments

I have seen many adult blogs using Adsense ads on their sites. Most of them don’t care whether it is legal or illegal. Recently one of my friends asked me if it would be a good idea to start an adult blog. No doubt, it would get popular sooner & with lesser efforts than ordinary blogs & then he can add Adsense ads to earn revenue. I told him that Adsense doesn’t allow adult content. He pointed me that many blogs with mature content are using Adsense & he was too lazy to find the words from Google Adsense TOS. So, for those idle guys like my friend, here is what Adsense has to say about putting any kind of adult content with Adsense ads:
