Here is a new module that allows a web site admin to track external clicks, such as ad campaigns and links in a newsletters. The idea is to pass external sites a special link, and the module will keep track of when this link is clicked. It keeps daily, weekly and total statistics per node, as well in groups.Download the click module.
This module is an Extended Tracker module for Drupal. It has all the functions of the core tracker module (the module that provides the "recent posts" menu in the navigation block), and adds a few features:
The taxonomy feature works well in some themes (e.g. CivicSpace) but not others (Bluemarine). See the README file that comes with the package for more details.
If one takes a few steps back, and tries to take an objective and pragmatic look at Terrorism, free from the rhetoric of mass media and think tanks with an agenda, we find that its true magnitude is not as large as it feels.For example, consider the following:
Compare the above with the casualties of USA and Britain's invasions of Afghanistan (5,000) and Iraq (up to 100,000), the above is statistically insignificant. The above figure pales in comparison with "normal" crimes such as gun fatalities in the USA (16,000 per year), or car accident fatalities. If we venture into fatalities caused by less sensational means, such as poverty, unhealthy situations, terrorism becomes more insignificant.
This article is a collection of some useful material on Adsense in general. The more you know about the program, the more effectively you can use it on your web site. Start with an overview of the Adsense program, from Google themselves. Then read the Wired article on Google Adsense, as well as the article on Sitepoint. It is a bit dated, but still a good Introduction to Google Adsense. USA Today also has an article on Google Adsense.
Here is a collection of articles on Google's Adsense in general and using Adsense in Drupal. This information is published here as a companion to Drupal's contributed Adsense module.
Enjoy reading the material below, and good luck making money via Google Adsense Ads.
Now, you may think that the people above are not internet savvy, and do not know how to search. But if you think about it, one is an Engineering student at a respected university, and the other is a "Doctor" (whether a physician or a Ph.D.). They both chose the internet as a medium of choice to get the information they wanted, instead of just calling the library or the school. They did not bother to read enough of the pages presented to them to know that this is neither the Library of Alexandria, nor the E.G.C. A friend of mine, Raouf, likened my web site to an unintentional honeypot because its design looks good (thanks Raouf!), but the victims are clueless people.
Another case of mistaken identity:

This is in reference to my article about the origin of some pumice deposits on the South East Mediterranea shore. That article is mainly about childhood memories and scientific curiosity. After I reply that I have no idea on that, a few days pass, then I get a similar query from the same person:
