Where Did Keyword Discovery Go?
They’ve been down all day for me. Am I the only one who can’t connect, or are they really out of service?
Using Google’s Brand to Spam & Jam

Why Most Bloggers Are Complete Idiots
A story showed up this morning on Threadwatch titled “US Government Wants US Bloggers to Register.” The source of the Threadwatch post was GrassrootsFreedom.com.
Here are the statements made in the original post:
Neteller Pulls the Plug on U.S. Gambling
I think everyone new this day was coming, but I have to say, it came a lot quicker than I thought it would. Yesterday, the two founding shareholders of Neteller were arrested on money laundering charges. Today, Neteller announced that it was suspending all processing services for the U.S.
Even if the big players are successful at establishing new payment processors, the Feds will just start adding the new companies to a blacklist that gets distributed to U.S. banking institutions. When that happens, your bank will not allow you to transfer funds to any company on the list.
That will put the industry back to requiring players to send checks or money orders to fund their accounts. I’m sure diehard players will be willing to do that, but the average new player that gets sent to a gambling site via an affiliate won’t.
If you are someone still earning a living as a poker/gambling affiliate, I’d suggest you spend the rest of week looking for a new gig, or get busy boning up on Euro/Asian SEO.
