This is huge news. The article says we should know more later today. Probably 9am ET since it's a US co.
For Wall Street Journal online subscribers, the article is titled "Google to Target Brands In Revenue Push".
After email, 5 clicks, average 37 cents each. Really makes you wonder...
Quite true although I am not sure I understand what you mean by excessive repetition.
Before only the very savvy webmasters had an idea about which AdSense sites delivered. With this new model everyone can test and try.
If I were a content advertiser I would test a site out for a while see what worked and then contact them directly for a quotation. If they cannot deliver, stick with AS if they can I could save money and they make a few extra Baht.
Plus with a direct deal an advertiser can organise placement which is not possible with AS.
I hope there is an opt out option
Too many impressions per visitor. Frequency is useful up to a point, but if the average visitor clicks 5 or 10 pages of a site and sees the same ad each time, the advertiser who's paying a CPM rate isn't going to be happy.
You might, if they could deliver enough impressions to make it worth the time and paperwork. (If you're an ad agency or a media-buying service, though, being able to click a box in an AdWords console may be a lot more cost-effective, especially if you want to advertise on multiple sites.)
Another thought:
It will be interesting to see how if this new CPM option evolves into a true CPM alternative to CPC contextual ads, not just run-of-site filler ads for use when contextual ads aren't available. The fact that advertisers can choose the sites where their ads run could make a CPM option desirable (even at relatively high CPMs) to advertisers and ad agencies who are leery of taking potluck when they bid on content ads.
One text ad in an adblock no matter how many regular text ads the block could hold. Sort of like the PSAs.
Is this official? My concern is that I'm currently getting an eCPM of over $30. I simply don't want CPM unless it's going to generate more revenue than I currently get, and I seriously can't see advertisers paying this on a CPM basis.
Hello people, it's time for your 8am wake up call, that's before Google takes a 50%-60% slice of the pie.
Can you say $1 CPM?
With 3 ad units that's $3.
For 1,000,000 ad impressions that $1,000 dollars which is about 1/4 of my current earnings with AdSense.
If this only augments where PSA ads once played to fill gaps and increase the bottom line, I'm all for it.
If it replaces well paying ads ($0.03/click and up) with banners ($0.001/impression and up) that has never fared well on my site and impacts my bottom line it's the end of AdSense.
I'm now in a wait and see mode - no reply from Google - no PurplePills yet that I can see today, maybe the filter took a while
There's a banner ad for a Dodge Charger, ARRRRRRRRGH!
i cannot imagine that these ads will replace the high-paying PPC ads anywhere - that is google's bread and butter. this will be a supplement to their existing revenue. these type of ads will likely appear on pages that usually get PSAs or those that dont receive well-targeted PPC ads.
i think the good sign is that the big advertisers are coming on board. in a recent report on advertising, the internet only accounted for 3% of total ad spending - there is plenty of room for this to double and triple. i think its a good sign that the deep-pocket advertisers are coming online - in the long run, i think this means more money for google AND publishers.
Today the TOS for advertisers were updated.
The advertiser has to agree, not to contact the publisher directly for offering him a deal.
If this is true, then what would it be good for an "Advertise here" link on our sites? Should we all be forced to contact those that are advertising on our web sites because they are no longer allowed to?
I changed proxy to public one in USA and now I can see those damn Purple pills.
It is even worse than i thought. (Quality is excellent but not content match).
Does anyone knows how to kill it?
I used to $25 CPM as an example. I also have CPM much higher than that, and it will be competitive with what you already have.
Coming right up, I'll post in a new thread so everyone can spot it :)
If Google is truthful in that only the highest performing ads for my site will be shown then I expect the banners to vaporize on their own in short order.
Maybe I was too harsh pre-judge (but I doubt it, my spider senses are tingling) assuming a high CTR (on my site) of 3% with the minimum CPC bid @ $0.05 would only be worth $1.50 total vs the $2 CPM minimum which is $0.50 more for the same thousand ad impressions.
However, that would assume it's a CPM text ad mixed in the leaderboard.
If we're only talking about a single banner for $0.001/impression it stinks.
1: Maybe I just hadn't noticed this befor because I simply set my prefs to text ads only. But this might be of some relevance to this new CPM deal. Apparently we could allow image ads on a per page basis. That would open some better possibilties in my mind.
2: There is now some info on the Adsense "What's New" page, there is a link on the stats page after you log in.
I wonder if "Highest performing" means earn webmaster most money, earn Google most money, convert best for advertisers irrelevant of click price or what? My reading is that G will put the highest bidders first, but the wording might be open to interpretation.
I also wonder if the new features means a dissapearance of all the Ebay "New & used Buckingham Palace - all sizes available" spammy nonsense - surely that crap doesn't outbid real advertisers in a real auction?
We thought we were in the right, until I scoured the TOS and saw the language on impressions.
I see this as the beginning to the end of ppc, and ppc fraud. It was only a matter of time.
Now, you will make money based on more on your Alexa, and suitability, which is fully within your control.
Bidding can be fabulous for some publishers. Opting out from some publishers, is going to kill alot off. It is like Mr Clean working to get the germs off the web. I think the advertisers have been screaming for more control.
As far as Adbrite. We have been testing it, and it is weak. It is a time game. Over time, I am saying a year or two, it will pay off. But, it is going to be a long, slow haul. We modified our setup with them, to settle down for that long haul. Unless of course something else better comes along. (we have applied for notification at yahoo)
We added BrightAds, not to be confused with Adbrite, today. I am not impressed at all. I don't want to feed insurance ads to my visitors, especially on pages that relate to specific product lines. I can see the revenue is going to be weak. So, we are only trying it on a few pages.
Big beef there is no FAQ for reports, and no real reports data on impressions and cpm...
I am going to test drive it a while and see if the ads get better. Because they are hand edited, there is no way to target specific pages, so you get overall generalized ads. That will not convert well.
All the changes in ad servers are starting to remind me of the turmoil of the engines in the past 18 months. I think I need some antacids. Who has the site with those ads? (kidding)
Hold on publishers, it is going to be a wild ride this next year. I can see it coming.
You have a devious mind ;)
But, good point, as extreme as it is. The media is full of stories of corporate wars being fought in Adwords/Adsense to break a competitor. Maybe it is not so far fetched.
More $$ resources, greater diversification ... how can anyone complain about that?
I'll give Google a thumbs up on site-specific CPM advertising.
and then two sentences later finishes:
...has introduced a number of new features for ADVERTISERS (my emphasis),
How about Publishers ADVANTAGES like "design-your-own formats" and "pick your minimum acceptable PPC/CPM"? At least they could let us know which displayed ads are CPM and which are PPC. So we know if we are violating the TOS or not by viewing them.
...and JUST as we were starting back into an up-cycle in CPM they have to go and screw with it as usual.
For example, my Page CTR is 0.1% and my Page eCPM is $0.09
I would like to paid more CPM, for example $0.15-$0.20 per thousand impressions would be excellent.
How does this affect someone like me?
Thanks for pointing that out. Must admit I can only smile at how ludicrous that rule is. Might look good on paper but is next to impossible to enforce.

I think the CPM ads can be a lot more targeted than that. Remember, Google is offering "site-targeted" ads. This is something that banner networks like Tribal Fusion have tried to offer, but they've never had the critical mass that Google does. Google has brand recognition, search technology that enables "site targeting" on a huge scale, the ability to serve ads regionally (via geotargeting), and so on.
If you're the ad manager of the Widgetonian Tourist Office and you want people to think about visiting Widgetonia when vacationing in Eastern Europe, your media buyer can purchase advertising impressions on European and Eastern European travel sites just by selecting boxes in an AdWords console.
Later on, you might even try CPC for more specific campaigns, once you've become comfortable with Google's content network. And over the long term, you may find that there's a place for both CPM and CPC in your advertising strategy--just a cruise line might advertise in CONDE NAST TRAVELER or PORTHOLE to build awareness while using direct mail to stimulate bookings from targeted groups of prospects.
Bottom line: CPM represents new opportunities for advertisers and publishers. Google isn't afraid of it, and publishers shouldn't be, either.
Personally I don't understand the fear of mainstream legit ads. My fear is that I'm going to get flashing "You have won!" banners, casinos, work at home schemes, all that crap. But the tone of your site is not going to be lowered by mainstream ads that people have already seen on TV and in magazines. Quite the contrary.
Assuming the ads are legit and legal, what's important is that you get PAID as much as possible. If it's CPM, it doesn't matter if someone clicks. Quite the contrary, it's good if someone doesn't click, because you get paid for showing that ad AND you still have the possiblity of sending the same person's click elsewhere.
No matter what your site's theme is, some of your visitors have acid reflux. Heck, my sister-in-law has it. I've had an ulcer and let me tell you, I would have tried anything to get rid of it, and I wouldn't have cared what site I saw the ad on - I was always looking for help. And as a webmaster, all I want is to be honest, not run ads that mislead or hurt my visitors, and get PAID. So bring on the purple pills.

A team of Columbia Engineering researchers, led by Mechanical Engineering Professor James Hone and Electrical Engineering Professor Kenneth Shepard, exploring the properties of graphene have demonstrated a new electro-mechanical resonant component.
The resonator's structure consists of a 2-4 micrometer long strip of graphene suspended over a metal gate electrode. The strip of graphene has a natural resonance governed by its physical dimension and is used in the demonstration as the frequency determining element in an RF feedback oscillator circuit. Applying a voltage to the gate electrode stresses and deflects the graphene strip changing its resonant frequency. The team applied baseband audio and tones to the gate electrode to produce a 100 MHz FM signal.[via]

A team of researchers at Brown University (USA) has concluded that graphene, a material touted to replace silicon in future semiconductor devices, disrupts functions of living cells. If the results of the study are confirmed by others, graphene could end up in the same hazardous material category as carbon nanotubes.
Graphene has many unique properties, but from a toxicology perspective the most important is that it is often made as a dry powder with the potential for inhalation exposure. Graphene fragments that make up the powder have sharp, pointy edges that can penetrate cell walls and allow the rest of the fragment to be drawn into the cell.
The researchers started with toxicity studies of graphene, which showed that it did in fact disrupt cell functions. To discover why, atomically detailed computer simulations of the graphene material interacting with a living cell were created. The simulations indicated the same results as the toxicity experiments. After the simulations follow-up studies were performed on human lung, skin, and immune cells in Petri dishes, and they confirmed that graphene fragments as large as 10 microns can pierce and be swallowed up by living cells.

A team at the University of Illinois has unveiled a battery design which offers 10 times the energy density and 1000 times faster recharge time compared to current cell technology according to a paper in the Journal Nature Communications.
The battery uses a LiMnO2 cathode and NiSn anode but the real innovation is in the novel electrode design. The electrodes are fabricated using a lattice of tiny polystyrene spheres which are coated with metal. The spheres are then dissolved to leave a 3D-metal scaffold onto which a nickel-tin alloy is added to form the anode, and the mineral manganese oxyhydroxide forms the cathode. In the last stage the glass surface is immersed into a liquid heated to 300˚C (572˚F). The resulting structure massively increases the electrode surface area and reduces the clearance between the electrodes. [via]

Inspired by trees scientists at the University of Maryland have developed a nanobattery that uses tin-coated wood fibers to store liquid electrolytes. Replacing the lithium found in many rechargeable batteries by sodium makes the battery environmentally benign. Sodium doesn't store energy as efficiently as lithium, so you won't see this battery in your cell phone – instead, its low cost and common materials would make it ideal to store huge amounts of energy at once, such as solar energy at a power plant.
Existing batteries are often created on stiff bases, which are too brittle to withstand the swelling and shrinking that happens as electrons are stored in and used up from the battery. The researchers found that wood fibers are supple enough to let their sodium-ion battery with an initial capacity of 339 mAh/g last more than 400 charging cycles. This puts it among the longest lasting nanobatteries. [via]

New Si50x CMEMS® Oscillators Leap Ahead of Quartz-Based Timing Devices with Superior Frequency Stability, Reliability and Programmability
Silicon Labs has developed a new low-drift, single-die MEMS oscillator fabricated using a CMOS process. By porting low-temperature MEMS technology to the SMIC foundry, they managed to build a SiGe structure on top of the passivation layer of a CMOS logic chip using an existing CMOS production line. The drift problems of dual-die devices are eliminated by selecting specific materials to counteract thermal drift. The programmable oscillators operate at up to 100 MHz with frequency stability down to 20 ppm. Higher speed devices are planned, according to a Silicon Labs' source.
CMOS MEMS (CMEMS) technology allows data sheet performance for frequency stability to be guaranteed for ten years, including solder shift, load pulling, supply voltage variation, operating temperature range, vibration and shock. This is ten times longer than typically offered by comparable crystal and MEMS oscillators. The oscillators tightly couple the MEMS resonator with CMOS temperature sensing and compensation circuitry, ensuring a highly stable frequency output despite thermal transients and over the full industrial temperature range.

3D printing a battery itself is a remarkable achievement. A 3D printing a battery as small as a grain of sand is a giant hurdle forward in both, 3D printing and battery technologies. That is exactly what researchers working at University of Illinois and Harvard have done. To achieve this process the researchers had to create their own custom 3D printing technology. Although there are many types of materials 3D printers can use, most print objects using small liquid droplets, which build upon one another to create the object from the bottom up. For the researchers this process was not sufficient to achieve their goals. Therefore, they designed a 0.03mm nozzle, which releases the liquid materials continuously in a fashion, which is similar to toothpaste being squeezed from its tube. In addition, the researchers also invented a 3D printing material that is electrochemically active, which ultimately allowed the printed battery to store and release charges.

Grenoble, France and Cambridge, UK – 10th June 2013 – ISORG and Plastic Logic have co-developed the first conformable organic image sensor on plastic, with the potential to revolutionise weight/power trade-offs and optical design parameters for any systems with a digital imaging element. First mechanical samples will be publicly unveiled at LOPE-C 2013 (ISORG / CEA booth B0-509) from 12 to 13 June in Munich, Germany.
The collaboration is based on the deposition of organic printed photodetectors (OPD), pioneered by ISORG, onto a plastic organic thin-film transistor (OTFT) backplane, developed by the technology leader, Plastic Logic, to create a flexible sensor with a 4×4 cm active area, 375um pitch (175um pixel size with 200um spacing) and 94 x 95 = 8 930 pixel resolution.
The backplane design, production process and materials were optimised for the application by Plastic Logic to meet ISORG's requirements. The result, a flexible, transmissive backplane, represents a significant breakthrough in the manufacture of new large area image sensors and demonstrates the potential use of Plastic Logic's unique flexible transistor technology to also move beyond plastic displays. Combined with ISORG's unique organic photodetector technology, it opens up the possibilities for a range of new applications, based around digital image sensing, including smart packaging and sensors for medical equipment and biomedical diagnostics, security and mobile commerce (user identification by fingerprint scanning), environmental, industrial, scanning surfaces and 3D interactive user interfaces for consumer electronics (printers, smartphones, tablets, etc.).

Official Formula One tyre supplier Bridgestone announced on Friday that they plan to make their extreme wet weather tyres visibly distinguishable from the standard wet rubber for the 2008 season. The move has been introduced at the request of the teams and in consultation with the FIA, the sports governing body.
The extreme wet weather specification will now be marked with a painted white line in the same way the Japanese company marks their softer dry compound at each race.
Throughout the 2008 Formula One season Bridgestone will continue to mark the softer of the two dry weather tyres at each event with a white line along the bottom of the second from inside groove, explained Hiroshi Yasukawa, Bridgestone Motorsport director. However, we will now extend the use of the white tyre marking to our extreme wet weather tyres.
We hope this change will enable spectators of the sport to have a clearer understanding of the strategies used by all 11 Formula One teams when racing in the wet. Bridgestone is pleased to be able to play a part in increasing Formula One fans' enjoyment of the sport.
The modified extreme wet weather tyres will be available for use from the season-opening Australian Grand Prix, which takes place in Melbourne next weekend.

Cranberry-Orange Gelatin
Toss that mix; it's just as easy to make flavored gelatin from scratch with a few ingredients.
- Prep:
- Total Time:
- Servings: 6
Source: Everyday Food, November 2003
- 4 envelopes (1/4 ounce each) unflavored gelatin
- 3 cups cranberry-juice cocktail
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 6 oranges, separated into segments, 1/2 cup juice reserved
In a small saucepan, sprinkle gelatin over 1 cup cranberry juice. Set aside to soften, 5 minutes. Place over low heat until gelatin has dissolved, 4 to 5 minutes. Add sugar; stir gently until dissolved (rub mixture between your fingers to make sure it's smooth), 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
Transfer gelatin mixture to a medium bowl; stir in orange juice and remaining 2 cups cranberry juice. Skim any foam from surface, and refrigerate until just thick enough to hold a line drawn by your finger, 30 to 40 minutes.
Arrange orange segments in the bottom of a 1 1/2- to 2-quart gelatin mold or Bundt pan; pour gelatin mixture over oranges. Refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours.
To unmold, dip bottom of mold briefly in hot water, invert onto a plate, and shake firmly to release.

This fudge combines the saltiness of peanut butter with the complexity of chocolate for a simple sweet that's a crowd-pleaser.
What to buy: We used 60 percent cacao bittersweet chocolate chips from Ghirardelli. They have a deep chocolate flavor and make this fudge even easier, because no chopping is necessary.
Game plan: The fudge will last up to 10 days when stored covered in the refrigerator.
This recipe was featured as part of our Back-to-School Bake Sale feature and our Chocolate Desserts photo gallery.
- 1Coat an 8-by-8-inch baking dish with butter and set aside.
- 2Combine milk, chocolate chips, and marshmallows in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture is melted and smooth, about 5 minutes.
- 3Remove from heat and mix in peanut butter and vanilla extract until thoroughly combined.
- 4Turn into the prepared baking dish, spread out evenly, and let cool to room temperature, about 10 minutes.
- 5Cover and place in the refrigerator until firm, about 1 hour. Cut into 25 squares and serve.

Why Small-Cap Career Education (CECO) Doubled
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Career Education Corporation (CECO - Get Report) surged 57% Friday to $5.947 after the college-level education services provider announced the sale of its European properties to private equity firm Apax Partners. At the time of the announcement, the deal was worth $305 million, surpassing the company's $255 million market capitalization.
Illinois-based Career Education stands to pocket $276.5 million from the transaction, expected to close by year-end, and plans to reinvest the bulk of those profits into its U.S. operations. The for-profit education provider has been victim to decreasing enrollments in previous quarters with total new student starts falling 25% in the three-month period to June.
"Redeploying capital from Europe to the United States is the right move for Career Education," said CEO Scott W. Steffey in a statement. "It will help us best serve the vast majority of our students, who are U.S.-based, and return the best value for our investors."
The European division generated $128.6 million in revenue for financial year 2012, amounting to 9% of the company's total revenue.
"The cash from the transaction will improve our options for accelerating future growth," added Steffey. Wells Fargo upgraded the stock to "outperform" from "perform" on news of the transaction, and revised its price target to between $5 and $7. TheStreet Ratings team rates Career Education Corp as a Sell with a ratings score of D. The team has this to say about their recommendation: "We rate Career Education Corp (CECO) a SELL. This is driven by several weaknesses, which we believe should have a greater impact than any strengths, and could make it more difficult for investors to achieve positive results compared to most of the stocks we cover. The company's weaknesses can be seen in multiple areas, such as its weak operating cash flow and generally disappointing historical performance in the stock itself." Highlights from the analysis are as follows:- Net operating cash flow has significantly decreased to -$52.78 million or 6710.06% when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, when comparing to the industry average, the firm's growth rate is much lower.
- CECO has underperformed the S&P 500 Index, declining 14.76% from its price level of one year ago. The fact that the stock is now selling for less than others in its industry in relation to its current earnings is not reason enough to justify a buy rating at this time.
- The return on equity has improved slightly when compared to the same quarter one year prior. This can be construed as a modest strength in the organization. Compared to other companies in the Diversified Consumer Services industry and the overall market, CAREER EDUCATION CORP's return on equity significantly trails that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.
- The gross profit margin for CAREER EDUCATION CORP is rather high; currently it is at 58.84%. Regardless of CECO's high profit margin, it has managed to decrease from the same period last year. Despite the mixed results of the gross profit margin, CECO's net profit margin of -10.64% significantly underperformed when compared to the industry average.
- CECO, with its decline in revenue, slightly underperformed the industry average of 11.3%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues fell by 19.4%. The declining revenue has not hurt the company's bottom line, with increasing earnings per share.
