I just removed my Google Adsense link--and added by Yahoo Ads link---I should have done that weeks ago instead of wasting time with Google.
What's their share price today?

Weaning myself off Google
Since Google doesn't want to play ball with me, I will no longer play ball with them. Therefore, I'm weaning myself off Google---and that probably means moving my blog from Blogspot, which I believe is owned by Google (Big Brother, are you reading this now :)
Is there anything comparable to Google Alerts?
I have about 100 Google Alerts in place.

Waiting on Google Adsense Update #3
Google Adsense sent me this email at 2 this morning---I had set a text alert on my phone and it won't me (and my wife) up out of a sound sleep...I need to see if I can have my Yahoo ads appear on Blogspot--if not, I may need to switch my Blog to Wordpress. I think I'll do all of my searches using LiveSearch.

Google Adsense---cease and desist
We all know (at least regular readers do) that I have been permanently blacklisted by Google Adsense.
Why then, when I log into my blog each day, do I see this message?
Your AdSense account needs verification. Please check your email for the Google AdSense Verification message.
I check my email each day---Google doesn't even have the good manners to respond to my Google Adsense reinstatement request.
What's Google's stock trading at today?
$311.46
Glad I didn't buy that 5 years ago.

Waiting on Google Adsense
About 2 years ago I had a Google Adsense account which allowed me to make some money from advertisements that Google would place on my website.
Unfortunately, I mentioned this in one of my Penn State classes, and some enterprising students wrote a program that clicked on the Adsense links about 10 million times, causing Google to drop me because they termed me a 'click bandit'.
My emails to Google (along with those of the two students) did me no good--and since then, I've been unable to get them to reinstate my account.
When I created this blog, I received a notification from Google that I could apply to have advertisements displayed in my very dynamic blog (so far, no one has read it :)
I'm still waiting for word from Google as to whether all is forgiven.
I hope so.
