All The Breaking MyBlogLog News (That Isn't)


Shoemoney revealed today (for the last time! really) that MyBlogLog tracks Adsense and YPN ads. Soon after, Jensense spotlighted Shoemoney's aforementioned startling discovey.

Um. Who didn't know that?

The unique outbound-link tracking feature is supposed to be a cool thing. How can anyone not notice that it tracks Adsense clicks the first time they look at their stats?

Jensense did note that the code MBL uses for tracking Adsense ads appears to be lifted straight from another program designed to do the same. That's mildly interesting, but we don't really care. Noone sees MBL as a marvel of engineering. It's just kinda' cool.

Anyway, this is supposed to be some dire warning to uber-Adsense/YPN bloggers. It's hard to believe that anyone that uber wouldn't have noticed it by now, though; it's very nearly a touted feature...

Some would (VERY FOOLISHLY) say that Shoemoney is childishly attempting to strike back at MyBlogLog for, you know, banning his ass. Some people; not me. No.

Alas, the Shoemoney/MyBlogLog drama waxes thin. Bored now.

Update: MyBlogLog decided to un-ban Shoemoney.
