Normal, IL (SportsNetwork.com) - Daishon Knight scored 16 points and pulled down six rebounds as the Illinois State Redbirds slipped by the DePaul Blue Demons, 69-64, in non-conference play at Redbird Arena.
Also scoring in double figures for the Redbirds (7-5) were Zach Lofton and Nick Zeisloft with 14 and 11 points, respectively, although the duo combined to shoot a mere 5-of-25 from the floor, including 2-of-15 behind the 3-point line as the team won for the sixth time in seven outings.
DePaul (7-5) was paced by Billy Garrett and his game-high 18 points, followed by Brandon Young with 17 and seven boards, while Durrell McDonald chipped in 10 points off the bench. Sandi Marcius posted just four points in 23 minutes of action, but still made an impact with a game-high 11 rebounds as the team had a three-game win streak snapped.
Illinois State had issues from the floor in the first half, shooting just 37.5 percent overall and 2-of-13 behind the 3-point line, but the team made up for it with 11-of-14 at the free-throw line in order to produce a 37-34 advantage at the break.
Early in the second half the Blue Demons stormed back, taking a seven-point lead just minutes into the frame, yet even with a dismal 8-of-32 showing from the floor in the period Illinois State still played well enough to squeeze out the win.
In addition to being forced into 16 turnovers, which the Redbirds traded in for 17 points, DePaul was also outscored at the charity stripe by a 24-10 margin.

I may need to book a flight from Gondar in Ethiopia to Amman Jordan & I am not sure of the best way to do this! I usually like to book directly through the airline but I am not able to do this for this route through one airline or at least I cannot find a way. The best routing I see is Gondar - Addis-Dubai-Amman. May split the trip with a night in Addis. I could of course use Expidia or the like but I have never used one of these sites before as I say I have usually gone straight through the airline. Any hints appreciated! Thanks in Advance. I will also post this on the airline forum.
Booking flights Ethiopia - Jordan

If flying Ethipian Air makes sense they stop at Addis/ADD.
But why not check Expedia, Orbitz, even Kayak to see what's being offered for that route - air carrier, flight times, stops, prices - then if you'd prefer not to book thru one of these search engines, contact the airline directly. No guarantee you can get the same (if lower) prices seen on these, but you can beg! Always speak softly, but assertive... It works sometimes.

Sandi my thing with the engins is that I think somewherealong the line I have been lead to belive that if something goes astray whilst travelling (cxl flts etc) it can be more difficult to deal with than if you booked through the airline itself???? You are in the biz what are your thoughts on this?

"Lucky" Canes

Comments (0)
Now, Carolina is up against Edmonton, and the story is already written if the Hurricanes win two more games. That story is all about the team that didn't win. It'll be said that Dwayne Roloson's injury cost the Oilers the first game of the series, and that the Oilers could not find the goaltending, or the confidence, to recover. Carolina will be described as "fortunate" and "opportunistic".read on

Since its inception in 1838, the Melbourne Cricket Club (MCC) has regarded the preservation and display of its rich heritage collection as paramount.
The display of this heritage when hosting visitors and significant events at the Melbourne Cricket Ground has given the MCG an enviable reputation.
In December 2005, the MCG was included on the National Heritage List in recognition of its outstanding significance to the nation.
The northern stand redevelopment completed the following year provided the MCC with the opportunity to enhance its commitment to heritage with a much-improved MCC Museum and other heritage features throughout the stadium.
Some of these heritage features are Tattersall's Parade of Champions (2003-2006), National Sports Museum (opened in 2008) and Australia Post Avenue of Legends (2011-2014).
Australians should have a place to celebrate our fabulous sporting heritage. The National Sports Museum is such a place.
And where else could such an important national icon be based but here, at the heart and soul of Australian sport, the MCG?
The only location that transcends Australian sport, as the birthplace of Australian football, home of the first cricket Test and a World Cup final, headquarters of an Olympic Games and a Commonwealth Games, and host to numerous soccer and rugby internationals.
It's also fitting in that a great number of the sports stars honoured in the National Sports Museum have etched their names in the national memory through their achievements here at the MCG.

iWalk -- Cool or Not?
by Fitness 14 Reactions 0 Shares Print
Geek's buddy Popgadget just recently posted about the iWalk which is headphones that allow you to slip a first- or second-generation iPod nano into the iWalk's dedicated slot and go. One thing comes to mind, "Look ma, no hands!" Hold on to your gym shorts though. It's not available yet but when it is, it will retail for about $60.
Besides it looking kind of funny, the iWalk could be useful at the gym or while jogging at the park or when jamming to Fresh Prince and Jazzy Jeff on your boom box back in 1983...
Still, I am wondering what you guys think -- iWalk, cool or not?

I actually don't like armbands because they're either too tight on my arm or they feel insecure and like the mp3 player is going to slip out. And my workout clothes never have enough pockets, plus I hate having heavy stuff bounce around, so any alternative to those for holding my player, I'm all for.

A CHINESE lighting manufacturer has announced it will be bringing almost 200 new jobs to Rubery by 2015.
The news came as NVC Lighting Limited, a supplier of exterior lighting products and a subsidiary of China's largest lighting producer, officially opened its new premises on the Great Park.
The new building will allow NVC to double its UK operation and will accommodate the growing number of employees - there are currently around 70 permanent staff, but the company expect to have a total of 250 in the next three years.
NVC started with just seven when it opened its first UK branch in Rubery, in 2009.
Gary Pass, NVC's UK director, said: "We are delighted with the strength of NVC's performance in the UK.
"With such a strong period of trading over the past three years, we are certainly looking to replicate in the UK the success of our Chinese counterpart, which has the largest share of the Chinese lighting market.
"Our dedicated staff work incredibly hard to ensure we offer the best products and best service possible to all our customers across the country."
NVC UK is expected to have made £25million by the end of the year.

It also has coloured ceiling lights that dim and change to imitate twilight, nighttime and dawn, as well as sound effects to imitate an occasional thunder storm.

The return of the Rapha Super Cross Series is on the horizon… with two of the three rounds taking place in the North of England this year. The first is at Broughton Hall for the second year – just our side of Skipton, North Yorkshire on the 19th of October. It's a few miles outside of 'our' region and easily accessed for a lot of North West riders.
The Philips Park event next to the National Cycling Centre in Manchester on the 20th of October has been a popular NWCCA venue on and off over the last few years and the hilly but accessible circuit should make good racing and spectating alike.
There are entry categories for all ages and abilities, including an elite race that should prove to be very exciting, and a little bit special!
It's going to be two great days of racing, and good fun for spectators as well, with hot food vans and live music to keep everyone fed and entertained.
All registration information can also be found at http://www.rapha.cc/uk-

A sequel to Christmas hit Sherlock Holmes may be blocked by author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's estate after Robert Downey Jr., the star of the film, suggested the iconic detective might be gay (watch Downey Jr talk about Holmes' gay subtext on Letterman). Now, Andrea Plunket, who claims to own the U.S. rights to the detective stories, has said she would withdraw permission if this theme was fleshed out in a second film. "I am not hostile to homosexuals," she said, "but I am to anyone who is not true to the spirit of the books." Are we really likely to see a gay Sherlock Holmes?
There's nothing wrong with debate: We should ignore Plunket's "befuddled, hateful knee-jerk reaction" to this, says Ben Walters in Britain's Guardian. Downey's comment was a "laugh at the expense of prurient attitudes to gay sex," and not a "serious" suggestion. Even so, we shouldn't stifle debate. To do so would be against the investigative spirit of the books—"not just homophobic, but Holmesophobic."
"A Case of Holmesophobia?"
But Holmes shouldn't be gay: There's nothing wrong with Downey's playing the "guessing game," says Elisabeth Rappe at Cinematical. Holmesian "scholars" have been doing it for "decades." But for Sherlock to out himself would not be "historically accurate" because his story is set in Victorian England, where "open orientation could have you locked up." In this respect Plunket has a point. "It's not being faithful to the character."
"Stay in the Closet, Sherlock Holmes!"
Holmes isn't gay—but he is sexualized: The first film doesn't really suggest Holmes is gay, says Violet Blue in the San Francisco Chronicle. Okay, so it's "festooned" with "subtle details" about the heroes' living arrangements, and there's a lot of "bare-chested, man-on-man, bare-knuckle fighting." But there's no actual "gay content"—and there isn't likely to be any in the sequel, either. "Can't two guys be sexualized and just get along?"

Gatland unhappy with decision-making
ESPN Staff
June 22, 2014

Warren Gatland said Wales could have made better decisions at the death during their 31-30 defeat by South Africa on Saturday.
Gatland was disappointed by his side's failure to capitalise on a scrum before the hooter after South Africa had nosed in front with a last-minute penalty. Fly-half Dan Biggar's attempted drop goal was off-target as Wales were denied a famous victory by a determined Springbok side.
"We had crucial scrum with a few minutes to go," said Gatland. "Those are the critical moments and you have to be 100% accurate.
"I don't think we got the last kick right. Mike Phillips made a bit of a break and we needed to get our backs on the right side of the field.
"Dan [Biggar] had already missed the first one from 40m and he missed the next one from 50m. We must make sure when those opportunities come along we have to be accurate."
But Gatland also acknowledged a great improvement from his side after their 38-16 drubbing in the first Test last weekend.
"We said we were poor in the first half last week and we worked really hard to put that right since," added Gatland. "It's a big improvement in terms of the way we played and scored some really good tries. I'm proud of the effort but gutted about the result."
Wales captain Alun Wyn Jones echoed his coach's words and said Saturday's performance was a warning shot aimed at their World Cup rivals.
"We are 15 to 16 months out from the World Cup," Jones said. "Hopefully, this will send a bit of a flare up into the sky to say we are still here and hopefully we can be contenders.
"We wanted to show the fans that were not out here on a jolly. We wanted to put a good performance on. We have had a long week and after last week we wanted to play the next day."

alas..........it was written some time back..........america is changed now (Report) Reply
Claude McKay
Although she feeds me bread of bitterness,
And sinks into my throat her tiger's tooth,
Stealing my breath of life, I will confess
I love this cultured hell that tests my youth!
Her vigor flows like tides into my blood,
Giving me strength erect against her hate.
Her bigness sweeps my being like a flood.
Yet as a rebel fronts a king in state,
I stand within her walls with not a shred
Of terror, malice, not a word of jeer.
Darkly I gaze into the days ahead,
And see her might and granite wonders there,
Beneath the touch of Time's unerring hand,
Like priceless treasures sinking in the sand.

First LeBron, then Rap Genius — Cavs owner Gilbert's big day
Send this to a friend
- Cromwell Schubarth
- Senior Technology Reporter- Silicon Valley Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | Google+
Dan Gilbert, the owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers and Quicken Loans, had a big day on Friday.
First he got NBA star LeBron James to agree to come back to the lowly Cavs. Then he led a $40 million investment in Rap Genius, the New York-based annotation company that is changing its name to Genius.
When James left the Cavs to join the Miami Heat four years ago, Gilbert wrote an open letter to fans calling it a "cowardly betrayal." All appears to be forgiven now.
Business Insider broke the news about the Rap Genius deal, saying it was suddenly put on hold after the startup's cofounder Mahbod Moghadam made insensitive remarks about a mass shooting and was pushed out of the company.
Ben Horowitz, the co-founder and prominent supporter of Y Combinator graduate Rap Genius, applauded the new round and new name, saying it more accurately reflects what it does.
"First, they created a technology platform that systematically enables a group of scholars to converge on the most correct explanation of a piece of text or video," he wrote in a blod on Friday. "Next, because people with an interest in rap music tend to be on the cutting edge of culture, Rap Genius fostered a community of cultural experts who have already branched out into important adjacent knowledge areas such as poetry and rock and roll."
Andreessen Horowitz joined in the funding, which brings the total raised to nearly $57 million.
A search of LeBron James' name on Rap — sorry — Genius, brings up more than 600 results ranging from songs to commentary on whether he would or would not leave Miami to go back to his home turf in Ohio.

"Underestimating the Seriousness of the Problem": Experts Urge Japan to Raise Nuclear Alert Level and Evacuate Wider AreaThe Japanese nuclear crisis worsens as Japanese authorities race to cool the overheating reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power station. Earlier today, Japan raised the nuclear alert level at the crippled plant from a four to a five, on par with Three Mile Island. This decision has shocked many nuclear experts. "Our experts think that it's a level 6.5 already, and it's on the way to a seven, which was Chernobyl," says...Mar 18, 2011 | Story
"Why Are We Playing Russian Roulette With the American People?": Longtime Nuclear Critic Ralph Nader Advocates Phasing Out Nuclear Power IndustryFormer presidential candidate and longtime consumer advocate and nuclear critic Ralph Nader strongly advocates phasing out nuclear power in the United States by calling for public hearings on the status of every single nuclear power plant.

Fears of a full-scale nuclear reactor meltdown are increasing as Japanese authorities use military helicopters to dump water on the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power station. The water appears to have missed its target and failed to cool the plant's reactors and spent fuel rods. "The walls of defense are falling, with the melting of the cores, the collapsing of the—we're expecting the collapsing of the vessels. And then,...Mar 17, 2011 | Story

Vermont Gov. Fights to Close Vermont Yankee, One of 23 U.S. Nuclear Power Facilities Nearly Identical to Failed Japanese PlantOne day before the earthquake and tsunami hit Japan and sparked a nuclear crisis, the U.S. Nuclear Regulator Commission announced it would renew the license for Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Plant. Vermont state legislators had voted to close the plant when its license expires in 2012.

Review of Mention, a Great Alternative to Google Alerts for Brand Monitoring
Back in April 2012 I wrote about how Google Alerts had pretty much stopped working for me. Recently, they clearly tweaked something, because Google Alerts are working better, as Danny Sullivan noted at Search Engine Land recently. However, they're definitely not back up to the level they were at when I first signed up for a Google Alert years ago.
Why not? Apparently, Google only sends you new alerts under these circumstances:Google Alerts only sends you email if new articles, webpages or blog posts make it into the top ten Google News results, the top twenty Google Web Search results or top ten Google Blog Search results for your query. If the top results remain the same for a while, you won't receive email on your topic.Perhaps this reduces the processing power they have to devote to G... > Read more
Persuasive Copywriting: 4 Tips for Higher Converting Websites
How do you tap into the subconscious mind of your site visitors and make them click that call-to-action button? The moment you get a little salesy, you know they'll run away before you even realize what happened.With customers getting smarter by the day, subtlety is the key to success. In simple words, you have to persuade them to complete your conversion goal by making them think that they want to do it, and not because you want them to.
Make your visitors achieve their goals first, before you bother them with your marketing goals.But how do you do that? Some of you have probably heard about the principles of persuasive copywriting, like scarcity, urgency, authority, consensus, consistency, reciprocation, and liking.Moving beyond the common wisdom of these persuasion tactics, here are s... > Read more
PPC Campaign Structure Case Study: English Soccer & The 80-20 Rule
What's your strategy for setting up your campaign budgets? One of our clients shared a case study with me about how he restructured his campaigns and budgeting strategy by combining the popular 80-20 Rule and the English soccer league system. Using this structure, he was able to improve his metrics across the board.
Let's take a closer look at his account restructuring plan and execution to see what lessons we can learn.Background Info80-20 RuleThe 80-20 Rule (more formally named the Pareto principle) states that roughly 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes. Our client was seeing a similar ratio of cause to effect with the performance of his account: 20% of keywords and ad groups were bringing in about 80% of impressions, clicks, and conversions.Soccer League TiersOur client a... > Read more

Meet AdWords Keyword Planner – The New Google Keyword Tool and AdWords Traffic Estimator Mash-up!
AdWords has just rolled out AdWords Keyword Planner, a new tool that combines two of the most popular existing AdWords tools, the Google Keyword Tool and the AdWords Traffic Estimator, and adds to it a wizard-like integrated workflow to guide users through the process of finding keywords for creating new Ad Groups and/or Campaigns.
I'm guessing that at some point in the future, the AdWords Keyword Planner may replace the Google Keyword Tool and AdWords Traffic Estimator – tools which have been in service for over 10 years and are widely used for both PPC and SEO. So if you've used either tool in the past, take note here – your process is probably about to change!Getting Started With AdWords Keyword PlannerThe AdWords Keyword Planner supports three key use cases:Search for keyword an... > Read more
How to Measure the ROI of Social Media (No, it's Not Impossible!)
Measuring the success of various campaigns is a core aspect of a marketer's job. It's essential to see how your marketing efforts are contributing to the business's bottom line. Yet according to Social Media Today, 70% of online businesses that utilize social media don't bother to measure ROI.
It's pretty shocking to discover that the majority of online businesses are conducting their social media marketing completely in the dark, with no clues as to how social media contributes to the success of their businesses. To be fair, it's not entirely their fault – social media ROI is a difficult beast to tame, the bane of marketers around the world.Why is Measuring Social Media ROI Difficult?Some say that measuring the ROI of social media simply can't be done!

5 Big Brand PPC Ads with Critiques: What We Like, What We'd Change
What big brands are able to do with their enormous marketing budgets is inspiring – though sometimes it mostly inspires jealousy. The typical small business can't sponsor the Olympics or get an ad spot during the Super Bowl. You have to tinker around with more accessible campaigns that cost less but typically have smaller reach as well.
PPC is an example of an incredibly accessible marketing channel – it's being exploited by tiny one-man shops and huge multinational corporations alike. But how much better is a big-brand PPC ad than an SMB ad – if at all? Is it like comparing the latest Pepsi commercial to what your local furniture store puts together?Let's look at five big-brand AdWords ads and see what they do well and what they could do better.(More: Dear eBay, Your Ads Don't ... > Read more
Help, Viral Searches Killed My PPC! 5 Tips for Detecting Unrelated Search Queries Early

Now I would like to talk about new queries which can appear instantly because of new viral content and interfere with your existing PPC campaigns.Last year, a Denham Springs woman set up a "middle finger" made of Christmas lights on her roof to upset neighbors.
(NSFW?!) Of course the media attention as well as the offensive Christmas lights disappointed some residents in Denham Springs, but companies who sell Christmas lights and run PPC campaigns on Google and Bing were furious about unrelated queries popping up during the busiest time of the year.Those advertisers who worked hard on their negative keywords weren't able to predict a query like "middle ... > Read more
The Future According to Larry Page: Outlook Lazy
On the Q1 2013 earnings call last week, Larry Page spent a lot of his time taking about the future – a future that will not be social, as Page might have had us believe in the past. He didn't mention Google+ once on the call, and social media only came up insofar as YouTube is social. That's a switch!So what does define the future of Google? The unifying theme just might be laziness.
Almost every Google venture that Page spent time talking about is designed to cater to our increasing laziness and impatience as a society.The web used to be a playground for tech nerds, but now it's for everybody, including people who know nothing about technology. As tech gets easier and more accessible, 5% of people mourn the loss of the control, but the rest of us lazy bums love it.Talking Is Easier ... > Read more
Boston Marathon Bombing Manhunt in My Backyard! [Photos]

2013 Q1 Google Earnings Call Reveals Real Reason for Google Fiber?
During Google's first quarter earnings call for 2013, Patrick Pichette – Google's Senior VP and Chief Financial Officer – seemed to reveal the real reason behind Google Fiber, Google's attempt to provide connection speeds "100 times faster than today's broadband."Google Fiber, currently active in Kansas City and coming soon to Provo, Utah, and Austin, Texas, is a newer venture outside of Google's core product stack, and the kind of "speculative product" that Larry Page said is vital to growing and surviving as a technology company.
"Companies tend to get comfortable doing what they've always done," Page said on the call, but "incremental improvements are guaranteed to be obsolete over time, especially in technology." This is why they've taken leaps into ne... > Read more

Google Caves on Ad Group–Level Mobile Bids
Earlier this week Google announced some upcoming changes to Enhanced Campaigns. Soon, advertisers will be able to set mobile bid adjustments at the ad group level:To provide more control and precision over bids in an enhanced campaign, advertisers will soon be able to set a mobile bid adjustment at the ad group level.
This functionality will be available to all advertisers in mid-May. We think this may be useful if you've been operating large scale campaigns and found that your optimal bids for some keywords would require significantly different mobile bid adjustments within an enhanced campaign.When Google originally announced the shift to Enhanced Campaigns, mobile bid adjustments were only available at the campaign level, a detail that AdWords power users were especially unhappy about... > Read more
What PPC Account Managers Say They Do vs. What They Really Do
Over 10 years ago I fell in love with PPC because it was the most measurable and optimizable marketing channel.If a keyword wasn't working out, no problem! I could change the ad, or optimize the bids, or chose entirely different keywords. I could measure and optimize anything and everything, which enabled me to create very sophisticated and profitable paid search campaigns.
Yet as PPC has become more and powerful and thus more optimizable, sadly, the average AdWords account manager is optimizing less stuff in their account – to the point where I believe that today, most AdWords accounts are dying of neglect.Very low PPC account optimization activity means that many advertisers are missing out on what I believe to be the best part of PPC. Should you be concerned?Exhibit A: Self-Reported ... > Read more
What's the Best Ad Position in PPC? (Hint: Not Always #1)
#1 Is the Best Ad Position! … Or Is It?A common assumption about paid search is that position #1 is the ultimate goal. Advertisers clamber over each other to ensure their ads make it into the top position, because they think that's what's necessary to be successful for their campaigns.However, I'd like to go on the record and make a bold statement: Position #1 isn't always going to be the best ad position for your business.
Yes, while position #1 certainly can't hurt from an impression/visibility standpoint, it might not be the optimal position from a conversion/ROI standpoint. Google's bid auction ensures that the higher you bid, the more likely you are to appear in a higher position. (Notice I said more likely, not guaranteed – the Quality Score system offers discounts fo... > Read more
Bid Adjustments: How Do They Work? The Math Behind Combined Bid Adjustments
Google's Enhanced Campaigns are here, and with them came new bid adjustments. While they may seem straightforward at first, bid adjustments can get a bit tricky when they are applied together. For example let's say you have three bid adjustments set at -60%, +20%, +30%. Google combines those to reach an overall adjustment of -38%.
What's the math behind how Google comes up with that final adjustment? Is it a miracle?Google does provide a calculator that allows you to select your adjustments from a drop-down menu to see how they are applied together, as shown below (click the image to enlarge):But being a PPC nerd, I wanted to understand the math myself. Let's break it down.One Bid AdjustmentWhen one bid adjustment is set, that's the amount the bid will be adjusted when the condit... > Read more
Bing Says AdWords Enhanced Campaigns Not in Customer's Best Interest
In a bid to capitalize on widespread discontent and outrage in the SEM community over Google AdWords enhanced campaigns, Bing today reiterated their view that EC's are essentially a bad move and indicated that they will not be following Google's lead as far as their product development efforts are concerned.
Bing Champions "Advertiser Choice," Implies that Google Doesn't CareWhile Bing's announcement itself is pretty straightforward, they used a 1200-word blog post to indict Google of not providing "advertiser choice."The blog post enumerates a litany of complaints that have been leveled against Google in recent months, including the notion that:Bundling of tablet and desktop advertising as a single target is worrisome given that there is research that shows tablets convert ... > Read more
Don't Read the Comments: 10 Logical Fallacies in the Comment Stream
There's a brilliant Twitter feed called @AvoidComments whose sole purpose is to remind us not to read comments on the Internet:This is excellent advice when it comes to newsy sites like Salon, which seems to be where repressed rage goes to die seethe indefinitely. And even Justin Bieber knows not to read the comments on YouTube: "I don't read YouTube comments because those can get you sad.
"Seriously though. I have a love-hate relationship with comment streams. The quality can vary so widely and it usually depends on what kind of atmosphere and community the blog owners cultivate. I love sites with upvoting systems that allow the best comments to rise to the top and which encourage regular commenting and conversation – see SEOmoz, Reddit, and XOJane, where I've lost hours of my li... > Read more

Dynamic Remarketing Ads: The Future of Google Remarketing
Google's new dynamic remarketing feature – currently in beta – is hands down the best release from Google I've seen in a long time.

The Mystery of Quality Score
Revisiting the Economics of Google Quality Score: Why QS Is Up to 200% More Valuable in 2013
Just over 4 years ago, Craig Danuloff at Click Equations wrote an article called "The Economics of Quality Score" that provided a simple model to determine the value of Google Quality Score in your AdWords account.We all know the value of Google's Quality Score in a high-level sense – Quality Score plays an important role in determining your Ad Rank, which is how Google determines the position in which your ad appears, which in turn determines the amount of exposure and clicks your ads will receive.
We also know that Quality Score plays a very important role in determining how much you're charged per click. A now famous video by Hal Varian, Google's Chief Economist, helped clarify this point – that your cost per click is calculated using the formula: Ad Rank of the ad below your... > Read more

AdWords' Trick to Click Policy: Can You Use the Words 'Click Here' in Display Ads?
Recently I had a heated argument with one of our clients about using the word "click" in Google AdWords display banner ads. There are many questions about inappropriate language on Google AdWords, especially for banner or flash ads. Most advertisers take unnecessary precautions because they are worried that the design will be disapproved by the Google Policy Team.
