Massive CPC Drops Across Google AdSense Publishers Over the past 48 hours, there has been a spike in complaints around Google AdSense showing huge CPC, cost per click, declines after August 5th. There is a thread at WebmasterWorld and Google AdSense Help and a bunch of chatter on Twitter around this drop. Many are saying they are seeing a 50 to 70% drop in their cost per clicks they are getting on the ads on their web sites.

Called Revvl, the new Android device — manufactured by Alcatel — is a mid-range smartphone with features like a 5.5-inch HD screen, a 13-megapixel camera, 2GB of RAM, 32GB of storage, a fingerprint sensor, and more. It’s available starting August 10 for $0 down and $5 per month on T-Mobile’s JUMP on demand plan. In a blog post, T-Mobile COO Mike Sievert said the company is catering to customers who want the latest smartphone technology but can’t afford to pay for high-end devices that are now topping $1,000 or more. He said the Revvl was built specifically for T-Mobile customers who, according to the company, use more data and upgrade their phones faster than those with other carriers. “You won’t find a phone anywhere with better features for the price,” Sievert wrote. T-Mobile also today added to its J

NASA MARTE

Similarities to Missoula megaflood seen on Mars, elsewhere on Earth NASA officials didn’t disguise their excitement last week in describing the 600-mile-wide flood scar they’ve mapped on the surface of Mars. Here in Missoula, we can casually reply: Live here, seen that. And there it was in the NASA news release: The Martian flood channel was “comparable with the depth of incision of the largest known megaflood on Earth, the Missoula floods, responsible for carving the Channeled Scabland of the northwestern United States.” Members of the Glacial Lake Missoula Chapter of the Ice Age Floods Institute have seen that coming since the Viking Lander touched down on Mars back in 1976. “It’s frightening to think how long we’ve been at this,” said Norm Smyers, a retired U.S. Forest Service geologist and member of the Glacial Lake Missoula chapter. NASA suspected the Marte Vallis region of Mars was a megaflood zone back when it was planning the Viking missions. And thanks to what was
