If you are a member of BlogExplosion, Blogazoo or other blog promotion sites that frame your blog while people view them, your Google AdSense ads me be getting messed up and YOU MAY BE LOSING REVENUE. The interesting thing is that Google seems to be paying attention to the frame these different programs that is wrapping and no not the content of your site, causing your AdSense ads from Google to show ads based on the frame bar and not your content.  Most sites will then show the same ads which usually are related to “surfing“ (as in on the water). 

An easy test is to view your site in their frame (usually be viewing from the directory listing).  You will see what ads are coming up.  Then open it in a new window without the frame and you will see the difference.

There is an easy fix though!

You simply add this:

google_page_url = document.location;

to the Google code (or when you are using the Google AdSense layout manager, select the option that your page will be framed).  After this change,  the true content context ads will be displayed. Great to see context sensitive ads now on my site via BlogExplosion and Blogazoo!

I have heard of Kanoolde over the years.  It seems that they have now launched two programs similar to Google's AdSense.  The first is an ad panel that appears similar to an AdSense ad panel, when you can place on your web site or blog and generate revenue.  The second, is the ability to run these type of ads embedded in your RSS feed.

There are quite a number of people earning some good extra cash with Google's AdSense.  I wonder if people running Kanoodle BrightAds are doing as well..

For some time now, I have been working to design and launch a new site.  Today, I was pondering thoughts to include in the mission statement.  Most of these thoughts brought me back to what should be the basis of a business and what the ethics and responsibilities should be in a business, which are unfortunately missing in many businesses of today, especially large corporations.

These are my feeling and opinions on what business should be along with the responsibilities they should fulfill.  

When you set out to build a business, what should be your motivation?  Many times, it is simply to be able to work for yourself and control your own future instead of depending others to provide this to you.  For a few people, it is simply to make a cash cow, increase themselves at the cost of others.  Those in the latter I believe are the parasites of our economy and should not even own a business.

As I was leaving software development position in Ohio a number of years ago, the president of software development gave me a few words of advice.  He said, "You do not make money on your work, you make money on the work of others".  This angered me a bit, but I truly think this is a key motivation over many businesses in today's world as they seem to show no caring for those that work for them and only consider how they will increase their power, profit or market, nothing else seems to matter.

I believe that owners should be able to open a business and build that business to provide an overflowing secure comfortable life for them and their family.  However, for those businesses that have employees, I believe they have an additional God given responsibility to provide a good security living to all those that work for them. 

Businesses with or without employees, it is better to find ways to hire more people than just put money into your account.  Once you have a good living on your own, why not look for ways to hire people and be able to provide them opportunities? 

There is more to business than just profit!

In today's world, many large corporations and other businesses do not seem to have any concern about their workers or even the country in which they live.  Their only goal is to keep increasing the profits at all costs.  This is the type of parasite I was referring to earlier, they are pure greed driven cash cows without any loyalty to any one or any place. 

It is sad when large corporations eat up other businesses, many times just to remove competition, and take the parts they want and destroy all that remains.  Then there are those that build businesses into something of value and sell them off to larger companies at the expense of the many of the employees that helped build the business.

When you hire employees, you are making a covenant with them to help provide a living and take care of them and their families (or at least you should be).  Most of the time, it is the employees who build the business and those profits belong to them as well as the owner.  They are not just workhorses that you drive and receive 'x' amount of work for 'x' amount of dollars, they are people with families just like the owner and those owners will do well to remember that.  The responsibility of the employee is to provide the business with the best work of their abilities as if it were their own business.

The primary focus for any business should be to provide for the owner's needs, next is to provide for all the people they can employ, giving many the opportunity for a living.  I believe that this is the key to business and the key to life.  It is not just for us to consume and not give anything back, we are to help one another. 

There is only one thing in this life that matters and that is your interactions with other people (regardless of relationship) and the quality of those interactions.  Make those interactions count!
