Ads Over Content

I noticed this week that CNet is now running full page ads before you can even see their home page. How little they must think of their own content to do that. I can see doing that before a video or some sort of linked page. But your main page?

Keep doing that and you will make your site as irrelevant as a TV network.

Featured Gadget: To Do

Posted by Kathy Walrath, Technical Writer

This blog periodically features a Google Desktop gadget and a quote from someone who uses it. If you'd like to recommend a gadget, send an email to desktop-gadgets AT google DOT com.

Mihai Ionescu of the Google Desktop team says: "The To Do gadget is an amazing time saver wherever I go with my laptop. It's like having a pack of Post-It sticky notes with you all the time."

The To Do gadget is part of the Google Desktop installation and should already be available on your system. If you don't see it in your sidebar, select "Add gadgets" (+ on the top sidebar menu), search for todo, and then add the gadget.
