Cluster Maps – A Cool New Widget
This is a cool widget you can use anywhere; blog, website, MySpace, Facebook. Click our post title or visit Cluster Maps to check it out.
This widget shows a map of the location of your site visitors. Click the map and you can see a bigger map with more information. It is cool to see just how global most websites are when you have a cluster map installed
Installation is very simple, grab a snippet of code and install it in your source code and you have a map. If you hate the ads on the inside page when the map is clicked you can get rid of them for $2 a month.
This is a fun widget. You can see one we have recently installed on the www.SternEnvironmental.com website, just look for it on the left sidebar at the bottom.
Google AdWords on Yahoo?
Oh this is big news, but big and bad news for advertisers on both Google and Yahoo. You’ll want to read our post on Blog-World Watch to find out why.

Is It To Be GoogleY! or Yoogle!
Google is testing running AdWords ads on Yahoo! of all places!
In this limited test; on 3% of Yahoo searches for a three week period, Google will be showing Google AdWords ads on Yahoo. Yahoo will receive a percentage of fees in an effort to fight off the pending hostile takeover from Microsoft.
