Eh gads! Click bait schlock & drivel. The writing is awful, the editing is even worse but I image there is excellent ad revenue - apparently they are depending on readers being so bored or distracted by the arrow over format to keep reading they just might click on one of the equally boorish ads. Yikes.

Hey ZergNet...next time you get so loose with your criticism maybe you need to remember you are talentless hacks who make a living off people who actually have talent,and unfortunately are at your mercy for ignorant factless condemning reviews.You guys do really suk....but I mean that in a good way.

Well I suppose a lot mature content sites started that concept as you allude with thumb trading from one site to another never getting to what they wanted. But no I guess the users are getting what they want. They do have to click twice but its not like super misleading or anything.

However, its not a direct trade between the two sites.

So, really, Zergnet is just one big circle jerk?

Re: AdSense – Where to Place your Ads

Dennis, well look if you place your ads top left or top right in an article you will get a decent CTR. However, it comes at a user experience cost. Also you have to watch with Google's search as well since they frown upon ads taking up too much real estate. I'll update this shortly as have some more placements that are doing well and not as in-your-face. Just restoring this site.

Thank you for sharing but quite confusing. You say that top right is good then again you say you regret using it so what is the bottom line?

Re: Google Page Speed and CloudFlare

Just an update on this to say that we are now using Pagespeed on our main sites. A few bumps with some staff having problems accessing our backend admin and a few times the entire site has gone for a few minutes but overall much speeded up and overhead on the server way down. I did have to put a throttle on bots though as the frequency (Bing, Yahoo etc) were hitting the sites when way up. We have lost some image traffic but we were doing that anyway due to the way the main engines pilfer images from sites and show them in search with no reason for users to go to the source...but that's another rant :-)

Incapsula does not work with Google Pagespeed (Atleast as I write this). Really looking for a WAF solution compatible with Google PSS.

Same here.
Looks like Cloudflare is not compatible with Google PageSpeed but I don't care about that, because Google seems to provide better results and there is no reason to use 2 CDNs anyway...
So I stayed with Cloudflare for a week or so for security but then my friend tipped me about Incapsula [http://www.incapsula.com] and I moved my sites there, and didn't look back since.
They do much better security and they are also fully compatible with PageSpeed,. Also, they don't take over your DNS like Cloudflare, which was very important for me personally.

Yeah, I think there would be issues with trying to run them together as they overlap in terms of what they do and I can imagine all sort so of issues cropping up with all the caching etc.

Security was never really a factor for me for the main sites as we've always had our own security admin on top of managed servers on a custom content management system but for our newer sites not on our own CMS it is certainly one of the appeals and I guess you can never be too safe with your livelihood.

That's great you've had no issues with them though and seen good results in speed.

Be sure let us know if they get back to you.

I'm working with Cloudflare too for all my sites. It works well, and I
have no complaints. Yesterday I got the mail from Google to enter their
PageSpeed project. When I setup the site with Pagespeed ( and without
Cloudflare), the page load speed almost doubled. This is really awsome.
But when I tried to use Pagespeed in Cloudflare, it didn't work. I
followed the Google instructions, but I got a message from Google that
the host was misconfigured, if I tried to access the page. Then I tried
to use Pagespeed on Incapsula (simular service as Cloudflare), but it
didn't work there either. I'd like to use pagespeed with one of these
services, as they offer an extra layer of protection, something Google
doesn't offer. They are looking into it now. Hope they find a fix
soon..

Re: What Screen Resolution?

Just by way of contrast in 2006 47.67% were using 1024x768 and 10% 800x600.
