@ShaneEubanks  @masonworld Perhaps you are right.  I have  certainly done more than my fare share of experiments and other weird stuff with that AdSense ID.  But the thing that bugs me is that the reason that they sited was fraudulent click activity.  I have never ever done anything like that.
 
In any case it is true that link networks are getting hammered.  Great article here on that http://www.linkbuildr.com/private-blog-networks-getting-deindexed/ — BMR was deindexed yesterday.
 
Thanks for the comment!

@masonworld I’ve seen a LOT of Adsense users get their accounts disabled in the past month…almost like a Google dragnet going on.

This is my completely unscientific observation, but I AM seeing a theme. It looks like a lot of the publishers that have gotten banned have websites where a large chunk of their links come from blog networks an spun articles. Google has deindexed a TON of blog network sites in the past month and I don’t think it’s a coincidence that Adsense publishers are getting the boot at the same time.

Just my observation…take it for what it’s worth, but I think 2012 will be a wake up call for link builders.

 @LorettaOliver SO, it turns out that privacy policy came from some PLR.  It is use thousands and thousands of times on the web.  I need to rewrite it to make it unique, but I have never spent the time to do it.    I am not sure about resources for this, but I will take an action to cover this in a future post.

 @Chris S.  Thanks Chris.  Got some things planned for episode 20 that should help get all of this sorted out.  Thanks for the feedback — it’s very helpful.
 
Thanks for the offer to beta test.  More info on that in April.
 
Regards,Mark 

 @iphoneapprevguy Thanks for the feedback on the audio.  I’ve got an idea about how to do the next episode based on some other feedback (including yours) that answers many objections.  I also spent the day futzing with my mixer and compressor to get the levels and sound quality right to that things are more polished.  
 
One good thing about a weekly show is that I can do lots of tweeks and try them out quickly.  A month or so from now we should be in a nice stable configuration…
 
Thanks!Mark 

 @SteveBorgman Thanks Steve.  I appreciate the feedback, and thanks for putting me in your regular rotation.
 
I do strongly recommend Libsyn.
 
I don’t use BuddyPress — I actually use PowerPress from Blubrry.  I have not noticed any performance impact to using any of these podcast plugins (I used to use PodPress before I switched to PowerPress).   Since all the plugin is doing is creating a media enclosure for your mp3 file, I would not expect a performance impact — but I have never tested it.
 
Thanks!Mark 

 @ShaneEubanks Thanks man, appreciate that.  It’s just poor business on their part.  Really frustrating.

 @LazyBastardLife Really appreciate the feedback.  I plan to change up the audio in episode 20.  I think it will make the show better.  Still working through the best way to do post-production.  Right now, my post production process does leave the audio too hot, but I know how to fix that.   Thanks again.
