Google is set to announce a new beta program today. Called “Site Targeting,” and unlike the AdSense program, advertisers can place ads on a CPM, or cost per thousand impressions, basis.

1. All blogs (and RSS feeds) are not created equal.

If you’re interested in this topic, read about it on Steve Rubel’s blog.

Check out Chris Pirillo’s blog/podcast/show if you haven’t seen it already. For example, this interview with the “Oilman” is pretty interesting.

One point is that the most successful spammers eventually go white hat — short term, less money, long term they get to stay around. Did you know that many of the current internet marketing gurus started out as rank email spammers? True story.

Fortunately, no Stompers are stalkers. But geez, Yahoo People Search is so 2004.
