Some AdSense trouble, and some Roger Waters too…

I’m too tired to do it right now, but tomorrow I’ll have to block a bunch of “bad” referrers, which have earned me a nice warning email from Google’s AdSense department. Googling around, I see I’m not the only one. More details tomorrow… but, meanwhile, one suggestion: check your logs, especially your top referrers. If they’re suspicious, it may be a good idea to start blocking them.

This is related to referrer spam, but it’s apparently something much worse – it can cause your AdSense account to be closed. As I said, more to come.

Meanwhile, WordPress 2.0.4 is out.

And I’ve just bought Roger Waters’ Ça Ira. Yup, it’s opera. Real opera, not a metal opera like Avantasia. Something to listen to, tomorrow.
