Google Adsense Sent Me A LavaLamp

32 responses..

So I got this package today from Google and I was like wow… what could it be..

Its a Yellow lavalamp… doesnt say anything Google on the lavalamp it self. Kind of weird its just a plain old lavalamp.

Attached was a card thanking me for testing the premium content MTV video ads with AdSense.

Thanks Google I think this is going to make a great kind of night light.

    Maybe they’ve installed a little secret camera to spy on you!

    I saw about a 25% over where the normal text ad was. Since this is a premiere program that could be mostly due to the increased rev split.

    i am guessing by your post that you got a free lava lamp, made some assumptions based on its shape and “nice, warm feel” and have been abusing it in a way that was not intended by the maker.

    FYI… its just a lamp. Just a conversation piece.

    Take yours out of the sock drawer, wash it off one more time (better use bleach) and put it on a shelf in the living room where it belongs.

    More like so 60s, very retro.
    Very cool, but very hot also.
    Remember to keep Juliet’s little prying fingers away form it when she is old enough to explore everything!
    Better off with an LED light as a night light, much cooler, no need to replace bulbs and cheaper to run. :)

    A guy in my office has a Google lava lamp. I think he stole if from a Google party here in Atlanta when he was drunk. It looks nice in his office.

    Sounds like a recycled gift they had lying around from last year’s Christmas party.

     
    @September 14, 2006 4:12 pm

    LOL that is sweet. Although, I would rather have something besides yellow myself…do you think Google would mind if you sent it back and asked for a different color?

    All google ever sent me was “your adsense account got banned” email, in fact they have sent me several. I must be special.

    WTF? They mailed out aspirin to another developer two weeks ago, now they’re sending you a lava lamp?

    They must think you’re a stoner or something.

    I got a couple Google lava lamps with google logos a couple months ago. Remember, lava lamps work because they get very hot…they were a huge fire hazard back in the day…although this could have been because of the other activies taking place while using the lamps….

    hmm…

    Wow! So, you finally got the lava lamp. We actually got a Google couch back in 2003.

    The least they could do is put a Google sticker on the thing.

    Lol, one more reason to get into adsense ;)

    [...] Seit dem ich meine AdSense-Zahlungsart auf Überweisung umgestellt habe, bekomme ich keine Briefe mehr von Google. Und schon gar nicht so einen großen. Also was ist drin? Eine Lavalampe wie bei Shoemoney? Wenn es sich nicht um eine aufblasbare Lavalampe handelt, ist der Brief viel zu klein. Schade eigentlich, so eine Lampe wäre schon cool gewesen. � [...]

    [...] Neues Format bei AdSense Der Beitrag wurde am 22. September 2006 von Oliver Karthaus veröffentlicht Lange war es Still bei AdSense, was neue Formate angeht. Jetzt gibt es endlich wieder ein wenig frischen Wind für alle Publisher. Das neue Format ist ein 200×200 Pixel großer Ad, in dem Text-, Video- und Bildanzeigen geschaltet werden können. Auch die Channels wurden komplett überarbeitet. Es tut sich also was bei AdSense. Ein Screenshot der neuen Ad-Unit gibt es bei Jojo zu sehen. Persönlich hätte ich gerne mehr solcher kleinen Formate. Auch die MTV Ads, die Google gerade gemeinsam mit einigen Publishern getestet hat, würden mich interessieren.
