Google Ordered To Change AdSense Contract By South Korea's Watchdog

It also raised concerns that the contract provided no payment guarantees. Google said it will revise the contract.

Not related to the post at hand but there's a function here that shows "Nth most visited link" and it noticeably slows down opening up your external links in a new window (without real benefit, I have to say, tho that's just my taste). Anyway, keep up the great blogging Barry & co!

Hasn't stopped me from using them, mind you, but helped make me hyper-aware of the rules and how to stay well within the lines...
