I am going to attend a very promising seminar on Sunday which should help me to create more successful Adsense sites and blogs to generate more income. This involves an early start in the morning so I will arrive there pretty bleary eyed. I just hope the organisers will have the coffee makers running, and plenty of biscuits to hand.

If you want to find a great idea for a present this year for a friend who likes all the latest gadgets, have you considered the newApple iPod touch? This newly released widescreen media player is the ideal design and it has attracted rave ipod touch reviews from all quarters. This new release from Apple shares the same multitouch screen as the iPhone but the phrase “media player” is an understatement of what this remarkable piece of kit can do. The multitouch screen gives you amazing control over your device and you get more natural input without the need to use a stylus or any other tool to control the functions. All you need to do is slide your fingers across the screen to enter text and navigate web page. This device is not cheap but the quality of the touchscreen interface and high quality audio and video playback quality make up for the high price tag. This is the Apple iPhone minus the call making option, the revolutionary iPod Touch. The lack of calling is not an issue when you have the most advanced music player on the market today. The iPod touch is definitely well worth considering this year.

Good news for Adsense publishers where bank transfer payment is not available: Google is now paying Adsense earnings through Western Union. This is not as good as a direct payment in your bank account, but it is an improvement on sending cheques. Who benefits from the new Adsense payment option? If you are in Argentina, Chile, China (Mainland), Colombia, Malaysia, Pakistan, Peru, the Philippines or Romania the Western Union Quick Cash option is now available for your Adsense earnings to be paid. There is no cost to you if you choose to receive your Adsense payments this way and you can cash your payment at your nearest Western Union Agent on the day after the payment is sent from Google. If you choose the local payment option for your Adsense earnings you will need to show an ID document issued by your government so make sure your Google account name is exactly the same as it is shown on your identity document.
