Google Advertising Professional Bug

Posted under Web2.0

UPDATE: it seems to work now but 3 weeks have gone since my certification..

As you can see I have the Google Advertising Professional certification, see the logo on the right.

But a real problem is that the link
(https://adwords.google.com/select/ProfessionalStatus?id=2A8NuRDuoVNOF560mTwGcw&hl=en) that leads to my page does not work at all, it asks to log into Adwords.

How many readers or potential customers lost?

Google just answered me that for some professionals there is a bug.

Is Google going to give me a compensation for potential loss?

Actually a french company already ask me if I were really certified as they are unable to display the page.. :-(

Technorati Rank is dead?

Posted under Blogs

Technorati just announced the dead of their rank?

By removing the links generated by the 2000 bloggers project of Tino Buntic, they just announced the end of their current indexing system.

Why? because some of bloggers already make links in the only goal of having backlinks. But they won’t be removed. How could Technorati know that this is done on purpose or just because the bloggers like some other blogs?

May be the technorati rank should remove the counting of links in the algorithm?

I think it will be hard, and their rank is going to loose credibility in next few weeks / months.

MORE in french :-)
