Just got a feel good email from Google about AdSense OR Could there be a drop in publishers?

Dear Publisher,

We understand that the recent economic turmoil has created a lot of uncertainty in the lives of AdSense publishers. During these difficult times, we're continuing to invest in innovations that improve publisher monetization and advertiser value in the content network.

We're focusing on further developing our product offerings and boosting ad performance for publishers. We recently announced advancements in AdSense for search and experiments to make ads more effective. We're bringing DoubleClick technologies to AdSense publishers, and we'll continue to launch new products and features. We're also continuing to improve our offerings for AdWords advertisers, making it easier for them to target the Google content network. Features for advertisers, such as the new display ad builder, are designed to improve ad performance on AdSense publisher sites.

We'll keep driving technological progress, but our best asset will always be our publisher partners. The strength of AdSense lies in the value of the content you bring to users and the quality of the sites you bring to advertisers. Our success is tied to yours. We look forward to partnering with you for the long term, and remain dedicated to helping you succeed.

Sincerely,

Kim Scott Director AdSense Online Sales & Operations

Google Inc. 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043

New online adventure - Panama Souvenirs | LoveAna.com - Panama Online Shopping

Don't mind me, just doing a little shameless self-promotion... ;-)

I've recently started a new e-commerce adventure, LoveAna.com, for Panama Souvenirs, Panama Online Shopping and Panama Real Estate. (Other Amazon.com products including video games, Panama-related books, and Panama-related movies and DVDs are available among other things.)

I created the site to give business travelers and visitors in Panama City the opportunity to buy Panamanian souvenirs without having to spend a great deal of time and energy finding the best souvenirs (like souvenir keychain coin purses) all over the city. Most international business travelers in Panama are really interested in bringing back something memorable from Panama for their family and friends. Why not help them?

Another benefit for international guests in Panama is that we will deliver any Panama Souvenirs they purchase on LoveAna.com to any location in Panama City free of charge. (In other words, free delivery within the Panama City limits for Panamanian souvenirs.) We can deliver to offices, residences, apartments and hotels anywhere in the Panama City limits (as far as Las Cumbres, Tocumen International Airport and not past the Bridge of the Americas).

Another audience that will likely find LoveAna.com useful is Panamanian residents. (Not just citizens, but expatriates living or on an extended stay in Panama.) I saw a need to offer products, primarily from Amazon.com, for Panamanian residents at reasonable costs. Oftentimes, it is cheaper to buy from the US. The problem is how do residents bring the products they buy to Panama if many sellers do not ship to Panama. We have a shipping solution and once customers shipments arrive in Panama, we will pick up the products from our logistics provider and deliver them directly to our customers' homes or offices free of charge within the Panama City limits.

Naturally, LoveAna.com will accept orders from other locations, like the United States, Canada, Asia, the Middle East and Europe (among many other countries), especially if they are interested in souvenirs or memorabilia from Panama or Panamanian arts and crafts. Standard shipping rates apply.

Thanks for reading my shameless self-promotion. (Email me and I'll send you a coupon for a discount off of our Panama souvenirs.)
