What do you think of someone who’s already saved a million pesos by the age of 30?
Would you already consider that an achievement? Or is that something normal?
Banned by Google Adsense? Here’s how to reinstate your account
Is it the end of the road for you if you received this dreaded email from Google Adsense?
It has come to our attention that invalid clicks have been generated on the Google ads on your site(s). We have therefore disabled your Google AdSense account.
Please understand that this step was taken in an effort to protect the interest of the AdWords advertisers.
A publisher’s site may not have invalid clicks on any ad(s), including but not limited to clicks generated by:
– a publisher on his own web pages
– a publisher encouraging others to click on his ads
– automated clicking programs or any other deceptive software– a publisher altering any portion of the ad code or changing the layout, behavior, targeting, or delivery of ads for any reason
Practices such as these are in violation of the Google AdSense Terms and Conditions and program polices, which can be viewed at:
https://www.google.com/adsense/localized-terms?hl=en_US
https://www.google.com/adsense/policies?hl=en_US
Publishers disabled for invalid click activity are not allowed further participation in AdSense and do not receive any further payment. The earnings on your account will be properly returned to the affected advertisers.
Sincerely,
The Google AdSense Team
If you feel you were “unfairly” banned by Google Adsense because of “invalid clicks” you did not commit, don’t fret. Account reinstatement, although rare, is possible.
YFS1 and SEOPedia both talked about the proper steps to approaching this situation. I’m consolidating and summarizing their suggestions here.
Do note, however, that this only applies to cases where you were not at fault.
This means you did not click on your own ads, did not encourage visitors to click on your ads, and did not violate any Google Adsense’s Program Policies. If you did, stop reading right now. This article can help you no more.
Philippine stock market rebounds after yesterday’s slump
Share prices in the Philippine stock market closed higher across the board, with the main index rebounding from Wednesday's 7.9%, as investors took comfort in Wall Street's recovery overnight.
At the close, the 30-company composite index was up 122.67 points or 4.0 percent at 3,190.12, with 105 advancers and 22 decliners. The broader all-share index rose 67.15 points to 2,050.45.
Dealers said investors realized that Wednesday’s selloff was overdone and that the country's sound economic fundamentals remained intact, shielding the local equities market from external uncertainties.
PSE sharply lower after massive Wall Street sell-off
Note: Article updated to reflect market closing figures. Original story published thirty minutes after the stock market opened today.
The Philippine stock market plunged to its six-week low today, ending almost 8% down from yesterday’s closing.
The sharp decline followed the massive sell-off in Wall Street, which was triggered by sharp falls in the Chinese and European markets, a drop in US durable goods orders, and a warning by Alan Greenspan, former chairman of the Federal Reserve, that the US economy could go into recession this year.
The 30-company Philippine composite index finished down 263.84 points or 7.9% at 3,067.45.
It trailed the Dow Jones industrial average which shed off 416.02 points, its biggest one-day point loss since the day the stock market reopened after the September 11, 2001 attacks on New York and Washington.

Are you frugal or stingy?
All of us have to make choices about how we spend our money. Wise choices allow us to build our wealth and, eventually, achieve financial independence. But how do you decide when you're being frugal, and when you've crossed the line into stinginess?
Here are some benchmarks to check if you are stingy or not.
- If you use 2-for-1 coupons at a restaurant, you might be frugal. If you base your server's tip on the discounted bill, you're probably stingy.
- If you decide in advance how much to spend each year on charitable contributions, and then try to stay within that budget, you might be frugal. If the last thing you gave to charity was an ancient can of lima beans you wouldn't eat yourself, then you're probably stingy.
- If you use a tea bag for more than one cup of tea, you might be frugal. If you offer a guest the cup made from the used bag, you're probably stingy.
Frugality can be, and often is, a virtue. It implies you're being careful, not wasteful, with your resources.
Stinginess is a vice, and it carries a whiff of meanness. The word "implies a marked lack of generosity," as Webster's tells us. Stinginess is about pulling back when the more-human impulse is to give.
