Admob-Mobile advertising and the iPhone
From http://blog.admob.com/2010/06/09/mobile-advertising-and-the-iphone/
Apple proposed new developer terms on Monday that, if enforced as written, would prohibit app developers from using AdMob and Google’s advertising solutions on the iPhone. These advertising related terms both target companies with competitive mobile technologies (such as Google), as well as any company whose primary business is not serving mobile ads. This change threatens to decrease – or even eliminate – revenue that helps to support tens of thousands of developers. The terms hurt both large and small developers by severely limiting their choice of how best to make money. And because advertising funds a huge number of free and low cost apps, these terms are bad for consumers as well.
Let’s be clear. This change is not in the best interests of users or developers. In the history of technology and innovation, it’s clear that competition delivers the best outcome. Artificial barriers to competition hurt users and developers and, in the long run, stall technological progress.
Since I started AdMob in 2006, I have watched competition in mobile advertising help drive incredible growth and innovation in the overall ecosystem. We’ve worked to help developers make money, regardless of platform – iPhone, Android, Palm Pre, Blackberry, Windows, and others. In the past four years, AdMob has helped tens of thousands of developers make money and build real businesses across multiple operating systems.
I’ve personally worked with many iPhone app developers around the world, including one who created a fun and simple game in the early days of the App Store. He built the app because he was interested in the challenge. He built this single app into a multi-million dollar advertising revenue stream with AdMob, hired a whole team, and turned a hobby into a real business.
We see these stories all the time. We want to help make more of them, so we’ll be speaking to Apple to express our concerns about the impact of these terms.

关于暴风影音
关于暴风影音导致的网络瘫痪，大家自己G吧，。我说呢，那会网络那么差，还搞的我跑去网吧，原来是暴风大爷把网络玩坏了。
个人是想不通一个媒体播放器干嘛要联网，还未经过用户确认随启动运行一个程序？至于广告，这天下没有免费的午餐，可以理解，还有就是弹窗广告，个人非常的鄙视这个东西。
以下内容均转自《理解广告，鄙视流氓》：
没有人是愿意免费给其他人提供优秀的服务的，上面介绍的播放器(豆腐注：原文上边介绍了几个播放器。)，之所以免费而且无广告，是因为它们是开源软件或者有其它的收入来源支持。而暴风必须通过暴风影音来盈利。
有些时候，我们总希望得到免费的、优秀的软件，这种付出远远小于得到的态度使得中国的盗版、破解版软件泛滥，而有些人还以使用盗版为荣、认为其他人必须为自己付出，这包括一些使用盗版windows还引以为荣的人、无耻抄袭博客文章的人。
对于暴风影音，我认为应该持两种态度：
1、理解广告
我知道广告有时是很烦人的，但我始终不使用Firefox屏蔽广告扩展，因为广告对于一个网站、尤其是内容型网站来说是十分重要的。
软件也是如此，一款免费软件，我们不要要求太多，不要抱着不付出只获取的心理。
2、鄙视流氓
安装暴风影音后，它会偷偷地开机运行一个Stormliv.exe，这是为了随时随地地下载广告和获取用户本地的媒体信息。一个媒体播放器实在没有 必要注册为一个服务并开机运行，播放器启动后连接服务器下载广告是可以理解的，但在没有启动播放器的情况下都不断连接服务器获取广告，这是让人反感的。
更让人反感的是，网络大面积瘫痪后暴风公司的态度，他们不但不承认是自身软件的流氓，反倒把自己掩饰成受害者，这种流氓，应该扼杀。
关于Alimama广告……
也没去了解到底Alimama是怎么算钱跟点击的关系的，官方好像没给出公式。
另外，昨天叫小李子帮忙点了下，自己似乎点了有4次，不知道小李子那边点了几次……
看结算对比下前天的，估计也是4，5次，算起来，如果流量高的话Alimama的收入似乎还行。
下边是最近2天Alimama的数据报表：
