Italy: censorship for blogs
One year ago, during the Prodi government, the draft Law Levi threatened to transform our freedom of speech in press. Moreover, the maneuver was echoed by international press, to the point that the TimesOnLine badly stamped the proposal.
One year later Levi we always try again! Punto Informatico has discovered that the proposed law, once amended, was resubmitted to the Parliament with number 1269.
Now, it is very disagreeable, especially to see the determination with which politicians seek to pursue their goals, there is probably only the desire to have weapons against those who discuss on the network, but perhaps also lobbying interests that are difficult to see.
Blog on hold: what happens to the traffic? … And if the adsense pay more?
febbraio 18, 2008 · Filed Under Uncategorized · Comment
By September, I voluntarily reduced the number of posts on the Italian version of the blog, and decided to write only when I need. Contrary to expectations increased traffic and subscribers to the feed.
Over the period, work and study has kept me away from the blog for 18 days, and I have not published any posts. Looking at the statistics of the period traffic has maintained a level higher than the 90% average traffic period immediately preceding the suspension.
Basically, I came to miss visits from oknotizie (italian digg) for daily posts, while, as I wrote a few days ago, most traffic continues to come from google, but are not relevant visits from other social network. At the same time, I noted that even if only a few units, has increased the average readers through the feed.
What is most interesting, but to investigate in a more scientific way, is the increased performance of adsense. It has increased as CTR and cost per click, leading to results that may considered very satisfactory.
Do you have experience to tell?
