If you know us at Texxors.com you know we speak for the trees. That’s why were very happy about these two new sites that are a twist on the Digg model. Greendope.com and Protestdope.com focus on environmental and social activism news, respectively.
As a bonus, if you’ve got an Adsense ID you or your organization can participate in the sites’ revenue sharing programs. We would have loved that in our college organizing days.

Our analysis shows statistical evidence that as a website becomes more popular, it receives less earnings per click (EPC) from Google Adsense. Since the EPC is determined by Google’s algorithms prior to the ad being served to a page, this suggests that Google may be intentionally or unintentionally manipulating EPC to increase their profit and/or Adsense participation. The method appears to be similar to the “throttling†practices that landed online movie retailer Netflix in legal hot water last year.
