Gave up on Flock last year. Moved to FireFox, but now using Google Chrome - not sure if any plug ins are available yet (not had the need to find any and revert to FireFox if I need anything in particular) but it is super quick, simple and straight forward. - san

I gave up on Flock last year too, it kept crashing. I use Firefox and as Ron mentioned, this year's 30DC will use Firefox too. - Corinne Mitchell

There is a new version of Flock available (2.5) - Brian McClure

Upgraded to 2.5. Same problem. - Frans

I'm so glad I've not been alone in my Flock pain! I'm moving to firefox too - Seang-Lim Tan

I've run into the same problems with Flock. I loved it when I started with it but now it refuses to open certain pages, etc. Tried upgrading to 2.5 but that gave me even more problems so downgraded back to 2.0. Loved Flock but will try using Firefox. - Gina - Gina McLeod

Frans: there was a Facebook change yesterday that made the People Sidebar cease working with Facebook. It should all be fixed today. More info at: http://getsatisfaction.com/flock... Anyone else with issues in Flock is more than welcome to post to that same site or email me directly! -Evan Hamilton, Flock Community Ambassador, evan at flock dot com - Evan Hamilton

Nice that you came here Evan and gave us that info. - Isha (Marysia)

Flock continues to work well for me. Had problems on the PC but on Mac it seems to work well. - Graham Hunt

Not had any problems with Flock at all, it still works like a dream! I assume I can still use Flock in this year's 30DC even if they are going to be using Firefox this time? - Paul Williams

I've used it for link building, it's really pretty good. Thumbs up! - Seang-Lim Tan

that is great, yes I'm also thinking of using it for link building - Mitja MG

Mitja, I use both AMA and Unique Article Wizard, which is a similar service. AMA submits articles to blogs, and UAW to article directories. UAW gives nearly twice the NUMBER of backlinks as AMA. Some say that the Google weighs AMA links higher because they come from blogs rather than article directories. AMA is ~$50/mo. and UAW $70/mo. Review both and see what fits your needs best (Ideally both!) Worth the money IMHO :) - Ritesh Lal

that is interesting, thanks for info Retish Lal - Mitja MG

Love both! - Ed Dale from BuddyFeed

I'd be interested in this also, I guess it would be an option in the adsense control panel in google. - TrafficBug

If it's a wordpress blog then deactivate the adsense plugin and reactivate it again to bring the ads back. - Andy Roberts

You can pause the campaign if that is what you mean? - Allison

Sadly not wordpress Andy, but thanks, it's an older Site Build It one. Yes, Allison, pause the campaign with the adds not showing on the site for visitors. Any hints?? - Rosie Peters

Adsense (as far as "I" know ) can't be paused, You are simply displaying ads, your not really running a campaign like you would with ADWORDS which can be paused. You say its not a blog, So... If your pages are html than just comment the script (ad) code out on the page(s). Like this <!--(space) adsense script code (space) --> That way the script (ad) code will still be in your page code... more... - Ron"micronet"Harwood

Thanks Ron! Much appreciated. - Rosie Peters

Ron's a treasure. - Isha (Marysia)

Amazon is only stopping payments to people who buy a PPC ad that links directly to Amazon. "If your own website has links to Amazon’s US or Canadian sites and you are using these or other similar services to send users to your own website, you should not be affected by this change..." from the FAQ. (Whew! Got worried for a second there . . .) - LJF Wolffe

That said, you could always check out commission junction (cj.com) or linkshare (linkshare.com) for affiliates, or go to another bookstore (Barnes & Noble, Powell's, etc.) if you want to sell a book on your niche. 8-} - LJF Wolffe

Yes I did, that plus what I learned in the Thirty Day Challenge. Are you a member of that? - LeighaB

Yes, that's how I got started in the crazy world of online marketing. - Michael Wilson

Gratz! - Seang-Lim Tan
