shoemoney.com — Yahoo has a widget called MyBlogLog which (they recently purchased for 10 million dollars). People were a little mystified why Yahoo would pay so much for a widget. Turns out they are using it to track Adsense data to get a edge. (video included)

I'm not 100% sure (most of this script stuff was over my head) but on my MyBlogLog Pro stats page it logs all of my ad clicks and displays it for me. Maybe this is why they are collecting Adsense and YPN click stats?<a class="user" href="http://www.netbusinessblog.com/pics/mybloglog_ads.gif">http://www.netbusinessblog.com/pics/mybloglog_ads.gif</a>I asked this on his blog but it was just deleted instead of answered *shrug*

How is this desperation?

Interesting thing about it, I get 5 times as many ad clicks on mybloglog as google adsense gives me credit for.
