Just read the latest Google press release about the company’s newest venture: a free in-home wireless broadband service called Google TiSP.
TiSP stands for “Toilet Internet Service Provider,” a “self-installed, ad-supported online service that will be offered entirely free to any consumer with a WiFi-capable PC and a toilet connected to a local municipal sewage system.”
Hmmm. Something smells foul about this announcement. Could Google be pulling our leg again? What’s today’s date?

Great post . . . Great april fools joke, too!
I’ve been reading for a while, and since I’m starting a new site I wanted to ask for some advice . . . I got a great (I think) new domain, related to martial arts and survivalism and have a basic idea of what I want to do with it, but I’m really looking for some great advise about the best way (other than adsense) to monetize a site like this, and the best way to drive traffic, other than normal SEO (meta tags, links, etc.).
I’ve already started a small scale link building campaign, and initially I’ll probably spend some money on adwords or adcenter, but any other advice you can give would be great, especially related to this niche!
