Earth Day 2007 in Balboa Park

Our annual EarthFair in Balboa Park (San Diego) is the largest free annual environmental fair in the world. EarthFair 2007 will be our 18th anniversary. Each year, the EarthFair draws around 60,000 visitors.

Produced by 400+ volunteers, EarthFair features more than 200 exhibitors, special theme areas, a Food Pavilion, a special Kids’ Activity Area, five entertainment venues, the Children’s Earth Parade (All Species Welcome) and Alternative Fuel Vehicle Parade and Show.

This year – for the first time – for-profit organizations will be allowed to sell environmentally-beneficial goods and services. Earth Day is on April 22.

Uncle Sam Gives an Extra Day to Pay

Individuals in six eastern states and the District of Columbia will have an extra day until April 17, 2007, to file their 2006 returns and pay any taxes due according to the Internal Revenue Service.

The IRS said that these taxpayers served by the Andover, Mass., IRS processing center will receive an additional day to file and pay because April 16, 2007, is Patriot’s Day, a state holiday in Massachusetts. Thus, the April 17, 2007, deadline will apply to individuals in Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Vermont and the District of Columbia.

By law, filing and payment deadlines that fall on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday are timely satisfied if met on the next business day. Thus, since April 15 is a Sunday in 2007, taxpayers in most of the country will have until Monday, April 16, 2007, to file and pay. But Maine and Massachusetts observe the third Monday of April as Patriot’s Day, which in 2007, falls on April 16.

The Boston Marathon is run on Patriot’s Day day every year.

Tax season doesn’t need to be stressful. Browse our software solutions to find exactly what you need — quick, easy and accurate ways to finish and file your taxes without all the headaches.

AdSense Referrals Beta

Google sent me an email yesterday about being selected to participate in the AdSense Referrals Beta:

* Earn extra revenue on a cost-per-action basis
* Select ads from hundreds of AdWords advertisers as well as our standard Google product offerings
* Select a list of relevant keywords for your site and let Google figure out the best ads for your site
* Customize your referral ads to match the look and feel of your site
* Track the success of your referral units with custom channels

Note that AdSense Referrals are different from Google Referrals (listed below)

• Google AdSense - Ad revenue for web publishers
• Google AdWords - Targeted online advertising
• Google Checkout - A faster, safer way to shop online
• Google Apps - Communication and collaboration tools for businesses and organizations
• Firefox plus Google Toolbar - Improved web browsing
• Google Pack - Collection of essential software

AdSense Referrals
Unlike with AdSense for content ads, you can endorse referral products by calling attention to the button or text link. For example the travel related ad that follows might take you to a guide to Vegas hotels or some other travel keyword product. The ad rotation process (if you select both a single product and keywords) is something I have yet to figure out.

Here’s an edited list of categories and keywords that are currently available to promote:

Automotive - cars car-rentals used-cars reviews
Business - sales automation performance-appraisal health-plans
Computers & Electronics - computer laptops pc parts magazine trade publishing business media industry
Entertainment - hollywood rental movie game games video-game video-games rental online
Finance & Insurance - credit loans mortgage home bankruptcy life-insurance health-plans
Food & Drink - coupons coupon grocery-coupons
Games - games video-game rental
Health - health-insurance health-plans weight-loss lose-weight
Industries - renovation bathroom renovations renovating industry
Photo & Video - gallery photo-gallery photo-album image

Shopping - coupons coupon shoes computer laptops
Telecommunications - cell-phones wireless routing internet router phone
Travel - travel adventure trips vacations

Referrals Beta answers to common questions is a good place to begin for more information about AdSense Referrals.
