I have noticed some things happening recently that lead me to ask some questions.
1a. If you are subscribed to follow WUWT via email, where you get emails advising you of new posts, are you still getting those emails? For example, a notice of this post?
1b. If you aren’t receiving those emails, are they in your SPAM filter?
2. If you are subscribed to WUWT via RSS feed, are you still able to read it in the reader of your choice?
3. Are you getting any sorts of SPAM, phishing, or “unsafe” website notices for any links that might be embedded in those emails or feeds?
Please leave answers yes/no in comments.
The reason I ask is that WordPress recently flagged WUWT as a high traffic site, and added extra advertising, for which I get a few cents per click. But, at the same time I’m wondering if that has come with a penalty in the form of a raised SPAM score due to that extra advertising.
As always, thanks for visiting and thanks for your support. – Anthony

Same experience and sentiments as CJ. Enjoy the few cents you’ve earned it.
I just recently became able to read entire articles from your site in my rss feed.

Anthony,
1 a) I do not believe that I am subscribed to get email ( I am here 3-5X a day) anyway
1 b) N/A
2) N/A
3) I do get a great deal of spam the the associated email account but no more than usual.
I do get some spam/junk related to my participation here, notwithstanding 1&2 but It isn’t too bad.
My answers:
1) I do not subscribe to WUWT email updates
2) My RSS reader of choice is the Google Reader, and it works quite well with WUWT.
3) I have not received any “unsafe” warnings from any WUWT links in the RSS feeds.
As an aside, I also follow the WUWT update feed on Twitter, which is usually much faster than the Google Reader for new articles.

3. Are you getting any sorts of SPAM, phishing, or “unsafe” website notices for any links that might be embedded in those emails or feeds? PROBABLY e.g.
What I find interesting that ads specifically from South Africa follow me and appear on top of the new post when I open it. So my IP address identifies me and prompts an advert that they think I might respond to, depending on where you are from….
Emails come through whenever there’s a new post. No spam or similar yet.
I get WUWT via RSS (Google Reader) and Facebook. I’ve seen no issues or changes on either.
Thanks for all that you do!
