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

Emails and RSS n/a, as I prefer to travel by mouse. No apparent spam from giving you a genuine email address for commenting. All very civilised.
2: Yes, RSS. I have noticed that the entire body of the post is being sent. IIRC, up until a few weeks ago I only got a teaser with a “Read More” link. No adverts in the RSS feed.

I use Google Chrome and WUWT is on the Booksmark Bar. Our DSL provider uses Zone Alarm. I check WUWT frequently and the ads are sometimes interesting. I dislike the ones that close out the page I’m on for their own loading. When I can open in a new window – I often will, and often learn something. I just now opened Sentry Insurance and learned of trucking insurance. How I will use this info, I don’t know. Meanwhile, WUWT rakes in big$$ to rival Apple’s cash balance! Right on!
Seriously, no problems for me operating as I do.
Thanks, Anthony, contributors, and mods for WUWT.
I am getting the emails.
