I received an email today from WIDGETBUCKS saying that my blog (1 of 4 submitted) was approved for their Ad Network.

Here’s what it said:

Dear Publisher,

Thank you for submitting your sites to be reviewed by our Publisher
Management team.

After reviewing your sites the following URLs have been approved for the
WidgetBucks ad network:

http://utube-yutube-videos.info

The Subject title of the email is “Your new WidgetBucks URLs have been vetted”… and I said, hmm.. I wonder what Vet (or Vetted) is.. Does it mean approved or disapproved?

At first thought, “Vet” looks like an Animal Doctor, right? Well, yeah but it has other definition… and now we will further build our vocabulary.

Now we will know it’s definition.. It means analyze, investigation, examination and evaluation.

Here’s what Google/Wikipedia’s definitions:

examine carefully; “Someone should vet this report before it goes out”

# Broadly, vetting is a process of examination and evaluation. Specifically, vetting often refers to performing a background check on someone …
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vetted

# Of or pertaining to an investigation, especially one that has been completed
en.wiktionary.org/wiki/vetted

From Internet, Verb
