Google recently dimmed its lights observing the Earth Hour. Whether using a black background conserves energy or not is debatable and depends on the type of monitor that is used. One attempt at saving energy by dimming the background on one of the most popular pages online is Blackle. Blackle was developed by Heap Media, a company based in Sydney, Australia and founded in 2005. Heap Media "is committed to developing and growing leading online services with global reach."

Test conduct by Google itself http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2007/08/is-black-new-green.html has proven that Blackle may save little energy with CRT monitors but will actually increase energy consumption with LCD monitors.
Because of this misconception, it has created a easy money making business for the creator of Blackle. It has been estimated by many SEOs that he should be pocketing over thousands of dollars each day from google ads.
Also it is very obvious that Blackle is violating Google’s TOS and adsense policy, “Publishers are not permitted to make prominent use of ‘Google Brand Features’”.
I personally think it is so unfair for other publishers that are putting huge amount of times and effort into writing quality contents for website to attract visitors and increase their income from adsense, while someone just violate the adsense policy and Google isn’t doing anything about it.
If anyone agree with me and want to stop Blackle, then just visit Google’s adsense violation contact form and lodge your complaint about Blackle. STOP BLACKLE!
