Weird.
There is no other word to describe the type of advertising that keeps on appearing in the Google Ads boxes here.
One of the things I wanted to test with this ‘blog’ was the Google Adsense content checking type thingy. (Excuse my English 🙂 )
I wanted to see whether it would serve content based more on the text (ie. these ramblings) or would the fact that it recognises this as a blog win out…
So far the jury is yet to reach a verdict, but there is a definite tendency for it to grab the blog side of things more than anything else.
Hmmmm
Why is it doing that?
I originally posted the first part of this ‘article’ when this blog was an ‘island’. I’m not 100% sure about this theory, but I think that it no longer being an ‘island’ may have helped to some extent. In either case I’ll continue this experiment for the moment, as it doesn’t cost me anything apart from time.
it’s the odourless garlic ad I’m curious about…
When I click on ‘thoughts’ on your blog I often get an ad for ‘Facts about Garlic’, saying ‘try our odourless garlic’… now what could be triggering that??
We get lots of ads for blog related stuff on 9mmfilm.com, but bifsniff.com gets mostly humour related stuff, and very little blog related stuff… could it be that when the content is too varied to specifically match to an ad type and the page is identified as a blog it falls back on blog ads?
I guess you saw the ‘inappropriate ad matching’ section at http://gmail-is-too-creepy.com/
