google adsense

I’m posting this because I’m sick of repeating myself about advertisements on WRAL so the next time I’m asked about it I can just point to this post.

Google Adsense is context based and matches ads based on keywords. So on a post about how Obama is a pedorast, you may see an ad for Muslim singles. On a post about how Gays and Lesbians are prone to urinary tract infections, you may see an ad for a Christian medical organization. On a post about vomiting up copious amounts of fruit loops, you may see a Democratic Party ad.

Adsense does allow you to block these ads.

I’ve become ad blind and no longer look at the ads, I hope you can do the same.

Oddly enough -- your blog gave me an ad about back pain. I'd ponder what was the context word but I know you don't want to answer that question any more.

It keyed in on sick and tired, the first sentence.

LOL ...I'm showing Google Analytics..."Enterprise Functionality made smarther, friendlier and free." Has this anything to do with StarTrek?

I don't know what Adsense is? put a bit of background info in so the ad makes sense to the likes of me, please.

Old, everything to do with Star Trek. For some reason I always get dating site ads with pictures of young ladies from Clayton.

DJ, It's the box below the Golo search box. It's watching you and me.

Now it's Embarq warning me about viruses and ugly rashes.

I just use the Adblock extension for Firefox.

"It keyed in on sick and tired, the first sentence."

Actually, I was attempting to be a smart azz--what with you not wanting to repeat yourself. :-)

Old, I hope that rash clears up. I use baby powder this time of year when I ride.
