Google Ads Hates Me

With Brew finally getting around to relaunching his site as well as giving Myers a blog as well (relax, I said ‘blog’ and not ‘blow job’), I was feeling some pressure to update my blog as well. Apparently one posting since October wasn’t quite cutting it. When Brew is the one telling you to get off your ass, you know your ass really needs to be gotten off of.

The end result was that I made a posting yesterday declaring…nothing in particular. But on the upside, it did double the number of postings I’ve made in 2006 and was also the source of the new motto. It should have been the best of times (on the relative scale, after all this is just a blog). Instead, I noticed the ads in the lower right corner. Scroll down, you’ll see them.

They’re provided automatically by Google, and are theoretically matched to the content on the web page. As we all know, Google is never wrong. They’re smarter than you or I. And in their infinite wisdom (wisdom so infinite that they know better than to start a sentence with ‘And…’) they/it determined that the most appropriate products to advertise here would be… random crap.

One time it was various noise control products. Another time it was a few different drinks. Who knows what it will be when you read this. Apparently this blog isn’t worthy of products people would actually want to buy.

I’m not sure what those ads say as a statement about what Google thinks of this blog, but it doesn’t seem to be a good thing. Hey – I’ve never claimed to be trying to save the world or anything. I’m just a guy typing in some random bullshit and occasionally including some links to weird stuff. On the upside, this might have created an unexpected little game – each day you can come back to see how weird the ads are. Let me know the weirdest thing they advertise.

In the mean time, let me know if you’re interested in learning more about sound proofing products.

Coming Up With Titles Is The Hardest Part

What do you do when you have nothing to say and plenty of time to say it? You get a blog, and then you don't update it.
