[lingerie] [psoriasis] [barbecue] [pomegranate] [cufflinks] [ceramic tile] [Cardinal Richelieu]

At the suggestion of my tech-weenie brother-in-law, I am now running Google Ads on my site. And my soul is alternately enriched and repulsed. [hunting socks]

On the one hand, a buck's a buck. (Well, almost.) And in the week since I joined I've made five of them—enough to buy me about 10 ounces of beer at any of my old neighborhood hangouts. (Sure, I could plunk for a pair of PBRs at the frat bar up the road, [Muenster cheese] but I've come too far in life to reduce myself to chugging hipster swill among meta-ironic pinheads. I'm somebody's father, for God's sake.) At this rate, with patience, diligence, and prudent re-investment, I figure I could have enough for a week's rent by Easter '07. [plasma screen]

The downside of all this loot is the thought that, right now, these words are being caressed by swarms of commerce-hungry nanobots [Willy Wonka] that are looking to match their ads [pointillism] with my content. (You may have noticed that after my post about Robert's glooey kerflooey, the ads were mostly for adhesives.) [cranial acupuncture]

As long as they're lurking, I might as well serve up something they can sink their little nanofangs into. [1965 Mustang] So in keeping with the Experimental Method, this post [widewale corduroy] should give the bots [hoof and mouth disease] several diverse topics to munch on [badminton], and I can just sit back [crisp Bibb lettuce] and see what new faces [Somerset Maugham] will steam up my little window of financial intercourse. [intercourse]

Godspeed, and happy shopping. [rampant consumerism is killing us]

And it totally ignore your spiked post and I only saw ads for Super Bowl related items, probably due to the previous post.

you are too [erectile disfunction] funny!

I get some of the weirdest Adsense ads on my site after mentioning the kids and their... foibles. My most memorable one was mentioning my 3 year old's "shoe fetish" - she likes wearing shoes ALL THE FRICKING TIME - including to sleep. Anywho, there were some very odd ads running for a couple of days - and I'm sure that the page with that post on it will always have some weird stuff on it.

It's fun though - I mentioned the "autographed" photo of the president and his wife I received when they were begging for election money, and all of the sudden all the ads were for pro-republican websites for about 7 days.... And I'm a democrat.

I was rejected by Google for having inappopriate content. I can't even sell out. Fuckers.

Can't wait to hear the stories that come out of this new move. Good luck! :)

The ads have already moved on to Mustangs. The bots appear to be sated.

Nothing yet about Cardinal Richelieu, though.

Still on the Super Bowl and Patriots tickets for me. Great experiment.

I refuse to do the Google ads because I'd like to be able to objectionable content on my blog. So my mother could read it.

Aw, nita stole my comment [viagra].
Congratulations, may many more fivers come your way.

ROTFL! I just put the adverts on my blogs as well and have been having the strange and overwhelming urge to work the word [pussy] into my posts all day.

Hey, I have one: I can blog about it can't I?

*pout*

HA...it took me a minute to figure out what you were doing..

I all makes sense to me now, yesterday when I was reading a blog and the person mentioned something about fungus...the ad beside the blog was about foot fungus ewww!!

I hope the bots aren't fondling my comments. I could be due for some seriously objectionable adplay.

How odd, I see ads pertaining to the Tsunami relief.

Hmm... I seem to recall a certain blogger claiming he would never stoop to such measures. Perhaps now that LOD has taken off into the stratosphere, other [Ikea furniture] considerations have taken hold? That said, I do agree it is an interesting experiment, and may have to pursue it someday myself, as soon as my little homespun site crawls out of its relative infancy. Oh, btw, this last post was hilarious.
