Well just got back from my vacation and what do I find on my liberal blog? The nice folks at google have loaded my blog with Republican and conservative ads. Hey I am just trying to earn a little secondary income but NOT from supporting Republicans.
Google Adsense Needs An Exorcist
I will be removing the Google Adsense ad program from this site. While they do provide a means to remove individual advertisers, once one Republican group’s ad is removed another one takes it’s place. Sort of like rodents don’t you think!
Anyway please bare with me while I read up on how to change from group ads to just search ads. The Amazon ads do long interesting though. Google Adsense works by analyzing the text and thus putting so called relevant ads on the space provided. What they never figured out is that when the issue is politics you need to find if the person is for or against the concept being discussed.
Thus with google Adsense if their “bot” were to spot the word “abortion” in the text it would generate an ad dealing with abortion from those opposed to those in favor. – WOW this from the people who drive me nuts with their S.E.O rules and regulations.
