Title: Absolutely hilarious!
Post by: Jer on April 23, 2008, 01:32:30 PM

So I just caught something on here that had me in almost in tears on the floor laughing!

I don't know if it's on purpose or not, or if anyone else has noticed and already commented on it, but I happened to catch a glimpse of the "Ads by Google" bar at the top, and all 4 of the ads listed were for hair loss treatment!

Yeah, that happens!  I try to catch them and then stop them from showing, but they are relentless in how they advertise.

Obviously they don't bother to see what any of the sites they ad on are really about..kinda scary!

The ads are keyword-generated. The filter is seeing keywords such as "bald" and "hair" and just pulling up related ads.

Yep!  I wish Google would allow me to set keywords to give priority.  That way I could set it to shaving and head shaving, beer, motorcycles...etc.

I think it is just bot generated. No humans involved.
