WTFrick? Download drifting? Free trial track? Schwaaah???

I'm too scared to click it. Jordan, I'm not questioning your choice in ad services, I'm just curious - do these things mean anything? I mean, I've seen stuff like "Free Bottled Water Downloads!" when someone in the thread mentions bottled water...

I'm confused! Has anyone actually checked this stuff out? :odd:
 
I don't think people click on them, they are just sort of there. I have gotten so used to them that I just kind of skip over them, not even thinking about them. The banner ads are nothing too. I rarely pay any attention as to what they advertise.
 
Yeah, alot of those ads are really, really stupid. I believe we can all thank Google's IPO for that - by allowing worthless ads which (appear to be) generated on the fly without providing links to any useful products and services, they are hurting me, themselves, and their other advertisers. You can read an interesting article on Google goofs like this right here.
 
Yeah, I've seen some prety interesting ones.

"Free break dust" "Buy your break dust here for less"

"new and used procrastination" "FREE procrastination"
 
Ahh, thanks Jordan! It was just really getting to me, I guess. I think anyone would do a double-take at, "Download Free Potatoes!"

:lol:
 
How about "Dog poop, new and used, look at deals now!"

:lol:

The ads really are very stupid.
 
That being said, the Google AdSense engine is supremely clever. To extract key words from crawled pages, and then deliver targeted ads based on those key words is very impressive. I run it on my Fantasy F1 site, and get very finely targeted ads.
