But what I find interesting about it is the kind of ads it creates. It's supposed to "read" your content and select ads based on what your page is about. I actually kinda respect the concept here, because at least the ads are trying to be relevant to people who are reading the site... people like you. It's not like going to a TV station's website and seeing ads for refinancing your mortgage.

So on fourhman.com's video games page, you'll see ads for video games for sale. Perfect. On the card games page, it's currently generating links for Yu-Gi-Oh cards. I guess that's more or less okay.

It gets a little hazy from there on out. The Pokemon Sapphire Diary turns ads for precious gems... despite the word "pokemon" being 10x as common as the word "sapphire." Perhaps I need that accent over the "e". The Animal Crossing Log has the service completely stymied, so I added a short introduction using the words "Nintendo" and "game" as many times as I could.

As for this weblog stuff, who knows. Everything was video game related until I wrote that posting about showtunes and now I'm getting ads for Annie sheet music. Always in motion is the future.

Anyway, although it would be nice if those ads would cover my hosting bill, I'm not worrying about it. Consider it more of an experiment in robotic intelligence, as Google's spider apps do their best to understand this site and create ads that make sense. And if you see something you like, I hope you don't get ripped off by the end vendor. Now for some random keywords I hope will generate some Good Deals For You.

Wireless router. Apple Macintosh. Comic books. The Simpsons. Harry Potter. T-Mobile Sidekick. iPod. Resident Evil. The Muppet Show. Star Wars. Dragon Ball Z. Yoga DVD. Surround Sound. Super Monkey Ball. Maine Coon. Superman.

Or maybe you'll just see more ads for Broadway shows.
