Google Ads

--update I removed them - time to go chill out

I decided to try out google ads on recommendation from (e:shawnr). He uses them for his site at

Personally, I hate the flamming comericalism of it and I think it does a really bad job targeting the ads. It is easy on his site because it is all about games and gaming systems, but on our it is really diverse and it doesn't seems smart enough yet. But seeing as he makes enought to pay for his hosting, I figure why not try it.

What is the point of targetted ads when you have targeted ads that are fake. Like this one from (e:leetee)'s journal where it choose cranberry sauce because of some mention of thansgiving.

Buit notice the ad is for ebay. Who the fuck buys cranberry sauce on ebay? Nobody - that is such a lame, fake ad. Why bother with targeted key word ads when they are just blantant ads for other things. Hoenstly, I would rather just see a glossy ad for ebay than a fake one for cranberry sauce on ebay.

Peeps that log in do not see them and as it is free to log in I see no point in feeling to guilty. I might just get rid of them either way, but seeing as not one signle person has donated in over 4 months - I am really sick of paying for it all myself. Although, I love the project and promise it will not go away ever - i just need to figure out some other means of support.

Soon enough we will be moving to the artvoice space. The server is all set up now, I am just waiting for the new mac ton arrive to replace it before I move it. I also cannot screw it all together right now becaus eit is in the tortoise room and its too cold for Basra when I open the closet that the server lives inside of.

If it picks out a few more god things then it's gone.
