I've spent nearly the past two years of my professional career hitting happy hours and working in Search Engine Marketing. Since I won't be making any extra money from the happy hours asides from drunken bets involving my clothing and dollar bills, I've decided to tap into my other resources and target minor profitability with a little online advertising. What you see above, loyal readers, is a Contextual Ad from Google. "What is this 'contextual ad'" you ask? Basically it scans or "spiders" sites for relevant keywords, and will present or "serve" an ad based on what it finds. My previous post on fast food chicken products yielded an ad for a Kentucky Fried Chicken franchise. It's also interesting to see day-to-day what kind of ads the spider will serve up next based on the content on this page. Wow - fun and profitability!My fellow blogger made 60 cents in a month advertising this way. Please don't get me wrong though; you, my readers, are more important than profit. If you find the use of advertising space either offensive or intrusive, leave me a comment and I'll compare the value of your visit to 60 cents and get back to you.
