Google Ads

I've been investigating a bit more of what blogger.com has to offer us bloggers and have noticed that some people have ads on their blogs. I checked into it and managed to figure out how to put ads on mine (they pay) and today I earned 24 cents because 1 person clicked on the ad. Isn't this amazing?

It's also possible that they count the number of people who just read my blog but don't click on the ad and that somehow results in payment, too. It's still quite a mystery to me but at least I'm 24 cents richer today.

The biggest problem with these ads is that I don't get to choose which ones I want. Google just puts them on randomly and at whim depending on what my blog topics have been. Apparently they decided my blogs about the native sit-ins in Caledonia and Hagersville warrant a few ads selling native paraphernalia. They've also put some diaper ads in because I had one blog titled "Just a Diaper Ride Away" about the astronaught who wore a diaper when she went after her boyfriend's lover, and another blog about die-hards wearing diapers at the casino so they don't have to leave their seats. Someone isn't reading the content of my blogs before they assign me an ad.

Anyway, I'm going to play around with my blog titles and see if I can manipulate the ads I get. Like "Condom Minium" or "Death of a Petunia". What fun!
