The Ups and Downs of Adsense 26 JUN 09

Wow,

You plug along, doing your thing trying to inspire change of a positive sort and so you see an add adsense button on your list of options for your little free site on Google and you click it. Visions of cash flowing into your checking account cloud your judgment as you really could use the money to buy radio ads for Libertarian Candidates in the upcoming 2010 election cycle and so you let adsense do it's stuff.

And then you see an ad for Karen Handel's campaign show up on your website. That's ironic.

But you know, it's really ironic that the Handel campaign is shelling out hard won money to Google for an adwords campaign that results in them appearing at Bludgeon & Skewer. So whatever you do, DO NOT CLICK ON KAREN HANDEL'S AD.

Maybe one day we'll figure out how to monetize this thing to generate some funding for our own adwords campaign and we can show up on her website!

Update!!!  1JUL 09

It seems my commentary reference Karen Handel's ads showing up on my little website were premature. A buddy of mine clicked on it out of spite and money showed up in the adsense account! Now that's ironic-o-rama! Is it possible to talk bad about political opponents and then have them pay you to do it? Of course it is! So, I'd now like everyone who reads this to PLEASE CLICK ON KAREN'S AD AND VISIT HER CAMPAIGN SITE! Cha-Ching!
