Ads

A perceptive reader asks, "why do you have an ad at the top of your blog?" Because I earn money if people click on it, apparently! So - click away! I just recently noticed that it was an option and decided to try it. Lots of other blogs have them, and I haven't been bothered by them. I thought it would be interesting to see what kinds of ads would show up. Apparently the way it works is this: once Google approves your blog as ad-worthy, they "crawl" your blog to decide what kind of blog it is and pick ads that they think will appeal to the readership. I notice that right now it's an ad for "Beowulf" - a film, I think. Google must think this is a highbrow blog!

Now it's suddenly regressed to Mother Goose and "parenting advice". What next?

Now we're back to the free gardening guide. This could be fun watching how this changes, LOL.
