Having never been one to look a gift horse in mouth (- indeed, I am neither sure of what a gift horse is nor clear about the dangers it's mouth may pose), is was fascinated by the opportunity to 'monetize my blog'.
Essentially, with little effort from me and with a little binary and Boolean wizardry, a series of hi-tech gadgets will place adverts 'relevant to the content of your blog' on your page. Now, I should have heeded the first warning that all may not be well when Jon remarked upon Amazon.com's recommendation of 'Mid-life crisis: The Musical'. Imagine my horror, however, when - in a moment of curious self-obsession - trialling an iPad demo'd in the Apple store, I saw Google's contribution to my blog: Click here for the sexiest Polish girls on web... What the hell? I've somehow inadvertantly become a cyber-pimp!! ...
The thing with Adsense is that commission can be earnt from visitors from your blog visiting listed sites. If I were more unscrupulous I might have tacitly encouraged you to do so, but please, for heaven's sake - especially my male friends out there - do not click on these links!
I can imagine wives and girlfriends seeing 'sexy Polish girls' on your browser history: "You must believe me; I was only checking this out for Mike. He's on commission you know!". But, if you are single and curious I offer no recommendation for this or 'Sarah Beeny's Dating Site"... Perhaps I'll just stick to 'Mid-life Crisis: The Musical'...
