Third day [1], and already I'm leary about Google's AdSense [2].
Earlier today it wasn't serving up ads. At first, I thought they took exception to my critical stance towards them, or of the disclaimer I have just below their ads and dropped me. But no, I was still signed up. It's just that for a period of time, Google just … couldn't serve up ads.
How odd.
Then, when it was working again, what do I see? An add for “Diary Of An Anorexic Girl” followed by an ad for “Fleming's Steakhouse” (at least the steakhouse is in Florida [3] and not Massachusetts [4]).
What is it with Google?
I've set up my site so that Google will index each individual entry [5], and yes, the Googlebot [6] is pulling up individual entries, so why can't Google match the advertising better? I thought the whole point of AdSense was targetted text based ads.
