Um, why the Bush gear ads?

[knitter4democracy]

At the top of my screen, there are two Bush ads for people who like Bush. Why are they showing up here? Isn't Google better than that?

[NWHarkness]

1. Let 'em waste their money

I kind of get a kick out of seeing them, since they are throwing away their money by having ads here.

[Cha]

2. Yeah, if somebody buys

bush gear here it's an errant freeper.

[tuvor]

3. Don't the advertisers have to pay for each click, too?

Hmmm... :evilgrin:

4. Nah, the admins explained that google has some kind of mechanism

to prevent "serial-clicking" overruns.

But if you click it once or twice, it'll cost them a little bit; a little bit that will go to DU.

And every little bit helps, doesn't it?

5. The ads respond to content in the thread--somebody must've said Bush

I was reading a thread the other day and somebody had used the word "chickenshit"

I looked up and the ads were for Tyson.com, chicken farming supplies and some other chicken related something or other. Hilarious.

8. Now, that's funny.

Hmm. So, should we all click on the ads?

6. I think it's funny

it cost them money and then they get nothing from us in return. :rofl:
