School Projects are fun with Google Adsense
Okay, so normally I wouldn’t put something like this up, but I just had to share this with you all. In case you don’t know how Google AdSense works, it looks at what text is on a page and cross-references that with a database of ads and uses the most relevant ads to put on a page. So if you are on a page that talks about fight club, then you are going to see ads that say where you can buy fight club. Makes sense right? Well, their email program, Gmail, does the same thing. It looks at your text in the emails and gives you ads that pertain to that subject. I normally don’t even notice it because it is very unobtrusive and you don’t really think about it. But there are those times that it just doesn’t quite line up right.
So as you know, I am in school taking online classes. Well, we have to do group projects in many of these classes. Bad idea, but I have to do it anyways. And the thing is that it is hard enough to communicate in a classroom, much less online when you don’t actually see the other people. Well, we are having some difficulties with communication in our class. And as such, one of my group members has sent an email to one of my other group members and the Google ads are really funny in the email that I got. So I just had to share. The names have been changed to protect the not so innocent.
