Dollars and 'Sense

I signed up for AdSense.

Thus the public service announcement atop the blog.

When I'm "approved," they'll change it to ads targeted at you, my readers.

All six or seven or 10 of you.

I know, it seems I've finally sold out to The Man, but really, I just wanted to see what would happen. So click if you want. Don't if you don't. I think I might get paid if you click. But I didn't read the rules that closely.

Here's how I'm thinking it'll work. You'll log in, and it'll show you an ad targeted right at you. Except, my demographics are all over the place. I've got IT people, pastry people, public service people, movie people, journalism people, a couple of college students... and my mother.

But as I ponder possible targeted ads, I come up with:

1. Kitchen supplies (for Jin, that's an easy one)
2. Medical pharmaceuticals (for the Lesley, until she's all better)
3. Either some Web-design thing or some book thing (Stewie)
4. Places to buy DVDs (Aric, and Stewie, too)
5. Buying classified ads in the paper (my co-workers)
6. Refinancing your car (Freak)
7. Home mortgage applications (Freak)
8. Refinancing your student loans (Mike and the college crew)

And, of course...
9. Vacation destinations (Mom)

So watch for my brand-new ads! To borrow a quote, "Damn the Man! Save the Empire!"
