Write about some other things and you'll see other ads appear. This happens to me quite a bit in Gmail (where you can't "not have the ads" - the ads are what Google text miner thinks are relevant to what your message is about.)<BR/>Ad blockers can have unfortunate side effects, incidentally, such as rendering commenting or bookmarking via bookmarklets impossible. That Google toolbar is lethal from that point of view - I uninstalled it after a day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4455700514377143758.post-6777678382359393982009-02-10T11:42:00.000+00:002009-02-10T11:42:00.000+00:00I would hope they would be so discerning, yes, Bob...I would hope they would be so discerning, yes, Bob. There's just the concern that someone might think that because an ad appears here, I might be endorsing it.<BR/><BR/>And do feel free to click through, anyone who can see them - every click does indeed earn me some pennies. Actually I've just seen one I might take a look at myself - 'an innovative new way to put your blog, and more, online, apparently. Sadly I don't get paid anything when I take a look at the ads!Brian Clegghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12723555872580740773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4455700514377143758.post-24444616735422080662009-02-10T09:52:00.000+00:002009-02-10T09:52:00.000+00:00I would have thought that your readers would be su...I would have thought that your readers would be sufficiently discerning to recognise the less-than-useful ads. And click through anyway just to give themselves a laugh and you an extra couple of pennies.<BR/><BR/>Thanks to AdBlock, I don't see any ads, so sorry.
