Adsense is like “big brother” watching!
I had a great dream last night – it was about chocolate!
I actually dreamed I was writing for an advertising campaign. I even remember this poem from my dream…
“What does chocolate do for me?
It’s comfort food when you’re feeling low
It’s something to grab when you’re on the go
It’s smooth as silk
It’s made from milk
Comes in a box tied up with a bow….
Tacky eh!
The reason I’m telling you this is because it’s a great experiment to see if the Google adsense on my blog actually does start selling you chocolate. If it does…please let me know! Fun eh!
But seriously, aren’t these new technologies amazing! If we were living 100 years ago we’d be using the ducking stool rather a lot wouldn’t we?
But we’re not living 100 years ago, we are in a time when we allow crawlers to access our online homes and invisible robots to fight our online battles against them.
We can talk to anyone we want with the click of a mouse and find out about anything we want by Googling it!
Have you ever wondered how Adsense came about?
My research tells me that it was owned by a private company called “Oingo” based in Los Angeles. In 1998, two guys, Adam Weissman and Gilad Elbaz invented what they called a search algorithm that recognised words and their meanings. This was then developed by Princeton University.
After changing it’s name, Oingo was bought by Google in 2003 for $102 million.
Not a bad night’s work for Weissman and Elbaz eh!
Just because you have a bad memory…..
….there’s no reason to be rude!
I have mailing lists going back many years and decided that I would have a clear out. I was afraid to just hit the delete button in case some of the people would still be interested in what I have to say. So I decided to upload them into my mailing program in order to clean them of dead addresses and to give the people who were not on my wavelength the opportunity to un-subscribe.

Email Marketing using Auto Responders.
Sales letters through your letter box are hated by everyone. It’s unwanted, uninvited and fills your re-cycling bin. But it’s pretty clear that it’s also incredibly popular with advertisers. Why? Because while most potential customers throw away their junk letters with barely a glance, enough take action to make it all worthwhile.
They do buy—and in high enough numbers to more than cover the cost of those who don’t.
Email marketing is pretty similar, but with one important difference: on the Web, you can only send marketing emails to people who have already chosen to receive them. A bit tricky!
On the other hand, because those people have already chosen to receive your emails, you can be confident that they’re going to be interested in them.
So how do you get these valuable e-mail address? Read more
“Success – To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived; this is to have succeeded.”
