An Experiment with my Blog’s Title
I’m getting sick of the Google ads on my side bar. I won’t mention what they’re about, lest I encourage them. We’ll just say one of the words in this blog’s title leads to ads for a product you typically find in your bathroom, closet, and bed room. So I’ve tagged on “Theology and Culture” in a half-hearted attempt to train Google to stick with my main subject matter.
Of course I have also blogged about Hillary, and of course an ad for “Hillary Clinton soda” has been popping up. Ack! How stupid. Who would click on such an ad? OK, maybe the curious, but I can’t imagine Hillary Clinton soda. What does it do anyway? What makes it different? Does it taste sweet at first and then turn bitter in your mouth? Does it only appeal to older women and blue collar voters? Does it stand by you even if you’re trying all of the other sodas on the market?
All that to say, if the top of my blog looks a little crammed right now, I’m just working on a little experiment. We’ll see if it works. I’m open suggestions from the designers who may know of a better way to train Google to get ads up there with a slight bit of relevance.
