Google Ad-words Poetry Project
hecticjames writes "Cute idea - buying google adwords to place poetry. The site also includes google's response." The page is a really interesting look into Google's
text ad service, and has a lot of interesting statistics about the relative
value of art and porn. It's really worth a read.
Many Google posts
So many are repeated
Taco is obsessed
I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate.
jesus: $25.59
clickthroughs the adword 'troll' generates
This is not a dream, not a dream...we are transmitting from the year 1-9-9-9.
I like how God is worth $10.46 a day but
gay + sex ($2,239.56 + $3,836.79) is worth $6076.35 a day.
I wonder what "John Lennon" is worth, he may be right about being bigger than Jesus.. heh Ah, stratification is fun!
I wonder how much the word 'google' is worth?

Hello. I am the automated performance monitor for Google AdWords Select. My job is to keep average clickthrough rates at a high level, so that users can consistently count on AdWords ads to help them find products and services.
The last 1,000 ad impressions I served to your campaign(s) received fewer than five clicks. When I see results like this, I significantly reduce the rate at which I show the ads so you can make changes to improve performance.

Hello. I am the automated performance monitor for Slashdot. My job is to keep average moderation rates at a high level, so that users can consistently count on Slashdot to help them stay informed on "Stuff that matters."
The last 20 posts you made received a score of zero or lower, and by the way I noticed most of those said something to the effect of "FP" or "Furst PoZt". When I see results like this, I significantly reduce the rate at which I show your comments so you can make changes to improve the meaningfulness of your posts.

Free love from Google costs $8,833.95. Damn, that's a hell of a lot of free love.
Google charges $3,836.79 per day for sex. Will somebody tell me what they charge for a blowjob?
Okay, I asked if he could see how stuff like "vi/emacs/joe/word/koffice" or "gnome/kde/fvwm" or "linux/windows/bsd" would rate. Let's end all those flamewars once and for all with a pretty accurate non-scientific popularity contest.

Help me hope he'll put it on the page.
Creative poet,
writes poor quality poems.
Google dissaproves.
"Your superior intellect is no match for our puny weapons!"
I never saw her Google Ads;
I never hope to see Any;
But I can Tell you, Anyhow,
Her poetry's not worth a penny.
One thing I'll never understand about Google, as my signature notes, is why the spellcheck keeps on trying to replace "the men who killed kennedy" with "the man who killed kennedy". Am I missing something grammatically here? Do only singular nouns kill?
e +WHO+kille d+kennedy
:-D
Oddly, this occurs only for the full prase "the men who." "The men" or "men who" will not cause google to suggest "man"
Equally intriquing, the phrase "The WHO killed kennedy" causes Google to point to Elvis as the assasin!

Man, I want 0.25 of an ounce of what this guy's been smoking.
Still, I suppose it takes all types. I'm a mathematician, and while I think this guy's language is full of BS, anyone who isn't in mathematics reading one of my papers would probably feel the same about my writing.
