Google Ads for RSS Feeds Goes Beta
flood6 writes "Google has launched their service to offer contextual ads via their AdSense program through RSS feeds. The program is currently in Beta but will allow webmasters who offer RSS feeds of their content to include ads in the feeds (which often appear on other websites or through aggregators); someone clicks on the ad, the owner of the feed makes a little scratch."
Scratch, eh?
Maude, eh?
Internet, eh?
Slashdot also has Google ads... no wait, slashdot is Google ads. Or ads for Google anyway.
Anyone care to work out the ratios of Slashdot stories per company? With all these "Google employee's cat stuck up tree again" stories, 10 bucks says Google comes out miles in front...
No! Say it aint so! ANOTHER typical beta-Google joke on a Slashdot Google article? Not funny.
Try not to worry about comments like that. If slashdot posted a story titled "Google employee crosses the street" (on the front page, of course, it's got "Google" in the title), there would still be people who would see it as the last straw and say "So much for 'Do no evil.'" It's hard to predict what about crossing the street they would consider "evil," but someone would seriously be offended, somehow.
Maybe something like, "It was probably because there was a black guy on the side of the street they were on. Google are racist bastards!"
Uh, how the heck was that a Troll???
Show me on the doll where his noodly appendage touched you.
