It came up off of the title 'What do I care?'

I'm having a conversation about relationships with a friend? Can you imagine the Gmail ads that come up? You don't have to:

Ok, here's another one keyed to 'Jim'
You are not alone.
Chester Kelley is the alternative.
I have no idea who Jim McCrery or Chester Kelley are. But I do know that's 2 different ads so far off of the word 'Jim'.

Do they sound like cheerleaders to you?
My baby brother's getting married tomorrow. Hurray! I have it in my Google Calendar, so the default reminder came this morning. (Not like I was going to forget it!)
Kristy is the bride and new aunt. Our best guess is that 'Cory and Kristy' produced these four ads:
On top of it all, that first one might be a little sketchy (and I'm not clicking through to find out!).

Circular Google ad goodness
I email my posts to Blogger from Gmail. And I copy Christine so she can keep up on my posts without surfing to those weblogs or using an aggregator. So we're getting major circular contextual ads. The '4-chambered piggy bank ' post elicited:

how to meet women is a growth industry. Got served these on the 'Stop chasing women' post:

Testify!
Not sure why I got served this ad...
But, I can testify that it's a really great product. We have these and really like them.
The 4 chambers are Save, Spend, Donate and Invest. Great visual object lesson. Your child gets a dollar. Break it into dimes. Have them put 1 in Save, 1 in Donate, 1 in Invest, and then they can decide how to allocate the remaining 7. Or you can decide together. Great way to teach about money and to regularize your family's values. (Now, if only you adults would do so well... ;-)
Now, I'm not real concerned about teaching 7 year-olds to invest as long as they are learning to Donate and Save. Plus, at our house, so far, they want to save up for American Girls and Nintendo games, so there's not much immediate Spending.

Essays on puberty
Wil wrote an essay for the Greatest Grandparents of South Carolina essay contest. Got served these two crazy ads:

Google denied me an AdSense account. Here's the email:
It's funny. I felt shame at first. I have issues ;-)
The email was polite enought...
And I understand where they're coming from. Not that I was trying to game the system. But they have to really watch click fraud.
Hmm. Must think about this some more...
Hello Sean,
Thanks for your interest in Google AdSense. While reviewing your

If you manage or own another site on which you'd like to display Google
ads, you can resubmit your application with the new site. Simply log in

Thank you for your understanding.

Gmail Sponsored Links feedback
I noticed that Gmail Ads now include a 'feedback ' link that produces an AJAXy pop-up with the following copy:
That's a good addition. I've only used it once so far.
I think these Sponsored Links are (check all that apply):Include email text to help improve sponsored links in Gmail (preview)You can help us improve the usefulness of sponsored links like these by including your email text with your feedback.

First post
Google ads interest me, especially in Gmail.
This is a test to see if:
1. There would be enough good, daily content for a weblog like this
2. I stay interest in posting to it.
So far, thinking about it for a while, I have stayed interested, so maybe this condition will persist.
If I stay interested, or if I feel like I want to, I plan on serving Google ads on this site, too, to increase the Googly Ad goodness.
