Google text ad previewer

This Google Blog
post lets you see what text ads Google AdSense would serve with your
website. Much fun to be had.


I’m not sure what I should think of href="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/ads?client=ca-pub-8311772426141155&format=120x600_as&url=http://wlonkly.livejournal.com/">my
results. (There was nothing there yet for “mendel.livejournal.com”,
just “wlonkly”).


Four ads for charities means it didn’t have anything specific for you.

    All my sites just get charities — American Cancer Society, Peace Corps, etc.

    All your sites have nearly-blank title pages! :-) I also have a suspicion that low-pageranked pages get the charity ads, which Google is probably running for free. My own website has a strangely high pagerank, but I think that’s because I keep my URL in my .signature and post to mailing lists — the mailing lists are linked to from high-pagerank sites, and I’m linked to from the mailing lists, so I’m somehow important.

    A while ago I discovered that those charity ads aren’t necessarily apropos as default ads.

    Mine too, with the exception of my LiveJournal pages–which end up all serving up Everquest ads(!?). I have never even played it, yet still dislike it.

    It seems to think http://journal.callete.com/ should have a DuckDuckGifts ad, whereas http://asciident.livejournal.com/ should have all the charity ads.

    Funny, as they go to the same place.

    It’s a bad thing when all of your potential ads are for HerbalLife, right?
