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

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.

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.

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.

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