Fun With Sponsored Links

posted by Smivey

I was reading an article in Forbes about how sponsored links on Google and Yahoo(!) are a good way to increase traffic to your site. Well, I’m sure this isn’t a new idea, but I decided to enter a few choice words into the Google search engine to see what kind of ads I could get. Here are some screenshots of the better ones:

That’s all for now. Incidentally, most X-rated searches didn’t bring up any ads. But I still managed to find ways around the system. That said, this is a fucking family-friendly blog, so I chose not to post those. All I’ll say is that when I clicked on one of the ads, it resulted in an eBay listing for “Bad Ass Toys.” Uh huh.

    Throw all that stuff together in a meat packing plant and you’ve got yourself a par-tay.

    Wow, I never thought of it that way. Thanks for the idea, C.S.D.
