Questionable Content

To quell government shortcomings and budget deficits, the IRS has begun to crackdown on unreported taxable revenue for companies, individuals, and blogs. Because of the possible Big Brother blitzkrieg on my blog's bankroll, I've decided to deploy this edition of ShavedGolf StoryTime as a preemptive strike to explain earnings.

My ascension from rags-to-riches is credited to the introduction of advertisements on this blog. Prior to the ad add, when my brain brood and written writings were clean of clutter, the blog was a pristine sanctuary full of knowledge and wit. However, once the pollution of capitalism was in place, it became clear that the blog's questionable content may lead to purely entertaining advertisements of little interest to the audience.

The below is a sample sidebar that may have missed the target audience rendered for...




First, let's tackle the Douche. Summer's Eve chose an ad tagline that would grab the attention of any unclean woman or describe any frat boy. Second, let's Make a Difference. BioGift is asking you to advance medical science with an ad powered by Google. Seems trustworthy. Third, let's ponder the Sperm Bank. What's your gut reaction to this ad title with the blurb "free photos" below it? Fourth, let's untangle the Umbilical Cord Banking. ViaCord.com felt it necessary to trademark the phrase "Bank with the cord blood experts." Smart thinking. And last but not least, let's...AURA by IATS. Huh? Is this for money laundering or a phishing scheme?

The titles are absurd. The taglines bizarre. The ads are just ridiculous. Despite your lack of interest in the wares, and forgiving the ignorant Google bot scanning the blog and posting ads, this is my admission: they make me rich.

While the rules of Google AdSense prevent me from encouraging viewers to click erroneously, I will encourage you to click on any ad that catches your interest. Because, let's face it, you smell, and really need to douche.

xoxo,
ShavedGolf
