Nick's Ads by Google....

Post by ash »

....at the bottom of the posts. I'm fascinated by the way they change to suit the content of the post - have a look at the shaft seal post as an example. Who's responsible for the clever script? Google or Webcraft?

I wonder how weird a google ad we could generate?

Google does it - much too clever for me I'm afraid. Context-sensitive ads - they are all the rage. I just paste some code in.

It can produce some strange results occasionally though.
