Ads On PSFK – Apologies & Call For Help

By Piers Fawkes on August 11, 2006

We have to apologize for some of the ads running on PSFK. No, no, we’re not talking about our pretty ones for our reports – we’re talking about all the ads Goodle Adsense is generating. You’ve seen them. We know you have.

You see, Google Adsense is a fiendishly clever system that predicts the perfect ad for the reader based on content and some other dark-magic. Anyway, the system must have gone wrong. Instead of ads for fast cars, boutique hotels, fine wines and expensive watches, we’re getting "make money fast", "make money blogging" and "email marketing software to spam your way to success" ads.

Somehow the system thinks you, readers, are a bunch of quick-buck, any-means-possible, ruthless, won’t-stop-at-nothing, buck-stops-here capitalist swine. It’s as if you all work in media and advertising or something.

Amazing.

So help us take these ads down. Find some budget to replace these ads with your products and services or even better, do a partnership where we can build some new content together. That would be fun, no?

Contact Michael about partnerships and Federated Media about ads.
