Thank you for your profound thoughts and the enhancement you have brought to the discussion here at the Ducks. Please feel free to stop by anytime and share more of those pearls of wisdom with us, if we may only be so fortunate as to bask in your wisdom once again.<br /><br />Jackass.j.m. neebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17100118942932650408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9182047536013030562.post-84585083649812522382010-08-06T16:25:02.087-07:002010-08-06T16:25:02.087-07:00Okie - You know, not only do I get ads that have n...Okie - You know, not only do I get ads that have nothing to do with whatever I'm writing about -- which, admittedly, tends to be "about nothing" ("This is pretty much the blog version of Seinfeld!" will be the new motto one of these days.) -- but I've also gotten ads appearing for "Ducks B Gone" or something along those lines. <br /><br />Now, given that this is "Ducks Out Of A Row," why would I want the ducks to be gone? Why would my readers, the potential advertisees -- go with it folks -- want to click on something that advocates getting rid of Ducks? Answer: They wouldn't and, in all likelihood, didn't.<br /><br />Another example I can think of was a blogger I follow (I'm kind of sure it was "Sara Without an H," but not positive) had been talking about d-bags who wear polo shirts. At the bottom of her blog was an ad. "Express - Polo Shirts Half Off." (Or something to that hilariously inappropriate effect.)<br /><br />Gotta love blog ads, huh?j.m. neebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17100118942932650408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9182047536013030562.post-33642222224317066362010-08-06T16:16:50.021-07:002010-08-06T16:16:50.021-07:00Karen - My two cents?

If I was truly technologically adept -- and loyal readers know that I am not -- I'd try to create some kind of Outkast/Bill Cosby mash-up. It would be genius and take the Internet by storm. Then I would sell my newly acquired Internet to the highest bidder (probably Bill Gates, but let's not rule out Jay-Z here...) and retire to a tropical paradise. Also, I'd buy a gold-plated dog dish for the Tweakster. (Maybe -- and I use the word in its most definitive term -- I'd do the same for Kitty Meow and Allie Cat... but only if they are nice.)<br /><br />Eh, it is probably for the best that I do not possess that kind of ability.<br /><br />Lydia - Thank you so much! I'm now going to take a careful -- so as not to break my hip -- sip of my tea to creaky backs. Cheers!! ;)<br /><br />Dorn - Trust me, any VH1 synopsis of Jerry Maguire will undoubtedly contain everything you need to know about the movie. (p.s. I'm a huge fan of the VH1 "I love [fill in the decade]" series... except for all the wasted time I can spend watching them.)j.m. neebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17100118942932650408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9182047536013030562.post-56645045118486224382010-08-06T15:56:31.694-07:002010-08-06T15:56:31.694-07:00Jolene - Thank you so much!!

I mean, I sometimes worry about the long-winded nature of my writing, but the reassurance is awesome. :)<br /><br />p.s. Our beloved editor does still have hair, but mostly he wanders around, mumbling to himself and sighing almost constantly. (I'm quite worried about him.)<br /><br />Tara - 33? Do people really live that long?? (Perhaps the fresh Canadian air and lack of unnecessary violence helps?)<br /><br />Rebecca - Thank you kindly! More reassurance!! I love it and am feeling truly spoiled. (By the way, I was in a bookstore a couple days ago and couldn't stop thinking about "Retail Wednesday" stories. I kept chuckling to myself while thinking about some of those encounters.)<br /><br />Laura - Thank you for the b-day wishes! I actually had a rather nice one and am still feeling a good "buzz" from it. (Uh, that is not at all related to alcohol. I swear!)j.m. neebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17100118942932650408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9182047536013030562.post-39363178545516963312010-08-06T02:30:34.221-07:002010-08-06T02:30:34.221-07:00Hi,

I've added the general "analytics" tag to the bottom of each of my posts to help capture RSS readers, but I haven't yet wanted to put the google ads into the feeds themselves...mainly because it seems like the "context sensitive marketing" from Google is never quite as context sensitive as it should be. The resulting ads they put up never seem to really apply to my blog content and thus I doubt anyone will ever click on them (without my begging them to).<br /><br />I do, however, add amazon links to some of the various posts I make and I have had people click through on those. I think the cash out point for amazon is $25 and I'm currently sitting at a cool $8 of hits...woo-hoo!Okiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01393689307300304035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9182047536013030562.post-60328386204615190202010-08-05T06:23:40.428-07:002010-08-05T06:23:40.428-07:00I have still never made it through Jerry Maguire f...I have still never made it through Jerry Maguire from start to finish.

That was like 3 weeks ago and it's already up by 1000. So now I'm all flummoxed as to what to do. Should I just start over at 0? Or leave it? I'm kicking myself for not adding it when I started my blog. The count is really interesting.
