some of the google ads are a bit.... weird...
for example, in a thread in L&R, a guy was asking something about height, and one ad at the bottom was an ebay ad for tall people, and the second ad was about meeting singles and other people that are tall! 'twas funny.

yeah, it isn't perfect yet, i mean it can it read your mind.... yet

it is the same case for google news, sometimes totally unrelated news stories and pitures get grouped.

so Laz if we click the same link 20 times, will it register each click as unique?

That doesn't work.
The banner can track your IP address i.e. the address that identifies your computer when you're on the Net. So if you're on dial-up, it might work if you disconnect/reconnect and click again. But if you have cable/ADSL or any connection where the IP doesn't change, then it won't register as a "unique" click and so BOS won't get 5c (or whatever it is).
So you could pretty much click it 100 times right now and BOS will get 5c

I'm thinking we should click on the ads and allow them to fully load before closing the window? Or do we have to play around and click at random stuff within the advertisment itself?

As soon as you let the page load, then it registers as a "click". In fact, you don't really even have to let it load, just let the window open for a couple of seconds and that should be sufficient.

Meh. Ads are automatically blocked. I WAS wondering about the gigantic white space there, though...
