6. The Google Program, Sir, is Not Too Discriminating

It seems basically to count the number of times a word is mentioned on a page, and match this to words in a rotating bundle of advertisments, and pop up the latter accordingly. If there is a lot of talk about someone or someplace, advertisements containing that name will appear.

20. Exactly..

... for those who don't get it, google AdSense.

Really pretty clever.

[Ecumenist]

7. Oh, thank God I can't see the ads!! My stomach can't take it. The best

5 dollars I've ever spent!! Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you!! Nightwatcher, you po' thang, I feel for you..

9. I popped into Freeperville today, and they HATE Huckabee. LOL.

[ecstatic]

18. Really? Why? nt

[Olney Blue]

19. Curiosity. I read a wide array of websites and newspapers to

try to sort out the truth. Then I make my decision about an issue. You don't?

[ecstatic]

22. LOL. I meant, why do they hate Huckabee? nt

[Olney Blue]

23. LOL. Talk about misreading a question! Sorry about that.

They don't heart Huckabee- they call him the "huckster" and other derogatory names- probably because he's too "librul."
It's hard to get inside the brain of a freeper- and I don't wanna!

:hi:

[ben_meyers]

10. Because they pay to be there maybe. n/t

[BadgerLaw2010]

11. Got ads for guns now too, thanks to all the shooting threads.

Who wants AR-15 parts?

[HughMoran]

13. lol - the fuckin ads are so stupid here

I can't believe they do anything more than make people despise their product - 'cept for the occasional liberal themed ones.

[L. Coyote]

14. Better things to do, no doubt!

One can specify to not run certain advertisers, but that is work and takes time.

[jkshaw]

15. I don't see them

Just Reid and Pelosi and others, and these are on the side

[Swamp Rat]

16. Because they come here more than they post there.

Are you also seeing K-Y ads too? :D

[Nye Bevan]

17. CLICK ON THEM!

Every time you click on them Free Republic or the Huckabee campaign pay a fee to DU!

[KharmaTrain]

21. Good...Let's Take More Of Their Money

Membership has its privilidges...I haven't seen any ads, but if those morons are stupid enough to have their ads placed here...hopefully Skinner's getting a few sheckles. It's like selling heating units in Baghdad. :rofl:
