This is fairly amazing
Ok, so you all laughed at me for sending an email to Mark Cuban. That's cool, I don't really think he is going to respond either. But I don't think that a reason to quit trying. It's not like I am buying lottery tickets. It doesn't cost anything to send an email. On to the fairly amazing part. I posted that email to Mark Cuban on the blog yesterday, right? Well, here's how quick things happen. I don't know if anyone has noticed, but there is a Google Adsense box at the top of the page. These ads rotate on fairly complex rules that I am sure Google considers to be proprietary. Anyway, What advertisement do I see today - approximately 16 hours after posting the email to Mark Cuban? "Mark Cuban Apparel Official Site - Dallas Mavericks Wear What Mark Wears At The Game! http://www.mavgear.com/" Pretty freaky, huh? It's called contextual advertising. Google Adsense actually monitors to see the topics on a blog and serves up ads to meet the topics. So let's try a little test, shall we? If you happen to leave a comment, type in a brand name and lets see what happens. Here are a few from me: Tyson Fried Chicken Audi A3 Home Depot Second test, click on one of the ads.

I don't think it has anything to do with the blog topics. It probably is because you added a link to his site. The bots go through and look for links.
