Okay, I'm Back
If you hang around the internet long enough, people will mistake you for something else. The Grey Ghost blog is dormant proof of that.
One is, AdSense has got me schlepping weimarner dog wash for a year straight now. Part of that's my fault. If you don't post, AdSense has little else to go on but guessing at a hidden meaning for your blog name. Fortunately, for me and for AdSense, this is not CrotchRot.blogspot.com. To my knowledge neither AdSense or myself has moved any dog wash whatsoever. Just as we previously didn't sell any hammocks or any of the other crap that AdSense's logarithims mistakenly latched on to. I suppose that's not all AdSense's fault. A blog about nothing in particular is pretty far from target marketing. My problem is AdSense refuses to recognize any high end or big ticket items that I gratuitosly mention. I should be able to opt for some sort of Cadillac package of AdWords so if I get a hit it's at $5 a pop. Right now I think there's a pizza coupon at the bottom of the page. The world has enough pizza coupons. C'mon AdSense...Mercedes, Coach, Godiva, Dammit!!
Second, and I don't know if this is coming off the blog or a bad email address, but all of a sudden I'm getting inquiries for auto parts. Today a guy was looking for a transmission for a '98 Geo Metro. You know times are tough when people are repairing cars with parts that probably exceed the value of the car itself. I'm probably getting mail intended for Gray with an "a" Ghost, or the Gay Ghost, or Gary the Ghost at gmail.com. The polite thing to do would be to give them the "wrong address" reply. Not me. I'm going to run over to the blog and make fun of somebody's Geo Metro. Plus I get the added bonus of a week's worth of Geo Metro repair part ads splashed all over the blog. We know that in the world of Geo Metro owners there is one guy interested in repairing his '98 as opposed to the rest of the Geo Metro universe who would appropiately euthanize there vehicle at the first sign of major repair. We know this because the guy emailed me today. So now me and AdSense are going to try and contact him. Gotta like those odds.
