    Why in the world is are all the McDonalds ads showing up on Priuschat lately?

    Google ads are supposedly driven by subject matter on the site they are on and by user interactions. Well I don't go to ANY site linked to or about fast food, so it must be the monopoly car.

    I thought Google ads were ONLY text.

    Nope. They can be text or images.

    I first saw the McDonald's ad while reading the post on the Dunst thread about a chubby guy snarfing down a Big Mac and McD fries while pulling into a handicapped place. I thought it funny that google adsense had keyed off of that post. But I do see them on other threads more that I would expect. Maybe the ad is some sort of default based on the $ McD has pumped into the google campaign.

    Since we are providing content, shouldn't we be getting a cut from the advertising revenues? :)

    LMA - Unfortunately Google ads DO NOT care that I've been using MF for years! I can't imagine what the IE users are seeing on here.

    Right. It has entertainment value, I guess.
