You may have noticed that Bumble now has banner ads on Infidel Nation! Bumble knows what you are thinking. Has Bumble gone commercial? Has Bumble sold out his loyal nation of followers?
How dare you! Bumble is not morally bankrupt enough to do that! Bumble is however, financially bankrupt. So in short yes. Bumble has sold out! Well, he thought he had anyway. So far these ads have generated $1.09 which is being sent to an offshore account.
The ads are from an online program by Google called Adsense. Anyone with a website can apply for an account. It takes about two weeks for approval. Though Bumble suspects the vetting process took a little longer with his site.
Once approved, you can access your Google Adsense account. To put ads on the site you just need to cut and paste some code in a widget. The widget area will auto-populate with “relevant” ads depending on your page content.
When people come to your site and click through a banner to a site, your Adsense account is credited with a click through.
What’s that worth in money? Well let’s just say it’s not 30 pieces of silver. Like all Google-Logic, there doesn’t seem to be a clear cut answer to how much each click is worth. It is safe to assume that Bumble will never get rich this way.
What the ads have provided is some incredibly fun content when viewed in the context of Bumble’s site. The program is supposed to find ads relevant to your content. Easy enough if your site is consistently about one topic. Bumble tends to be a bit more eclectic. Since the best Google can do is look for keywords, satirical content is deemed relevant. This makes for some funny happenstances.
The ads change depending on what article you are reading too. For example when looking at your HORRORscopes you see some ads for CaliforniaPsychics.com and other horoscope/psychic peddlers. That’s relevant but not really content appropriate since Bumble’s HORRORscopes are a spoof.
Some loyal infidels have pointed out some other funny ad placement. No offense to Bumble’s sponsors by any means. These are fine websites with valuable services to offer. Unfortunately for many Infidel Nation is likely not going to bring them customers. Given the ratio of sarcasm to keywords, the site now abounds with these funny marketing juxtapositions. The more you click around, the more likely you are to spot a new one. Of course if you actually do need a treatment center please get the help you need through one of Bumble’s many addiction recovery sponsors.
Does this mean only an alcoholic attorney would sue Bumble, or only a teenage alcoholic would want to write abed articles for Bumble?
Vacuums? Cats are terrified of Vacuums! This is the work of that infidel pig dog Googlebot!
