Up My Own Ass

… yes, I just did that, I used that reference (skip to 1:34)

I was logged into Gmail today checking some mail and replying to some folks when I saw this on the right hand side of my screen:

You realize how those ads get there right? When those companies create ad campaigns, they type in keywords that they want to try and match their ads to. Given the email I was reading/replying to was about Dan Brown’s next book, I really have to wonder which exact keywords Shopping.com are paying for from my email that triggered that ad… and what text in my email made them think that female *******ing clips are a good eye-catcher for comparing prices online when shopping.

Super SEO fail… but then again, I did blog about it, so who knows… maybe it did work =/
