My blog has always been purely about geeky computer stuff: RIAs, Rails, Linux, etc. So I was quite surprised to browse to it today and find a political ad regarding one of California’s propositions in the left-hand sidebar. (Note to non-Californians: proposition == referendum). Google serves these ads directly, through their AdSense program. I have no control over what ads gets served. Until now, they have usually been relevant, since Google parses my blog and matches ads based on keywords it finds.
I apologize to my readers for this intrusion.
Since one doesn’t talk about politics in polite company, I’ve decided to remove all ads from my blog until after tomorrow – election day – when no doubt Google will revert to serving discreet text ads packed with warm acronyms.
