In my former life as a dotcom entrepreneur, I used to make speeches about targeted internet marketing

The Google ads on my blog are targeted based on content ("content" being whatever I happen to be blogging about lately). As of this posting, the ads on this page are currently all about pumpkin pie and other pie recipes.

However, if you click on any individual post (such as to make a comment), the page for the post has its OWN targeted ads.

The post below about the parking tickets of foreign diplomats is carrying an ad for "BEAT NYC PARKING TICKETS!"

This page is the most bizarre -- I mention Plato in the post, and the ads say things like "$200/Hour in Plato" and "Plato jobs". I think Plato must be a city as well as a philosopher.

Best of all, on the page for the post just below this one, which mentions my best friend Molly Crabapple, there is an ad for "Flowering Crabapple Trees."
