Google ads in Gmail
August 3, 2008 9:54 am PDT | In MiscGoogle ads are “content-sensitive”. What does that mean?
- Case 1: My colleague worked overnight, so I sent an email to him in the morning: “Great work, have some good sleep then.”. Gmail popped up a sponsored link: “Sleep Apnea Cure”. Oh come on, my colleague sleeps very well…
- Case 2: My friend did not show up in a scheduled meeting, and he emailed me: “Sorry I screwed up today…. Could we meet late afternoon tomorrow”. The Google ads beside this email was “Date Hot Stanford Girls!”. ok, ok, I guess Google knows my geolocation, and “screw up” does have another meaning…
