Experimenting with Google Ads
October 1st, 2008
A small change to epolitics.com: I’m experimenting with Google Ads. Not sure if they’ll have a high enough response rate to be worth the extra clutter on the site, but let’s try ‘em out and see what happens. I’m running a “wide skyscraper” on the right-hand side of every page (below all the normal links) and a couple of small text ads at the end of every standalone article page (i.e., the version you see when you click on an article’s title or the “more…” button). Click away! We’ll run these for a month and then do us a little evaluating.

Hopefully you have better luck with them than I have had.
