Welcome to a forgotten corner of the ancient forest.
If you take a glance towards the top of The Green Man you will see some ads. These were placed there with the intention of the making The Green Man rich however he has been forced to make a significant adjustment in his expectations as to the money that is likely to flow from them. Revenue covers the hosting fees for The Green Man which is something.
You may not be aware of how these ads work, Google scans the content of the page and allegedly places ads that are consistent with the content of the site. This is a good concept except that the lexical analysis undertaken by the software is not sufficiently sophisticated to appreciate satire and as such The Green Man occassionally gets ads for stuff that is quite inappropriate.
There are also some ads that defy any attempt to explain how they appear. The case that has The Green Man completely bemused was the presence of advertising for Bush 2004 election campaign which appeared yesterday. (Which will probably now reappear because of that last sentence). The Green Man had been staying away from the topic of the US Presidential Election for a very important reason; namely that, not being an American citizen, it is completely irrelevant.
In spite of this, long term readers of The Green Man may have detected a slight anti-Bush sentiment in earlier posts, posts like "GWB From The Dead", "War on Your Mind", "George The Great", ah I am sick of posting them in, looking back George The Lesser has occupied quite a deal of The Green Man's attention and blog space over the last year. So it was with some consternation that The Green Man witnessed this add magically appear on the site and the first instinct was to ban it. Some further thought on the matter lead The Green Man to the view that there was some malicious pleasure to be gained from receiving a modest revenue stream from the GWB re-election fund. So if you see his advert appear at the top then please feel free to click on it in the knowledge that you are contributing to the hosting of The Green Man (just don't vote for him)

or read the most recent entries here.I can see a public service ad by google running at the top of your site. I have google ads running at the top of my blog, and recently I noticed that I have varous ads marketing products relating to Reagan. I did do two posts on Reagan since his death and I assumed this was the only post title that triggered an ad. What is stranger is that at the bottom of the google Ad banner is a line of text Related Searches: Reagan . Antisocial personalit y Disorder
I did do a post on book written about Bush by a Washington based psychiatrist. However my posts tend to vary and many people doing a search on the subject of Reagan or Personality disorders, would be disapointed.
Does the software scan the entier content of the site or just the headings. If it was the latter you could manipulate the headings to determine suitable ads for your sight. Since Blogger sites like mine are hosted by google in the hope of raising advertising, they should offer a feature where you could select Library if Congress Subject headings to describe your blog or post.
