Weird Adwords

The Adwords on my pages are showing "Kruse on Ebay"
Eek! I thought, but it's actually true - they're showing Katie (Kathe)
Kruse dolls. She was a famous doll-maker a while back.
How weird, eh?

The eBay affiliates adwords are lame at best. I blocked those
affiliates after a week of giggles; but I honestly didn't think anyone
visiting my site would click on ads about "new and used sink odors" or
"new and used sick kitties. No bidding!" or other humorous offerings.
The ones shared on the results pages, on Google, can be equally
humorous ... such as "new and used vasectomy reversal. Huge
selection!" or, kid you not, "new and used virgin girls".

Carol,

You should put up a site or at least a page of these - very funny!

In Adsense you can filter out certain advertiser's - do a right click
on the ad then select "copy shortcut" then past that into notepad to
get the adword advertiser's URL shared [as the ebay ads are affiliate
placed - so filtering out ebay's URL is a pointless exercise; you want
the affiliate's URL.]
