Running Notes :: Are the Google Ads Really Worth It

About Me...

I'm Kathy Brown and I've been an application developer in Lotus Notes/Domino since 2005.

Prior to working in IT, I've had numerous careers including an Investment Analyst and even an Actress (long ago and far away).

And I (try to) love running!

2 - Someone who makes their living at Lotus Notes and Domino has Google ads on their blog. Ads for products that offer to help migrate from Notes to Outlook.

Really? You don't get that that seems like a stupid idea? For whatever pittance the blogger might get from Google ads?

5 - @4 - Now why on earth would I do something as silly as that?

6 - @4, @5: The screenshot link in Nathan's comment suggests that he's not seeing the Google ads IMAGE that Kathy attached in her post. No idea why that's happening, but I don't see what that has to do with adblock...

7 - @3 - Yeah, okay. That would be confusing. Emoticon

Yes, Ben is right. I have an image of someone else's blog on my post. Not sure why you can't see it...

Anyway, said image shows Google ads with several Notes to Outlook migration tools. A pretty lame blog post if you can't see the image. Emoticon

8 - @6: it has to do with adblock 'cause the image is named "googleads.png" and that's trigger adblock's filter for "/googleads."
@7: you can rename the image to something like "puppies.png" to avoid filtering Emoticon
