Google Adsense

I hate adds (even smooth textual ones). I couldn't imagine myself clicking on one ( unless it says "hay come earn a Ph.D at Stanford and join Knuth's Tree and tailed with "PS: we will forget all about bad marks u got for non-cs subjects" ).

Yet I find my HCI lecturer saying "it's bad yet a must" very execusing for the "468x115" banner up here !!! . A bit of inconsistency hah.. U hate ads and in the same time provide them to others .

Well.. this special banner is very funny. Entities there aren't adds or "direct ones" at least , they are categories that google adsense indexer(not Bot?) found most relevant to the contents of this blog. So a level of indirection is introduced here. allowing more decent persuasive non eye-hurting way to advertise

if u r willing to be exposed to adds of category X1 X2 X3 that is found so relevant to the web page u r currently browsing
then do click on any!!!

then the inconsistency is the misleading "Ads by Google" it should've been "Categories by Google" or "Tags by Google " !!!
