Interesting links.

Adsense Idea

Wouldn’t it be neat if instead of requiring a crawler bot to visit the page the adsense javascript could actually scrape the page text that the user sees (like a screen reader like JAWS) and use that to formulate the ad in real-time? That would prevent people from cloaking pages for the adsense bot an would allow it to be used on pages that you must be logged in to view the content. I know it’s probably impossible, but it’d still be neat.

Blog Appeal


“I’ll have you know, that WordPress is very sexy. Just ask any WP site owner, they’ll say that their sex appeal has increased by a factor of 2 since they moved to WordPress. And you’ve never been moved until you’ve been moved by someone like me.”
I can attest to the first part. Shelley is doing WordPress/blog consulting to raise money for a new camera. If you’re in the market for that sort of thing, may want to drop her a note.
