May 6th, 2009 in Recently I was holed up out back of beyond working on a book I’m writing.
Came lunchtime I made myself a sandwich and started reading an eBook called 279 Days to Overnight Success by Chris Guillebeau (“an unconventional journey to full-time writing”, free and recommended).
On page 42 he said, “[Google] Adsense ads suck.”
Chris had two reasons for such a strong statement:
“First, do you believe in and endorse the solutions that the companies advertising on your site are offering your customers? Second, do you want to send your hard-earned visitors away from your site?”
Hmm, I thought, food for thought… Finished my sandwich and started a new chapter called “Suck It And See” (I’ll explain another day).
Then I had another thought: I wonder if everyone will know what that little bit of slang means…
So I googled “Suck It And See” … and got to a helpful site that defined the meaning, gave its derivation – thank you Google – and advertised, “Horny Ladies… For Free… No Registration!”
Hmm, I thought, I see what you mean Chris.
Cheers, Ian
