Incongruous ads on my websiteby: TimothyHorriganMon May 11, 2009 at 12:40:04 PM EDT |
As some of you may have noticed (but most of you haven't) I have a web site TimothyHorrigan.com, which has Google AdSense ads on it. Basically, I give Google a few square inches of space which they auction off to advertisers and if someone clicks on the ads, I get a cut of the proceeds. Right now, many of the ads are incongruously urging Gov. Lynch to veto HB436.
Some actual information from the WhoIs database is shown below. The NOM is based at the same address as a conservative think tank known as the Witherspoon Institute, which sponsors seminars like "Natural Law and Economics." |
My web site TimothyHorrigan.com contains, amongst all sorts of other things, a page of my testimony in favor of HB436 (and also against two long-dead bills which would have killed civil unions.)
I have Google Adsense ad placements on most every page: sometimes these can be incongruous. Currently the National Organization for Marriage (in conjunction with NH's own Cornerstone Policy Institute) is taking out pay per click ads on my web site (and other web sites related to NH politics) urging the viewer to contact Gov. Lynch to (in turn) urge him to veto HB 436. Part of me says I should block them--- however, this might be futile because NOM is using multiple domain names and I doubt I could block them all. And I do get paid a few cents (I am not allowed to say exactly how many) if someone clicks through. For the record, Google's zombie army placed those ads using a mysterious secret formula, and I do necessarily personally endorse the ad placements on TimothyHorrigan.com. I STRONGLY urge you to urge Gov. Lynch to sign HB436 (or at least to not veto it.) Here is some info about NOM, which is part of the Witherspoon Institute, an ultra rightwing think tank affiliated with Princeton University (and the infamous Peter Singer): Domain ID:D148085640-LROR |
