In either case that I mention, context is not considered and the ads are not relevant. For example, there is an area in natural language processing called "word-sense disambiguation." In that problem space, we attempt to teach a system to understand the difference between "I fish for bass" and "I play the bass." In both sentences, the context is different, but the word "bass" is used and is spelled the same. A system has a very difficult time understanding and digesting context. Long story short: I don't think those ads are contextual. hmmm, I’m pretty sure those ads are not contextually rendered but, rather, rendered based on some random seed or by a forced key-word approach.

OK, I see what you mean now. I keep seeing some calipers and a $4.99 control chart eBook. I am not so sure about these ebay ads. Perhaps they need a good Lean Six Sigma guru to optimize the system.

I was questioning the relevance of that ad, that's all. I don't care if you have ads, it just seemed like a silly choice eBay made. There was an eBay ad for a trencher.

I never thought of it as a landscape irrigation trencher. I am working out the details with some sponsors and will likely replace the eBay ads with small company logos. Trust me I am not blogging for the money... if that were the case I would go back to the Maid Rite Sandwich shop where I made $3.35/hour... which is tons more than my blogging income! I have spent several hundred dollars on this sites design and also pay for monthly hosting. My goal is to break even with any income I get. I might recommend you subscribe to the blog via RSS (see top right hand side of the blog). This way all you will see are the posts. Thanks for the comment and for stopping by!
