Well to Mrs. Mayes I say, “GT-R Done”. Why care about the city that you live and work in, when you can save a few grand that could have gone to the schools, public safety, and roads. Not to mention your salary. Heck if the city goes bankrupt you can just fall back on Amaysed LLC or get a job in Montana. Besides, you must know plenty of people there if that’s where you registered your car and own a business. In fact why don’t you just get out of our town and stop using our services that you don’t pay for.

Those of you who know me personally may know that recently my father, Joseph M. Connell passed away, so I decided to put some of my thoughts into a website where myself and others can post feelings and stories about my dad and serve as an ongoing memorial to him. So please head on over to WeMissJoe.com to post a few words about Joe Connell, my dad. I will be adding more pictures and other info as time goes on so please help to build this site and come back often. Click here to go to WeMissJoe.com

And Dad: I’m going to miss you so much but everything you taught me will live on in everything I do. I Love You.

And for my favorite song ever by the King of Pop, “Happy Birthday Lisa”:

I think that Leo has a very good point here. When less people are reading newspapers and watching TV, it makes more sense to advertise in places where you know that the audience is part of a certain demographic and interested in certain products. And with the dynamic nature of the internet, this could translate into more targeted ads. For instance, if you go to download an episode of a Leo Laporte podcast episode, an ad for a current sale at a local technology store could be inserted into predetermined spots in the podcast. This ad could be updated every time someone downloads it so it is always current and always targeted. I think that there are all kinds of reasons that companies are turning to the internet for ad spending, and I feel that the increasing amount of money they spend online is justified. This line of thinking leads me to believe that ad spending on the internet is going beyond the simple banner ad that every web surfer has learned to ignore, to become something that the user is actually interested in. I monotize all of my sites by providing targeted advertisements that I choose because of the known demographic and their interests. For instance, on a site that is related to iPhones, I put ads for iPhone accessories and other tech products, while on a site that is related to the hit TV show Family Guy, I link to merchandise for that show and other products that I think those fans would like. Contrast this method with displaying general interest ads on all of these sites. Instead of ads targeted for the demographic, I could display debt consolidation and gambling ads on all sites. Of course there will be people who have unpaid bills and need to lose weight and click through to and buy something from the ads, but far less than they would if they were shown targeted ads. Even though it would be much easier to use the same ads on all sites, it is worth it for me to tailor the monitization models to each site. This is because I try to do what works best, which in the end helps the advertiser as well, which in turn causes them to budget more money for this type of nontraditional internet advertising. Hopefully Leo and I are right and this helps the internet grow with quality content.
