In a former life, car ads were all about the boot space, how many kids you could cram in, how many miles to the gallon, how much the tax would be, the safety standards… If there’s one way of making your car advert stick out, it’s got to be including a performance like the above…

A Devious Radio Advertisement
As some of you may know I’m directing (and appearing in) Cannibal! The Musical next week in Kilkenny. Given that we’re going all out on the promotion front (there should be severed bloody hands clutching press releases on various desks at Hot Press, The Irish Times, national and regional radio stations and more) with our…
Microsoft Wrap Up 6 Billion Dollar Present To Themselves
Earlier this year when Google were snapping up FeedBurner, Microsoft were laying the foundations to buy up aQuantive. Yesterday they did just that, closing the deal that see’s the software giant splash a grand total of US$6bn (six billion dollars folks).

AdSense Taking The Piss?
Had to laugh when I saw this one this morning, it comes from another blog I’m running. Guess they’re picking up on my name in there but the ad is well out of place. If you’re interested, this is the blog its from. Not every tech fan’s cup of tea. Its something thats getting back…
Anything Google Can Do…

Starting to look his age but this is possibly one of the best ads I’ve seen in a while.

Is there anyone in the Irish blogosphere who is making a healthy revenue from AdSense? And by healthy revenue I mean at least three figures a month. I know of one such individual who happened to mention his Adsense revenue at the last Bar Camp in Waterford but beyond that, is anyone else happy with…
Hello! Its The iPhone Oscar Ad
Had been hoping this one would turn up online… then it did. (edit: Pat’s also got it – the ad that is!) Word at the weekend was once the iPhone hits the US it will likely be in the $300-$400 contract price bracket. I know that US contracts work a little different, many starting out…
Preferred Online Advertiser
Just out of interest, if you serve ads on your blog, who or what is your preferred means of advertising excluding Google’s Adsense…? Personally, I prefer AdSense out of the lot, always seems to produce the better, more targeted ads. If I was to go beyond that I’d say Amazon. But thats just me…
Christmas Ads On Valentines?
Still a few hours left in Valentines day and I’ve just noticed the KilkennyMusic.com blog is showing Christmas ads through Adsense. I reviewed the entire content of the single page post and nowhere in the post, links off the menus, feeds or comments does it mention the word Christmas! The word ‘holidays’ appears just once,…
