Ads

Kind of neat...the ad at the very bottom of our blog utilizes geo-targeting. I think google sniffs our IP, determines that we're in Chicago, passes the info along to grubhub (great site, btw) so the landing page is dynamic based on location.

Now THAT is fantastic online advertising. We're up to about $4 :)

Stupid me...I bet grubhub is sniffing, not google adsense.

Yes - its odd. Is it picking up on Marche and pictures of food?

Google actually picks up which core Internet routers your browser is coming from. We just purchased an ad package from Google that would only target Chicago users. I was very glad to have this option because Chicago is the only geographical site we have and advertising across the Internet would be silly. Glad you like our site.
