www-australia.info - what kind of domain name is that?
I found this ad for an amazing site when doing a google search:
| Sponsored Links | |||
| Photos Of Australia Find out everything you need to about this amazing destination! www-australia.info |
|||
Someone has just paid money so that I’d click on that link, and see that site. Look at the photos along the bottom. First, there’s a left-hand-drive vehicle, then a naff sunshade and beachchairs at sunset, followed by a grey road with a yellow centreline driving through a conifer forrest, and finally some people skiing past a maple or something. Search the entire continent, you’re not going to find any of that stuff.
I don’t know if it’s covered in ads, perhaps it is (my ad blocking works really well, and there’s no way in hell I’m going to some dodgy site with IE).
Somebody: Please explain what the hell is going on here? I’d especially love an economist to explain what the heck that site is about - rational decision making my shiny metal butt.
Update: This is a Made For Adsense site. Still doesn’t make sense, but whatever. They too shall pass.

That one had me laughing. Under a picture of an umbrella and chairs by the beach, they had an ad for Alice Springs. And under a picture of a couple skiing, they ran an add for Ayers Rock.

Australia is a huge country, covering 5 different time zones. 5? Since when?
