This is funny on so many levels.
A Google Adsense rep calls me today to pitch some form of customized Adsense for Wists. He then sends me an email saying:
“Here’s an example of how Flickr.com is using AdSense: http://www.flickr.com/photos/tags/manhattan/ (you may need to hit refresh to see the ads load)”
1. Flickr was bought buy Yahoo and now has Yahoo ads.
2. Who in their right mind refreshes a page just so they can see ads.
3. Why pitch something with an example where it is broken.
Caveat: I hope this doesn’t get anyone in trouble – its obviously a harmless error.
[update: seems like they are in the middle of the switch, so depending on the number of times you refresh the page (not exactly normal behavior), you get either: no ads, Google ads or Yahoo ads. No less stupid, however]
