Michael,
How do you get paid for the ads that show-up? For the
ad being displayed? A click? A purchase?
If you get paid or paid more for clicks then I think maybe we should all
start clicking on the MS ads on your sites.

Subject: Microsoft targetting CF
While skimming through the lists I noticed an ad. Now this is not news
to anyone as there are ads on all of the pages in a nice, not so
forceful manner. What was interesting about this ad was the text. The
title was simply "Coldfusion". The text for the ad:
"Order Visual Studio 2005 Kit. Simplify software development."
And who was the ad by? www.microsoft.com
Now you have to understand how adsense works (beyond reading the
articles we have on it in Fusion Authority). When there is a really high
paying ad, it will 'force' out the lower paying ones. This means that if
there are 2 high paying ads, then only those 2 will be shown. When there
is only one ad, then that ad is either very high paying or there just
isn't any other ads for the page (never a problem on House of Fusion).
So when Microsoft has the only ad on a page and the page content is
purely ColdFusion, you know they want us.
Now I wonder if Visual Studio 2005 has ColdFusion editing capabilities
or are they just using the trademarked word ColdFusion to target us?
Weren't there just some lawsuits won about using search terms that have
nothing to do with the actual ad and where the display term was a
trademark? Looks like more fun to come. :)
