STUFF - get some

I got lots of requests to make a Help in Romance blog post due to my recent choice to alter my signiture to a heart sign in loo of any other type of mark. But I digress.

For fun I descided to track the Hul commericals that appear in three hours. it should be noted that my Hulu account signs in with my Gmail, by which I subscribe for video updates and is also linked to my Facebook and twitter pages. it should also be notable that in an attempt to earn a little extra money, I've enabled Adsense, a Google tracking program that records site information for targeting ads to visiters to my page as well as my google enabled accounts.

I arranged the ads, not by brand or type but by product type.
hygiene products                  --- 5 (men's hair)
drink ads (alcohol)               --- 2
Insta-food type products      --- 6
pharmaceuticals                   ---  1 (preg. test)
Car ads                               ---  4
bank/credit                          ---  3
Cellphone/portable device    ---  3
PSA/non-profit org.             ---  1
misc.                                    ---  4 (3 dating websites, 1 hulu promo)

So, despite my fear, these ads don't seem targeted specifically to me. However, I did recently have a relationship status change, which was noted on facebook and a blog entry I did not share. But I think these ads are more indicative of values -or perceived values- that are being advertised to. Image. My age/sex demagraphic is seemingly represented here (male, 18-30).
...or at least i'd like to say. Without any further study or deeper analyst, i can't really make any claims with certainty. At the very least, I'd need some sort of base line or larger sample size. I'd also like to compare video ads to the Facebook side-bar ads and establish a better method of identifying ad types.

... I had some more to say though it suddenly escapes me.

P.S. I suspect this is a most uninteresting post for you readers รก la frequent, I'll endeavor to make the next twice as entertaining.
