While car enthusiasts and automobile sites may be happy to display a highly-relevant ad featuring the Ford Explorer, many online sites> not directly publishing auto-related content are up-in-arms that Ford was allowed to purchase a large chunk of advertising on blogs this week.

Aaron from SEObook.com writes about the advertisements:

By Google delivering those damn Explorer ads that are so far off target they are teaching site visitors to ignore the ads, and may be costing themselves and publishers a lot more than they realize. If people learn to ignore textual ads then funding good content production is much harder. If people can’t afford to make good content then Google is going to be full of garbage.

Meanwhile, the Google Adsense blog has published an “refresher” about Site Targeting:

Some of you have asked, “How is an ad for an off-road vehicle targeted to my pages about hiking?” Excellent question! Contextual targeting, or targeting the text on your site (the primary targeting mechanism of AdSense), is only one form of targeting. With the launch of the site targeting program, advertisers can select sites that are relevant to their prospective visitors, thereby targeting an audience, not just content. So although the ad campaign may not be targeted directly to your site’s content, it will be relevant to the specific or general interests of your readers. AdSense has always been, and will always remain, a targeted advertising system — we’re just implementing new targeting approaches to help you monetize.

It’s almost bizarre but VooDooBlogger helps you auto-creating blogs to generate traffic to your Adsense advertisements.

NOT ONLY CAN YOU MASS CREATE UNIQUE BLOG ACCOUNTS THAT LAST, BUT YOU ARE ALSO ABLE TO GO BACK AT ANY TIME AND MASS POST TO ALL BLOGS YOU HAVE CREATED, OR EVEN MASS POST TO SMALLER BLOG CLUSTERS THAT YOU HAVE CREATED!

This kind of software is being used by people wo want be a fast millionaire by copying content from other sites/blogs and post it to their blogs. With manu blogs containing (parts) of the same content, chances increase that one or more of them will display in the search results of search engines. Most of the traffic that was supposed to go to the authors’ site will visit one of the VooDooBlogger created blogs and a percentage of them will click on the Adsense link.

End result, you have a brand new domain, and it has within seconds, more high quality backlinks than an easy 98% of your competitors! *You’ll dominate MSN within a day or two, you’ll take over Yahoo within a week or two, and you’ll rule Google when they do their next dance…. It just doesn’t get any better than that!
