Cruise Ship Disasters...(irony, not tragedy)


Recommended Posts

While trolling the net, I found a web site on Google that advertised itself as "The Best Site for Cruise Ship Disasters". Here is the URL:

 

http://cruise.bagbooks.nb.ca/ship-cruise/cruise-ship-disasters.html

 

It's a link site...but I thought it amusing that the "sponsored" links were Carnival and Royal Caribbean :-)

 

:eek:

But it was Silversea Cruises for me. (Maybe it's because Google knows that Silver Cloud comes and parks outside my front window a couple of time a year.)

 

Seriously, though, those ads work the same way as the ads on CC. The Google part picks up the words that are on the page and displays link ads accordingly. The funniest demonstration was when someone asked about where to get hand driers (or some such) - and then everyone who looked at that thread saw lots of link ads for companies that supplied them.
