Comment contest winner and horrible google ads

First of all, we have a winner of the comment contest! I made a list of everyone who commented between the 10th and the 17th, and then used the random.org random number generator to pick a number. Caramama, please send me an email to claim your gift certificate! It's been a real pleasure seeing this site slowly develop into a community, so I hope you'll stick around and keep offering support even without the incentive of a contest.

Second, I heard that some of you are seeing google ads for free formula on this site. I never see those myself - all I see are breastfeeding supplies, industrial manufacturing pumps, and some creepy ad about not training children like dogs. I don't have any way to choose what ads google gives me, and I have the ads because I'd like to move this site to its own server and I can't pay for that out of pocket right now. Please email me if you see formula ads, and what page you saw them on. I'm going to try and figure out if certain key words are triggering them so I can avoid the ads.

  1. I see formula ads on exactly two posts -- "Christina: Sometimes you can't," and "Not All Babies Are the Same - Christy Gunter." I'm going to guess that the key word is actually "formula." Christina talks about how she had to use it, and Christy about how she managed to do without it, but both mention formula more than once.

    Check out 1&1 Internet for server hosting -- if you do the actual coding and such yourself, the prices are very reasonable. I don't have an affiliate link set up, so I don't get anything out of recommending them, but I'm a happy customer.

    And I'm really enjoying the site! Keep up the good work.

  2. P.S. rates for them doing the actual work might be reasonable too, I have no idea, since we do our own.

  3. Okay, from now one I am going to spell it frmula in the posts. That should keep the ads away but still be understandable. It's not any kind of judgement on moms who supplement. It's just an ad work-around.
