Notre Dame enrollment ads?

Submitted by StephenRKass on
Just noticed the "enroll in Notre Dame Management" advertisement at the top of the screen. This seems really . . . odd, especially here at mgoblog, an all things University of Michigan blog. What's next? Transfer to OSU ads? Save money and come to MSU ads? NSFW ads? Does mgoblog have any control over this? Do we really need to pony up and pay Brian so we can get rid of this kind of obscenity? It's just . . . strange. I feel down enough after the football season, and with the basketball team looking shaky, and the hockey team weak, seeing an ND ad was a bit too much. Maybe I'm just an old crab, but I hope not to see this again.

I just posted on this in the Site Issues thread, but I'm perfectly content with Notre Dame wasting its money on Mgoblog. If I had to guess, Brian is using a third party advertiser that scans content. With all of the recent talk about ND's coaching search, the computers determined that this was at least partially a Notre Dame oriented site.

but I think the site uses earnreal.com and AdSense and as online ad agencies I'm sure they're finding keywords in board posts and manipulating the ads to match the site content. So yeah, if we don't want to see ads for Notre Dame Business School we shouldn't discuss Notre Dame so much.
