I started using Google ads back in Mach of this year, as you can see from the “UPDATE” that follows the language you cite. I think I’ll add a bit more text just so it’s a little more clear. Thanks.

did you just start taking advertising? http://skitch.com/nicholasr/nnrh2/advertising-r... I love the site and I imagine that it is tricky to be a website that tracks errors in print to make sure to not have any errors. But, directly underneath two ads from google ads, you say, “This site doesn’t accept advertising.”

I wouldn't have noticed if they weren't so close together and I don't mind. I offer this criticism solely in the spirit of collegial perfectionism.

[...] The entire list is worth a read, but this one caught my eye, pointing out the dangers of too much automation in web publishing: The American Family Association’s OneNewsNow site has a standard practice of using the word “homosexual” instead of “gay.” They even set up a filter to automatically make the change. This didn’t serve ONN well when a sprinter named Tyson Gay made news at the U.S. Olympic track and field trials. He suddenly became Tyson Homosexual when the site’s filter got a hold of an AP story: [...]
