Nerdy Searches

Ok, so is it true that MSN Live search's ad engine is seriously that good?

During a recent search for "Searching in LDAP", MSN displayed this ad as a result:

Quote:
Date Sexy Women Fast - www.removed
John Eagans book- Rated #1 by Men's Fitness Magazine- Dates Guaranteed
Is it really that good to assume that someone researching LDAP is probably more interested in finding girls? Is it trying to tell me I need to get a life?

I'm proud to say I do have a girlfriend, but this just made me laugh. Tailored to nerds advertising: Go find a woman. We can help.

Hahah.

I think sponsors are more interested in the keywords "Searching for" .. the LDAP is ignored. After all, that is the original search parameter.
