Four Things Adsense Thinks I Am Blogging About


So, I was curious what Google Adwords might say about my blog and what it thinks my keywords are.  It always intrigues me what a computer things of your website. It also interests me what kinds of ads are showing up on my page.   ***Disclaimer here***  I have put Adsense on my blog, yes I have.   I am not going to do anything to jeopardize my account with them (as if I was earning more than air from them at this point)  I did however plug this blog into the free Adwords Keyword tool, just to see if anything fun came out.

Anyway, according to the Adwords tool, it looks like I have been focusing my blog on the following:

  • German Online Courses -   I really don't know much about German on-line courses, but the more I study German (and fix my German)  I think that I will be visiting some of these on-line courses.  When I visit these websites, I will definitely report back about them. 
  • Online Spanish Courses -   I am not sure how Google came up with this.  I mentioned Spanish being the language that everyone else took when I was in high school.   I know for sure that I won't be focusing any of my energy on learning Spanish or Spanish courses, online, or otherwise.
  • Sports Blog - Here, I did mention Sports in my blog the other day.  I am a big sports fan.   I am not a sports writer.  (though that would be a fun job)  I do plan on bring up sports from time to time in the blog.   Yesterday, for instance, I looked up the professional basketball league in Germany.   It seems like I will be able to follow the NBA (which I am not a huge fan of) in Germany, especially the Dallas Mavericks, since their big star, Dirk Nowitzki, is German.
  • How to Blog -  I wasn't planning on writing about how to blog, but you know...it is something that I could do.  I am not great at blogging, myself, but I bet I could help others learn how to blog, or at least how to start a blog.
Basically....it seems that I have been focusing my energies at the beginning of this blog on foreign languages, and foreign language lessons.   It even recommends that I talk about Chinese and Spanish too.  Perhaps I am talking too much about my learning of Germany online, and not enough about Music.  Music and Opera were nowhere to be found on my keyword search.

What do you all think I should write about?  (Can you tell I have a little bit of writer's block today?)  It doesn't seem as if too many people were interested in the German word for Hippo or Couch potato.  What are you interested in?

  2. Just glanced at the Adsense widget after reading your post to find an ad with the headline "Don't Sign up for Adwords". Oh the irony!
