Stephen Baker from the new Blogspotting blog has an example of why some blogs are probably not suitable for using contextual ads on them. He refers to a religious blog that he saw an ad for ’sexy black singles’. Not that there is anything wrong with sexy black singles being advertised on a religious blog…. But perhaps not the most relevant of ads.
My name is Darren Rowse and I’m a full time Blogger making a living from this new and dynamic medium from blogs like Digital Photography School and TwiTip - Twitter Tips.
Back in 2002 I stumbled upon an article about ‘Blogging’. I didn’t know it at the time but that moment changed my life. Since then I've become a full time blogger and have blogged on over 20 blogs and co-founded the b5media blog network.

There is another examplo: in the spanish Benedict XVI Blog (http://www.benedictoxvi.net) it shows this ad:
Sex priest, secret code - The Catholic Church’s 2000 Year Paper Trail of Sexual Abuse.
