Spam, Salman Khan, Potty Training & Mother Teresa

Was clearling my spam folder and came across spam from ‘Salman Khan’…i had to hand it to the spammer…he had earned an ‘open’ for sheer creativity…while the mail was loading i was curious about the kind of contextual ads that might get thrown up, and if any would correspond to the brands he endorses…
When the page loaded i laughed so hard, it took me a minute to get my breath back… goes to show that contextual targeting is still a WIP…

PS - No offence to Mother Teresa, i’m still wondering what word the SEM targeted his ad on…Salman Khan? Pheronomes?

Alexa has added more meat to their traffic rankings page, after about three odd years.  I must add that they updated the graphs about a month back, offering more options with data smoothing and time period…
What’s nice are the geo-specific ranks and geo-composition of Alexa toolbar users for any site.  The top sites accessed from india can be found here
