Google’s Adsense system is one of the thousands of artificial intelligence engines out there everyday that we often overlook.  Thousands of engineers have worked for years to tweek the system and optimize it for pairing the right advertisement next to the appropriate online content.  Improving this artificial intelligence by even a tiny fraction can mean millions of extra advertisement clicks and subsequently millions of extra dollars in Google’s coffers.

Today on the Hub I noticed about as perfect an advertising match from Adsense as I could imagine and I just had to post it here to our readers.  See the image below (click to expand to full size) where adsense is targetting a Nextengine advertisement right next to our story on – you guessed it – Nextengine.  Of course pairing an advertisement for a product next to a story about that product is not one of the harder pairings for Google’s Adsense to make, but still its pretty awesome to see:

    I got the Gaberial Method weight loss system, perhaps it needs a few more tweaks.

    What’s really funny is when you see an ad for a product on a web-page trash talking that product. :D
