Check out this ad. Is that hex codes?

I guess when you’re putting out 10 billion ads some are going to screw up.

While we’re (sort of) on the topic, is anyone using the following advertising systems and can share their experiences?

* Yahoo Publisher
* Open Ads
* Open X
* AdMob

And is online community management the next SEO sub-industry?

Hmmmm…….

OK, You can tell that I’m busy and combining a few tweets into a blog post, but hey…..

    That’s a feature, not a bug. :-). Firefox 3 does this now when the text you’re viewing was written in a language that your computer isn’t setup to display. In this case the ad is pointing to a web site that’s all in some other language (Thai maybe?). It shows you the hex numbers to help you figure out what was supposed to be displayed there.
