A few days ago my friends at YouData told me that they’d changed up my ad widget so it’d be smaller so I switched it out and this morning I had a message that I had a new ad so I clicked on it, expecting to see the usual tip-jar graphic but instead I saw this:
And that? That is how you know when your advertisers totally get you.
(Disclosure: YouData isn’t paying me for this plug {nor are they even aware that I’m writing it} but they are some of my very best friends and they regularly bring me beer without judging me when I’m hiding under the table at local social events. Ad networks and marketers, take note. *This* is how you do social media. By enabling agoraphobics and getting them drunk. *And* by knowing your client and their audience. But mostly that first one. But mostly the second one. They’re both pretty important.)
Comment of the day: Ok…upon first glance I didn’t even notice the picture and thought you were referring to the website link that YouData posted an ad for. And I read that website link as “free-sharts.com”. As in…free…sharts? I laughed out loud, then realized it was actually a picture of you and you weren’t talking about getting free sharts at all. ~ Courtney
Ok, that is too funny! Love it!
WooooHoooooo! That is fucking AWESOMENESS!!
Congrats lady!

Love it so much!
I don’t really know how YouData works so I tried to sign up for it one time to find out and it was all “we hate Canada and The Bloggess doesn’t want your colourful money anyway.. especially not with a ‘u’ in it.”
Love it!

Finally. Someone gets it.

That picture makes me so happy. Or maybe it’s the Xanax.
That is seriously awesome. My zombie hordes say they would ask for brains, but otherwise, they agree that it’s very you. (They’ve been reading your blog over my shoulder and are huge fans.)

This totally reminded me to sign into my Youdata and do some clicking. I always forget. Thanks!
.-= meghann´s last blog ..Some Reassurance I’m Not Totally Screwing Up =-.
No offense…but cut out of context like that, it looks like an advertisement for one of those ‘Shit Right’ yogurt things.
Which is maybe what they were shooting for. No idea.

I would love to join Youdata, but I can’t since I’m a Canadian…

.-= J.´s last blog ..don’t jump! {151/365} =-.
Oh, and I wanted to say that I would never leave adsense. They just “get” me, and their communication skills are awesome. Like, just last month, my ads just suddenly disappeared and no matter how hard I tried, I could not talk to a real person to try and figure out what the hell happened. Not only that, but they are totally reliable for paying me 1.2 cents per month.
.-= Mary @ Holy Mackerel´s last blog ..New York City!!!!! Where Slut’s Momma Touches A Man’s Chestals =-.
Wigs and Xanax. Such great combinations 🙂 waaaaaaaaaaah 🙂 love it.

Awww … when can I borrow that dress by the way?
.-= annie´s last blog ..Unavoidable =-.
and they get the red dress so they pretty much rule.
Off to go check my YouData account for ads to watch. I forget too. Thanks for the reminder. I once wrote them a “thanks for being sensitive about special needs” email and it got passed around enough that I got email replies from like 3 different people including some big honcho. ‘Twas impressed!
.-= KYouell´s last blog ..Meet a New Internet Friend =-.
YouData is the best! Advertisers with a sense of humor…and who want to pay me to go to websites.

I love that ad so much I may have to actually go give money…
Jenny…you are so fucking funny! I love the red dress…you rock the shit out of it!!!! I tell my friends often that if I were rich I would totally be an agoraphobic….it pains me so to leave my house to come to work everyday….I often go to sleep praying for the stomach bug or swine flu…any excuse to not leave the comfort of the Corner Compound….
So…..is Victor scratching his head in disbelief?
Hahahaha, this is hilarious. Keep it coming T.B.!!

I love that photo. Are you wearing a wig?? 🙂
Love it! I wish people would understand me that well! 🙂

interesting. you know i’ve been thinking about trying another ad network – what say you? they good?
.-= furiousball´s last blog ..Pictures from the Wedding =-.
I recommend. No rules on content or placement, plus your readers get paid for their time. They don’t have enough ads yet though so you don’t make a ton of money.
My God! You marvelous slut! LOVE the ad/photo.
.-= Non-Believer´s last blog ..This is why I love stupid people.. =-.
And its very true.. that shit don’t buy itself!
Loving the picture too… very happy.
.-= Holly B´s last blog ..Buzzz-Buzzz Buzzz Twack! Damn I Missed! =-.
May I join the teeming masses who LOVE that photo of you. Seriously, there’s a crazy magic there. I wouldn’t be surprised if you had been possessed by fairies in that moment. On another note: why do your wigs need xanax? Does your head make them that anxious? Or is it the uncertainty of never knowing if they will be the one chosen that day or not? Just wonderin’.
.-= Varda (the Squashed Mom)´s last blog ..From Autist to Artist =-.
Its the wigs right, they’re the super expensive part? They are probably wigs made of the hair of extinct tibetan deer.
.-= Bridget Callahan´s last blog ..Happy Memorial Day =-.
Xanax and wigs ARE expensive. You Data totally gets you.
I haven’t gotten an ad from Youdata in months. This depresses me. I need Xan- Ah HA! They’re just trying to sell Xanax. And you’re helping them. For shame, Jenny. For. Shame.
You have to laminate that and put it in your purse, to pull out when you need that little lift. Brilliant. 🙂

I thought that ad was for Free Sharts.

Oh, and? so I can tell you all over again how much I love that pic. And you. And your blog. And even Victor 😉
And I’ll totally check out YouData, just on your say-so, Jenny.
I think you should demand that that photo be used for your driver’s license. And, when you win your case, women everywhere will carry you about on their shoulders!

It’s true. Xanax and wigs *are* expensive. Which is why their wholehearted support of you is pretty damn awesome.
.-= GuiltySquid´s last blog ..My fingers turned blue, I stole my doctor’s cell phone number and I’m pretty sure WebMD is responsible for Natasha Richardson’s death. I could just be wrong on that last part. The heading was ambiguous, y’all. =-.
I want people to get me that way. I say “Um, you’d get that if you were me,” or “People just don’t get me,” way too much.
Even if it’s an ad network. I’m ecumenical that way.
awww, you’re so pretty and smiley. also, do you *sell* xanax? cuz….

Yep, I read “free-sharts” also. Are sharts contagious?
.-= dawn´s last blog ..My kind of church =-.
Geesh, I want friends like yours. None of my friends, or family for that matter, enable or get me. I have to go out in the world and go to an office every day, and go on field trips with my son to tidepools, and go grocery shopping without a bottle of wine to get me through. Tell me what you did right.
.-= Michelle Zive´s last blog ..Family Va-ca =-.
LOL comment of the day. Free Sharts (are sharts the same over there as here in Australia??). Loving u in red by the way.
.-= Annieb25´s last blog ..Periods, Tampons & Feminine Hygiene =-.
it’s pretty cool when you know that someone gets you … and it’s especially righteous when they bring you free beer!

It’s just old fashioned customer service with like 21st century technocrap. Fantastical!
.-= Jenn´s last blog ..Rememberance =-.
Yeah, that’s pretty good all right, but if they REALLY “got you” they would know that Xanax IS in fact pretty damn cheap. I have no idea about wigs, so they have me there.
.-= Snarkier Than You´s last blog ..You Inspired This One: Twitarded Goes Brazilian! [NSFW if you’re reading it aloud but otherwise you’ll be OK.] =-.

.-= A Vapid Blonde´s last blog ..Crocs Are Mean and Really Should Not Be Considered Shoes =-.
It’s not for free sharts? I’m not paying for sharts, that’s for damn sure.
Now that’s a motto I can get behind! With that kind of straight shootin’ I think you should run for Congress.

I LOVE IT
.-= lorrie´s last blog ..School’s Out!! =-.
I love the YouData concept. I’m sad that they don’t think Canadians are real people, though. I mean, our dollar is almost worth as much as yours now!
I think. I don’t actually follow that stuff too closely.
.-= Keely´s last blog ..The one (and only) where I try to sell you things. THINGS THAT MIGHT KEEP YOU HEALTHY. You’re welcome. =-.
you know what else is awesome about social media – your love for YouData and your comment of the day got my YouData spot WAY awesome exposure. And a new marketing campaign idea: ARTS not SHARTS!
Thinking about stale sharts. Thanks.
Heading over to check YouData right now and will share whatever I earn with you. Because YouData paying that much attention is a company I want to support!
I totally thought it was an add for Free Sharts also, until I read the comment of the day. And I found it especially exciting because I just did a Facebook status about sharts. Indeed.
