Some eagle-eyed readers of Trainjotting have noticed the new ads adorning the top of our pages. Indeed, Trainjotting has partnered with with Google to feature ads that aim to have something to do with the content on the page, which results in the reader clicking on them to buy stuff, and Google’s stock climbing north of $600 a share.

Trainjotting gets paid for each “AdSense” click. Some clicks are literally worth pennies, and some are actually worth a decent chunk of change–which means we mayl be able to buy a Starbucks card (or Espresso 77 t-shirt) for Straphanger Joe, maybe a pint of Pale Ale for G. Francis, perhaps a miniature 7 train whose wheels don’t stick for Little G.

If the program takes off, Little G may even have options other than Westchester Community College when he’s 18.

Hopefully us whoring ourselves out to Google won’t detract from your Trainjotting experience. And let’s face it–we’ll all be partnering with Google in some way or other somewhere down the road.
