As an aside, what the heck is a “sexy local singles” ad doing on the right of a Google News search for “Yahoo.” Another question I have is why was this announced on the Inside AdSense blog vs. the Google News Blog?
The generally useful site reminds me of another curious site Google put together, Google Internet Stats.
