I've been googled

Why do I see google ads on the top page of the forum?

Trial to see if it is worth the distraction in an effort to defray costs of running the site!

I didn't even notice until you mentioned it. (Guess that's your answer.)

It's unobtrusive. Helps you with the cost and we keep going.

However, it would be nice if they were thailand related sites.

Yes, that's one of the problems (thailand related sites). They do try to get related info and it can be tweaked a bit I think, but if you look at TV you'll see basically the same thing.

Cruzing, addsense goes thru the posts and put's in what it considers to be the most relevant adds for the topic, so instead of posting " I am interested in a teak wood house" post "I am interested in a thai teakwood house" that way google will look for the key words, ie Thai Teak House. Although that will probably bring up Jim Thomsons house as the main add.

I just clicked on one of the links at the top of the screen as I thought, Oh wow, good now I can get this info here in thailand easy. Not so. German site, other one was U.S. the other one Aussie.

Actually I hardly ever use google. I know lots do, but it doesn't seem to have what I'm looking for. I know, I know, supposed to be better than Yahoo, but................

Oh well, it helps pay the bills, eh Dozer! That's what we need.

Google is the best normal search engine there is, you can use it doing word searches or you can use java script on it, here's a nice example to find music directories that you can download from, if you cut and paste this into your browser, then press enter you will get a new window open up, type the name of the group or singer you are looking for and then it will use google to look for open directories with that music on, obviously a lot will be ftp and you can just download from them the songs you want, but there are ebooks out there with differant java script for differant searches.
