I Apologize for this

I just got home from the monthly lodge meeting and a brother approached me about my blog saying it was a good read but he was concerned. He stated "Why do you have a link to Masonic Secrets Revealed?" I was numb to the fact knowing that my site did not have such a link.
Then it dawned on me!! I used a Google Adsense Widget that was a part of my Google Blogger account. Wanting to monetize a little and make a few pennies on pay per click advertising. I remembered Google uses adsense to target content and keywords.

For example: If your site was about apples and you had a bunch of stuff about apples and you used adsense it would display content oriented stuff like apple pie or secrets to growing apples placement advertising. So if some knuckle head was selling a book revealing masonic secrets then it would display on a Masonic oriented site.

I have removed my adsense widget and want to apologize to every brother. Sometimes you can become numb to advertisements to not really pay attention to what they actually are saying. To all the readers I am sorry.

Thanks to the brother who made me aware of it!!

Masonic Linkedin Plug yourself

Remember when the old days when a handshake would seal the deal?

Well now days it is hard to know whether or not someone is square and on the level or not. I have met so many Freemasons through a site called Linkedin to the point that I have put it on my website and decided that anyone in business should try it out.
It is free and you can join a ton of masonic groups and meet brothers from all over the world. I think now days people need security and trust and network in the business world during uncertain times in the economy.

I know some masons who don't really like to mix business with Masonry but to me if I see a mason or it listed on a resume I know he at least represents hardwork and dedication. Do you like to display your square and compass at work or do you like to be a little more secretive about it. I guess this goes back to my previous blog post about wearing the ring. What are your true thoughts on Masonry and business ediquette?
