Word of Caution

Google Ads are still active on these pages. So if somebody is on your page that sells frisbess and is having a tough time finding the frisbee they want, searches and finds a google ad for somebody else, they might leave. I'm pretty sure there is a way to fix this. Let us know if you know it.
