How can you guys put up with all the adds?

ocrey · 08-01-2015, 07:27 PM

I joined this morning looking for some help with my flurishing banana tree. The more I explore the site, the more I notice how prolific the adds are. There everywhere including sex adds

It's a bit unuasual to have so many adds. I'm not a difficult poster but it's distracting and may move on if there is another banana forum.

What's the best banana site?

I understand making money but,,,,, ,,,,, ,.

Going Bananas · 08-01-2015, 07:40 PM

What SEX ads?
Darnit!
I didnt get any of those.

I usually just scroll down but the most anoying
is when it blocks the whole screen and you have to
wait for the commercial to download.

That's annoying!

OCrey
BTW. Welcome to the fray!
Is that Orange County Rey 714ac?
I just noticed your new member greeting.
You get used to the ads.
I joined in as well 2months ago.
But seriously...Sex Ads?
I didnt get those yet.

Dangermouse01 · 08-01-2015, 08:11 PM

Use Adblock Plus.
I don't see any adds.

Kat2 · 08-01-2015, 08:19 PM

I don't use any blockers but the ads I see are not X rated, don't open videos and are limited to the area above the Chatroom stats. I use Firefox.

JP · 08-01-2015, 09:02 PM

This is the best site!!! And it's free so don't mind the ads. I don't. I wouldn't change anything about this site. You know, there is some costs related to operating this site and the advertisers pay for those so it's free for us.

JP · 08-01-2015, 09:04 PM

Oh, I forgot. I don't get that many ads and they are not sex related. You should maybe check your pc for viruses or get a better antivirus.

merce3 · 08-01-2015, 09:30 PM

i second adblock... it's a must have.

ocrey · 08-02-2015, 10:51 AM

Sorry, I guess it wasn't sex adds but 'meet Asian singles adds'. Nothing X rated.

I only post on a couple of forums, none have adds. I guess I'll get used to them and get 'adblock'.

Thanks for the responses.

kjpalm · 08-02-2015, 12:18 PM

Welcome to 2015! Ads are generally tailored to previous things you've looked up. If you're looking at ahem adult material ahem, you will have ads that will entice you to their site. So... Based on your browser history.... Someone in your house has been looking at some materials related to a different type of banana haha

How To Keep Ad Companies From Tracking Your Web History - Business Insider

ocrey · 08-02-2015, 02:02 PM

I do a lot of research on the net and Google most of the time. Doing that means I go to irrelivent sites at times ending up with cookies that I clear out every once in a while.

I think the singles adds were left over cookies from a site I must have visited from Googling. Either that or I'm a sex addict and don't know it. Last week I had all kinds of adds for Jeep Rubicons. The adds in question were all Google adds.

I cleared cookies and they're gone.

Thanks.

kjpalm · 08-02-2015, 02:09 PM

Yeah, Google ads do track. Not trying to accuse, just saying it happens unfortunately. I keep getting ads for pot because I keep looking at the container grown section and often search for pots. The ads think I'm a user... Which is no where near the truth ha-ha. Just the key word pot is triggering it.

Now you know! Lol!

ocrey · 08-03-2015, 09:55 AM

It doesn't offend me but makes me feel uncomfortable. I thought they had gone away but 'nada'. Asian singles adds between the responses.

I'm on an Ipad with the latest operating system using Safari. Cleared the cookies and history and they're still all over. That's after blocking.

As I understand, the Asian single adds or 'Tasha wants to talk to you' adds are not standard for this forum. Interesting, they're not on any other site I visit.

Nicolas Naranja · 08-03-2015, 10:16 AM

I get the Asian adds too, I figured it had something to do with all of the Asian bananas we discuss on the forum. There used to be an add telling me not to eat bananas. The one I have now is telling me about getting an MBA in Israel.

Worm_Farmer · 08-03-2015, 03:36 PM

The adds are based on your previous web history and google searches. Thanks for letting us know what you do in your spare time.

Everyone, point and Laugh!

JP · 08-03-2015, 04:37 PM

I get ads about buying seeds to help th bees in Canada. I guess I'm great! What a good guy I am! Lol!

ocrey · 08-04-2015, 09:47 AM

Damn, even when typing this response it has an add for Asian singles above the response box. I'm starting to get used to it.

Regarding the cost of running the forum. This forum uses V-Bulletin which is free open source software. There's not much cost involved. It also has the ability to put the adds on the side instead of the middle between responses.

Hey webmaster, why not put the adds on the side instead of the middle?

Here I am a newcomer rocking the boat and complaining. Sorry to all. You guys are great!

JP · 08-04-2015, 09:56 AM

I get ads for cell phones now... How do I get those asian singles? Lol!
As nothing is perfect, appreciate it as it is. You get a ton of useful information here.
Don't rock the boat too hard, just go with the flow...

To an extent...I haven't been looking for Asian women to marry, I certainly haven't been looking at Chevrolet vehicles to buy. I have visited a few university web pages during my search which might explain the ads for MBAs.

I have really been perplexed at the Asian singles ads. What's the keyword that trips that add.

Kat2 · 08-04-2015, 11:26 AM

I'm getting Latina women ads. I suspect my post about my new "Peruvian" and "Panamanian" pups did that. I guess the ads don't know I'm a girl...
