Jazzmoose Posted March 12, 2012 Report Posted March 12, 2012 I was just offered Giants season tickets which offended me greatly. Quote
JSngry Posted March 12, 2012 Author Report Posted March 12, 2012 You were offered tickets by one of the Snets? Which one?/'/ Quote
Big Wheel Posted March 12, 2012 Report Posted March 12, 2012 (edited) Also, my work laptop constantly gets the same images, and I don't do anything on that one except work and pop in here. I am not up on the ins and outs of the ad targeting system, but I think these days being logged into the same Google account may serve the same function as cookies. So if you use Gmail or Google calendar or Google Apps/Docs on your work machine and ever log in with the same Google account on your home machine, that could do it. Seriously, try clearing the cookies and logging out of all Google accounts and see if you still get them. Alternatively, maybe the dating ads really are frequently showing to most US board members and I'm the exception because Google's algorithm has figured out that they make more money off serving me other ads that I've already clicked.

JSngry Posted March 12, 2012 Author Report Posted March 12, 2012 (edited) I don't have any google accounts, and I haven't been clicking on any of the google ads. I don' t click on ads, period. I've cleared all the cookies, several time, actually, and the Snets just keep on coming, making themselves right to home. Edited March 12, 2012 by JSngry Quote
Big Wheel Posted March 12, 2012 Report Posted March 12, 2012 I just got my first one of these ads on this thread, so my best last guess is that these are being keyword-targeted. Which means we actually can influence what appears with what we talk about on the board. Are you seeing these more in some threads than others? Because if my hunch is right, they're probably all over the "Sexiest Album Covers" thread (which I rarely look at). With little other text in the thread to go on, the ad system sees "sexiest album" and figures everyone in it is horny and looking for sexy singles. Quote
JSngry Posted March 12, 2012 Author Report Posted March 12, 2012 I see them mostly on the main board index, but they'll turn up anywhere. It's kind of weird when you're in the office, scrolling down reading a thread, and then this is down at the bottom of the page. That's precisely why I don't look at the sexy album covers thread at work, I know what to expect there, and it might not be the best of things to show up on a 17" monitor that anybody can see walking by. But these google ads, there's no predicting where they'll be, and the photos do stand out, small as they are. So hey: Quote
RDK Posted March 12, 2012 Report Posted March 12, 2012 So many women! Are you bragging or complaining, Jim? Quote
JSngry Posted March 12, 2012 Author Report Posted March 12, 2012 (edited) As if by divine intervention...now showing on this very page: Interestingly enough, that photo, when enlarged, seem to show that "minister" as having knobby horns and a bit of a stubble...

JSngry Posted March 12, 2012 Author Report Posted March 12, 2012 I don't see them in Australia Does this help? Quote
Dan Gould Posted March 13, 2012 Report Posted March 13, 2012 Am I the only one getting the link for Lesbian Singles? (sorry Jim but these don't seem to have pictures, and I'm not about to click) Quote
JSngry Posted March 13, 2012 Author Report Posted March 13, 2012 Am I the only one getting the link for Lesbian Singles? Apparently so! Quote
JSngry Posted March 17, 2012 Author Report Posted March 17, 2012 (edited) UH-oh...looks like the Snets are getting International Competition! Edited March 17, 2012 by JSngry Quote
Dave James Posted March 17, 2012 Report Posted March 17, 2012 Am I the only one getting the link for Lesbian Singles? (sorry Jim but these don't seem to have pictures, and I'm not about to click) Please forward link. I'm part of a task force charged with eliminating this sort of thing from the internet. I am authorized to view this material. Thanks. Quote
Dan Gould Posted March 17, 2012 Report Posted March 17, 2012 Apparently one innocent "adult" search will get you in their cross-hairs too. Go ahead and try it. Quote
JSngry Posted March 22, 2012 Author Report Posted March 22, 2012 They come from everywhere, just because they know we dig jazz. Quote
Tom Storer Posted March 23, 2012 Report Posted March 23, 2012 So if I understand correctly, some of you see ads when you log into the Organissimo forums? I don't. Quote
JSngry Posted March 23, 2012 Author Report Posted March 23, 2012 This must be a Rogue Snet - she's contacting me directly&* is in the area. Stephanie, you look a little wasted, and I'm a very happily married man. Go troll on somebody else's screen, please. Quote
Dave James Posted March 23, 2012 Report Posted March 23, 2012 This must be a Rogue Snet - she's contacting me directly&* is in the area. Stephanie, you look a little wasted, and I'm a very happily married man. Go troll on somebody else's screen, please. Jim, take a seat. I'm not quite sure how to break this to you, but I live in Hillsboro, Oregon and I got the same picture. If it makes you feel any better, she's 3.1 miles away from me so should you decide to take the plunge, you'll be able to get to her faster. Quote
JSngry Posted March 23, 2012 Author Report Posted March 23, 2012 Looks like the exercise from the extra mile would be good for her constitution. I'll send her over! Quote
sidewinder Posted March 23, 2012 Report Posted March 23, 2012 (edited) I don't see them in Australia Same here. They obviously don't 'do' Europe either Edited March 23, 2012 by sidewinder Quote
papsrus Posted March 31, 2012 Report Posted March 31, 2012 I get "How to avoid running out of money in retirement" ads (except in this thread). I'm going to guess that one of the first suggestions in "How to avoid running out of money in retirement" is: stay away from the girls of singles.net at all costs. ... course, how bad could running out of money in retirement be, really? There's always the library. Quote
