What's up with these ads? They are nice. Very nice. But it may limit my opening of DBR to home only (maybe not a bad thing).

Pics or it didn't happen. I'm not seeing anything provocative.

I noticed that they appeared more during our discussion of first celebrity crushes. Especially the one on the right with the yellow bikini.

Hmm, perhaps in response to Ymo's mention of Elle.

This must be what Google's algorithm says will get some click throughs...

Bingo. You can thank dkbaseball's use of 'bikini.' Hey, now I bet we'll have them here!
Hmm, maybe I can confuse it: purple monkey dishwasher.

We should be able to reverse engineer their algorithm in no time...why can't Yahoo! and MSFT seem to get it right?

It's not the algorithm -- it's the volume. The barrier to entry is a higher population of visitors leading to higher fees to advertisers leading to higher payback to hosting sites leading to more hosting sites leading to a higher population of visitors.

I think all Lindsey will get us are drug rehab ads?

All I was getting was ads about buying Duke University on Ebay (sure, great algorithm there!) Then I go to respond and the yellow bikini is back there. In reality, I just assume that most of the ads are of attractive women wearing little clothing and that's why we get a preponderance of them.

Given that the quality of the boards has declined as the amount of advertising has increased, I don't feel the slightest bit bad about using adblock.

Yeah, but you're an infamous board hacker.

I actually saw that ad on the main board. As for blocking ads, I don't ad-block, but I have flash off by default, so I only see text-based ads.

The new adds are great - that is until you change boards and your excitement from viewing hot babes in bikinis falls instantaneously to the morally unacceptable vision of Hillary's face in full, up-close vileness.

My God. Look at that girl on the far right of my screen. Looks like she's in deep thought. She's thinking, "EarlJam. EarlJam. If only I had EarlJam!"
I gotta run but I'll be back in 10 - 15 minutes.

Ok...Ok...Guilt trip given and accepted. As much as I've gotten from DBR for the past eight years or so, I guess I can turn Adblock off to help give back.
In my defense, I block all sites, not just DBR. Especially billybreen.com. Ads there run rampant.

In the spirit of ads popping up based on certain buzz words, I would like suggest that google send me the link for Emergency. I saw one on here recently and now that I have some time to kill I'd like to watch an episode on my computer as had been advertised in the ad.
Emergency, emergency, emergency.
Wonder if this experiment will work.
edit: so far this experiment is a total flop.

Emergency, the old late 70's tv show about the ambulance/paramedics squad (and iirc, spinoff of CHiPS?) Loved that show. Loved it.
Here, let me help with the ad triggers -- tv emergency on-demand streaming emergency.
