    There's no mention of anything underwear related on the page ( until now ironically enough ) yet Googles content driven advertising has underwear ads all over the place.

    Does Google think AH is pants ???????

    I think Google Ads is hilarious. Half the time, they're triggering off something taken completey out of context. What page was this on? Right now, it's suggesting accountancy software, which is fair enough.

    On a card gaming website I go to, it picks up the words "singles" and "deck" to suggest a dating site for sailors.

    The google ads bot scans the whole site and picks out keywords, so i'm guessing it probably picked up something from the fashion forum. I think thats how it works anyway. how else would it know what ads to put up for a brand new thread!

    I'll do whatever I like OP.

    Any chance of hooking us up with a few dating and/or dildo ads so?:)


  • Posts: 31,118 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Well, you've confused the bot so much that all I see are ads for "classified ads". :pac:

    I've honestly never seen an ad on boards.ie whilst logged in. I think there's a bug somewhere, because I don't block any ads.

    Not that I'm complaining of course.

    No, Google is worse than you think.
    It builds up a profile of you, tracks you with cookies and the like.
    Every time you search for something and click on a google link, it knows you clicked it. Google scans all your google mail content for keywords.

    So they're stalking you on the internet for advert suggestions.

    So Google is Googling my Google mail so it can show Google ads when I Google stuff in Google?

    What kind of random search engine could scan After Hours and come up with an ad about selling underwear? You coudn't make this stuff up.

    well everyone needs pants so its hitting its intended market.

    but i dont see ads on this site. Not because i subscribe but because i have blocked the ad server that the ads come from which results in a faster loading webpage. \o/


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 37,214 ✭✭✭✭Dudess


    That advertisement had absolutely no effect on me whatsoever.
