The wonderful world of targeted ads

Post by Nil Satis »

The three current targeted ads that appear for me below posts on here are for:

- Fruit Tree Pruning

- Fruit for the Office ("We deliver fresh fruit daily")

- Fresh & Juicy Indian Mangoes

I think we may have uncovered a flaw in their keyword algorithm... ;-)

You can pay to remove them, not that i ever would, untill you just said what they were i had no idea, i just look through them, can't stand ads, any regular programmes i watch get V+, so i can forward wind when needed.

Maybe there's a gap in the market for some bright spark to exploit - developing a fruit machine for the modern health-conscious consumer, one that pays out REAL fruit...

If your on Chrome and don't want any ads just use chrome add blocker plus, it's free and stops everything.
