rolling Too bad I have an add-blocker installed: I always get a kick out of targeted ads (which sometimes: like this time, are not QUITE on target!)

Hi there!

That is not an ad that we would choose here at WDWforGrownups.com, and I'd like to share with you how our ad structure works.

We use Google Adsense, the most popular form of automated online advertising on the web. Google Adsense works on a targeted structure, choosing different ads for each visitor based on the site's web content, "cookies" that have been placed on their computer, and their physical location. For example, I recently checked out prices for a trip to the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas, and I now see ads for the Venetian here on WDWFG. Also, because I live in Texas, I often see ads for local businesses.

Google does not show pornographic ads via Adsense, which is why I'm concerned that you may have a virus or some malware on your computer that may be affecting what you're seeing.

WDWforGrownups.com does not choose the ads that are run on the site, but we have noted that we do not want pornographic ads featured. In our experience, we've never seen any until this one.

If anyone else is seeing these types of ads, please let us know so that we can check in with Google about it.

it wasn't pornographic- it was for a on-line dating service. I wasn't upset, I found it funny.

I get pop-ups and spam mail from every dating site imagineable; J-date, Christian Mingle, etc. I probably do have some malware or evil cookie lurking on my computer.

I got a good laugh from this thread! Luckily, I too have an ad-blocker so I never see any type of ads or popups.

I'm getting ads on this site now for a gay cruise to Southeast Asia. There has been a misunderstanding here between man and machine. I think my computer has gotten the wrong idea about me.

Not that there's anything wrong with a gay cruise. wink

I keep getting a banner that says 3 friends have "unfriended" me. For as many times as I've seen it, it's a wonder I have any friends left. rolling

Apparently, I have far too much money in my wallet. They want me to "slim my wallet". This is what rich feels like? laugh

I really don't know what is going on with my ads! This week I am supposed to sell the timeshare that I don't have, adopt a whale (what?), and run a marathon during gay pride week in Tel Aviv!

Now, since my wallet is so fat, I need a new Audi TT RS. I am thinking that will not work out too well with 2 adults and 2 car seats. I am seeing a pattern here.

I was looking up running shoes a couple days ago and now NIKE ads are ALL I see! It's like they're taunting me... I need new shoes, I get it... leave me alone.
