Ads on DDMS
« on: August 31, 2017, 10:21:47 AM »
I know that a lot of the ads on DDMS are based on your browsing history and not put up there by Dan but I'm still surprised by some of the ads I'm getting.
What's the most interesting one you got?
Right now I have an ad for Tyson chicken

Nearly all Google Adsense ads are targeted to you based on your own browsing and search history.

I've had a few that were a bit surprising, as far as tznius was concerned. Took me a sec to realize it was a Google ad and not a DD ad. That's what happens when you let your wife shop online...

I know that.
I've been on goyishe sites and chucked when I got ads for Artscroll but I'm really not sure why I'm getting Tyson chicken but I'm not blaming in anyway.

We've blocked several sites that were serving those, feel free to pass on a screenshot and URL of the advertiser.

I was going to say that you can always have certain URLs blocked on your site.
But the funny part is like JJ said above, its mostly based on their own browsing history and habits, so i don't see why you should have to do anything. Either way an ad will be served, so money-wise you wouldn't be losing out..

More on topic here, I get ads to sign up for the Secret Service all the time. https://www.secretservice.gov/join/careers/

And I never visited their site before I saw that ad.

Google algorithms are a fascinating subject.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

I just went to DDMS with a browser without the ads blocked just to see what you guys are talking about. I got seemingly completely random ads.

Ha, at one point I was trying to outsmart adblockers, was even thinking about putting a cheesy comment (that dan would probably never allow) like "turn off your adblocker, cheepo!"

Adblocker is the best thing since the invention of ads on the internet
If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.

I'm not really using an ad blocker per se, it's a javascript blocker. One of the side benefits is it blocks many ads :)

TBH the ads themselves usually don't bother me all that much, (unless they're really intrusive or obnoxious) my bigger problem is I just don't like all the tracking.
