Wtf is with the bikini girls for a Filipino date site?

Don't get me wrong.......I like boobies........but does it really need to be right freaking there when you go to the bbs?

Creative use of /etc/hosts or c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts and no ads either

Although I do see some interesting stuff when I turn on my "random ad" - I change a null route to local host and have my dev instance of Apache serve up a random image from my home directory...

I don't have any banners.

ADblock.

BTW...what's a wife?

Sorry I didn't clarify, this is on my Android, I haven't touched a PC in quote a long time....

[SiberianDVM]

Send the boobies to me. All I get is AutoTrader and La Quinta.

[Laneco]

On my work PC, I pretty well get ads from the last few sites I visited.

Like they say, no such thing as a free lunch...

The ads you see will be related to the sites you've been visiting, naughty boy!!!

Firefox and Adblock+ ---> no ads

Yep, mine are mostly car dealerships, hotels, and office supply

[gacook]

At work, there are no ads (our system shuts down EVERYTHING). At home, I don't care about ads. They're on every site you visit, so I've learned to not even notice them.

Yes, what have you been looking at....my ads are for cars and car parts, dehumidifiers and generators.

Try this. Go to kmart.com or amazon and look up something specific. Go to amazon look for the same stuff.

BTW, if he clears history and cookies will this clear out these customized ads to get more generic ads?

[JJ 911SC]

Not sure how this was done but one day I check something on Amazon and the next day I got an e-mail for the same product from EBay...

[dhoward]

You haven't explained to your wife the concept of targeted marketing?

[72doug2,2S]

Allstate insurance. I haven't been on an insurance site in years.

To be fair, you may get these even if you have never been to one of these sites but because you fit some demographic. For instance, they probably know you are male because of the car part shopping or on pelican or looking at car stuff. Now suddenly it all about viagra and mail order brides....
