If you create a google profile, and keep logged into it, whether it's via gmail or whatever, it tracks relevant ads based on your interests. When one of the unwanted ads shows up, x it out and it will no longer show you ads from that site, and will adjust your "interests" away from those. The default ads are going to lean towards more seedy site unless you get a profile going.

If you use google in any way it tailors the ads you see by your browsing habits. Nuf said?

well, I'm guessing we'll have equally happy and sad people. We are able to block dating sites, so sorry guys, no more Asian Temptations to um, temp you.

And on a side note, we realize ad blocking software is out there, but, we would ask you to consider setting your software to allow ads on this site to be shown. It's a big part of what keeps the site up and running.

Thanks.

if you use google chrome(chrome seems to be loved in many aspects of our lives haha) then go to google and download adblock, its great, no more ads or youtube ads ever, they ask for a donation after you download but its optional, just exit it and youre good to go

Microsoft's advertising practices

Microsoft does not scan your email for the purpose of serving you ads. The ads that you see in your Outlook.com inbox are served to you on the basis of info that you give Microsoft, including the demographic details you provide when you register your account. And, you may opt-out of receiving ads that rely on this voluntary information at any time by visiting our opt-out page.


Google's advertising practices

If you use Gmail, or send email to someone who does, Google scans the contents of your email and extracts what they think are relevant keywords in order to target you with ads. Sometimes this can give you ads that are inaccurate, inappropriate, or insensitive. Gmail users and recipients are unable to opt-out of the email scanning, keyword extraction, and profiling process.


That came up when I signed out of outlook today. Granted it a sales push by Microsoft but true nevertheless.

Moonshiners and Chevy truck ads is all I'm getting here these days... I used to see Stephanie on here quite often, months ago. Now using Firefox and blocking all history..other tight settings..
I think the ads you're seeing is kinda like a VD, visitors bring in their "history" and it gets spread around a bit..... depending on the software and settings that you have(protection).... not a virus thing, just a "read only" thing.... I'm no techie, that's just what I think has happened.... I miss having Stephanie only 2.3 miles from the house..... it was one of the ads.... LOL

You guys are hilarious.
Look for Wannafish A Lure on FaceBook

He said, “Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.” When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish.

I just want to clear one thing up. I was contacted by Stephanie first. So I lay claim to her by rights. Ifin you guys talk trash about her you'll have to answer to me.In fact Im taking her out salmon fishing this weekend in the Wa Lakes 85' Carver yacht this weekend. Im teaching how to cut plug herring.
