    I've nothing against them, I just thought the adverts would be classed as spam and therefore not wanted on the site.

    You shouldn't be. Please take a screenshot and email it to me if you see one again. I don't like spam ads and I ban advertisers who do that.

    Adblockers make me sad because the ads pay for the site. When people use them, we don't generate revenue.

    lol I don't blame you. AB was horrific, especially at the end. I try to be really careful about what ads are here and if we wind up with garbage ones, I want to deal with it. 

    We have a 50/50 split on the ads right now- about half of them generate something as long as a person loads a page with them and the other half are content-based. We do get paid for clicks on those, but most ad blockers don't block them either.

    I remember the ones on AB, those used to play havoc with people's computers. All it took was for the mouse to accidentally touch one of those links and the computer would crash in a jiffy. I wasn't the only one that happened to, it happened to several of my friends as well.

  • No, I don't get ads like that.

    At the moment I've got:

    AXA landlord insurance.  Which is weird.  I'm not a landlord and I don't know any landlords.  

    I often go to one of the 'you may like' sites as I think that earns a tiny smidgen of cash for the site.  Or I may have just made that up, I'm not sure.

    lol, the content ads do earn us a few cents with every click, but bear in mind, those are supposed to "learn" you, so if you click on ads that aren't relevant to you, it learns you wrong. You can actually teach them what you don't like by clicking the x and telling them not to show ads like it. Over time, they may start suggesting stories you have an interest in reading. 

    If the landlord insurance one is at the top of the page, those aren't usually targeted. It's a very small ad platform and the advertisers place bids based on the amount of traffic a site gets, generally.

  • I don't mind if the ads don't have any idea about me, so I'm happy to be indiscriminate in my choices.

    And I'm very happy to know that my landlord free life is a reality.  :)
