Google Ads

Unlike some folks (Al, that means you) I have no objections to the banner ads. Sam has been generous to provide this forum at no charge to us and I believe all of us are appreciative.

But the latest revamp is bothering me a bit.

The Google Ads include links to agencies and quote engines and this . . .

The Producer's Alliance

Producers Alliance has been discussed in at least one thread and my recollection is, it was not favorable.

I don't know if you have the ability to screen or limit the type of ads placed, but IMHO ads for places like Producers Alliance cheapens the forum.

You can add specific URL's (websites) to an exclusion list when you run Google ads, if you so desire.

When I run ads I exclude my own sites - so I do not pay for my own traffic , which is always fun. LOL.

I have never seen the ad you are referencing as Google is good about rotating and placing according to the page content. If you are on a thread relating, then the ad may show - if not it might not ever show up.

Thanks for bringing it up, I have added them to the excluded url list. (There are already a whole bunch of url's on the ban list)

Thanks

I have seen NAA advertised before too. You might have already banned them since I can't recall seeing it recently.

Yes, they are banned along with Mega and a few others.

We should also block: senior-advisor-indianas-naked-insurance-agents.com

LOL!

That is not my site. Rick made that site up when he was stalking me.

I don't stalk anymore. I subcontract it out to mortgage brokers in need of a job.

Thank goodness. I was wondering why those idiots kept calling me trying to get me to refinance my town house.

How about adding this one to the blocked list?
