I wonder if at least ONE of our members gets interested when reading these ads.
These ads should be "sensitive" (or w/e they're called), u know.. they should refer to music things exclusively, but oh well :-/ I have seen some music ads and clicked them.
Anyway, just click on the things so they continue paying ATRL, like Mazen once said.
They use googles engine which scans your page for key words then finds a ad based on that. With a forum it is really hard, because say we are talking about a music cd, well it may find cd and then display a ad for a place to buy blank cd-rs. If I limit it to just music then revenue goes down because then there are fewer ads and then when it cant find a match is displays nothing.
There is some stupid ad that's always on my screen
about some death quiz if you wanna know how many days you have left
and a stupid hooded skull that laughs everytime you pass the cursor over it
kinda hate it! LOL It;s really annoying :P But whatever....

haha, I'm an ad major so I know all about this. I believe they use a program called AdWords, which places ads based on keywords AKA "behavioral targeting." oh god, I'm such a nerd.
