Title: The diverse range of ads on VN site.
Post by: echenzi on December 25, 2010, 11:30:54 am
So for me.. it goes from home tutoring.. to taylor's college, to Asian women 30+ and Hot Gorgeous Russian Babes.

I know google automatically assigns add to sites according to the content.

Im wondering how we get the Asian Women 30+ and the Hot Gorgeous Russian Babes etc...

And also Primary school classes!?

P.S. It is quite amusing

It helps keep this site running.

I too get those ads. I've gotten mostly airline ads about cheap deals and the occasional "Asian women 30+" ads. You see an ad on the top (center) of page and another one on the right top-hand corner.

Presumably you can just use "Adblock" if you don't want the ads to appear. It's more amusing than anything - I wait to see what ad pops up next.

Adsense brings targeted ads to your website. So it uses keywords in the title, <h1> and meta tags, and throughout the page to bring you ads relevant to your page.

If there are no advertisers who have VCE ads they are willing to purchase then some random crap will come up from an advertiser who doesn't care where their ads are placed.

Also, the smallest keyword can trigger a contextual ad such as "bomb" in my profile can bring up ads on the top of the site about bombs.

Normally, Google has pretty decent targeted ads, but as not many people advertise about VCE specifically, then we get other ads from time to time.

Haha no, I was giving an example. Like I said its mainly from meta tags and what's in the <h1> and <h2> tags. If you made a topic about HC porn you'd have a slight chance of getting an ad but I'm sure enwiabe would have disabled those.
