Ad Issue Again

[Phil Lilley]

Had this message today. 

“I am not going to sign up on your forum because of the google ad that shows a woman without underwear on.”

 We’ve discussed this before… Google doesn’t go off the site but off the user’s algorithm.

I get the Garmin Striker add every time even though I haven’t googled it as I am a Hbird guy.

I've never seen or even heard of ads with what he's describing. I've got photography equipment ads.

Ads on my screen right now: Garmin Striker Cast GPS; A Staples ad; A Yamaha side by side 4 wheeler ad; A Kaegrell shoe ad; An Academy ad for a ping pong table.  Pretty typical assortment.  I have never seen anything that even borders on offensive with the ads here.

I think that person should post a screen capture of the ads he/she is seeing. 😁

Orvis has been been all over me. I'd bet I've had 10 catalogs from them in the last month or two. And, they're here and everywhere else too as I browse. 

I saw 'Lebanon Bologna' mentioned somewhere about a year ago. I didn't know what it was, so I Googled Lebanon Bologna. Once. No interest at all, but ads still pop up pretty frequently for Lebanon Bologna. That poor Lebanon Bologna-selling company wasting their Lebanon Bologna profits on little old me who doesn't eat Lebanon Bologna. Now they're gonna try and sell all of us Lebanon Bologna. Has any one every had Lebanon Bologna? Is Lebanon Bologna any good?

I've got AdBlockPlus (it's free) and haven't seen an ad in years. I do 98% of my actual internet surfing on my laptop.

Y'all keep saying this, but I get the most insane ads on here all the time, including some that are borderline porn.  

Say or think whatever you want, but I haven't looked at any online porn in ages.   My internet history is nearly all fishing/hunting, marine or automotive related.  Maybe a few other random searches, but certainly nothing that pertains, even remotely, to the rediculous stuff that clogs the pages when I visit here (and NO I never click on it). 

Honestly, I don't get those type ads anywhere else but here on OAF.   

I'm not OFFENDED or anything, some of them are actually pretty funny.... but it is kinda odd.   Sugarbritches has looked over at my phone more than once when I was BSing on here and said...."Is Ozark Anglers full of a bunch of old pervs, or what?". 😂  And I just say Hell Yes!  😁
