Anyone Else Hate The New Ad Banners?
Asian and Latino dating-site banners on Baja Nomad?
Seriously? What next? Penis enhancement commercials?
Is this Baja Nomad website so destitute that its continued existence relies upon a proxy revenue stream from the world's lowest common denominator in
advertising---the sale of "SEX!"
Anyone else here tired of being inundated with ads you don't want to see on every single page you visit on Baja Nomad nowadays?

I think the banner ads are automatically customized to each user, especially if you use Chrome. If you browse porn and sex sites, it will show you
porn site ads here too. Funny how that cookies thing works, huh?

I also don't see those----right now the ones I see are for San Diego Real Estate, Baja Real Estate and San Diego roof repair------
all related to some of recent web searches----interesting, I never made that connection before.

I think the crawling banner ads come and go. I've been having them, sans porn, but at the moment I'm getting what all you others are seeing.......
No!!! Waidaminute........they're back. ---gasp----"Designers...we need you."
And....back to the print ad.

I absolutely agree with jakecard. Lord knows, we pay an exhorbitant amount just to be members!
Get a clue. When is the last time you attempted to watch a tube video, current events, replays of TV, or whatever. The upfront commercials are getting
longer. Just the other day, I sat through a 30 second commercial in order to watch a 15 second clip of John Stewart.
Print media is fading. But, revenue to support professional organizations must be raised somehow.
Just think about it. If Doug didn't have advertising, there wouldn't be a Baja Nomad website.

If you continue to admit to stupidity, you will be banned from Nomads.
A good member will stand up for his opinion, no matter if it makes sense or not.

I'm fairly certain that you are not stupid. All in good fun, my friend.

Anyway...it all comes around to the same defense mechanism everybody should be using with a pesky poster...If you don't like them, don't look at
them. These ads will be good practice for our next thread villian.

The ads I'm getting here are showing new styles of Viking Caps.....
The ads are generated for the area you live/work/ browsing history/ect ...automatically.

Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.
