Amnesty International ad...

Post by LA_357SIG »

I know you "have to pay the bills," but have you noticed the pro UN gun ban ad that AI has through Adchoice? ETA: that display on this site.

Just had an ad pop up promoting gun control and asking for support of Obama's gun control push.

Unreal.

I would personally pay Robert the costs of running the site rather than have all of the pop up ads.

They are, guns for sale/advertising is banned. Gun control is political.

Install AdBlockPlus if you use Firefox or Chrome (for those who don't realize it, Chrome is produced by anti-gun company Google).

Firefox and Internet Explorer browsers permit you to block pop-up ads via a browser setting.

These aren't the pop ups, its the banner ads that Robert put on the website to help defer the cost of running this.

I have tried blockers and they don't work in either Firefox OR chrome.

I have never seen any banner ads on this site with my current browser settings.

Not luck -- AdBlock. I didn't know the site had banner ads either.

AdBlock Plus, not AdBlock.

Also, you have to subscribe to a filter.

No, they're free. The filters contain lists of ads they will block.

I've not seen an ad on here since they started. I run AdBlock Plus. It works great. Sorry Robert.

Robert still gets paid for the ad even if its blocked, it just doesn't become visible on your computer.

I wish he could curtail the anti-gun ads though.

It's using Google, so it's actually a mix of both types. Most are still just pay-per-click. If the advertiser pays for it, then the ad pays by view count. You need many tens of thousands of views to make a buck or two per day. There is no way to control which type of ad you get.

Considering I saw a series of "surge suppressor" advertisements when I briefly disabled ABP here, I'd say old Google has some work to do on their topic-matching algorithm...
