Ironically, when I clicked on this thread's title, when the page came up there was an ad for "live psychic readings." And there's an add for tarot cards below the OP too.

It is a free site so...at least it isn't porn

would anyone do a screensave when this happens and pm the admin on this so that we can contact the owner of the site and fix this.

and the ads are done by google and not by the owner. once it had gay dating sites and so on. i informed the admin and others on this and it was taken care of.

To add to what Jason said....... ads like this are also often generated by keywords within the thread. So, this thread, for example, uses the words "tarot cards" and now we get ads for psychic readings and astrology. If a thread is about dating, you are likely to get ads for dating sites.

I got a screeenshot of the Tarot card ad and another advertising "your angel's astrology". Who should I send it to?

I don't see how to attatch an image to a PM, so I'll post them here and then link to this thread in the PM.

You're welcome.

Nick or myself do not have the access or authority to modify the ads. Please send the issues to Greghead.

Thanks. :yes

I have seen another questionable ad on this forum a few days ago too......money talks I guess....if those ads were paid to be advertized on the site. In hard times when you need to pay the bills it is going to take trust of God's ability to provide rather than sink low in order to survive.<O:p</O:p

That's a poor excuse.

This is a very unfair accusation. The ads come in one big bundle and are triggered by keywords we use.

Vic has already stated that Greghead needs to be the one to address this issue and take care of it.

Are those ads paid for or are they free?

I have no idea.

 

[Bazz1040]

I have no idea.

That's why I said if. But either way it does look bad when a Christian site has some of the ads that were mentioned.<O:p</O:p

It's triggered by keywords. What can we do?

It's not fair to accuse the God-fearing Admin's without knowing the full story.
