1. You could give as little as five dollars and become

a star donor and never see ads again.

Just a suggestion.

[brush]

2. I will consider that. I thought it was important to share info with DU that we most likely are . . .

still being trolled by pretend progressives.

[Crunchy Frog]

7. We've had trolls here since the site began in 2001.

That's got nothing to do with the nature of the Google pop up ads.

Also, disagreeing with someone is not grounds for calling them a troll. If you think someone's a troll, contact the admins with your concerns.

[brush]

10. I didn't call anyone a troll. I suggested what you said has been going on since '01 still is.

[Crunchy Frog]

12. What?! You mean there are trolls on this site?!! Right now?!!!

What an amazing discovery you've made. Better tell Skinner to get on it right away.

[brush]

15. What's with the snark? It's not called for. Others who have interacted with a particularly . . .

fervent Trump voter defender know what I'm talking about.

[Crunchy Frog]

16. And you're accusing that poster for being responsible for you seeing Michelle Malkin ads here.

Why don't you debate that person on the issues, or else inform the admins that you think he's a troll, rather than throw out baseless accusations that are physically impossible.

[brush]

23. Again I didn't accuse anyone of being a troll. I observed repeated appearances of Malkin ads after

interacting more than once with a trump voter defender. Could be a coincidence but it kept happening.

If you didn't participate in any of the threads you don't have any idea of the amount of push back that came from many other DUers against the persistence of the trump voter defender.

I can and will continue to share my observations with others despite what you think.

[Agschmid]

27. What's ironic is the more often you type her name the more often you'll see the ads.

[melman]

3. It doesn't work like that

Nobody else on here could have any impact on what ads you're served.

[brush]

6. Others differ with your take on how it works

[melman]

9. Well they're wrong

Because that is not how it works.

[brush]

11. Well how does it work?

[melman]

14. I'm not an expert

I just know what others post can't affect your ads.

Here's some info on how it works: https://support.google.com/ads/answer/7029660

4. Reminds me of the PURPLE VIBRATOR Wars of DU2!!!

Someone was bullshit that an ad popped up for a purple vibrator...and complained about it. So everyone started making purple vibrator jokes, and as a consequence, that ad kept popping up. The more it got mentioned, the more it appeared.

Same deal with ANN COULTER--you keep mentioning her, and the Google analytics figures it out, and you would see ads for her books all the time, right here on good old LIBERAL DU!

Send a donation in, though--and you won't have to see the ads. This really is one of the best news aggregators in town--it's timely, it's user-friendly, and it is curated by people who share your perspectives. What more could anyone ask?

[brush]

8. Not complaining about DU, just trying to figure out what triggered the Malkin ad since there was . .

no mention of her in my posts.

[MADem]

18. Did someone else mention her? That's all it takes!

It's like Beetlejuice! All you have to do is say her name THREE TIMES.......



Seriously, it's not what you alone say--it's what everyone says. If we're all talking about what an asshole so-and-so is, the next thing ya know, there's an ad on the sidebar for so-and-so's book.

I haven't seen ads here in over a decade--I have to log out to see them.

[Crunchy Frog]

13. How did I manage to miss that one?

[MADem]

17. You were around back then!

I thought it was hilarious....and that purple device was especially amusing in a banner ad! Like a psychedelic submarine, getting underway! There was no missing it, either!

[rug]

20. But it's true.

[MADem]

21. GAAAH--I think that's the one!

Ha ha ha!!! It was lurid and long, but it wasn't surfacing in the display pic!!!



Those were the days....

[rug]

22. Stop it! The more you talk about it the more it mutates.

[MADem]

24. LOL--now that would have been hilarious on a banner headline! nt

[marybourg]

5. The ads are triggered by words mentioned on this site.

"Trump" is one of those words. Ads from sites for or against Trump, if they are clients of the agency that provides ads to this site (and from which this site profits), will appear.

A donation will make them go away (and help this site replace the money from the ads.)

[Madam45for2923]

19. Use AD blocker. I don't see any ads here and am not a star member.

[Kilgore]

26. So you are good with depriving DU revenue?

Although not pleasant, my annoyance is offset by knowing Im supporting DU

[Madam45for2923]

28. lol!

[Coyotl]

25. Because you don't use ad blocker.

Adblock Plus - Surf the web without annoying ads!
https://adblockplus.org/

This is why my ad revenue has fallen to below 10% of what it used to be.

[NCTraveler]

29. After your op here and a number of your replies,....

Plan on seeing some more of those ads.

No one here supports Trump.

[TheBlackAdder]

30. Click on the damn things, make her fund this site. Remember, only 1 click counts every 24 hours.

.


Go one click into the landing page, so there is no question that is was a valid ad redirection.


No mater how many times you go to an ad, in any given day, at night the clicks are resolved to prevent gaming.
