Appears to only be visible to guests, not there when you log in.

How did this spam get here?

And who is this Stephanie who lives close by and wants me to meet her???

It's a google ad and they have been there for over 6 months. It pays the bills.

As you may know google follows you everywhere, and they think that you should get to know Stephanie better.

It's designed to piss off the people with multiple aliases who have to constantly log in all the time

It's sad to see Ozgolf stooping to such a level. Really sad.

The ads reflect the viewer not the forum. I usually see running shoe ads.

You may be right. I just logged out to see and I got links for golf related stuff. Not as interesting as Stephanie though.

Webster

You gotta refresh the page to see them all.

I'd hate to see what SMS's computer is throwing up.

I spotted these when I was on my two week holiday.
Funnily enough I clicked through a couple of the pics of the girls and some had more flesh exposed than my dear Katie Perry...funny that.

Not a lot - something about sms and poo.

99% golf related. Occasionally stephanie pops up - but how is she only 2.8 miles from me as well? She must get around a bit

I thought that but even when I log off I can't see them.I worked it out.

My son did something on our computer a while ago so we wouldn't get ads on youtube. It must have flowed through to crappy forum ads.

Still can't see them btw.

It would be the same. Google owns YouTube.

I reckon if a computer was capable of throwing up, SMS's computer would do just that.

I think that's what they are trying to suggest, yes.

Does Heather Lockyer look like Heather Locklear and sound like Locky? Awesome.

I keep getting advertising for the upcoming remake of Fatal Attraction featuring Julia Gillard and Tony Abbott (because deep down she REALLY wants him in a 50 Shades of Grey way.)

Just trying to work out if google ads would be worth putting on our sites.... Can you PM me at all. I dont care how much you drink etc

AndyP
30th June 2012, 05:43 PM
That's okay. I'm fine with being transparent, since all monies go back to site related things or charity.

It hasn't been consistent yet. Early on it was around $40 per month then it dropped. A couple of months ago, I changed some setting and it has since gone to about $70 per month or more.

Google works it out from views and clicks. You get more from the latter. I have assumed that Jack is very keen to get in touch with Stephanie, resulting in the good money so far.

I have it set up to show for visitors or people that aren't logged in only. I assume it would earn a lot more otherwise. Google only payout when your account gets to $150
