Appropriate advertisements in IIS?

[allan gould]

Are these appropriate to appear on IIS pages?
All for the other persons point of view but find it a bit odd.

I'm not sure what you are pointing out Allan? It just maybe domestic blindness creeping up on me but could you elaborate?

[iceman (Mike)]

You mean the horoscope/numerology google ads?

[MikeyB (Michael)]

I think Allan is referring to the margin ads for numerology and astrology.

[allan gould]

Numerology birth charts and Zodiac Horoscopes in an astronomy site?
Small ads seen on right hand side of enclosed screen grabs

[jjjnettie (Jeanette)]

The ads must be generated by keywords.
There's been some dodgy ones now and then.

[allan gould]

Probably Google generated like at the Newspaper shop where astronomy is lumped in with the paranormal, ufos and other fringe pursuits

I always miss them, they are like the ads on telly I just switch off to them.

[iceman (Mike)]

Google dynamically displays ads based on keywords on the page, but is also affected by how much the advertiser pays google.

Astrology/numerology businesses would likely target "astronomy" related keywords because they are so often confused by the general public.

I C. sorry I have this optical condition that automatically filters out garbage. (shame about the profanity filter )

[Screwdriverone (Chris)]

Well, I dont mind these, at least its better than on other sites when you search for say " Chilean Earthquake" and you get these stupid ads along the side that blurt "BUY Cheap Chilean Earthquakes on dumbauction.com" or "Find the best price on Chilean Earthquakes, FREE Quotes"

I mean, really, can the graduate web designers at least TRY a bit harder than that?

Cheers

Chris

Hey - if they are willing to pay for ads where they are least likely to be effective - I say let them be parted from their cash!!
