I fully support the business decision to put advertising on DU, but is there anyway we can have the "Grey's Anatomy" banner promoting the season 2 DVD taken down? Skinner, Earl G. its your call but I wanted to raise the issue. Afterall sales of that DVD go to ABC/Disney.

1. Too bad that show is on ABC! I loved it.
Had to email them that they had lost a viewer. Somehow I am sure that they do not care . The sheep that are watching the 911 show are being 're-hypnotized'. My mother is one of them and the wedge just goes deeper. Ignore the ad. Peace, Kim

4. Ads often reflect the topics discussed
Edited on Mon Sep-11-06 03:53 PM by Solly Mack
Because the thinking is - if you're talking about a certain topic, you will be more likely to click on an ad relating to that subject...ABC/Greys Anatomy - for example

So as long as ABC is a topic...or keyword...and it's been a major search word lately...then ads relating to ABC are more likely to appear.



Current examples:

The Pentagon now part of the Bermuda Triangle!

Check the ads out.

Cheer up. Let's plan our DU trip to The Hague for the BushCheney Trials!
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=364&topic_id=2105638&mesg_id=2105638

check out the ads

Not so obvious example

5. I never see any of these banner ads that people so often mention
My guess is it's due to FF w/Adblock extension.
