Crass adverts

Question

The site policy on 'clean' posts is excellent. But if my wife looks over my shoulder while I am perusing the site, all she can see at the moment is an advert for 'Meet Sexy Polish Girls'.

Does that have to be the de facto site banner?

Where's this advert? I must have missed it, damn. - Eddy, OCT 22, 2009

Hey! Waddya think. Can a 71 year old retired accountant devolop a 6 pack while drinking beer and eating potato chips with sour cream onion dip?? Is there any truth in advertising.

Moe, maybe I need to clean my glasses but that guy neither appears to be 71 nor an accountant, - nizhoni1, OCT 21, 2009

Seeing the add about models wanting men who make at least $100,000 / year reminds me...

Did anyone else see the ad about desperate red neck women that still have most of their teeth and are ready to settle for YOU right now! ... all you have to do is prove you are NOT currently incarcerated and have worked at least 1 month (total) in the past year.

I know, I know...it sounds like one of those things that are "too good to be true," but I still want to check it out, and I haven't seen the ad for days and I can't find their site. :'-(

Answer 4

Just to add a comment (and maybe why Heidita doesn't see the ad):

There must be some truth in the fact that once you earn enough points you get reduced ads, because I don't get a banner ad where your screen shots show that you are seeing one.

Something to look forward to!

Answer 5

I used to get that ad too. It's paying for my Spanish lessons though so I'm fine with it!

Yes, Seitheach, I do appreciate that - I am only suggesting a line should be drawn! - Jespa, OCT 21, 2009

Answer 6

Could be alot worse than 'Meet Sexy Polish Girls' hehe...

That's true! But that would really give poor Heidita a heart attack :-) - Jespa, OCT 21, 2009

Lol. Is heiditas picture on the ads? :) I thought being a supermodel and all she'd already be taken.. ;) - cheeseisyummy, OCT 21, 2009

Answer 7

I have a dating service on the top of my screen as well, "For those who earn $100,000 plus, meet quality model types."

I get that one a lot too...lol - webdunce, OCT 21, 2009

This is the one! - Jespa, OCT 21, 2009

Answer 9

I frequently get a lesbian dating ad...or some such.

If these are google AdSense ads, then I think certain categories can be blocked in the AdSense manager.

Sorry Heidita - I messed something up...

Here you are:

Ad in question.

That's the one! - Jespa, OCT 21, 2009

Answer 11

Jespa'?? where?? I am not getting this ad, are you sure you are on Spanishdict?

Aaaa..... It means only people from UK can see it... Right on top of the site. - Behemoth, OCT 21, 2009

REally?????? I must ask Eddy, I have not seen this ad....still looking for it. - 00494d19, OCT 21, 2009

PM ;) - Behemoth, OCT 21, 2009

Sorry Heidita; I posted the question and went off to watch something on TV! Promise I am on Spanish dict and the advert has appeared most days this week. It's gone now, but I will email you a screenshot if / when it reappears. - Jespa, OCT 21, 2009

Answer 12

The adverts seem to vary on a regional (country by country) basis. Here is what I'm getting right now:

Dating Advertisement

Enjoy it.

oh...it's true, not that I doubted jespa's word. - 00494d19, OCT 21, 2009

WE don't even see this at all over here. - 00494d19, OCT 21, 2009

Answer 13

Yes - it would be nice... It definitely is not my favorite one

My opinion has noting to do with the site itself - just the advert is... no comments.

Answer 14

Hmmm, does that mean you also see this ad?? I don¡'t.
