DirtTime Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 The g/f had one of her friends over tonight for dinner. I cooked, then retired to my office to check Facebook and other things. I was logged in here when "the tour" commenced". After seeing one of the adds you all have for dating services, my g/f's friend stated "So that's what they do at camp? It's not deer camp it's ************ cheating camp! I knew there was something wrong! He never brings home anything from camp!". They left my office and I really just sat here in awe for a moment. Then........... LMAO! I had never met this woman b4, and I am sure she now thinks of hunters in a new light. I am sure her hubby won't be in camp for at least this next season.

jjb4900 Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 yeah, I was under the impression that a lot of pop up ads and advertisements are based on your search history............. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don_C Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Sorry to say, but you may be the one who has something to worry about! The displayed ads are based on recently visited sights on your computer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNYBuckHunter Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 The others are correct. This site uses Google Ads, and they are based on the cookies and search history of the computer you are using. They are not chosen by the site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NFA-ADK Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 It is just one of the ads the site posts up. But if you search lets say Flashlights you will start to see advertising for them... Clean up your temp files and cookies to clear it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy K Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Running boards and jeep ad for me. If I had been searching dating sites then I would suspect an ad for a dating site would pop up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtTime Posted March 21, 2015 Author Share Posted March 21, 2015 LOL! Three people have used my PC. in the last 3 months. Me, my brother had some issues and stayed here for a few weeks, and my cousin came up from 'The Island' for a weekend and said he wanted to check his Facebook.. I am used to just me using my PC, so I never manually went in and did a manual deletion of temp files, cookie and images. Will have took into those folders now. Most of the ads I get when I am here are for Audi. But even with a clean file system, this site does have ads for mail order brides. Maybe it;s Google doing what they do. Look up what Google really does with your information! We all get those calls at all hours with someone trying to sell something, or reduce credit card bills. You know the ones. "Press one to continue or press 9 to be removed fro out list." Press either and you get a flood of more calls. I wasn't making a crack at this site. I just found it funny that the little womans friend would react like that over an ad. Tin foil helmet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 I'm not sure about the exact connection between browser history and the ads that are displayed. I have an almost constant ad off to the side about "edge" products which are vehicle parts. I haven't ever researched anything that relates to vehicle products either directly or implied. So I have no idea where that would come from if they are basing it on browsing history. Also there is another ad about American express platinum card. Again there is no history on this computer that has anything to do with credit cards, American Express or any other kind. So I am a bit skeptical of the statements about any of this being based on sites visited or even a rough pattern of site history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Engineer Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 This explains a whole lot. My wife just saw this site while I was on it the other day and asked is that all you hunters do.. I asked what do you mean she said look at the ads on the site. all they advertise is porn, mail order brides guns ammo and machinery parts. Little does she and for that matter me to about the internet and cookies. Now that we all know delete this thread or our wives are going to know what the hell we look at when no oneis around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtTime Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 (edited) Well, I did a full clean up on my pc. Right now I am on the g/f's laptop. Which I did the same to. Here's a screen shot below from her laptop. Then I will get a shot from my pc, and then I will hook up a pc that has never been connected to the internet see what the ads are on that. Man, again I start a thread as a joke because some people overreact to things, and everyone gets the a bunch in the crack the Good Lord gave you. Some people have the humor of a rock. I guess this is a pun. LMAO! Edited March 22, 2015 by ....rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
