in Introduce Yourself
I was just writing about McDonalds in another post and up on top there's an ad for McDonalds. I know that ALL the food isn't bad but the ad has french fries in it. Is McDonalds a sponsor for this site? (Sorry spelled sponsor wrong up there. I'm not illeterate) :)

    No. Stop googling fast food.

    Mine is for puppies and gym equipment.

    I saw that too and just started laughing. It was an ad for a breakfast sandwich.

    Ads are based on search histories (and occasionally keywords in the post). I gt ads for Insanity and cranes (searching JLG lifts for work).

    I saw the same ad...and for the record I haven't been googling fast food. I actually haven't eaten McDonalds in 2 years. So I wondered the same thing....weird. But welcome! Glad your finding MFP helpful! I love it. It's helped me so much. Wish you great success!

    Ads are all different and based on your search history/location/etc....mine are all in Korean.

    Mine is now hot yoga pants and toddler food.

    They're rarely accurate unless I've been shopping.

    At first I was extremely confused as to why your ads would be in Korean, until I read your profile haha.

    could be something you searched...
    most of my ads are for Forever 21, Victoria's Secret, and Jillian Michaels or Insanity.

    Your computer will pop up ads that are based on your internet history. I highly doubt McDonalds sponsors this site. My ads are always for amazon or jewelry sites, as I do alot of online shopping. And ALL of McDonalds food is bad. ALL of it!

    The ads are why this site is free....the ads usually pop up based on something you viewed and/or commented on....

    Weird, mine is for Plan Canada. I was searching for a family mission trip a while ago. I guess it remembers from way back.
