    Firefox + AdBlock = no annoying ads. I wouldn't even know they were there if people didn't talk about them.

    The ads are determined by your search history. Mine is all about Groupon! Try to put in some searches in google and hopefully the ads will change.

    Remember though -- the ads are how this amazing resource is free!

    I never get those. Mine are Baylor (the hospital I work for) ads, weight loss surger (i assume from the hospital) and mostly jillian michaels ads. But I hear people say that all the time! Go figure.

    That's strange. All of my ads are for weight loss and fitness, products, meds, books, bariatric surgery, etc. Oh and Target here and there.

    not what you search, but what you do. they are based on key words found on pages you access

    Of funny!! I didn't know the ads were based on what we search. I've never gotten the food ones either - right now mine are all on qwest and other internet providers I'm sure because my son used MY computer when researching who to switch to next!

    I do appreciate that we have this site available for free because of these ads though. So happy - this site is a life saver!!

    I have never searched for BURGERS tho, Never not on Google or on this laptop, Plus my browser history is set to clear every time i shut it down, i think its more likely to give you the ads for what country your in ????:laugh:

    My ads change throughout the day lol. If I post about my horses I get outdoors ads from groupon.com if I say I'm having a bad day/feeling depressed I get medication ads (gee thanks lol). If I mention jillian michaels on the boards then her ads pop up (I usually say her name cuz I HATE her so the ads are useless lol) but I've looked into funny threads about other "issues" on here and then noticed my ads have matched that too lol.

    None of the ads relate to my browsing history. Ads for "all you can eat for €5" with pictures of dirty great big burgers or donughts or ads for weight loss products or "try these amazing exercises that will help you lose weight".

    you've never searched for burgers, but you've probably read an article or someone has mentioned burgers on a page you have read recently. that's why you would see it. google isn't accessing your history from your computer, it's accessing it as you are browsing.

    Funny thing is i have just gone to my home page to look at what the new ads are and they ain't coming up at the moment was going to tell you what ones i have got coming up now

    My first ones where exercise ones then, a ad showing a fat women and man in cartoon like image then going slim(super fit)

    Then the next one was CLICK HERE ALL YOU CAN EAT >>>

    And thats what came up when i first joined without adding any information on here ????:laugh:
