    It is a free website. Free websites are going to have ads. It shouldn't be any more of a temptation to you than going through a check out line at the grocery store or at a gas station. If you need a website without ads, I'm sure there is one you can pay for out there. They might not be as awesome as MFP though...

    Plus a majority of ads relate to something you've done on line. For example, I have 1-800-flowers and Kaplan University as my ads right now. Recently I sent flowers and enrolled in grad school. I know if I do a search for pizza, I'll get pizza ads. Maybe if you try clearing your cookies you'd get ads you'd like better.

    Remember you guys this is a FREE SITE!!!:flowerforyou: FREEEEEEEEE We are so lucky not to have to pay to join!!:love: The advertising pays for the site so we don't have to,:bigsmile: you have to learn to ignore it or get use to it. I think it's just a random group of ads that rotate so just ignore the ads, think of it as an exercise in learning will power?:blushing: Just ignore them they have nothing to do with the type of site this is obviously:wink:

    This makes me laugh. Lately it's been the changing Nanner and the Mio water enhancer.
    I can deal with both of those. But I do like bacon. Alot. And burgers. And Milky Ways are my favorite ever.
    That is all.

    Google Adsense is often triggered by keystrokes so if you have made a post (s) that mention food,sweets,candy in any way it may trigger an ad supposedly targeting you.

    I wondered about that. Someone posted about jog bras and the add on the page was for Title Nine, a women's workout cloths company. I thought that was a bit too much of a coincidence.

    Or not.


    Don't get me wrong, I love me some bacon and I have no trouble resisting when it's (or other ad temptations aren't) in my meal plan for the day. I just have to chuckle at the irony.
