Can anyone explain why in the heck on my food log page, there are not one, but TWO Dominos pizza advertisements? I am completely upset over this.. a page that we are using to try to be GOOD and Dominos gets to advertise there? Just Wrong!

    The ads on this site are done by Google, and are driven by your search history. If you searched a pizza website (I order pizza online) you will get ads for pizza. I saw a commercial on tv for the Genie Bra, googled it, and instantly started getting Genie Bra ads on MFP.

    Are you sure it is MFP? I have never seen any ads on MFP. Could it be spyware, adware, or malware on your computers embedding the ads. Those types of things have little trackers and if you look something up or go to a website it tracks those and the incorporates them into other sites and pop-ups. I have my ad-blocker on and I also clean out the cookies, and do spyware and adware sweeps to remove them from my computer.

    I've never ordered pizza online, or done an online search for pizza, but I get the Papa John's and Domino's adds too. Doesn't bother me a bit.

    if a friend mentions something in a post about a food, exercise, diet etc
    and its on your wall or in the forums, you will see an ad for it also.

    those of you not getting ads, are you on the MFP site or are you
    using the app on your phones?

    I think lijkelly is right. I ordered roller skates online and MOST of my ads are for roller skates.

    Well, i have yet to see one!

    And the truth is that eventually we will all see ads ... but right now my guess is they have private investors funding the site and that is why it is free. That is generally how it goes with start up dot coms ... like twiiter, facebook, jtv ...all of them started out with personal funds, then investors ... users never put a dime into it. :)

    some browsers have the ability to screen out ads....They don't bother me, usually. Except the ones that open with a mouse rollover. I hate those.

    (I want some fun ads)

    And, of course, since Domino's is mentioned on the thread, I have that ad sitting right up at the top of my page now.
