    There seem to be a number of grocery store and diet gimmick advertisers, so somebody is making money on it!

    I imagine they're needed in order to fund the bandwidth that the site needs now it's so big.

    Massive thumbs up to Mike :flowerforyou:

    Uhm, the ads at the top are adsense ads, so it's based on your own personal interests and your own internet history. So the diet gimmick advertiser is targeting you, because you searched for it somewhere :laugh:

    I keep seeing ads for crock pots, because I did a bit of a search for it on Amazon, now I'm constantly reminded about it. There are icons in the top right hand side of the ads if you want to change what you see.

    I don't have any ads. I use ad block plus.

    Oh! That explains why I am seeing clothes advertisements lately since I have been looking for a new outfit online. Duh!

    His name was Robert Paulson....His name was Robert Paulson....His name was Robert Paulson.

    Now if only I looked more like Brad Pitt and less like Robert Paulson, I'd be set.

    just go to `whois` on google and type in web address?

    You can do this for any website to see who owns and runs it?

    It was started by Neanderthals in a cave in 25,000BC. It wasn't very successful at first because the internet hadn't been invented yet.

    That makes sense. I keep seeing ads to switch to the insurance company I work for. :laugh:
