is it just plain wrong to log on to MFP and see ads for food from Buffalo Wild Wings?? :sad:

Maybe its MFP's master plan to keep us all around here longer.... :laugh:

    Man - that's just wrong - I totally agree with you. Three things draw men to BWW: wings, sports, and beer. Ads on MFP is just contrary to the direction we are SUPPOSED to be taking!

    Jokes on you.... the site doesn't generate the ads- the ads come from your search history and patterns. Everyone's ads are different.

    That is only partially true. Not all ads are based on search history. Some are, while others may be about the topic you are reading/posting about.

    It is mostly based off of your search engine. I have NEVER seen a BWW or any other fast food, crap food as advertisements. Most of mine are Kroger or car insurance lol.

    As for the ads being from my search history and patterns, like said...only partially true. I knew that before posting btw.
    I think it also interprets what it thinks you want to look at since I see T-mobile and new car ads alot...I haven't looked at either on this computer at all. It also ignores stuff...or else my ads would be more music and guns related.

    I think many of these ads are based on searches on our computer, kind of what the Facebook controversy is about. I remember searching for some hotels in San Antonio and lo and behold, I was getting hotel ads for SA for the next 2 weeks.

    do you run outdoors

    Yes, I do. I only do treadmill for a good power walk on days when my knees are bothering me. But I prefer the outdoors, love it.

    I actually live in Buffalo, so there are ads for wings EVERYWHERE. And I still eat them sometimes, because it is impossible to not have wings in your diet in Buffalo. Everything in moderation! (or sometimes not, when I eat like 5,000 wings at a time)
