I take it the that the board is now automatically changing key words typed into ad links?

A couple I've seen:

hotel

server

::waits to see if they turn into links::

Hrm. Hotel didn't seem to work. Maybe it was hotels.

we can so make a game out of this.

Do you think it's hotels, accomodations, rooms?

Is it frequency of a word appearing or a combination of words?

Interesting. I'll see your Heidi Klum with a Swimsuit Issue.

So now it's a fight to see who's ad wins? Why don't you guys stay where you are for a minute while we see if we can influence the google ad's plans. Surely we can make room for everyone's interest eventually.

CM, I doubt it's Hatrack's fault, more likely some program you unknowingly installed on your computer.

I recommend running
Spybot Search and Destroy: here
Ad-Aware here
and/or Hijack This (higher level tool) here or here

I don't think Hatrack is doing anything besides the Google Ad-things at the bottom of the page.

Hmmmm, so it's based on post content, eh.

*Runs back here*
 
Posted by CalvinMaker (Member # 2032) on :
 
Dang. I didn't realize there were ad programs that did that.

I have Ad-Aware already. I'll run it.

I want a book on white trash cooking. Spam spam spam spam spam spam spam spam We love spam, Beautiful spam. Spam spam spam spam. I don't know, does an ad for the "Carter Center" count? I can help wage peace!
