Why is this advert on Pistonheads?

[The Lukas]

I'm not sure if this is the right place to put this, but it's about gassing in general SO here goes:

Anybody else sick of this advert? Why is it on a car website?

[ShadownINja]

That looks... disturbing.

A lot of adverts are auto-selected because of the topics discussed so when some comedian says "fk off back to your glassfibre rape shed you big gayer" don't be surprised if you start seeing auto-allocated adverts for rape crisis, caravan monthly & gay pride becuase a machine is listening to you.

Google adwords certainly works like that - not sure how the PH ones work though.

More to the point why is there an advert with Lenny Henry in a Travel Lodge in this thread??

Google adwords is usally just a small include file.

I'm only seeing ones for 'Wicked' at the moment - wonder what that is trying to tell me?

[The Lukas]

Ah I understand. It's all randomized so that's okay then. And yes it is disturbing...

We use multiple ways of getting adverts on the site, some by Google, some directly wanting to advertise with us and some by other means. Not all adverts are served the same way, nor by words used in the text of the forums (Google AdWords excepted which are found in news and classified ads, where we have more control over the content of those pages).

As far as I am concerned if the CO2 campaign want to spend money with us to help fund our chats about high performance cars then let them

That makes sense perfectly

Reverse advertising psychology.

Every time I now see one of the ads, I will raise a wry smirk.
