That the advertisers on this site seem to be for Higher Education Institutions and Travel Agencies.

But, when I log onto the Steelers board, all I see are ads for; Dildos and other "marital aids", E.D. Clinics, a place called Bling Bling Rims and Car Audio, and a Barber Shop that specializes in Mullets?


Carry on.

Ads cater to the needs and wants of the users.

I get that.  But, I'm still a bit confused.  The Steeler fans on here all seem to be so intelligent and sophisticated.

I guess we're just lucky to have the good ones on here, as clearly they are not representative of "Steeler Nation".

I think they're cross-posters. That's sick!

Dildos? High octane diesel powered dildos or 4 D cell battery operated? Ones that sound like a chainsaw when started? Chain driven or belt? With that ugly steAler logo embroidered on the side.

Because the ads reflect the personal interests of the you, the VIEWER, that's why.  It's 2018...thats how it works now. It's called ad personalization and is driven by your online search and browsing history. If I go to that site, I'd see completely different ads.

The banner right now above this Bengal Board thread on my computer is an ad for Overton's...a boat supply retailer. Presumably because I ordered a boat part online yesterday. I'm guessing you're not seeing an ad for boat parts right now like I am.

 So if you're seeing ads for dildos, marital aids and E.D. clinics, I'd keep it a secret if I were you. That's more information about you than we really need to know.

You just described what you have hidden in your sock drawer.

That is not entirely true.  The Ads you see are a reflection of FIRST the advertising engine they choose, AND secondly their users preferences.

Thus the joke.....

The ads on a given site are usually tailored to the individual viewer, not the overall group of users.  


So you can admit to one of two things at this point: that you made up this whole premise, or that you are a well educated, red-necked sex addict.  Your choice.

You all keep saying that, but at the top of this page I've got a banner inviting me to apply to MENSA, and at the bottom is an ad for Rolls Royce.  On the Steelers board I see West Side Nail and Braiding and Jim's Buy here Pay here lot.  What gives?

C'mon now.  Would I ever, never not make that up for amusement and shenanigans?

Simple explanation...you obviously are using Burfict's laptop.

Just be warned, I'll be up in PA in a few weeks to do some Trout fishing.  I don't want to see any of y'all up on the banks acting out Brokeback Trout Stream.

You're apparently a complicated person.

Just as long as you and your buddies refrain from doing your Deliverance reenactment, we'll all be fine. You guys and all that squealing.....it might scare the fish.

True, but that doesn't preclude them from fancying a bit of back door play now and again.
