Default non stamping related ads

I've noticed lately that the ads at the top of the forums pages are rarely stamping-related anymore. I thought in an earlier announcement it was said that they would try to make the majority of ads more related!

Lately, all I see is are ads for Cirque de Soleil, People.com and a filesharing site. Am I the only one seeing these?

Give me back some ads that I want to click through!

No, you are not alone in seeing these. I've gotten used to ignoring the ads, quite frankly.

The ad software, I think, has the ability to search for key words in a thread and tie those key words into the ads.

advertising changes will happen over time, as of right this minute *nothing* has changed on the site actually, when it comes to advertising.

more or less stamping-related ads kind of depends on the day or week. I was just talking to Lori (Lori does ad sales) and she was telling me we're going to have a busy september.

I thought that Google ads would show related ads based on the content of the page you were on if there wasn't an SCS sponsored ad. I was on this page about stamping on napkins and the links at the top are for Health Plans and HR Certification Online. In the past, I would have seen something about stamps or napkins.

I just thought it was odd.

I miss seeing the ads for the Member Companies and what sales they have going. The only way I see their ads anymore is IF I go to their individual forum.

I'm slowly learning to just ignore the non stamp ads....:(
