View Full Version : Block "dating" sites ads?
NevadaWolf May 29th, 2014, 01:37 PM No I do not want to turn off the ads entirely, I like them and will click on motorcycle related ones when it is something I want.
However, bad enough I seem to be stuck on "Browse 10000 Single Asian Women's Profiles" at the top of the page, now the Asians and Russians are at the bottom of the page as well!
Can we block those and get back to moto-related stuff?

alex.s May 29th, 2014, 01:49 PM most of the ads i get are related to welding accessories or supplies or some kind of car. although my facebook constantly spams me with that stupid 'farmers only' ad thing

That's what I thought at first but I doubt NevadaWolf and I have the same taste in women...:D:D:D

If my memory serves me, those ads are powered by google. Has someone been naughty?
jk! I am not sure how much "real" control Alex has. Add me to the list of users that would rather "keep it one hunnit".
fishdip May 29th, 2014, 01:55 PM I just put a new hard drive in my computer and this is the first site I went to. And I still get the dating site adds.

If it was that, I wouldn't be griping.
As it is, I'm incognito mode with cookies blocked. So, nope, not related to my browsing activity. :p

Plenty of Asians to go around lol
Alex May 29th, 2014, 02:03 PM I can block any ad from coming up on the site; I just need the domain name it is taking you to, and I can add it to the blocklist. I wouldn't be excited about having to individually approve each ad that comes onto the site, as Google generally does a good enough job of matching the advertisers with the viewers. Moving the site to SSL has seemed to cut the effectiveness of the matching, as the ad dollars have come down significantly, and I am seeing ads that seem a little less targeted than they once were.
But, keep in mind that the only income this site ever gets (or wants, for that matter) is a combination of those Google ads, and the small spiffs from etailers when you click on embedded links here to go to an online store to buy something. Keeping up a fast/reliable server for this level of traffic isn't rocket science in 2014, but it's still > $150/month in direct costs, and any of my time is free by definition. The ads & viglink more than cover this, which I'm grateful for.

This is the big one: http://www.chinese-lady.com/join/register10.php?03385
And a new one: http://www.chnlove.asia/join/register41.php?11643&gclid=CNPuiP-E0r4CFQqIfgodlAEAXQ
And the Russians: http://www.russiadatingonline.com/join/register02.php?14594
Damnit, now Dominicans! http://www.amolatina.com/?mkwid=cOiSgdvV5_dt&pcrid=33268264096&pkw=dominican+mail+order+brides&pmt=&gclid=CMrT9pmG0r4CFZKCfgodxisA6Q
Thais are getting in on the act too: http://www.thaimatches.com/join/register44.php?16054&gclid=CLSQtN6G0r4CFVBsfgodt6AAGg

Which is why I want to keep my ads on, as when i do see something I am interested in, I can click on it and research further with the chance of buying something. Its a small help but I know it does help the site out.

Its not the fact they're Asians, or Russians, or Europeans, or Americans, or women, or even human. Its the whole just seeing a dating site ad hundreds of times a day that's getting to me.
I mean, heck, show me a new farkle I can install and I'll be clicking happily on whatever link is put in front of me. :bounce:
Alex May 29th, 2014, 02:17 PM Those 3 have been blocked; it may take a few hours to kick in, but it will be soon.
NevadaWolf May 29th, 2014, 02:21 PM You are gawd! :bow:
I added three more as I was looking for the Thai one that I had been seeing a lot. Then I suspected my session was causing more and more to pop up so I just wiped everything again. I feel dirty from clicking on those. Ick
Thank you! Already seeing an improvement as there are motorcycles back on my screen!
allanoue May 29th, 2014, 02:26 PM LOL no need to block but what I get is:

I'm sure you could handle doing the top end jobs ;)
NevadaWolf May 29th, 2014, 04:08 PM I'm sure you could handle doing the top end jobs ;)
Trust such silliness to me and I'll leave parts off as completely useless. You may not like what I deem an acceptable end product. :D
CZroe May 29th, 2014, 04:29 PM No dating ads for me. When I hit up Harbor Freight or eBay for something I starts seeing related ads. Works perfectly! If someone else uses a shared computer with you, you might consider different profiles. ;)
dino74 May 29th, 2014, 05:38 PM I felt old :( when one ad said "Meet single moms in your area".
Singh2jz May 31st, 2014, 04:53 PM Disabled ad block for this site. :) make that $$$!
