Please excuse the ludicrous Google Ads

Also I noticed that since I've cleared out a lot of the junk advertisers, real ones have started showing up. Saw some ScanGauge ads for the first time yesterday.

They would go away even faster if people would stop clicking on them.
I read online somewhere that the more a certain site gets hits from an add then the more that add is shown on a site.

For example -
If a site give you a choice between

and people keep repeatedly clicking on the water fuel ad, then Google will add points to that add to make it show up more often.

It's also based on how much the advertisers bid, which I think is a more prominent factor in this case.

Heh, that would mean (in the above example) that the "Water As Feul" add competes well with GMC, DODGE, and FORD. Seeing that the "Water As Feul" is probably 80% profit on the scam, it makes me wonder just how much we get ripped off by the automaker themselves when we buy a car. So much for blaming the dealer.

Well, to be fair to the dealers, we've blocked almost all of the water ads, beforehand they beat out everyone.

What ads? Oh yeah. I use the Adblock Plus plugin.

Seriously. I hadn't thought of donating before this thread. Shame on me. Naughty, naughty me. It's in the mail next payday.
