Got a laugh when this popped up as one of the two advertisements while I was browsing the Subsim forum...
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000BQ06RA?tag=cyberknight&camp=211493&creative=379985&linkCode=op1&creativeASIN=B000BQ06RA&adid=13QR0VGXSYN76KBYFRQ8&
Guess I should put a disclaimer here: it's a man thong.
PD
I did NOT laugh.
Now if I go to Amazon it's stuck in my 'recently viewed items' :damn:

I'm wondering how the ads that we see are chosen? Anybody know?
PD
Why, clearly it's targeted advertising for our extremely manly forum :rotfl:

I thought if any clothing came up it would be a shirt with lighthouses.
Damn, the man thong is here again while I'm typing this. :damn:

Yeah, but it's a BIG manthong :D
There's also a poster of Victoria Silvstedt in those ads.:o Not that I'm complaining, but I wonder how it got there.:hmm: I'm guessing the ads are based on the general text of this forum, but I don't see how this one would be generated like that. (I have seen this type of thing on other forums though) I guess it is helping Subsim's revenues anyway.:yep:

The thing is, even though I bloody hate ads, to pay for the servers Subsim has to bring in some dough. Now that the Pacific Aces has been around a while and we are currently without a sponsor, Amazon and Google are it. Donations usually drop off to zero around Christmas, something about buying presents for kids ;)
I think just about everyone goes to Amazon to buy stuff, I bet 90% of the guys that post here type "amazon dot com" in their browser to get there... if they would only remember to hit the Subsim Store page and search from there... costs you nothing extra, makes some $$ for the Subsim Orphans Ward.
Of course, you could also get your own copy of the
2007 Subsim Almanac (http://www.subsim.com/almanac/)http://www.subsim.com/almanac/1__alm31.jpg
that would be nice too
In that case...

I'd try posting for former playboy girls Jaime Bergman and Misty Dawn, but I don't think there are any posters of them on Amazon.:nope: Or anywhere, for that matter (although they have been on many calendars:hmm:).
@ Neal Stevens - Actually, I for one don't mind the ads at all, but I don't buy from Amazon as I only use Paypal online. If I ever do start buying from Amazon though, I will be sure to navigate through here.:yep:
Neal, how do the adds work? Do you get money everytime we click on them, or do they pay you an amount every month for the advertismentplace?
Onkel Neal
12-13-06, 09:06 PM
Amazon ads, they pay 6.5% of any purchase you make after clicking the ad and going to Amazon.
Does that count for Amazon.com merchant sellers as well? And what about foreign Amazon sites, like Amazon.ca? (foreign to you Americans, but domestic to me:cool:). I have read about the policy and Amazon before, but can't remember the details at the moment and don't really have time to check.

Merchant sellers = third party sellers? Yes, they count, too.
We have an Amazon UK and Amazon Germany... in 18 months a total of 2 items have sold through there :-?
Yes, I have actually looked through both Amazon.uk and Amazon.de for Bachman-Turner Overdrive CDs (just to see what different ones they had listed:p). There are also French, Japanese, and Austrian Amazons I believe.
And yes, I was talking about third party sellers when I asked about the merchants.:yep:

For those of you who really don't know, the Amazon ads don't really have much to do with the site. Keywords are used only after the Amazon cookie check.
So if your ad on the main page was for a male thong, someone on YOUR computer was recently browsing somewhere looking at male underwear.
Not sure about this? Try it. Close all your browsers. Clear all your cache and cookies. Go to a search engine and search on something specific. Say.... chocolate chip cookies. Spend 3 minutes browsing stores, shops, even Amazon for chocolate chip cookies.
Go to the Subsim main page and tell us what the ad was. Now you'll see.
So anyway PeriscopeDepth, someone using your computer? Let us guess, your 'little brother' was on it looking for Christmas thongs. Right?

And besides male thongs I also apparently purchase romance novels, activities for young children, and stainless steel wire.
PD
Just jabbin ya. :)
Actually there are many ways to set up the ads. It depends on how Neal does it.

My old lady said that was going to be a private picture that only she and I would share. How did that get on the internet??
Is it just me, or has there been just about enough man-thong talk....:hmm:
Hehe, unfortunately I have no idea what this is all about... I have NoScript plugin for firefox which prevents javascript etc from running on websites unless I specifically allow it.
Currently Assoc-Amazon.com is not allowed, so I am man-thong free at this time :D
