Does Anyone Else Find These Women At The Top Offensive?



Recommended Posts

Hmmmm.... I don't see them. I think the banner ads are customized based on internet searches and things like that. For example, When I was looking at jewelry last year, all of a sudden my banner ads were all from jewelers.

Yes, Rev Me Up is correct. The ads are based on your Cookies so they can be directed at what you have recently searched for. For me, I see reflective running hats and shirts, which is what I have been Googling lately. Last week, I was searching for toy helicopters and guess what? They were all over my ads. What have you been Googling lately? Is this a shared computer? Who else conducts searches on your computer?

I think if you clear your Cookies and history, it should reset them to basic ads.

You can always direct questions to the board owner Alex if you're feeling offended or otherwise for anything relating to this website. I am moving this thread to the proper channel.

If you provide me with the URL of an offensive ad, I can ban it from showing again.

Maybe it's your browser. I have firefox and I have ads for surgeons of bariatric surgery. Sometimes I get Unjury ads too.

I'm personally getting tired of seeing the bright blue ads that are focused on a skinny woman's torso (who SO NOT EVER had WLS or a baby) that go to http://www.mysurgeryoptions.com/.

I totally get the e-commerce thing too (I'm actually in that industry) but Alex, you may see more conversion if you mix in some ads for Vitamins, Shapewear, hairpieces etc (like thecropqueen said). Judging from the traffic numbers in the forums, I think most of your users have already had surgery so they aren't benefiting from ads from surgeons.

I'm sure your population would be happy to do user research surveys, if you wanted to target them more effectively.

You could also build in an option for people to disclose in their profile settings what kind of surgery they had and how long ago... I bet that would be useful data as well. Just some ideas.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
