I love seeing what banner ads pop up on threads. The one about “Happy 4th of July” had things such as “download patriotic music”. The one on the comet has “our solar system”. The one on having kids just had a link to “save endangered wildlife”. Amar’s tattoo just had about message boards - I guess there wasn’t a good match for it! Tyghress’ thread has a link to a pet tiger for sale.
Anyway, it may just be my weird sense of humor (humour for you across the pond), but take a look at what shows up every once in a while.
That one’s mine…I’m asking for donations for the “wildlife” here at Casa Izz
Seriously, some of them are quite humorous. Do they change depending on each post within a thread? If I were to say something about President Bush and the sex scandal, would it have something appropriate up above?
I’m guessing some of it works on key words that an advertiser pays for a connection with, similar to the way search engines work. If you want your own personal web site to come up in certain searches, you cram as many related words as you can think of in the meta tags of the home page. Search engines pick these up and spew pages forth based on many of these key words.
