Another bad ad

[vanx]

I don't think that's how adverts work. If they can track you they will show you adverts relevant to you otherwise you are going to get generic adverts. There are a few companies that do site specific ads but there isn't enough money in them compared to tracking adverts.

 

If gambling ads are a "no no" here then it should be fair game to report an ad that one deems to be irrelevant. Otherwise, it is a bit of a slippery slope where the grounds on which an advert is deemed to be inappropriate are anything but clear.

That Unibet advert is still there. This is from earlier today...

These ads are border-line phishing, since they are pretending to be from a certain social networking app. Why does this still have to be a game of whac-a-mole? Why can't all ads that appear on the site be pre-approved by staff?

There will be no ads left on Neowin at the rate you're going.

I guess they will need to come up with a different perk for a tier 2 sub then

They are either IP-hopping with their ads or the original ones reported yesterday never got filtered out.

All the ones in page 4 of this thread (current page)

They range from being irrelevant to the content of the site to being related to gambling (which Steve said he opted out of) to near-phishing ones that I mentioned.

I always consider ads that say "Your system running low" as borderline fraud, theres no way they could really knew that "My system" (whatever that is according to the advertiser) is "running low" (whatever that means according to them).

ah ay see.

 

Well in that case, all I ever see is ads not relevant to the site and related to gambling, every now and then local based ads (based on my browsing  I guess) but dating and gambling are very frequent, I shall report them from now on.

I've been getting this for quite sometime here in India. The text reads "This is what auditions for Bollywood movies were like in 1951".

New advertisement is redirecting on every page i visit from my android except the forums. One of the redirects used an exploit and downloaded a Trojan that lookout antivirus caught. In its current state i cannot see the home page or any news story. Is this what we should expect from neowin going forward?

[vanx]

I know you guys are busy fighting the good fight with spam, but another bad ad has slipped through under the radar...
