Topic: been noticing something

And that is that PER must be making a lot on ads these deays because now our sidebars are loaded with click bait!  anyone else a little annoyed with it?  But hey the site is still free.

Re: been noticing something

I haven't noticed that running on either Chrome via Mac or on iOS. So far as I have ever noticed the site uses Google for ad placements, so maybe big G has gone and done something wonky or you have accidentally installed some adware, brother!

Re: been noticing something

I see banner ads, but not so much side bar ads.

Babson to the right.  Mexican ladies on the bottom. As long as I don`t leave the cursor on it, it is just an ad. If I do, it clicks on the ad automatically. It doesen`t bother me. The one for Discount Tires came up. I did click on it. Has anyone ever done business with them. Four 17"  Cooper tires and wheels for 1300 sounds pretty good. Free Shipping. I may go through them.

Re: been noticing something

I've used Discount Tires. I have them ship the tires to my mechanic, who calls me when they come in. Then I go and have him install them. It works great.

Re: been noticing something

Chordie is such a terrific resource and contact forum, and I'm glad Per is able to attract some advertising to keep it going at zero cost for us. This site is almost a daily stop for me, and there's always something read, a new song to look up, etc.

BUT ... the best feature of this site is the respectful and constructive attitude of all you Chordians. Like any community, the residents are what make or break it ... and y'all have made this place fantastic!

Re: been noticing something

I notice the ads because they often overlay the content I'm trying to read, and there is no way to move around it.  I if I scroll down, the ad stays put!

It's annoying.

Someday we'll win this thing...

Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.

Re: been noticing something

I don't see any ads

Re: been noticing something

I think I must be  immune to those ads - I only see the great stuff that my fellow Chordians post. Although in reality they are there, I rarely even pay any attention to them.  They can put as many as they want on here  and get all sorts of funds for chordie as long as we get the opportunity to do what we do at no cost. This place is fantastic - made that way by the wonderful people participating on this site, not by the ads.
