We are now testing running Yahoo text ads ... the system may take a day or so to finish targetting the ads, but it does let us choose a specific category for each forum if we want, so this will all be an experiment for the next little while.

Dear Mayor Karen, I would rather make a contribution toward keeping Pet Talk up and running instead of having ads by Yahoo on the page. But you're the Mayor, so if the ads are there to stay, then -- okay. (I'm trying to put in my two cents and also keep in mind the bigger picture.)
Thanks,

Yep, definatly seeing the Yahoo ads!
The thing that I don't like about these ads is that I cannot open them in a separate window, so it closes out of what I am doing on PT. I prefer Google's ads, for that reason.

My only problem with the ads are the non-pet/animal related ones such as "How Romantic Are You?"![]()

They change all the time. I saw something called PetMed and Ferretstore.com, but right now its for mortgages and realarcade, a game website.
I just ignore them- as I do on googleAnd if they help finance the site I am fine. We all know that a contribution system wouldn't work probably. Content you have to pay for is a problem- although there are people on this site who would be happy to pay a little.
I agree with that too! They are very unrelated... haha.Originally Posted by Kfamr

Well, at least these ads are just a narrow band of copy. The previous three were pet-related, the three now are mortages/credit cards. I think the majority have been pet-related.
These are not as distracting as color ads. The ones I really hate are the flashing ads on yahoo mail - they give me a headache!
