On the link provided by Bob, I went to a page that had all the threads on one side, and then a comment by someone recommending inositol. I didn't see any ads.
I use the layout that doesn't have two side-by side 50%-of-the-screen windows. I'm not sure how that would work on my view, but I still didn't see ads. (I paged down to the bottom.)
I'd also rather have some sort of donation procedure than use ads. But maybe Bob sees that as giving some people a proprietary interest in Pbabble, and giving the sense that some (donors) are somehow in a different position from others non-donors).
While I'm not sure what's indicated by google ads, is it text ads like you see on the google search or gmail sites? Cause I don't mind it on the google search--because that has become mostly a large billboard anyway-- and is only links, not content. I'm not sure-- I find it creepy on gmail that somehow google is privileged to know the content of my emails, and to invade what feels like my privacy.
Although text ads are the least problematic-- I really don't like them.
And even though it is intellectually understood that "Dr. Bob" doesn't think that FantasticProduct is especially pure, up to standards, etc-- I do think one unconsciously associates the quality of the site with the quality of the advertised product--which is in part why advertisers want it here.

Does your boss laugh everytime you ask for a raise? Start a home biz.
Ads by GoooooogleBy the way, that's what slowing down the site something awful is linked to by google. :)
Dr. Bob, do you think that that product will really build me a better nervous system? And can I really make a fortune working from home? It's like it was targeted just to me. Surely that means something important, don't you think?
How can I ignore such synchronicity?
It's positively spooky.

How about 'Ads do not imply endorsement it's just a way of making money'? I think that would fit along the width of the ad...
> On the link provided by Bob, I went to a page that had all the threads on one side, and then a comment by someone recommending inositol. I didn't see any ads.
They seem to be just on the bottom of the admin board.
> I'd also rather have some sort of donation procedure than use ads.You can donate already.

And surely Dr Bob wouldn't think FantasticProduct was going to be potentially harmful, or he wouldn't let FantasticProduct be advertised - would he?

Concentration Problems
It can really be improved Dare you not try?Yes, I f'ing dare.
I thought, when you asked opinions Dr Bob, it was clear *everyone* was against it (as far as I could see anyway)
Obviously you received alot fo support via babblemail, other wise I fail to understand where you saw support for this.
Did you know the ad's are even "country appropriate"..

Those two are popping up on everything for me, including the Admin board page.
Are we sure it's targeting the contents of the post?

I appreciate the work you do here and the money you put into this site. You deserve to be compensated. I think these ads are just going to take some getting used to. I just hope the ads are bringing in a lot of money.

Did you notice the ad for "Gated Texas Community" on our discussion of small boards and gated communities?
and Bipolar medicine and "diagnose yourself"-- on Alex's post. about bipolarity?
I don't know this seems a bit like potentially trouble
