Just been looking at the posts and am still amazed at the adverts at the bottom of posts so, I wondered what advert this title would trigger off?
sorry!

;D ;D ;D ::) :-[

I have never noticed them before till you pointed them out Sandy, so I guess they aren't effective as advertisements. ;D
-
THe joke WIzard posted resulted in an add about cold storage :D

Seems you have confused them Sandy

Hello H.M. Seems to me things after dog and money people would rather avoid Me I don't have a dog and have no worries on the rest certainly not men.Don't like em Fried Boilt or Fricasseed ;D ;D:farmer:

This is indeed an interesting thread!!
I had never noticed the adverts before (i've jsut checked 2 other forums i use - AND THEY HAVE ADS TOO!!!!!)
I wonder if the constant bombardment of ads - especially on t'interweb - is leading to a new style of "comprehension"
for example - when radio ads come on, i "zone out" and if you asked me 30seconds later what adverts had been on, i couldn't tell you. Also, i am able to sing along a radio ad jingle, but not tell you what it is for - so i know the tune, but not the company or product.
When I scan newspapers, i automatically block out the adverts - rarely looking at them (except where i am specifically looking for a certain type of advert in a publication that may have one)
i use adblocker on my web browser which cuts out loads of ads, but i still use gmail and a few forums where ads like this appear. but i never look at them (though i did look at these ones because of the nature of the topic - and funnily enough, the GM one is useful to me!)
I wonder if people are becoming better at ignoring ads to focus on content - leading me to wonder what the future of advertising is?
Considering you get ads on supermarket FLOORS, the backs of airplane seats, in taxis (they even have videos ones) at petrol pumps etc etc etc - it seems every space, sound, sight, experience has us bombarded with information overload on adverts and we could just be starting to block them out automatically
thoughts? or is it just me not paying attention?

It is very easy to subliminary put thoughts into someones mind,I remember an illutionist showing how to do it, you actualy do not realise all the time just what you are taking in. I am not a traditional comsummer type but I still look for familiar stuff while shopping, some adverts do encourage me to buy things. I do not watch too much TV (on here all the time!) but the TV programmes I watch actualy effect my life, give me inspiration etc I think advertisments are getting very clever, some art in themselves.

guys, you need to use firefox as your web browser and then download adblock plus. No more subliminal messages! yippee
-
Daft I Know but I automatically press the mute button when the ads come on T.V. I can't stand the ROW and they are mostly puerile anyway.
-
Like Oink, I have Firefox so wondered what this was all about.

What most people forget is that without advertising - many forums and websites like this one would simply not be able to exist.
Servers, security, backups, bandwidth, time, upgrades - they all cost money.
Plus unlike the TV and radio - 'push' advertising model - contextual advertising does not interrupt your 'browsing' experience, infact sometimes it enhances it by supplying you with relevant ads fitting the content of the page. It also more importantly produces a revenue stream to help towards the cost of the service, forum or website your using.
There is nothing subliminal about this form of internet advertising - if your not interested in the ad then dont click it. Simplz.
As someone whos livelihood revolves around affiliate marketing I can tell you that hundred and thousands of jobs revolve around the internet marketing/advertising industry and if everyone turn ads off - half the internet would disappear over night!!

OK, point taken, they're back on, I'll just igore them as I did before ;)
-
What most people forget is that without advertising we probably wouldn't be wasting so much of the worlds resources ;)
-
I think I am influenced more by TV programmes..... ::)and of course what deals are in the shops, thats including clothing, I must add, I buy/aquire, most of my things from used sources, second hand shops, freecycle etc, although I hate the cheese advert that shows people going homne to cheese on toast...I always fancy some and I am on a diet :)
-
Don't agree Sandy "What sort of cheese was that"? ;D ;D :farmer:
-
Not sure now so the advert just made me want cheese rather than a particular sort, I think it was Catherdral? I love Leicester Red and Stilton ummmmmmmmm, dare NOT talk about cheese any more as it is something that tempts me.
-
Sorry Sandy you missed that one An elderly couple at a Theme Park sit to have a cheese sandwich They didn't realise they were in a modern roller coaster after the ride ended they walk away and he asks her What sort of cheese was that? I think its a good fun add.You know I'm not a lover of Pasta meals but on the odd occasion I make a maccaroni cheese for tea.I have not found a cheese I dont like but Red Liester is a,no is a lot bland If I could afford it I would always have some Roqueforte in the fridge UM UM yum.
-
Sandy mix up some mature stilton with a fork untill its creamy and add some good not so sweet port, mix well untill all blended. Store in a steralised jam jar and leave a few months in the fridge then have with biscuits or toast. Oh so yummy! ;D
-
Not tried that Jackie but I think any cheese on toast is good I don't use green cheese though I like the stronger sorts of cheese.I know its crap but just on the odd occasion I buy a slice of those sausage shaped ones called Austrian Smoked and eat it like a chocolate sweet.No bread nothing just the cheese.I am NOT promoting It just telling you ;D ;D :farmer:

Sure is - even having a puppy again 4 years after the last one is all new. How on earth will I survive this? Every time he hits the door I have to believe him, get my jacket and shoes on and take him outside, if I think he's just bluffing sure as fate he does a wee. He's destroying anything he can find lying around, rolling around the floor, barking at poor Freckles in her cage, paddling in his water bowl, humping my coffee table........................... aaaaarrrrrrrggggggghhhhhhhh!!!!!!!! Where's my straitjacket? ::)

Ok, so I want to see a new post!! and the adverts!
