I have never noticed them before till you pointed them out Sandy, so I guess they aren't effective as advertisements. ;D

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!!

What most people forget is that without advertising we probably wouldn't be wasting so much of the worlds resources  ;)
