Big ad opens whenever I try to read - WTF???

Post Reply New Topic

I feel stupid for inserting myself in this conversation. ......but I noticed that since I posted the "Ad" topic yesterday, I have not seen any ads. I've not done anything to my computer...so I don't know.

It's probably a coincidence.

As far as what types of ads I get (it was mentioned by others), the one I got most frequently was "classmates". I unfortunately signed up a while ago and can't seem to figure out how to deactivate my account. I've never heard of a "zwinky" lol. I'll have to look.

Why, thank you, Alex! Really, though, I only even mentioned it because I was concerned I might have been seeing symptoms of another browser-hijack attempt on my computer - ever since we sent it back to Fujitsu for repairs, it's been buggier than Louisiana in August. (I was caused to laugh by the classmates.com ad, though - talk about the wrong audience for your product!)

guesswhatguesswhatGUESSWHAT! I disabled the adblocker, and then I actually saw an ad that I wanted to follow! It was for netflix and me and Kris keep talking about maybe getting a netflix account 'cause we don't have a TV set up so we can't really watch regular TV. And then bam! There's an ad for it! And I got to click on an ad for something that was actually interesting!

Edit: does WP actually get something for the advertising working, or just for the clicks? Like, do they pay more for me having signed up for netflix, or is it the same as if I just clicked and didn't sign up?

Thanks Alex
