Why is PF Promoting 'What the Bleep' Merchandise?

Why is PF promoting 'What the Bleep' merchandise at the top - including the books by the "water doctor" etc?

I believe that those are google ads and PF has no control over what pops up...

But I don't mind them since I just don't click them. After all, this website needs to make money, right?

Its google's ad system. It picks out relevant words from the forum and matches them with words in its advertising database to display "relevent" advertisements.

I think there is some way of reporting ones that you think are bad.

 

[Pengwuino]

Yah, greg says he can tell google to stop displaying certain ads.

Thanks pattylou, I forwarded the link to Greg.

Does nobody listen to my posts telling them how to disable the ads?

 

[wolram]

I have looked all over and can not see any adds

 

[iansmith]

Contributors don't see any ad. It is part of the perks you get when you pay.

Ha, I have made a few similar posts. I think that people don't take anything gd regulars say seriously

 

[JamesU]

us contributers can't see the ads. Greg can block the ads if you PM him about it.

 

[Huckleberry]

There are ads? Oh right, those things. Forgot they were even there.

 

[Optep]

what goona be a problem then if it is there?

 

[pattylou]

My concern isn't that *I* see the ads.

I don't really care if others see the ads, either. But the show was panned here, soundly and repeatedly, the water doctor's science seems awfully questionable, ... An ad selling his book seems about as reasonable as selling something promoting geocentrism... on the Physics Forums.

Does that not seem a bit out of place?

 

[cronxeh]

Dont see no ads, don't care. Support PF and you won't need to swear

 

[pattylou]

So it's all a stunt to get my money. Hmmm... I see.

Math. Math, my dear boy, is nothing more than the lesbian sister of biology.

Please explain.

Please explain.

Maybe this will intrigue you!

Firefox has an extention that can block specified web content, aka ads.

Big Brother has morphed into big business.
