Funny inappropriate ads on SBG forums. :)
« on: July 30, 2009, 07:13:43 PM »
I actually looked at some of the ads while perusing the forums.  I found it somewhat ironic and funny that two in a row were "regrow your hair in 30 days" and "Look younger with fuller hair."  Hilarious!  (ads pasted below)

I've noticed these too.  I saw one ad for Procerin.  Yeah, that stuff sucks.  I tried it before I accepted my MPB.  It did nothing.  NOTHING. 

These ads make me laugh though.  Quite ironic and they're probably targeting the wrong audience.  (Just a hunch.)   ;D

Yeah, nearly everyday I go into Google and add these to the "Do not show" list, yet the advertisers will keep changing the url so they can try to run them here.  What's funny is that they are actually targeting SlyBaldGuys.com.  I guess it's the downfall to being ranked so high when you search for "bald" in Google.

I would think that might take revenue away from you due to the low rate of click-throughs on them by most people who visit.

Wow, I guess I've become so skilled at NOT reading ads that I have never noticed any of these before. Not totally sure how they get on here without going through Tyler??

Actually, they bid WAY higher than any other company that gets placed through Google so if someone does click on them it's usually a good chunk of revenue, but I still try to delete them as soon as possible.    For some reason I can't get rid of the "Fuller Hair" ad.  ARRRGH!

Most of the ads are directly placed through me.  Though, if I have any leftover inventory, which there usually is a lot of, I let Google run ads.  The problem is that they usually focus on the keyword "bald" versus something like "shaving" since companies pay more money for the keyword "bald."

Loved the Philips Norelco ad.  They don't mention heads or faces, but they get everywhere else.  Hilarious!  http://www.shaveeverywhere.com/index_bg.html
