We don’t all work in garages.

Ta.

the ads are based on your surfing habits, so no one to blame but yourself 😉

aren’t the ads mostly done by google and related to what your search history is? I have bike bits and deals in edinburgh….you have porn…hmmmmmmmmmmm

just make your STW window smaller

no adds on display – more discrete browsing

….

Premier account and no ads. Problem solved.

Ha, found you out then did they 🙂

I get adverts for restaurants in Oxfordshire.

gimp masks and olive oil over here 😳

Hey I get ads for Oxfordshire too!? And biking bits.
Mol gets female shoe ads… hmmm

I’ve got a World of Warcraft one 😕

Holidays for me, deffo no pr0n

Babywear for me!

goats and sub-aqua gear 😳

my city deal or something for mine.

Photomugs and bike parts…

I think I’d prefer the NSFW ones tbh…

I think I hear the powers that be frowning in your general direction.

If by the powers that be, you mean my wife then yes, you’re probably right.

Oh hang on you weren’t talking to me… 😉

The first rule of adblocking on stw is that you don’t talk about adblocking on stw.

(although by posting this I appear to be breaking the first rule, d’oh!)

The first rule of adblocking on stw is that you don’t talk about adblocking on stw

LOL. Funnily enough it wasn’t something I ever contemplated until the “new” site redesign, now though…..

Hey I get ads for Oxfordshire too!?

My dreams of being adopted by the Grips might be closer than I thought….

Kodak stuff for me.

I too get the Oxford ads.

Nokia Accessories…boring!

All you can eat restaurant in Birmingham here, I’ve never noticed any targeted advertisements based from browsing habits, guess it down to your IP provider, web browser ands choice of OS

Isn’t it strange how we’re not allowed to mention you know what 😉 , but we can openly discuss quidco ?

The OP didn’t come back on did he? 😆

My ads are mostly for all you can eat junk food – how do they know I’m a fat bast**d?

There are ads?

Ah yes, I see

Ads? No thanks… I occasionally buy the mag off the shelf…

The OP didn’t come back on did he?

Got sacked probably.

I had a slightly raunchy ad for World of Warcraft appear next to the forum earlier for some reason – I thought he was referring to that.

Are they really tailored? I’m not a gamer and have never searched on anything like that. All the other ads are bike related.

I’ve got an add for making a mug with a photo on it so I guess they must know I used Flickr a lot?

Some ads are targeted based on your browsing history but even then not in the way you think. We are running some retargeting ads at the moment as a trial. These work by remembering products on certain websites that you have looked at. Then when you visit us here you may be presented with either an ad for a better deal on what you have just been browsing or for similar items from that website. There’s a little ‘i’ in the corner of these ads and if you click that you can find out more about how they work and even opt out of the retargeting altogether.

Incidentally, the new site has fewer ads displayed on each page. Premier users get to turn off all but two ads in the RH column and the sponsor positions.

@Mark – I’ve got no ads at all. Zero. Not that I’m complaining!

There is a section headed Adverisment, but nothing it in.

I did see ad’s yesterday (JE James, CRC kinda stuff) but not today.

All mine are the-eat-all-you-can ones too. And hand on heart I can honestly say I surf waaaaay more pron than buffet restaurant websites?

Get your finger out google chrome!

Oh.

That is quite amusing.

Oops.

Or maybe I’m going to run away to Oxford… 😉 Depends on how much Mol is on here this weekend 😉 🙂
