1. But it COSTS HER MONEY every time someone clicks on one!!

I'm clicking on all of them. As many times as I can.

[Ioo]

5. And DU makes a little cash

[IndyOp]

8. The Admins say that clicking ads over and over won't support DU

From one of the 3 Admin posts on the latest page about the ads:

5. Feel free to click on ads which interest you, but don't be fooled into thinking that you can support DU by running all over the page clicking ads over and over again: first, it will artificially inflate our CPM rate so we won't get an accurate idea of how much money we can raise through the ads, and second, Google considers this kind of behavior to be fraudulent. So even though the ads are new, please treat them as you would on any other site.

[Redstone]

9. Well, booger.

Redstone

[Ioo]

15. I click once, not over and over.... if we call click once,

then DU will make the cash, your IP is captured and the second click is not paid...

[Redstone]

17. Thanks for the tip. I'll remember that.

2. Actually you should click on them.

The advertiser gets charged and DU makes money.

[babylonsister]

3. I think you must have a secret crush on her because you

keep posting about her! :crazy:

[Ioo]

4. JESUS - Get the hell over it.. you posted this bitch once...

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=364&topic_id=1292906&mesg_id=1292906

We here you, it is Ann fucking Coulter not hurting you... Dude ignore them and move on....

[annabanana]

6. STOP TYPING HER NAME IN THERE!!

And the machine will stop thinking that we want to know more about her. The ads are picked by the text in the threads...

Every time you put her name in here, the more likely it is that we'll have to look at her ads..

[Orsino]

12. Or perhaps the admins would consider...

...not turning over the site to a stupid advertising bot that repeats every proper noun back at us?

If Coulter can't be discussed without advertising her product to every visitor to the site, it's time to reconsider what DU is supposed to accomplish.

[annabanana]

19. Surely the clever & witty among us can come up with a catchy

nickname.
(Everybody knows tweety's moniker, so no one needs to use it)

[Orsino]

20. Or, again, an admin or two could save tens of thousands...

...the trouble of posting in code.

The Coulter ads are only appearing because DU is now connected to a dumb bot. That connection could be severed, but won't be, I fear.

Money. It's an old, old story.

[mcscajun]

25. Hmm...with all the Tweety references...

...where are the Looney Tunes/Warner Brothers ads?

:bounce:

Firefox+Adblock+Add 'google' = No Google Ads, ANYwhere, not just on DU. :)

7. Does Big Bad Ann Coulter Scare You?

Jeez, Dude! It is not like she is going to jump out of the computer and stick a probe in your head.

What difference does it make? It makes Skinner a few buck and we get to keep this FREE site.

It is Skinner's site, isn't it?

What do the Ann Coulter ads keep you from doing on here?

If Skinner see this as a good idea, I hope it works out for him.

[Clark2008]

10. I don't know about that...

"It is not like she is going to jump out of the computer and stick a probe in your head..."

She may very well do that - she's certainly thin enough to fit through the fiber optic lines.

:rofl:

[Scoody Boo]

13. She has to run around in the shower to get wet. n/t

[spag68]

21. Ann

has given the military a new stealth method by turning sideways and becoming invisible.

[Clark2008]

22. When she turned around sideways in class, the teacher

always marked her absent.

[SeveneightyWhoa]

26. The fact that people here fear the mere thought of an Ann Coulter ad..

..on their beloved website is a great demonstration of how successful Ms. Coulter has been at marketing her hatred. If only one of us could be so good at doing the same to the other side.

[IndyOp]

11. Dude: They can filter ads from URLs, but only after they see them...

From one of the 3 admin posts on the latest page...

4. WE KNOW THAT THERE WILL BE ADS FOR CAUSES YOU MAY NOT WANT TO SEE. This is very important. We can filter ads from certain URLs but only after we see them, and it takes a few hours for the filters to take effect. So please don't start a brazillion threads complaining about all the ads you don't want to see. We'll take care of them as they come up.


Also - I use Firefox and successfully installed 'adblock' this afternoon - so I am not seeing any Google ads at all - no banners, no nothing...

Here are the instructions I followed - from Unhappycamper...

[necso]

14. I'm not seeing any ads for her,

not now certainly, and I don't remember any.

...

Ooh, just got my first (that I remember seeing, anyway -- I've been kinda keeping an eye out since your first -- which I also clicked on.)

[pepperbear]

16. as long as miss thing doesn't get to make content or editorial

decisions, I say charge that loathsome beeatch.

[svpadgham]

18. The only ads

I noticed were for pink floyd stuff, and some free ringtones. Pretty odd because I don't need any pink floyd shit (being that they get almost nonstop airplay) and I don't own a cellphone

[SeveneightyWhoa]

23. Imagine this situation:

You stumble into FreeRepublic.

They've just started running Google Ads. A new thread emerges, with the initial post saying, "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!! I KNEW THIS WOULD HAPPEN. The advertisiers are hawking LIEBERAL shit here1 Get rid of these ads!!! No more liberal demoscum shit here!!!"

Another poster chimes in: "JimRob, SHUT 'ER DOWN! Get to work, get rid of these communist ads, I IMPLORE YOU!!!"

Would you nod in agreement with such childish, closeminded immaturity? Or would you laugh and mock such idiocy?

[Generator]

24. I agree with you

It seems everything is headed in the same direction of banality. Ann Coulter ads on DU-and then I get to be told by the same DLC loving, Democrat appologists how great it all is. Love it or leave it. Soon we will all be singing the same song.
