How come they're all curebie? I mean, I make a post about how wonderful it is to be on the spectrum, and the ad is for residential treatment? Seriously? I think I even saw an ad for Autism Speaks. Does that mean they're giving us funding?

google ads does that, they take words from the page and plug them into their matrix, type in autism and autism speaks comes up.

a while back i saw an ad that wanted to sell me aspergers syndrome!

How comes I get ads about Sky broadband and this lupus woman? (even though I never typed anything autism on the page).

I don't know if that's better or worse than trying to sell me NT, which is what all the curebie ads are doing.

...What was the price? Was it new or used?

I got diet adds all the time.... Blocking the adds is not that good because when clicked they provide funds for the website.... So the adds are needed to keep it free of charge.

I do the same with my own website. I do not show adds because i like them, but because they will (hopefully) pay me the website bills and keep my software available for free. With a bandwidth use of over 8 GB each day I really can use that money...

Firefox + Adblock Plus will solve the problem. It's been a long time since I saw one of those "sexy flat stomach" ads

Used NT brain only $375,000 on overstock.com. Financing is available for those who qualify (yeah right) $1,100 a month with a 375% APR for the first 27,000 years, then 500% thereafter.

I see those stupid diet ads, as well. If I was interested in going on a diet, I'd go on one. :roll:
