fyi- Some APUG Advertising Changes..

[David A. Goldfarb]

This is amusing. When I go to my Private Messages page, I get google ads for a private school for troubled teens, a private villa in Costa del Sol, another private school for children with learning difficulties, and a villa in Taormina with a private swimming pool.

Thanks for the heads up, I've removed them from the private message area..

Sean,

Looking good now.

Your "refinements" seem to be working.

While writing this post the page bottom has four Google ads - three of which were film-related (including one for "school photo supplies" that was for film and paper and two for buying film on-line). The only "odd ball" was for B&W copiers - which is not an unreasonable "hit".

The Google ads in the classifieds section also seem not to be appropriate--mostly ads for other classified ad venues. Maybe that's another spot where they could be eliminated.

Sean, I just noticed that unlike all other off-site links, the links in google ads do not target a separate browser window and obliterate APUG when I click on them. Should they be behaving this way?
