Ads appearing all over the place... (Page 1/4)
Cliff Pennock FEB 19, 11:18 AM
Just for testing, I enabled "Auto Ads" for the Google ads that I use on PFF. Boy was that a mistake. Google inserted ads in the weirdest of places like in the middle of posts. I've disabled Auto Ads completely but the ads are still showing up. I'm not sure if it takes a while for the Auto Ads to be disabled, or that something is wrong and it is still enabled. I'll wait and see.

In the mean time, my apologies for all the weirdly placed ads.

I am experimenting with ad placement and such. So please, any feedback (like where you don't want to see them and where you don't mind seeing them) is very much appreciated!

Probably adversely affects people with cellphones more than those of us with a big screen.
I don't care where they show up.

The mobile version shows completely different ads.

the locations showing now are pretty good (under the first post, and the header and footer of the comments section)

If the ads help the site who cares where they appear

They are a little large and did surprise me at first. If they only remain after the first post, it's something that I can get used to. Just wouldn't be a fan if they were after every other comment.

Ok....Cliff, I woke this morning, looked in the mirror and saw this;




Talk about ads in the weirdest places- You did disable the ads so when will this go away...?

We know that ads are needed to generate revenue and that one column of ads that we see on the side is not a distraction, but when adds start popping up in the middle of a thread that's annoying, and will reduce the hits on the site. Good job keeping them limited.

Sorry, I enabled the "in your face" ads. Not at all what I expected. I'll disable them.
