As hinted at by other posters in the thread... the ads you get on BB are 100% based on your browsing history, and not specific to BB's site. I definitely never get those ads on my work computer, but rather a bunch of stuff about Adobe Creative Suite products and similar, since that's the sort of thing I browse at work. There are several other sites I visit that also use Google AdSense or similar, and I get the same ads on those sites as I get on BB, regardless of which computer I'm on (that is, on computer A, I get one set of sites on BB & the other AdSense sites I visit; on computer B, I get a second set, but the sets are the same on the same computer).

So, basically, it's not BB's advertising, it's your (computer's) browsing history...

What are you even talking about. Several people have verified, that adsense does, in fact, work the way I said, I thought it did. Yet you say we are all wrong.

Whatever.

Stay in your other reality.

A. I'm not defending the web advertisers. Just stating how they work.

B. You admit you do go gaming on your work computer. So you game advertisements. Just so happens, that maybe the most advertised game, uses ads with lots of cleavage and suggestive innuendos. That doesn't mean you had to have porn on your browsing history to see these types of ads.

C. Someone in your office, may visit a dating site, so then again you get a popular advertisement that uses lewd/suggestive ads. Again it doesn't mean you've been looking at porn.

Thats all I'm saying. I'm not defending anyone or attacking anyone.
