Wolph, I'm guessing you're unaware of how the most common form of advertising works. I'm 99% sure that the only advertising on BuzzerBeater is via Google Adsense, and this would mean that BB do not negotiate with advert providers, nor have any say over what advertising goes up.
It's all Google.

It's inefficient - both capital-wise and as far as the adverts run - and lazy. But it does mean that the BBs don't have to do any work whatsoever to get a small amount of money trickling in from it. It also means that whatever advertising metric Google uses to determine what-ads-run-where make the decisions about the advertising. Quite simply: it's outta their hands.

Americans have trouble understanding time and place. tact.


Like when and where to buy used underage girls underwear? Out of a vending machine?

Or do I need to provide a link. Please don't confuse America with being brash to this. Americans (unfortunately) flip out over seeing a nipple or buttocks on tv.

I'm not saying lets have porn everywhere. Thats hardly what I mean. I mean that dating sites, and the Envoy (or whatever its called) game site are hardly raunchy.

Persoanally I hate seeing religious crap everywhere I go, but I don't post how offended I am about it.

I was told (or read somewhere), that they (the company that pays BB) use a type of tracking ad software based on the websites you have visited to target prospective buyers.

I do believe their is some truth to it. I know I get Frederick's of Hollywood emails, and after I visited their website, I've seen more of their ads on BB. The same thing with Newegg.com

WHy all this raunchy stuff. Is this the future of BB? Is this the company you keep?

The BBs do not exactly pick the ads, they are force-fed by the companies that provide the ad deals. That is how the web advertising generally works (or doesn't work, methinks). If there are offensive ads, there is a BB you can inform about it (I think it is Edju, but I may be wrong). They do their best to block unwanted stuff like sites that have malware. I don't know where the line is drawn regarding scantily dressed ladies, but certainly it is not a BB goal to put as many of those ads on your screen as possible.

I was complaining about those mailorder bride-websites a long time ago, I thinks those ads are racist and absolutely inapropriate for a game like BB.

This is untrue. A site this size should be doing their own negotiating for web advertising. Using something akin to adsense is unprofitable, and non-negotiable.

mostly you sell advertising package, since there are more profitable since they make ad who are disered by the surfer - so that they generate more money for both sides. Both normally you can say we don't want to have this or this advertisement on our site, in sending them a mail or using a web formular.

I am quite sure a BB will take a look at those ads soon.
