Hi Rick,
I hope you and everyone else had a great weekend.
The google ads "try" to be relevant to the content on the page.
If you look in threads in the roofing or plumbing or other specific sections you will see that google tries to pull up related information. In the General Chit Chat or with non specific post is just sees stuff about home inspection and serves up those links.
Periodically I do add the inspectors sites to the "don't show list" but this is an on going process as more and more inspectors use google ads.
As far as
Its just seems the board is getting cluttered up with all the "Google" ads throughout the posts.
It hasn't changed. They only appear after the first post and the last post in a thread (or once more if there is over 25 replies to one thread).
Since this process helps to keep the board free I would hope that people would like to follow through on some of the links that are relevant to the thread.
It's always a work in progress and one option down the road may allow you to turn off the ads with a donation to the board. We'll see.
A big thanks to all of you who post regularly and the many many others who just come in to read.
Please let the sponsors know you see their banners here and follow through on some of the relevant links.
