Anyone else suddenly getting this "yellow teeth" ad here on mingle which does NOT go away when clicking the "X"? It stays right there. One either has to click for more info {uh, no thanks) or you are S outta luck and have to log back in and do a work around.

Perhaps its just on my end but its annoying as F and I don't see how it helps Mingle to effectively BLOCK someone from getting to their site.

I'm on a computer I never see Ads I put AdBlockerPlus in place and never see an Add..

Not that hard to ..

Besides Mingle2 is not putting those Ads out there it is Google... They pay to place Ads..

Download an Ad Blocker and you will not see them..:wink:

Thanks. Might have been some type of glitch as its back to "normal" again where one can just click out of it. :)

Maybe a dumb question but why would google PAY to place ads? I was under the assumption google made their money by RECEIVING money from advertisers. Or maybe that's kind of what you meant in a round-about way, i.e...advertiser pays google, then google places the ad???

I think the arrangement is such that if mingle2 is a Google partner website, then it displays adverts on behalf of Google and receives a share of advertisement revenue paid by third-party advertisers every time someone clicks on them.

Almost every site you go to Google has all these companies that will pay to Advertise therefore they contact sites that allow ads and pay them a percent in order to Advertise on their Platform.. Even the ads you see on FB those are all from Google Ads. Customer pays Google gets their Ads out there by controlling the Ads they Advertise. Goggle then pays sites so much to let them Advertise.. This is one of the ways that Sites make their money ..

Sites can not run on paid memberships alone.. This way they get paid and and they can pay their employees.. Sites such as this have several behind the scene which they pay to work for them.. Only thing Volunteer here at one time was Mods.. All upper Admin are Paid..
