Paid Membership......yup, prolly why I don't see the ads! Actually, I forgot all about the ads til you brought it up.

I'm waiting for the ads showcasing tours in Newfoundland to go and bag your own baby seal!

The ads here are obviously geared for the motorcycle crowd witch by default will be mostly male, but also the ads use a sort of spyware cookie system if you visit a site like etrailer.com after going there you will start to notice banner ads for etrailer everywhere you go. the system reads your cookies and if you visited one of its clients it puts up a banner ad for them.

Not saying you when to this site in question, but you probably visited a site linked in someway to that site or at least to the same cookieware system. You can try to delete all your cookies and temp int. files but unless you delete all form data and every fingerprint you have ever left it will probably not clear it all.

I get completely different banner ads between my work computer and my home computer, but I have to say I haven't noticed any "sex" banners either place. I'll have to keep a weather eye out for anything that pops up.

FORGOT: The I in the lower corner is your clue of a tracking cookie ad, I have a blue triangle in the corner of my ads on this site those come courtesy of Ad Choices. Currently its a hunting ad for an outdoor store that I looked a price up on once.

In any event, its a link, a banner add. Of no consequence. No clickie ...

I use Google Chrome with the Adblock Plus extension. No ads. I also have the Opt Out extension.

IE8 is great if you want a hijacker, spambot or a virus to get on your computer.
