Indeed. We don't really have much advertising (one banner on the forum for logged in users) compared to 99% of cycling websites. Anyhow without the ads no site.

Some of the adverts are placed by google and are relevant to the content on the site. Most seem to be about right, i.e. cycling based. We do get the odd 'plentyofxyz' advert, maybe google thinks we're all sad men in need of women (or whatever) - how on earth would they get that idea :?

Just ignore them.

Actually it's best not to ignore them altogether....

My word.

..a bunch of blokes of 'a certain age' who are either in their sheds on their own or are all sat on the internet looking a photos of other peoples rides rather than having a real life? Can't think where google got the idea from!

the hilarious thing is that no matter what people think, google have a fantastic demographic advertising selection system and do choose very well... in any case I can live with the ads if I want to live with the site!

I'm finding it difficult to reply to some of the comments. If i did then i would just sound churlish!


I really hate the idea of advertising on forums as i have seen how it can start a downward spiral. I would much rather have to subscribe than put up with adverts. I am aware that economics dictate the way this forum will have to change,although it's not for the better in my mind.

Ho Hum!

Al,

I understand al. But i'm sure John wont let it get out of hand like on the American cycling site.
Only time will tell. And the success of this site.
