New doom ads.... Ehhhh

Gu-X · March 12th, 2005, 09:35 PM

I've noticed over time the rather fishy advertisement that constantly changes here at new doom: here were some observations:

Doom 4
Doom 4 for sale. aff Check out the deals now!

Free Doom 3 for PC
Fast and Easy. Why Pay? Guaranteed and Free Shipping.

Doom 3 for PC
1-Day Online Promotion Get Doom 3 for Free!

Now thay've been offering this "Free" doom 3 since I got here half a year ago, thats one hell of a one day online promotion, and aparantly Doom 4 is in stores now, not only that but on SALE.

(Edit

Some more I found!:

Raver Love
Raver cuties found here. Set up a free profile with pics

Password Finder $39.95
Record their online activity. Track IM conversations & get passwords.

My god! not only can we fall in love on some scary place but spy and steal credit card numbers with passwords too! SAVE ME...

These advertisments make me come to one conclusion; THEY ARE EVIL.

Thank you. Good day.

Hm, huh? Wha...?

Did you say "Raver Cutie"? *confused* Well I want some raver love. *sad puppy dog eyes*

LOL You missed the pistol mouse for FPS games.

Yeah, Google makes a lot of money off weird ads from people with suspicious companies. Those free gift ones always make you do something annoying or sign up a whole load of people to get something.

You should have seen my friend's forums. The banners were advertizing Russian brides so we went for a look-see. We found one of the cutes from LOTR!

EDIT: After surfing around the boards a bit I noticed there's quite a range of things advertized: security software, programming tools, e-commerce site templates, game forums, motherboards, etc. The ads are keyword based. When I was in a tech support thread about graphics flickering I got the motherboard ad. The guy who made the thread posted a lot of specs.

Google is smart.

Who wants to scan for MyDoom and kill it when found?

PumpkinSmasher · March 13th, 2005, 04:39 AM

I never really paid any attention to the advertisements.

Falci · March 13th, 2005, 09:26 AM

Yeah... it's fun to look at all the crapy things they try to push us...

lol I don't know about that. Sounds dodgy.

MR_ROCKET · March 13th, 2005, 12:12 PM

I never notice them either, there is something up there -rubs eyes. just like every other message board.
anyways, ads by google must be part of the package when you use vbulletin message boards.

Harry · March 13th, 2005, 12:29 PM

Heh, I adblocked google adverts a long time ago

DoomedAce · March 13th, 2005, 04:56 PM

I never really paid attention to those. I guess I'm so much used to ads that they simply go past me.
