The one in Particular at the moment is "The worlds most beautiful twins" and a photograph of a pair of 6 year old girls in make-up and hair styled. Does anyone else think this kind of thing is extremely dubious in nature ? Are adults meant to be enticed into clicking on the advert to see what it reveals ? A pair of 6 year olds are said to be 'beautiful'. Just doesn't sit right with me. * incidentally, I know HOL has limited input into specific adverts as they come as part of a package. EDIT, see the attached Edited by Forest Hillbilly (27 Feb 2023 9.39am) Attachment**: ADVERT beautiful twins.pdf (200.39Kb) "The facts have changed", Rishi Sunak

I have alerted the Webmaster to this problem to see if anything can be done to exclude such posts. A stairway to Heaven and a Highway to Hell give some indication of expected traffic numbers

Mine are almost always related to my search history. Usually for online shopping- clothes, cars or holidays. I can literally go on Thomas Cook or something and it’s all I’ll see for the next fortnight. As for FH OP, I know the advert you’re talking about as I see it often. It is one of a few which I think are prominent amongst those ‘women’s magazines’ type of lures you might click on if literally nothing better to do and takes you onto a dodgy site which is waiting for you to click on something that looks like news or whatever but you don’t realise is actually a link. I don’t think it’s too particular to any individual algorithms or sites and o guess that’s due to its success. They all fall into background for me now as I’m so used to them. Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!
