False Advertising on this site!
« on: Feb 18, 2006, 05:17 PM »
The find Sex offenders in your area on the top of this page is false advertising. They just want to sell something, get all kinds of personal info, and when you get to the end it says this page cannot be shown. It's a shame crap like this is on this site. I'm really disappointed.
I live in the midwest now but have fond memories of fishing in New England as a kid.

Ads are targeted by keywords. Out of my control, although I can block inappropriate ads. Next time message me the url of the site in question.



Thanks,

I get a kick out of how the advertisers pick up on key words.  When Iceshanty crashed for a short time and everyone was worried about not being able to feed their addiction the banner ads were advertising rehab centers.  That cracked me up.

Someone please block the free 100 dollars of fishing gear- its just a ploy to get your email address, home address, and social security number....

I bet they sell all of that stuff

NickP,
Just don't give them that info. It's a common practice on the internet. If you want free stuff, they're gonna collect your information.....

Oh ive done it with bogus info then you get a big error at the end and dont get anything- or my favorite which is the complete 2 out of the 20 items listed- like subscirbe to Directv or anythign else that you allready have- Im sure they get a percentage of what the ditrectv company gets paid just cuz it was through there site.
