lol @ CC's advertisements

<p>University of Phoenix? Teeth whitening? They don't seem to be addressed to the right crowd..</p>

<p>it's all about the impressions, baby...</p>

<p>Some of the advertisements on our beloved site are just plain god awful. Why do we constantly get bombarded by terrible online colleges? Don't they realize that the majority of people on this site are interested in the Ivy League universities/Top tier LAC's? I can see it now - "Well, I couldn't get into Yale/Harvard/Amherst/Williams. I guess I will go to UPhoenix or this fancy SBB College that CC keeps showing me."</p>

<p>I don't see CC advertisements.</p>

<p>Firefox + AdBlock Plus FTW!</p>

<p>IE rules, Firefox FTL</p>

<p>Why do ppl even bother looking at the ads...</p>

<p>Complete and utter blasphemy. I could understand if you said Chrome or Opera, but IE? No tech savvy person worth his/her salt uses that failure of a browser unless forced to.</p>

<p>I'm not worth my salt :(</p>

<p>Eww I hate IE soooooo much. Go Firefox!</p>

<p>Haha, I'm using firefox too.</p>

<p>Google Ads are picked based on what appears on the page (keywords taken from text on the page). So a topic with the word "baseball" in it should theoretically yield ads centered on baseball.</p>

<p>Current Google ads:</p>

<p>They've certainly hit their target audience.</p>

<p>I don't think top universities have to advertise at all. They sell themselves. Anyways, it's advertisement...I'm sure its a substantial amount of CC's income, which allows this amazing forum to continue running. </p>

<p>Pretty ironic though.</p>
