Advertisements on myLot...   email this discussion to a friend?

It has been said that people mind advertising a lot less when it is relevant to their wants, needs and interests...
It seems like myLot does a pretty good job of making sure that its advertisements are related to our interests...
At least the ones that are interspersed throughout the site are....

I will not say as much about the annoying banners which are so loud that they cause my startle reflex to go into full gear and me to jump up off my seat like a large jack in the box.

What do you think about the advertising on myLot... Do you find that most of it is relevant to your interests or to the discussions being posted?
Do you like it being more tailored to you than it is at some other sites?
Does having the banner advertisements with sound act as a turn off to you like it does me... making you not want to see more information about the product or to use their products?

It doesn't bother me at all, since mylot said that these is where they mostly generate the income they pay for us. I think the one's that annoy and bothers me are those flashing ads above the discussions bar, especially those blinking ads that says "you won!"

I also don't click on any of it, I just leave those stuff who are interested in it and move on..

The ones that have been annoying me are the ones that make sounds... It seems like the ones that just flash, although they are annoying, do not have the same impact on me. Thanks for posting.

I like most of the adds and the flashy ones dont bother me but I only click on ones that I might be interested it.

I also really hate the ads with sound. I have only seen a couple of them on Mylot, and I usually refresh the page to make the ad change.

I have noticed lately that the ads are almost creepy in how relevant some of them are, particularly the text ads. The ones that do not pertain to the discussions themselves, seem to be relevant to me, and it just dawned on me yesterday that they must be using cookies to track websites we visit. I had previously assumed they were based on the text or information in our profiles. But I keep seeing ads for an obscure web site for job searching in my particular industry. I have used that site previously, (a friend had told me about it) and I think Mylot knows this! I deleted all my cookies last night though, and somehow the ad is back!

It is indeed creepy sometimes to see how relevant the ads are and it does not just seem to be websites that it is relevant too but phone calls and conversations too.... One wonders if it is indeed tailored or if we just notice that which is relevant to us.
