Shame on you Phil...

 

Yeah, Miatas are cool. I think if you use the plural form of Miata, then it may help get those pages where they use only Miatas and not Miata.

 

Guys, just use Firefox and install the free AdBlock extension. Block the scripts that write the ads and they vanish forever. For Google's ads you just block:

http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/ (for now)
or *.googlesyndication.* (for the whole domain)

I'm a lifetime gold member so I don't see any new ads but I'm sure any ad system can be blocked with wildcards (the alternative is that every client webserver use server-side script and database calls back to the adservers to generate the ad code for every page they serve -- that ain't gonna happen, too much unneeded overhead).

 

flitcroft...

thanks for the suggestion, but by choice (and by deliberate purpose), i don't choose to become a member. it's not a $20 thing, but is instead a matter of personal principle...

so, believe it or not, i am actually choosing the advertising route, therefore i accept that advertisements are a requirement. when they get too annoying (and they are definitely getting there), i will pay to have them removed. until then -- i live with them and use them when appropriate.


taking note of my Miata effort and the Miata related results, which Incubus has kindly chosen to support... we are now 5 of 9 for Miata advertisements for the non-sponsor areas on this page with 2 for s u p e r c h a r g e r s and 2 for S 2 0 0 0. thus, my evil Miata efforts to convert this entire page to Miata advertisement is slowly but steadily working.

John? are you going to get me in trouble for my evil Miata madness?

 

on a page refresh, the bottom single banner Google advert converted to a group of ads and are all Miata based. so, that makes it 8 for 12 Miata.

 

Is this thread really electronic based???

Miata, Miata, Miata, MX5, opps i mean Miata.
