Dena,
I'm not sure what you are talking about. I'm sure it has nothing to do with you.

Ad's these days are tailored to the user anyway, come to think of it. If you've just been searching for new shoes, every site that runs ad's will show you shoes.
You can also use something called No Scripts, which will stop adware running on all sites. It's a firefox add on. |

For a start it's ads - not ad's. There are more than one of them. See me later.
I'm sure there are loads of ways of turning off ads.
But the man who can who runs this site has to pay for it. And the ads help do this.

How do you think they do that? People have to click them and then buy something. Even worse using google that pays literally pennies. Don probably sees a cheque once a year for twenty quid. Rather than Google, Don should affiliate with Final Draft and anything else that writers use a lot. If he even got 10% of every sale of FD through this site, that would be around $25 a pop. Not just from members but from guests reading and following the link too. He still wouldn't make any money but it would be better than the joke that is google. And he'd have full control over the ad. Could be a pretty banner below the header. Then there are all the screenwriting comp's (oops)... there has to be a cut to be gained from that somewhere too. If Don was really interested in recouping expenditure he could do far better than using google. The only people that make real money from Google are professional bloggers, even then it's mere pocketmoney in comparison to the rest. |

Perhaps. But that'd be up to him. I'm sure he doesn't like the way you arrange your furniture. I know I don't. But he wouldn't come round and tell you how to run your house. Neither shall I. R |

Mate, you clearly have a low understanding of this type of thing. My comments are fair so you really don't need to stick up for Don. I'm sure he'll appreciate it though. |

Oh Dusty, the first bit about low understanding is leaning strongly towards insulting. But never mind. At least I know how to use my apostrophes. I don't need to stick up for Don. Just pointing out something. Enough said. R |
