WaiWai Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Recently I noticed Amazon.com ads appearing at the top of the page in General forum. They are meant to be there ? (I am logged in to Amazon - not related to that, is it ?) If they're meant to be there, how are the titles chosen -- fetish woman (whatever), fishnet costumes -- -- is that because it's a Thai forum or what ??

Because it recognizes your browsing habits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it recognizes your browsing habits. Ha ! ! What's on your screen, then ? I was wondering if it was picking up on topics on the forum, but there wasn't anything I could see that was even close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

george Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Contextual ads. No worries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaiWai Posted December 8, 2007 Author Share Posted December 8, 2007 (edited) Contextual ads. No worries. Seem to be the same ones most of the time, and not the kind of image I'd expect you'd wish linked to the forum though, George ? I'd expect people reading at work might feel a bit uncomfortable.

george Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 The Amazon campaign has now expired, so they wouldn't show up again for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkBKK Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 The Amazon campaign has now expired, so they wouldn't show up again for a while. Are the two ads for bypassing blocked sites (isn't this now a criminal offence in Thailand) also 'contextual'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Yes, they are indeed contextual, and we are looking into this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, likewise the dating sites showing images of near naked lasses, not so good when one works in an open office. Seems to contradict the image ThaiVisa is aiming at.
