Its me, they're targeting me. I was buying "whole grain" hard taco shells for the longest time until the competitor put "as always, whole grain." At which point I realized a taco shell box was calling me an idiot because there isn't such a thing as cornmeal that isn't whole grain.

This is also a marketing thing in Canada, where hormones in beef are also illegal; I think it has more to do with American health and safety discussions leaking into the rest of the English-speaking world's conversations than anything.

Arbitrary Number posted:Advertisers pay Google per click. https://www.google.ca/adwords/ The reason they ban weird activity is because they want to assure their customers that they aren't paying for bot clicks or something. Being banned from adsense with no way of appealing is dumb yes, but it's not like the whole system is based on moon logic. There are two types of ads in Adsense, basically: ads that pay by click, and ads that pay by number of impressions. I run a forum that uses Adsense ads to basically pay the hosting bill, and it's worked well so far. Google seems to know what my site's niche is (travel/vacations), and I don't allow certain categories of ads on my site at all, so no weight-loss or car insurance "One Weird Trick!!!one!1" ads. I can tell, usually, when a per-click ad has paid off- they usually give a cut if (for example) I run an ad for a travel agency that receives a travel reservation from someone clicking on their ad on my site- that is actually a nice little $20 or so bump in the daily take. But that's very much few and far between. Last year, I had one day show up in my reports that I'd earned $1500 in a single day, apparently because someone decided to click a bunch of ads on my site or something, I'm not sure. (That amount is an order of magnitude more that what the site earns in a month.) Whatever it was, it never happened again, and when my check came for that month, it wasn't included. I'm pretty sure they just saw it as an outlier and threw it out, which is fine with me if the alternative is kicking me out of Adsense altogether. I still don't know why it happened to this day.

I successfully got an Adsense account for my Youtube channel a few years ago, but never really did anything with it. Forgot about the whole thing. Now I've started a website, and tried to get adsense set up on that, but was denied since I already had an account. But it also wouldn't let me set it up for the website. So it gave me the option to delete the account and apply again. I did so, and it still won't approve me because I have already got an account (that I specifically disabled and destroyed using their instructions) attached to an alternative email address (that no longer exists). The solution according to them appears to either get the original email address back (impossible, when you do what I did, Adsense does say that you can get the address back within a certain time period just in case something like this does happen - well my email address was unable to be retrieved within half an hour, so good job) or follow a link to a page where they'll contact me and help me directly and oh that page is literally a fully made adsense page with the text saying that the information can't be found (and therefore gently caress you you're on your own)

I think if you want to contact AdSense, you should make an advertiser's account. They're likely to answer the phone in order to accept your moneys.

There's a pro-fracking ad that comes up regularly on Pandora that comes off super artificial. The best part comes at the end when the closest they can come to providing any sort of argument that the process is safe is that they've been doing it for 65 years now, as if it's common sense to actively turn a blind eye to cumulative effect.

I hate the new adverts for the army where some middle class parent says "Don't join the army" and then their chav kid thoroughly owns them by reciting a list of senseless cliches. Don't become a better person? Don't be all that I can be? Don't make something of myself? It probably works on their target audience, though.

Oh god there's an Australian defense recruiting ad that has some guy in the most deliberately obnoxious voice going about about how he's learning karatay followed by "Learn a real skill". Yeah you're right, learning to kill and/or get killed is way more valuable than martial arts, you condescending pricks!  Opinions(tm) aside, making GBS threads on a hobby* like that doesn't seem like the best way to get people agreeing with you.*More than a hobby for some people but I can't think of the word

I had a summer maintenance job at a factory with a guy just out of high school who was joining the Marines because "I hate school and they'll teach me to kill people" so that works on some people apparently.

Ads during the AFL grand final and everything. This is an academy where they reject you if you've ever done any sleep walking, have a wart on your knee, etc. I can't find any reference to it, but advertising cost divided by number of recruits was many thousands of dollars.

I'm pretty sure that's the same commercial as the one they were running on TV. It was disingenuous as gently caress. Why yes, local store owner, I'm sure you chat with your customers all the time about fracing and came to the conclusion that it was perfectly safe! They would have been better off having a loving suit come on to talk about how great fracing is than something so patronizingly fake.

I like it. It's provocative, colorful, and her lips look like the moistest turtleneck ever on him. I wonder if they planned it this way or if the ad designers had to look at hundreds of pictures to find one where the lady's mouth was juuuuuuust big enough to accommodate the head.

I was just musing whether the photographer directed her to open her mouth like she had a little man nestled comfortably against her pallet or if the ad designers had to search through stock images of ladies with their mouthes open.

Can anyone tell me what's up with subliminal commercials? Some have a normal commercial then flash something related to the commercial. The enzyme ones (the pill that claims/lies to make your dick bigger) are standalone and sometimes saw them once per break?

This is at least the second go-round of this style of ads, they did the whole "listen to your kids if they want to join the army" thing years ago. All I could think of was Ben Folds telling his dad he thought about joining the army and his dad said he was loving high (true story, not just a song).
