Interesting...now I'm starting to see local ads.  Such as one for an Irish pub in downtown Dallas I've been to a few times.

I got one German language ad, several coupon ads, but no Amazon ad either.

However, the squirrel one from Weird was too funny.  If you don't want to go looking, it's...

I got an ad about following the serialization of a unique character, Saffron Sally.
I've never seen one of those!  :-\

Yeah.  The ads provide a pretty interesting window onto site use, and as I suspected, the forums make up the lion's share of the traffic (in terms of visits/page loads).   Prior to putting them on the forums, I made about 5000-6000 "impressions" (ad-loads) per day.  Yesterday I made nearly 20,000.  Granted, with ads at the top and bottom of the page, I *think* I'm technically making two impressions per page load, but that's still fairly impressive. 

Well, in the last two days I have been over to Amazon.com more than once and I never did that until I saw the ad at the top of the page about clicking from this site...

Well, right on then.  Thanks for switching over. ;)

Now Fred, there you go ruining a perfectly good bit of paranoia with mundane logic and facts...
