I understand ANY fish or aquarium related ads on this site but a christian dating service?! c'mon that's just silly and kind of pathetic. I hope you (Marcos) have some sort of say as to what ads google puts up here.

I actually laughed when I saw that one the first time. I do have the option to block specific ads, but I don't think it's the case at hand. Just take it for its humoristic aspect... 
I doubt they'll be advertising for long anyway...

gotcha Marcos
-Heather- It's sad and pathetic because this is a website dedicated to fishkeeping, it is not a social networking site nor does it have a christian affiliation. Before anyone jumps down my throat, it would be just as bad if it were a buddhist dating service, an ad for a mortgage lender or penis pills as they have nothing to do with the content on this site at all. Frankly, I despise internet advertisements of any type but can tolerate them when they are at least relevent to the information provided within the page.

Ah, well I didn't see it because I don't pay attention to the ads, but I can see what you're saying.

I ignore the little google ads, I just click the ones with the fishies in them. TwoFishGuys and Liveaquaria come to mind. I haven't seen these ads yet but I do remember one that was a horror site that was around Halloween but every time I saw it I wanted to click it, and I think I did and wasn't impressed.

| my favourite one so far is for "Nude Snorkeling in St. Maarten". I was under the impression that you shouldn't snorkel with bait |

Yes, it really works.  There are some ads it misses, but there are ways to tell it to block something.
