Auto-playing Ads on the Site Should be Gone Now
Just a heads up, if you were getting auto-playing ads on the site, they should be gone now. They weren't supposed to be coming up, but apparently some were still sneaking in. There are two generic ad providers on the site. Google Adwords and Federated Media. The ads displayed are based on the site's content as well as your interest. In case you didn't know, if you are logged into a Google account, Google will display ads relevant to what you've been searching on, ads relative to the site, or ads advertisers target on sites. That's why you might be seeing ads not related to synths and that's why you see political ads during election season. BTW, if you are an advertiser and you are on Adwords, you can target the three ad sections on the site. Anyway, both Google and FM allow you to specify what type of media comes through in Ads - images, audio, video, expandable ads and so on. I had and still have audio, video and expandable ads disabled so you should never get them. For some reason auto-playing video and audio was still coming through for one, so I removed it all together. If you get an auto-playing ad in the future, please let me know and apologies for the inconvenience. They annoy me just as much as they annoy you. This is a follow-up to this post.
