P1000 I was thinking something is not right

[Buckshotaz]

When I have too much time on my hands, and my very lovely bride is still asleep, I worry about things. Like some of you, I get up early, between 4:00-5:00 even on weekends, I make coffee, feed the dogs and relax in front of the computer and check out what's going on this website.

I like to read about everyone's weekend trips at different places across the country, as well as the different accessories you guys are bolting onto your Hondas. I don't like to hear when one of our own has a problem with there rig, but I do like when someone posts about an issue, many with mechanical knowledge reply with fixes to these problems.

This website has provided me with a great deal of information and entertainment, but, sometimes I wonder why some things are even on this website, and a good example of that would be, the advertisement for the Canam Defender on a Honda website? Is this wrong of me to think that this advertisement shouldn't be here?

Please let me know if any of you are having the same issues, and what you are doing to look past it

Yes I was wondering the same thing as to why a can am defender is being advertised on this site.

 

[sporttrac4x4]

It's about money if they pay they can advertise what they want to that's why you see that can am defender they need all the help they can get to sale them.

@sporttrac4x4 is correct.
We use Google Adsense for advertisements. Can-am has bought ads from them with the goal of putting them in front of people who are looking for a UTV. Seeing you are in a UTV site... You see there ads.

It is also based on your cookies. Have you searched for the word "can-am" lately? Boom... You get Can-am ads.

Try it out. Search for Toyota Truck! Click around a bit in the results. I bet you will start to see ads for Toyota and or truck ads.

So, if what you are saying is true, we should coletivly do a google search for for something other than Can Am Defenders, this way we wouldn't see these Defender advertisements any longer. With that said, I propose we should post ideas on what this new search topic should be. I would like to start this campaign by suggesting a search topic, everyone can add their ideas of search topics and we vote on one topic and all do that search!

I don't know how to do one of those pole things, perhaps someone that does could step up and help the world rid ourselves of Can Am Defender advertisements. So let's get the ball rolling by submitting your ideas and someone can collect the data, put a pole together where we can vote?

So, my contribution to the proposed search topics is, Swedish Bikini Models

Lol..
I was going to use victoriassecret.com as the example to "improve your view" but choose Toyota. Hahahah.

Plus. It works on what the individual searches. Not us collectively.

It may be true that individual searching is what triggers adds on our computers, but it wouldn't hurt to try. So let's do this experiment and see the results

 

[Hondasxs]

Agreed. Searching now.

Yes! Now isn't that better than looking at a Can Am Definder? Let's see what others have for ideas on search topics

 

[Bayouownbeer]

I have the can-am and never searched for one

I don't get any ad's not sure why. But I'm good not getting them.

 

[hondarock]

Of course you could get ghostery and not see any of those ad's.

That is what Yamaha and Can Am and Polaris owners use.

But maybe the ad's are what make this site interesting.

 

[Buckshotaz]

My suggested solution is to get rid of the Windows computer, and get a Linux system instead. That way you don't have to put up with all the Windows shortcomings, and you can also use "ad block" on the Linux.

All good ideas, but my point is, wouldn't you rather look at Swedish models? Maybe there are those on here that would end up sleeping in the garage for a week if their wife catches them. So tell us what you would rather look at than a Can Am Defender

 

[Buckshotaz]

Can Am was bad enough, now I am being subjected to Polaris advertisements. I guess when you wish for a change in advertisements I should be more specific. Ok, if Swedish bikini models will not sit well at the home front, I am wishing for advertisements for beer, not that Europen motor oil tasting crap, but for good old American beer.

 

[moparornocar]

Good god, what do they put in the water in Sweden?

 

[Tflynn]

It's because you're a lifetime member. We don't see ads.

 

[JTW]

Can I make a suggestion that the 2018 takeover be held in Sweden??

 

[drfubar]

Yea, I hear ya, look it's 0430 and I'm up looking at the computer with a cup of JOE. Not feeding the doggies this early though.lol
