GM Ad?

Why do we have a GM ad on a Ford site? Just wondering...

Paid ad I guess, so I don't have to pay
Just hope the site doesn't get to ad heavy

I pay and am perturbed. Don't the guaranteed mechanical catastrophe folks have their own forums?

FTE doesn't pick the ads, Google does. They help pay for the site and we have no choice as to what is displayed, sad as it is.

I have a lot of Amazon adds from looking for tools from work, and I buy clothes from there alot since I dislike shopping in stores.

Plus I will get adds from what ever car I had a fancy for the previous week.

I wonder if they are individualized. I get a lot of Nissan ads. I do a bit of work on my girlfriend's old Nissan truck though, so I guess Google logs old searches and posts relevant ads.

Makes my wonder why you are getting GM ads?

I'm a SUPPORTER but I saw what 1972Redneck was talking about. It was an actual thread in this forum, not an ad as you'd get if you were not a supporter. It even changed from GM to Ford for a bit. Not it seems to be gone.
