Or doesn't it matter as long as you make money from it?

This was one of your ads in a thread. To me it shows a pic of a man with a little girl and the ad says his name. Now go down the page,same pic , different name. By the way there are 3 people in my small town with that name, he is not one of them.

It's an ad.  I'm sure you've seen the "single girls in your area looking to connect" ads too.  Guess what, those are models and they don't live in your area.

I guess then HONESTY AND INTEGRITY isn't one of Covers strong suits? You hold us to higher standards, why not your advertisers?

Because they don't care about the users. Pretty simple. The hyprocrisy is amazing

Histrionic personality disorder. It's sad

Hey Guys, the ad is just geo targeted like most ads but none the less agree ads like this should not be showing. I have passed this onto the guys in advertising and they are looking into it as we speak.

Thanx Rizz.  And please pass along to the CT member in post #2 that I'm sorry that he had to find that out the hard way.

They must still be looking because the ads keep showing up.

As a Internet Marketing professional Geo-targeting is great for search but it doesn't convert well which i a m sure you can see on your stats. You would be much better behaviorally profiling your users and serving them ads that don't consistently upset your user base. We can all agree that you need to make money and the only way to do that is advertising but maybe you should think of hiring a professional ad agency to handle that for you, You have built a very good base of users and i can see them going away slowly.

Honestly running JV membership with similar sites likes SBR on a cost per sign-up basis would be something that may be interesting, Just my two cents.
