Epic fail advertisement on here

[crazycatlady6]

has anyone else seen the ad on here on becoming a surrogate mother and creating a family? the website is growing generations.com  but not cool that it shows up on the IF board.

Who would I contact about removing this ad? NariaDreaming? 

ETA: I just saw a second ad for the same website.

[annaclaire256]

No, but I did get an add for maternity clothes from zulily on here earlier

If you guys can get the URLs of the surrogacy ad, I can block it. Also tell me if its above or below the sidebar.

Also, I am cracking up that the amazon search box contextual picked up on "epic fail' and recommended this book.

Thank you. I'll contact our account manager and have him block it

Oh, also I will be working with Patrick to remove all ad slots on this board and on the miscarriage boards and CAL. It's one of those situations where we have to make things work before we can start un-building systems.

Ads can change based on the board right? Like these adds would be fine under PAIF or CAR or Parenting or whatever. What we need here is ads for

1. Wine
2. Liquor
3. Netflix
4. Wine

You are a genius. I'll still have to work with Patrick to build the coding, but yes; theoretically we could build tags that have nothing to do with babies

NariaDreaming I keep seeing a zulily one about maternity clothes on the upper right, above the sidebar
tpc.googlesyndication.com/simgad/15518916461262036687

And today I got one about getting rid of your C-section scar (also above the sidebar)...

I've been seeing the zuilily maternity clothes one a lot lately, too. Her outfit is really unflattering and ugly though, so it doesn't make me feel that bad.
(Kidding ... Obviously I'd be thrilled to be pregnant and frumpy)

[NariaDreaming]

Hey guys. Patrick just got back from his holiday and we're trying to work through the best way to filter out these ads.

I'm going to PM a couple of you to have you test something for me.

I get this one a lot too. :-(

Last night I got an Amazon ad on the side for fox novelty socks and thought it was actually pretty appropriate for the board.

[emilie]

The current one for me on this board is "For Women with Depression." COME ON.

[NariaDreaming]

PM's sent to a few of you. Check your inbox

Oh yeah. Sometimes its so annoying to view all these ads but there is nothing true about them. I once fell prey to a similar kind of trick. I wanted to go for surrogacy after ttc for so long. I heard about lotus clinic and went for them without research. I emailed them and asked about all the packages and deals and shared my concerns. And then waited and waited for reply. There was none. I tried again. I even contacted them on phone. No chance of any response. It was frustrating as well as disappointing. So yeah i can understand most of these are scammers.
