| Advertisement on YT I noticed an dad for yorkie puppies right below the headline of the site. When I clicked on the link, it was an advertisement for "teacup" yorkies. I was under the impression breeders that use that term are generally not good ones. Why is a forum dedicated to knowledge on the breed advertising what could be bad breeders? Please excuse me if I am wrong about this. It just had me very curious and is like some clarification. |

| They are google ads and the forum doesn't place then there. Instead they are there based on your google searches. You can't even imagine some of the things that have popped up as ads after I've done some searches. Right now my ads are American Express and Gwyinnee B because I clicked on something over on FB. Way down at the bottom of my screen is Zappos misses me The other day you were looking at that website about teacup Yorkie puppies and posted about it. So now your ads will be from that google search.

| Usually you will see ads that are relevant to searches you have done. These are not YT ads. They are 3rd party ads. The ad I am seeing right now is for online schools. This is because I have been researching curriculum during the last few days.

I have to say I was not in the least tempted by the online school. Now I have ads for roadrunnersports shoes. I seriously need to learn to do better searches.

I reported the same thing to admin about a week or so ago. The ad was actually by a Broker advertising her teacups. I was informed about google and I understand but still don't like it! If I were new to YT and looking for a pup and saw the ad I would have thought that this person was a reputable breeder. Glad I know better now but still worry about those that don't. I know there are tips for searching for a reputable breeder here but the new comer probably wouldn't.

Yes, share. At least yours looks exciting. Honestly, it's like the computer is a tattletale about my boring life. I can't even search for exciting things. Oh my gosh!!!! I am a crazy, boring dog lady.

| I have you all beat when it comes to boring. My ad is about commercial roofing. Strange because I don't remember googling about roofing. I'm just glad it didn't show what I really searched for. 😱

| I just happen to know a good commercial roofer... But not sure I could afford to drive my crew back and forth to do a job

| my ads must be reading my mind because I was just looking at Stella and thinking wow you need a trim so my ad now is 20% off pet grooming.
