Websites with excessive, poorly placed ads...
So, anyone experience one of these lately?

Flyertalk. A vertical banner ad often blocks much of the first few posts on my iPad. Maybe the numerous changes I have noticed on FT in the past few days will address that.

Not really, although I have noticed one website that is using a square ad where a rectangular one would make much more sense (and get more clicks).

I will agree that the only web site that has given me real problems with ad placement is FT. Chronic!

Yahoo Sports, which used to be a decent site

I hope I am not the only one who keeps getting those obnoxious ads for Muslim and Russian dating services, complete with provocative pics.

The ads one sees are often based on browsing history ... if it's not your history, who else is using your computer, and what are they using it for?

That would be a very logical assumption but I certainly haven't been doing anything like that, not even remotely related. Pretty sure my wife would be none too thrilled if I was checking out Russian matchmaking sites!
I do read the DailyMail on occasion, so maybe the algorithm has pegged me as a desperate loser
