Advertisers

Do you ever check out your advertisers? There's one offering a "free ministerial license" that costs $19.95. Is this an ethical concern at all?

Re: Advertisers

The Google AdSense at the top of the page calls up advertisers, and I don't get warning of who may or may not be advertising.

I can, however, block some of the adverts, so if anyone has any particular concerns about any of them, let me know the URL displayed on the ad and I'll look to block it.

As for selling ministerial licences - unfortunately, it seems a fact of life of capitalist consumer markets. Happens outside the faith boundaries, too.

Re: Advertisers

Has anyone else had trouble with pop-up ads that come up even if the ad is not clicked on? They seem to be religious ads yet I can't tell if they are related to the ads linked to CR or not. It only happens at CR for me.

Re: Advertisers

There are no pop-ups on CR - I loathe the things and never use them on any site. Sounds more like you've got spyware on your PC - sorry about that.

Arrrrgh. You are probably right Brian. I have a firewall that's supposed to stop all that. Will have to look into what's going on.

Thank you!
