    Geo-targetted banners are a joke

    They keep telling me a woman in Brentford is waiting for my call...Where the fuck is Brentford? I think it's some obscure suburb of somewhere else about 100 miles away.

            I have to agree. AFF used to say I was in San Jose which is correct. For the last month or so it says i am in Moraga. LOL, I had no fucking clue where that was so I hit up mapquest. Turns out it is a small town about 15 miles east of Oakland and 50 miles from me. It was good before but I am not sure why it is so far off now. There is another one out there that says i am in Mount Laurel. So far I have been unable to find a Mount Laurel, CA. Even google and yahoo do not know where Mount Laurel, CA is.

              Well, click through ratios in Brentford must be good ...as for the rest of England, I wouldn't have thought so. But I'm always open to be educated.

                      For me it says Brentford, M1. M1?
                      M1 is a motorway that goes up the middle of most of the country.

                          not sure where that is but its probably the right country. Would be better if it just said sweden.

                            Would you rather your surfer look at a pic and think:

                            "Damn, she's only 100 miles away. Close enough to drive but far enough so my wife won't catch me!"

                            Or:

                            "I bet that chick's in England. That's thousands of miles away. Oh well, I'll try to pic up some chick on myspace."

                            ???

                            Tough choice, eh?

                              Blame your ISP. If they had set up the central you are connected to, it would show it correct. it have NOTHING to do with the people that designed the geo-banners

                                  There are better ways of implementing them, unfortunately none of the sponsors out there are doing it so I use my own code.

                                    Now, you don't really think you can go 1000s of miles within England do you?

                                      Yes, but then why do some sites show me correctly and others do not?

                                        Read it again.

                                        In England, thousands of miles away. As in, "I'm in the USA. She's in England". Thousands of miles vs. 100 miles, was the point.

                                                    would work better if they just used the largest city within 50-75 miles of you - a large % of people live in suburbs and smaller towns but identify with the nearest large city. if u meet somebody online, or on vacation and they live in some town 50 miles out of Chicago - when you ask them where they're from most people won't say 'We're from Peebucket, Illinois' , they'll say 'Chicago' 'Chicago area' or 'near Chicago'.
                                                    I moved my sites to Vacares Hosting. I've saved money, my hair is thicker, lost some weight too! Thanks Sly!
